Re:Anybody know where i can get a good deal on a new fridge?? craigslist The fridge that I had in my garage broke and I was looking for a new one on the cheap. I was ready to pay $450 for a halfway decent fridge when my wife found a nicer one on craigslist for $50. It looked brand new, the guy decided to remodel his kitchen and change everyone over to chrome applicances, so he was getting rid of his appliances. A lot of the stuff on the site is crap, but every once in a while you'll find a gem. Posted in: Off Topic |

Re:Tough Spot for QQ. What to do on the flop? I think this is a pretty easy spot actually. When you have QQ and less than 12 BB's, you are going to get it all in no matter what comes down. That K shouldn't scare you, push it in, if his has a K, then that is just unlucky. You don't have enough chips to fold here. Posted in: Poker Discussion |

Re:In tough spot with pocket 10s I gotta disagree. Folding TT with less than 20BB's is not a good play. I think the way you played it is perfect. Even if you miss, you should shove. This makes it so that the most likely cards against you (overcards) will only get 3 cards to beat your made hand instead of 5. Posted in: Poker Discussion |

Re:live hand i can't get out of my head Just a couple of thoughts. I may get flamed for this, but anyway..... Yes, you only have 15BB's, but you are second in chips and there are a couple with less than 1 BB, so you are short in one sense, but certainly not desparately short. It's not like you are in the middle stages of a huge MTT where 15 BB's is a total push/fold situation. With the blind levels and stack sizes, I would think that raising over 3 BB's (about 25% of your stack is a huge mistake). Why put that high a percentage of your stack in and give the BB a reason to think maybe he could flop big or even ... Posted in: Poker Discussion |

Re:Logical Fallacies (Todays Philosophical Topic) How do you know that is a fallacy' Unless there is some kind of test that you can conduct on that, then you really can't say it's a fallacy. Here is a true to life example: Ice cream sales and Murder rates in cities have a positive corelation. Meaning that as one goes up the other does too, and as one goes down the other follows. Of course, the true reason is that crime raises with heat and so does ice cream sales. Posted in: Off Topic |

Re:Stud hi/lo hand (HH typed out properly) You could be in a very unfortunate spot where you are caught between two hands that beat you and they just keep raising and raising. Since this is early in the tourney and it's micro stakes, you really can't fold to the guy representing low. If this was a cash game, I'd probably consider folding if I thought this was going to go to three bets because your low is really rough. BTW, you didn't ask, but your first three cards were probably not worth calling a raise with because it is really pretty shittly for a Stud Hi/Low hand. Just about no chance for high and drawing really ... Posted in: Poker Discussion |

Re:KK vs 55 Folding here pre-flop is a super weak play. The stacks was well deep enough for this to be a profitable play for pure set mining. Posted in: Poker Discussion |

Re:Please some input ... Is this +EV or am i making donkey shoves ? You shoved in this spot' I don't like it. You say he is super aggressive because he raised big and showed down AK twice and AJ once, and now you want to shove with A8s. Even if he is raises really wide, he won't be far behind you if he calls. I think you are just asking for trouble getting involved with this hand in this spot. Posted in: Poker Discussion |

Re:Can I not call? After he called you on the turn with no draws on the board, I would have figured him to have a T. I would have checked the river to try to keep the pot small. If he bet a few hundred on the river, I would have made a crying call, but certainly not call an all-in. By betting on the river such a small amount, you made it impossible to really know if he had something on the river or if he was making a move. Slowing down after the turn would have been best.

Re:No Limit 2-7 Hand I'll start by saying that I only play triple draw when I play 2-7 lowball, but I don't think that really matters. Here are my thoughts.... I'm not sure how good a hand you need to have at a one draw 8 person table, but I'll assume that the minimum hand that you would raise against two people and stand pat with would be a J*. After the draw, he bets out and your hand is certainly strong enough to call him, but I don't like the raise at all. I don't think you'll get a call from anyone with a worst hand than yours (Maybe a T*, but I don't know). At the same ... Posted in: Poker Discussion |

Re:How to win one bet with quads, or: Why quads is a gift and a curse. Here is what I try to do. Maybe it will help on the rare occassions that you flop rediculously huge. If the board has draws, I'll check like you did and hope somebody hits something. On a flop like this that is bone dry, I'll bet out. Hopeing that someone thinks that no one would bet this flop if they hit trips. Sometimes is works, sometimes not, but at least I have a plan. Posted in: Poker Discussion |

Re:Help. Please, actually help. I think this list of rules is very good, except for #5. I think maybe you phrased it wrong, but to say that 'bluffing is a very minor part of playing NLHE' is very untrue. Maybe you meant to say, kamakaze all-in bluffs with nothing but A high is a very minor part of NLHE. Posted in: Poker Discussion |

