Discussion re: site to site transfers I'm guessing what you hope they will think when you ban them is "oh I should read the rules before I post in this thread" But what they really think when you ban them is "oh I should spend a lot less time on this site" The idea of transfers is great, but bans over a minor oversight that amounts to a typo is ridiculous and just plain wrong. This obviously isn't going to get anywhere, you seem extremely adamant that your original position on bans for no good reason is warranted, and somehow you think it will go over ok with your members. It just doesn't work that way. In any case, I'm done ... Posted in: Poker Community	Raoeoiku Aug 30th, 2010
Discussion re: site to site transfers I appreciate that you're trying to protect the players from being scammed, and applaud you for this. My issue is with the fact that a minor deviation from your guidelines results in a 1 day ban on only your first offence. During this time, players will be unable to respond to the transfer thread or PMs, so in many cases they won't be able to do the transfer when they need it. In some cases, posters may be multitasking while making their transfer request, and obviously anyone and everyone is capable of making these minor mistakes of formatting. I assume the ban policy was implimented to ... Posted in: Poker Community	Raoeoiku Aug 30th, 2010
Discussion re: site to site transfers Mods, admins, doesn't matter who does it. I'm pointing out that its a very poor policy, and one that makes absolutely no sense. Posted in: Poker Community	Raoeoiku Aug 30th, 2010
Discussion re: site to site transfers I agree with pikappraider that giving out 1 or 2 day bans for forgetting to post your site names when requesting a transfer is extremely harsh and counterproductive. In fact, it's also quite rude and seems like an abuse of mod powers. In my case I had already successfully transferred, and got banned for forgetting to include my screen names in my second request, despite the fact that my screen names are easily available and typed out with no possibility for errors in my profile. People make posts to transfer because they need funds, and they will often need them in a hurry. As a result, they ... Posted in: Poker Community	Raoeoiku Aug 30th, 2010
poop spot Pretty player dependent, but in general terms I'd guess he's bluffing quite a bit less than the 26% you'd need to call here. Preflop and flop seem fine, check/folding the turn may be better, depending if you feel he's floating you with a lot that would be behind you on the turn or not. Even if he is, if you feel he's capable of firing the river bullet, you're probably better off folding the turn rather than getting yourself in this type of spot.

What to do pf in this situation? Payouts and more detailed info on table dynamics would help. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Raoeoiku Aug 21st, 2010
obvious shove? sun warmup ft bubble Folding would be terrible. Shoving is unexploitable by a long shot, so it can't ever be bad and will always be superior to folding. Raise/folding may be superior given current table dynamics though. How often has sb been folding to your min raises, and/or reraising other players on the table' Posted in: Poker Discussion	Raoeoiku Aug 21st, 2010
ICM question FT of $75 22.5k Without any considerations for how much easier it likely will be to increase your stack with the CL and a 3rd place stack, I think you'd need about 49% equity to make this call with ICM considerations. If you feel you'll be more likely to increase your stack/equity with the CL, then you should require evem more than this. Remember that people become less afraid to reraise you every time you fold here though, so it can become increasingly difficult to chip up if you're folding in a lot of these spots. In any case, 99+, AQs+, AKo are all calls vs a normal range for your opponent. AQo and 88 ... Posted in: Poker Discussion	Raoeoiku Aug 20th, 2010
Is this an easy fold or an easy call? If he's pushing with the ideal range or wider it's a call. However, since he may not be pushing every suited ace, T9s, J9s, Q9s, K9s, KTo, QJo type hands and possibly a couple of the lowest pairs, it becomes a bit closer. Basically, if you think he knows what he's doing here, you should probably call unless its near a major pay increase. If its near a bubble or you think he's not pushing a lot of those hands (and more) for some other reason, then fold. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Raoeoiku Aug 19th, 2010
Hand question! plz help You used the calculator properly Jason. What it shows you is the proper range for him to push and you to call, assuming both of you use the optimal ranges. The problem is your opponent may be pushing with a different range than this. If you suspect he's pushing wider, you can widen your calling range, and QTo may become a call if its wide enough. If he's pushing fewer hands than the nash icm calculator recommends you'll need to tighten your calling range, dropping some of the weaker hands. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Raoeoiku Aug 19th, 2010
adjusting calling/shoving ranges to nowadays players Calling with the A9o would be a mistake. The sb should be pushing any 2 against you, and there isn't anything you can do about it other than wake up with a good pair. Specifically about 88+ (even AKs should be folded, as it doesn't win often enough against a random hand). Of course, if you feel he's pushing any tighter than any two, you should be calling even tighter than 88+. If you know the bb player is calling with the correct range, the J2o hand is really close, depending on whether you mean he had a 1550 stack before or after posting his bb. However, as this player is obviously calling ... Posted in: Poker Discussion	Raoeoiku Aug 18th, 2010
Collusion AP/UB ?? Opinions wanted.... Definitely seems like collusion from what you posted Jverse. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Raoeoiku Aug 17th, 2010
wwyd? I'd raise smaller pre (to under 9k) to make shoves by the players in the blinds less profitable. Either way, bb should be reraising you here with AK. In any case, as played your shove was fine, and probably the best play given the pot size relative to your stack. If the pot wasn't already so large, flatting to try to get more of your chips in further ahead would have been fine as well. Given that its a $1 tourney, a larger raise that commits you to the pot (maybe 48-56k) rather than a complete push may give you a better shot at taking this down on the flop though. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Raoeoiku Aug 16th, 2010
4 bet shove ?????? $50 +$5 UB NOVACINGOOD would have to be reraising pretty light for this to be even close to a call. Generally you'd be better off shoving pre, but if the table tends to call really light or otherwise spew a lot, just muck it and wait for a slightly better hand. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Raoeoiku Aug 16th, 2010
What's your play with AQ here ? 50 cubed I'd fold. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Raoeoiku Aug 13th, 2010
Think I might have misplayed turn? 11cubed I wouldn't bet the turn vs 2 flats of your reraise. I'd even consider just shutting down after the 2 flats and bad turn card, excluding a J, 8, 6 hitting the river obviously. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Raoeoiku Aug 12th, 2010
final 2 tables of stars 30k tough spot If you ignore the awkward bet sizing and just consider it as though he's moved in, you'd need him to have a range of at least 88+, AJs+, AQo+ or wider to even consider calling him here, given pot odds and chip equity, with no thought at all to icm or edge or polarized ranges due to funky bet sizing. So basically, his range has to be wider than this to call. Do you feel this is likely, given the buyin, player and everything else' If not, muck it. Also, flatting is fine pre.

