Re:Misplayed???
I would have reraised pre, you are oop after the flop and have no real clue where exactly the player is in the hand.Even if you lead out after the flop you have no real clue where he is and since pre you showed no strength he could easily repop you on the flop.I would have reraised pre from anywhere from 180 to 220.

Re:SNG/Multitable SNG/MTT Bankroll Management Chart and Guide
I'm confused about something $270 - $6.25 HU $357 - $5.50 STTs With HU being higher variance than STTs shouldn't it be the other way around' Also once the bankroll reaches $357 I can play anything thats listed at the smaller amounts right' I also need clarification about the cashing out.If you play a $6.25 HU that is 12 cents to add to the cashing out that I understand.So until you reach the sites minimum cashout that 12 cents is gone and you can't play with it at all correct'

What affect will this have on us players?
What affect will this latest setback by the UIGEA have on the US players' Is it just strictly limiting the depositing and withdrawing to banks' Since I believe Pokerstars isn't based in the US, can they even be held accountable by these laws' Basically what I'm getting at, is now the time to be getting our money off the sites, or just no more deposits'

Re:should i of called?
Just because 1 hand comes out that way doesn't mean every hand will.Thats like saying you should play 73o because Joe Hachem won the 2005 main event with it.Because the board came 456 you gotta play 73o all the time according to your should i have played this hand because it would have made a big hand.

Re:Is this a fold?
What you lose to - AJ,J9,J8,J3,99,88,33,QT,T7 Would he limp J3 or T7 or make a large reraise on the flop with underpairs or jst a gutshot' Highly unlikely. So realistically you lose to - AJ,J9,J8,99. Since you know how he plays would he limp in a limped pot with those hands then make a decent reraise on the flop. Why call all the way down if you are just going to fold to the shove when a non scare card hits'

Re:QQ i have no Fking clue
Would a call with the intenion to shove the flop be out of line here' Could MMCcollom17 be reraising to isolate against the shorty thinking we are playing a small pp,suited connecter or something a long those lines'

Re:Some typical bankroll management questions
Question 1 I meant I know the general rule is to have atleast 45 to 60 buyins to play a level at a SNG, which I obviously don't have at the $3.40 level.However the $3.40s are only like 3% of my roll.So should I play them since they are such a small % of my bankroll despite not having the X amount of buyins'

Some typical bankroll management questions
I have read FOX's Bankroll management article, and I am just wondering if these guidelines are too loose to follow to try and build a roll that if I had to I could deposit, however I would prefer not. Current roll:$97.85 LHE:.02/.04 to .05/.10 NLHE: .01/.02 SNG's: $3.40 MTT's: $1.10 1)Should I still play the $1.20 SNGs as opposed to the $3.40s with my bankroll below the 45 - 65 buy in rule even though its less than 5% of my roll' 2)What is the general rule for how much I should buy in at ring games' I usually buy in for between $2 and $3 is that about right' 3)What satelites if ...

6 Max turbos - Best strategy?
What is the best strategy in these' Limp with small pairs, weak aces and raise big with AT+,KQ+ and TT+' Or do you have to be more aggressive and raise or reraise with pretty much anything you would play'Is 2.5 x bb too small to raise pre'It seems like even after 50/100 with 3 x bb raises you are committing a large portion of your stack pre that you would almost have to shove after the flop no matter what' I obviously don't play a whole lot of these, but would like to learn.Any advice anyone'

Re:SNG Hand - Whats the Math?
I put 60-30 because i knew it was in that ballpark general area, just didnt know how far above 60 and how far above 30 it was.I am well aware that I missed the 10% but thats because like i said i didnt know the exact numbers off the top of my head.

Re:SNG Hand - Whats the Math?
well I put 60 - 30 because i know im around a 2 to 1 favorite against his actual holding, just dont know the actual % off the top of my head.Jennifear do you have the actual math handy'Only reason I'm asking is strictly because of his chip count curious about whether the call is right against the one person that can bust me.

SNG Hand - Whats the Math?
From a mathematically standpoint should I make this call, or since he is the only person who can bust me do I fold to the open shove' I know I am a 2 to 1 favorite which means that I probably should call, and that if I do win I increase my chances of winning.I think I am supposed to make the call, just wondering if it was a justifiable call math wise. I'm not asking because I got unlucky, just wondering what the ev of this call is with the blinds and stacks where they are. PokerStars Game #19198241837: Tournament #98769731, $1.00+$0.20 Hold'em No Limit - Level IV (50/100) - ...

SNG Blind Steal Question
Say you are in a $1.20 9 Man SNG . You have a tight aggressive table image, the level of skill is typical for the buy in. You play tight for the first couple of blind levels. However say when blinds get up to say 50/100 75/150 and there are still 6 or more players left. What sort of Hand ranges are you looking to steal with' Would you loosen up starting hands any'

Re(1): simple answers to the "how do i get better questions" people are always asking
Go back and look at hand histories for sngs. Try and figure out what you did right and what you did wrong every hand. After you have cooled off mentally from either winning or losing, go back hand by hand and ask yourself - would I play the hand now like I did then. I know as poker players, we have big egos though some more than others. Any time you answer that yes you would have played the hand differently, try and figure out why you played the hand the way you did. What your mental state was at that exact moment and figure out how not to get into that mental state the next sng.

(open ended question) MTT - Starting Hands,Bet Sizes and Changing Gears
I thought this type of question might lead to some informative discussion. What type of style do you have in Multi Table Tournaments' What type of starting hands do you play in what position' Also how does that change when you change gears. When do you change gears - every blind level, every break or do you just play the same style all the time'