Re:did i screw this up? I think your raise was a bad play. You have Kk heads up against a random hand and you only have 9 BBs. I think you should realize that you are all in on this hand no matter what. There is no way you are folding KK with 9 BB's. So, I'd find a way, anyway, to get him to get all his chips in the middle. Just winning the blind is a waste of such a powerful hand. I'd raise 1X and I'd plan my raises on each street to keep him coming along until all my money got in the pot. Seriously, you have 9 BB's, why are you worried about giving someone proper odds to draw out on you' ... Posted in: Poker Discussion |

Re:Constructive Criticism Please I have to strongly disagree with anyone telling you to fold. Let's look at the facts: 1.) This is a blind vs blind situation, and he makes it 4X the BB. I very often look close when someone raises and it's not 3X or 2.5 X the BB. Why so large' Many times it's because they don't want a call. When a SB makes it 4X against that BB, it is very likely that he is on a steal. 2.) You are not very deep stacked, you can't afford to give up good made hands. 3.) The arguement that there are smaller stacks so you should fold is just p*ssy talk. Really, are you trying to win this ... Posted in: Poker Discussion |

Re:Live Hand that I may have overplayed I appreciate your argument. If the difference between 4th and 3rd is significant to you, then playing for 3rd and possibly second is a fine track to take. My personal preference is to try to win at all times. The difference between $90 and $125 is not big enough for me to give up any chance at moving up to 1st or 2nd. Let me ask you this.... If the touney only paid 2 places, what would your calling range be for the BB' $90 dollars and $125 is pretty much the same thing. Going from $90 to $240 or $350 is a 3 to 4 times difference.

Re:Live Hand that I may have overplayed Sure, I'll give you my reasoning. The SB is a non factor. If he wins and you come in second in the hand, you still add plenty to your stack and cripple the other player. If you and the SB lose, then you still get third place money. You could even say that you are increasing the chance that he loses and you move up the ladder by calling and making the SB beat two players with a random holding. Now your analysis is a good demonstation of ICM. It's very applicable to SNG's, because those are small tournaments that very often come down to a few people and you make your money in ...

Re:Call because of pot odds or fold? Flat calling here is an excellent way to spew chips. How can you really turn calling here into a +EV play' Let's look at the possible arguments that someone can use to justify a play like this... 1.) "The guy has been getting involved in a number of pots and I was in position, so I decided to take a flop and maybe outplay him" - You are out of position, so you can't use this argument 2.) "I was so deep stacked compared to the blinds, that I thought the implied odds to hitting a miracle flop made the call justified" - You only have about 23 BB's, definately ...

Re:Live Hand that I may have overplayed I think your shove is fine. I also think that the BB should have a huge calling range here. You say he only has 7 BB's and you have about 8. If I was in the BB, I'd know that your range is wide, also if the BB folds, he'll have only 6 BB's left and he isn't likely to be able to steal from the big stack, so anything decent at all has to call you. I'd call in this spot as the BB with any A. Any suited or unsuited connectors or one gap suited connectors, or just a couple face cards Seriously, this range is rediculous, but there is no way he can expect to have any fold ...

Re:how to reign in your anger at various beats on the felt!! You are probably a great guy using a little tongue-in-cheek humor, but you sound like an @sshole. Really, it's just a game. You'll take bad beats, get over it. When you start letting it affect your personal life, you've crossed the line. Also, in the live game, when you go nuts on someone, they don't feel bad, and after you leave the whole table makes fun of you. Like I said, you are probably a good guy. I'm just trying to let you see that type a person that you appear to be when you fly off the handle over a card game. Posted in: Bad Beats |

Re:Knocked Out Early Before I start, I will admit that I don't play tournaments with buy-ins this large, but I will still give my two cents. The only part of the hand that I would have played differently is pre-flop. At the point he raised, you had 100 BB's or so. Yes, your hand was definately ahead of his range for raising on the button, but there are still plenty of hands in his range that have you beat. By 3 betting his initial raise out of position, you are pretty much locking yourself into committing at least 400 more chips to this hand after the flop. I say that because, if you had missed, you ... Posted in: Poker Discussion |

Re:Weird hand in live tournament w $70 buy in Just some food for thought. 1.) Pre-flop - If you had a read on this guy as someone willing to raise with a wide range of hands, then you can't flat call his raise leaving yourself with just 10 BB's. If you think you are ahead, you need to push and get that money and some respect from a guy that thinks he can steal your blinds. In addition, you have a good hand, but not a made one. You want to see all five cards. By flat calling, you give him a chance to push you out of the hand by betting the flop. If no Ace comes on the flop, it would be tough to call off all your chips. 2.)