Consolidated Moved from PD Thread Pretty standard call, just unlucky if you were behind. Posted in: Bad Beats	Raoeoiku Aug 11th, 2010
Daily 90K 55$ Approaching the bubble As has been said, shove pre is better. As played call the push, pot is too big to fold now, and you're not nearly far enough behind likely ranges to fold now. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Raoeoiku Aug 11th, 2010
Any one have a problem with shoving Any 2 here? Easy fold, not even close. Maybe if you were small blind... Posted in: Poker Discussion	Raoeoiku Aug 11th, 2010
super turbo SNG step spot...jennifear or someone good with sngs Alright, obviously the nash calculated range of 99+, AKs and AKo has been posted a few times, so lets start from this. The nash equilibrium makes 2 major assumptions (besides the obvious that everyone must either push or fold): a) Each player knows every other player will act according to optimal ranges. b) The hand happens in a vacuum, meaning that no consideration is given to the possibility of any hands that may follow the case hand. The problem is that players don't tend to push with optimal ranges. and that there is nearly always the possibility of hands to follow the hand in ...

Calling 4bet shove with QQ Surprised you were allowed to raise the all in bet, as its smaller than a full raise. In any case, getting it in with these stacks is easily the best play, especially given how loose the CO player was. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Raoeoiku Aug 9th, 2010

Full Tilt Late Reg ?? It's not a cash game that you're late registering for, its a tourney. On the first hand of a tourney, only 1 player per table has to post a bb, and the rest other than the sb get a free hand. The only times where it will even matter is in tourneys with terrible structures, in which case this problem can be solved by simply ending late registration earlier (or not allowing it for those types of tourneys). As a result, there is no good reason whatsoever to have to wait for the bb to start play in a tourney. Players have no choice when to move tables, unlike cash. So they simply can't take ...

Interest Live tourney hand..what to do?? It would be incredibly difficult to give the 2 players ranges where you should fold this. Unless you have a strong reason to believe one of them is calling all that early preflop action with KQ disproportionately and unusually high amount of the time (such as you know they ALWAYS play KQ or they accidentally flashed their hand), you pretty much have to call here. Other than the rare times one has KQ, you'll basically always be getting the right odds to play. You'll need some luck, but that's just part of the game. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Raoeoiku Jun 22nd, 2010
Some hands pretty deep in Mid Mad Yeah, call the first, call or reraise the 2nd. Either way you shouldn't be folding the AQs at any point. Posted in: Poker Discussion	Raoeoiku Jun 13th, 2010
