Call or fold? Murkmanz Why are you giving away this information' This play is very weak & opens you up to being outplayed at every opportunity. Posted in: Poker Discussion	MYBLUEDOG May 11th, 2013
spread limit antes and confision on play 1-200 spread-limit appears to be mostly equivalent to 100bb stacks of NLHE (since your max bet is 200 or 100bb). The $5 open is just a pot builder bet and gives villains 39:1 implied odds. The $10 flop bet looks like the players are reverting to a limit holdem betting structure for a 5/10 LHE game. Rather tight game play trying to get to showdown with pot control. If you are comfortable playing limit holdem, then this should be an interesting game. If you flop a big hand, you can try to leverage your equity to play a big pot (increasing the size of your bet on the turn or river). Looks like ...

Anyone play at Harrahs Cherokee? I've been here since Tuesday, Apr 2nd. Played 4/2 to 4/5/13 on the pro-teck 1/2 NLHE games. It feels more like single tabling online poker. It takes the newbies about 10 minutes to learn to use the table graphics to play. During my 20 hours of play, it roles about 37 to 50 hands per hour depending on how fast the players make decisions. There is a 45 second time clock to keep the games moving (refills time each hand). The games are very "good." Seems to be a good amount of bluffing and several stations in every game. I'm pulling in twice what I usually expect at other places I play ... Posted in: Live Poker	MYBLUEDOG Apr 6th, 2013
WSOP Circuit Harrah's Cherokee Event 4 is a Re=entry tournament. You can start with 4B without being in 4A. (If you only arrive an hour early, you might be able to get on an alternates list.) Yes, they have a larger than expected turn-out. Todays #1 sold out before the event started (alternate list). Posted in: Live Poker	MYBLUEDOG Apr 4th, 2013
Run it twice on PS and FTP If you have a proper roll to play the games, why would you want to R.I.T. If you want to chop pots (break even), why not just use "play Money" games' Posted in: Poker Sites	MYBLUEDOG Mar 6th, 2013
Vegas lodging advice They also have shuttle service to the strip and other locations if you decide not to drive/park at the casinos. All the SunCoast casinos have low rates and reasonably good rooms for resting thru the night Posted in: Live Poker	MYBLUEDOG Feb 27th, 2013
Starting MTT player If you don't want to play the mega field MTT's, you could begin playing the 90 man & 180 man MT_SNG's. They give you a better chance to build your bank roll while getting more experience playing in larger fields. You could also multi-table several MT_SNG's and add in one large field MTT to get a shot at a larger pay-off event in each session. If you have $200 to $500 bank roll, you should be BR'd to play the $1 buy-in events. When you get to $700 you can begin to add in the $2 events. Posted in: Poker Sites	MYBLUEDOG Feb 13th, 2013

Poker Volume Yes, but it depends on your motivation for playing. Each of us has to work at playing at a level where we can optimum (play +EV) poker. Posted in: Poker Community	MYBLUEDOG Feb 7th, 2013
Is this collusion?? And what should the ruling be??? 4-5 minutes to make a decision more than 5+ times is an indication you are abusing the clock (stalling). You should have been clocked several times & been given a warning + penalties. I don't see any indication of collusion. It's an indication of the players being frustrated with your stalling tactics.

Deep stacked late in MTT My first suggestion: when the blinds & antes are large, you don't need to open 3bb. You can find out what you need to know with 2bb or 2.1bb. If you are shoved-on by a medium to big stack, then you can fold and save a bb/bet. A bet (bb) saved is just as good as a bet (bb) won. Your betting patterns should be consistent. Your opening raise should be the same whether you have a good hand or speculative hand. This way you do not give any tells based on your bet sizing. When you are opening (stealing), you should view the players behind you. Your plan of action should identify which players ... Posted in: Poker Discussion*	MYBLUEDOG Jan 29th, 2013

1-2NL Cash Game Hand Playing short stacked, you played it well. You started with 40bb & got your money in with the best hand and the best of it. That's what you want. You don't want the donkeys to fold their weak/bad hands. You want them to play bad. It's unfortunate for you that he catches lucky but "That's poker." Next time buy-in for 100bb's or a reasonable amount to cover most of the players (or table max if it's a house rule for 50bb's.). Then play some real poker. If you are there to have fun just continue like you're doing. There is nothing wrong with playing to have fun while you learn. You shouldn't ... Posted in: Poker Discussion	MYBLUEDOG Jan 9th, 2013

AKhh facing 29BBs reshove... snap call?+ You are a pretty good favorite when you take out [AA] [KK] & [QQ]. I stoved 31% range & took out the big pairs: equity win Hero: 66.240% { AhKh } Villn: 33.760% { JJ-22, A2s+, K4s+, Q7s+, J8s+, T8s+, 98s, A5o+, K8o+, Q9o+, J9o+, T9o } If he's a little tighter 22% with big pairs out: equity win Hero: 64.370% { AhKh } Villn: 35.630% { JJ-22, A4s+, K7s+, Q9s+, J9s+, T9s, A8o+, KTo+, QTo+, JTo } If he's pretty tight 12% equity win Hero: 58.948% { AhKh } Villn: 41.052% { JJ-22, A9s+, KTs+, QTs+, AJo+, KQo } If this is close to his perceived range it should be an easy call but doesn't mean ...

Sorry if this seems an easy decision but am I too cautious? Your fold of AJs can be seen as preserving your tournament equity. If you range in your opponent at about 12% stove indicates you are a coinflip. equity win Hand 0: 48.968% { AhJh } Hand 1: 51.032% { 77+, A9s+, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, ATo+, KQo } If you think your opponent is a nit (tight) this would justify a fold. equity Hand 0: 38.920% { AhJh } Hand 1: 61.080% { JJ+, AJs+, KQs, AQo+, KQo } What ever you do, you have to be satisfied with your decision. In your question, you mentioned that you were new at the table (no reads). There is no problem with folding in the situation and waiting to ... Posted in: Poker Discussion	MYBLUEDOG Jan 4th, 2013
Getting back into sng's If you're going to start with $200 and play SnG's you will be better served to start with the $1.10 36/45/90 player MT-SnG's. You can play 3 to 6 at a time and you can be +EV with 20 to 25% ITM. For 6 or 9 player events you will need to be +40% ITM to be break-even to slightly winning & building your roll. You can move up buy-ins $2.25/$3.30 when your BR reaches $500+. I get this advice based on my experience pre-BF. I used to back about 10 to 20 players at times. You will also need to review your games to see where you make mistakes & correct those errors. Keep good notes on the players ... Posted in: Poker Discussion	MYBLUEDOG Dec 29th, 2012
Poker Account balance - FullTilt I have seen some USA players questioning what their account balances were when they were shutdown Apr 15 2011. If you didn't take a screenshot of your cashier page and need to know your last balance (or your deposit/withdrawal history) you can request it from FullTilt. You will need to load the FullTilt poker client; login and click the >Request< drop menu & select >Account History< drop down. I requested mine yesterday and received a reply in about 30 minutes (excel spreadsheet format). You can save the spreadsheet to your PC and have a record of your balance. It might be useful if/when we ... Posted in: Poker Sites	MYBLUEDOG Dec 24th, 2012
Does this qualify for high hand pot? At showdown, player hand is the best possible hand using the board. In this case his final hand is: [KKKAA]. The only way around this is if there is some written rule to cover variation for High Hand awards. He's S.O.L. Posted in: Live Poker	MYBLUEDOG Dec 10th, 2012

Quick question about watching full tilt from use I'm in USA & I'm watching some live cash games (ring & tournaments) on FullTilt, now. When I log in, I get a message reminding me that I'm not allowed to play real money games. I have to check-off a box each time I log-in acknowledging my agreement to this limitation.

building bankroll with triple up sit and gos For 9 player sng, 37% ITM is reasonable to slightly beat BE. This gives you 0.9% ROI ($0.03 avg) if you are playing $3.30 Trp-Up SnG. ITM = $9 pay-out If you are ITM 40% you will be making $36 for every $33 for 10 buy-iins or $3 profit ( 9% ROI). Posted in: Poker Discussion	MYBLUEDOG Nov 26th, 2012
River kills me Please move to bad beats forum. Posted in: Bad Beats	MYBLUEDOG Nov 26th, 2012
What should I do here? You called a relatively short stack (27bb) opener OOP with a bad hand. It was checked around on the flop and you bet minimum 200 (= 1bb) into 6bb pot on a very drawy (wet) board. You telegraphed that you have a very weak hand. He maybe bluffing but he could easily be bluffing with better than you pair [77] with [T] kicker. Based on the way the hands were played, you should fold to his PSB since the flush completed; the str8 is completed & their are 2 over cards. You beat [A], [K], [J] high cards and small pairs that don't connect. Posted in: Poker Discussion	MYBLUEDOG Nov 26th, 2012
First live cash game experience, how to adjust? One thing you didn't acknowledge in your post. 1/2 NL online is a rather shallow-stack play with $200.00 (100bb's deep) & 1/2 NL live with $300 or $400 stacks is more of a deep-stack game (150bb's to 200bb's). The games are quite different games. There are significant implied odds for each game. Calling raises deep stacks versus ID'd players for being married to big pairs is great. You are correct that there are lots of bad players (great situation) but some times they stumble into playing loose/optimal play (implied odds) deep stacked. You need more time at the games and observing who ... Posted in: Live Poker	MYBLUEDOG Nov 26th, 2012

Riverspot vs random clicker [$11+r AH] Yes, you can call with your bluff catcher. Just remember that just because he is a "random-donk" in your mind, doesn't mean he can't beat you [TT]'s. He could have [Ax], [Kx], spades, [JJ], [QQ], [44] or [77], [JTs], [QJs], air. I wouldn't be surprised if you lost. He might be bluffing with the best hand or he could be over betting hoping you will read him as weak. He could be aware of his image & using it against you. All things considered, he might have a good read on your blocking bet (weak play). You bet what you were willing to lose (blocking-bet) but he didn't cooperate. You ...

facing river shove deep in $11 10K guarantee on stars You listed his pre-flop stats. You forgot to give us his stats for flop & turn betting. Maybe you didn't check his 4th street stats to see if he was the type to show aggression when you check. It's to bad you let his [JJ]'s get there for free on the turn. That's the problem with playing OOP, you can't control the cards when villan doesn't bet instead of taking a free card. He might not have folded an over pair, anyway. He had showdown value (over-pair) and was looking to get there with minimal risk. Posted in: Poker Discussion	MYBLUEDOG Nov 20th, 2012
