Re: MTT strategy with a big, but not dominant, stack Position is the most important thing, dont call raises out of the blinds just because you have the chips have a hand to back it up. Steal the blinds of people who dont have the stack to defend them but not off the stacks that are liable to shove same goes when your raise has to get through such a player again have a hand to back it up. If you dont feel confident loosening up then TAG is the way to play theres little to loose playing that way. A good figure to work out i find is how many players will be left when my current stack will be the average this way i can see how comfortable i am to achieve my goal of cashing thus how active i need to be.

Re: Maximum Tournament Equity
I dont believe there is a difference between being forced all in with a random hand because of high blinds' date=' or low blinds giving you the chance to play your way out of trouble (because you have no edge over your opponent)[/quote'] Thats true, all 4 scenarios are so unlikely to occur as you always likely to have an edge over a lot of the field. lol donkaments :rollin -
Re: Poker variants
:lol Back on subject with a good understanding of general poker theory most games are easy to pick up. I play in a couple of dealers choice cash games and find them to be pretty profitable, as people have no idea about what they're doing. A read of supersystem 2 is a good idea to pick up on some general strategy!there is a woman I know who lets me poker. -
Re: New Value Tournaments at Mansion
Surely you want to be looking for a good rakeback deal 1st?so it is the ''value'' of the tournaments that needs to be looked at. -
Re: Maximum Tournament Equity Usining Independent Chip Modeling calculations in every scenario your chips are worth 1% of the prize pool. This calculation doesnt take into account player ability but with your assumption that every player has equal ability every scenario you hold the same tournament equity. However scenario 1 is the best scenario to be in to increase your tournament equity, as there is the most play. In the other 3 your going to probably be forced to be all in if you want to play a hand.

Re: Would you play this differently? You can get the hand history from the client its self in graphical form, somewhere in the cashier.

Re: Pop Quiz (part XXXI) - Call, Raise, Shove or Fold Your move here is dependant on your read on the other player, weak leads into a pfr are often weak hands. If he's your average internet player I'd have him on a pp 77-99 or something like J8s could even have Q8 and have you dominated. Your action is either to push or fold as raising will probably commit you to a shove from toncker, calling is an option to reevaluate the turn but you leave yourself vunrable to the better player. The answer lies in whether you think that you can get your money in in a better spot or want to take a gamble with TPNK.

Re: How much to call with low-mid pair? Heres an article that i found on playing small pp's
The key to playing these hands are the implied odds, these are related to pot odds and include the odds that the pot will offer once all the betting rounds have taken place. Take a no-limit hold’em game with $1/$2 blinds for example, one player to your right with a $200 stack has raised 3x BB, your on the button for you to call your pot odds are 6 to 9, your calling $6 to win $9. Assuming the blinds fold your implied odds however can be anything up to 6 to 203 your calling $6 and you have the opportunity to win the rest of the raisers stack. However if your stack size is smaller than the raisers you can only win the amount of your sack. When it comes to playing small to medium pocket pairs you need to take into account table stack sizes, your position, the way the tables playing and the playing styles of the players involved. - The stack sizes of other players are very important, small-medium pocket pairs are played as drawing hands drawing to trips, boats or quads. The chances of your pair increasing trips on the flop is about 7.5 to 1 therefore in order to justify your call you need implied odds of more than 7.5 to 1. Using a $1/$2 NLH example, if you were just to call every time you would need to win at least $15 when you connect to break even, not taking into account when you are out drawn when u do connect. You therefore shouldn’t play these hands against people with short stacks, as they can’t offer you the correct implied odds to justify calling. - If you’re in late position you can observe how the majority of the table has played before you act. You can see what players are going to be involved in the pot and use that to choose your action. You can also use their actions post flop to size your bet or raise. - At a passive table where there is often not much raising pre-flop then your position becomes slightly less significant as the sandwich effect doesn’t come into play as its less likely that someone is going to raise. - The playing styles of players involved is important in your decision making, ideally you want to be playing the pot against a player that is loose aggressive post flop as they will be more likely to offer you the implied odds that you need. The action that you take pre-flop is dependant upon the risk that you wish to take. Bigger pre-flop pots usually equal bigger post-flop pots, if you were to limp every time and be up against 3 or 4 players then the pre-flop pot in a $1/$2 NLH game would be $8-$10 with a post flop pot of about $20-$25. Where as if you were to raise 4xBB and get 1 or 2 callers the pot would be $16-$24 with a post flop pot of around $32-$48. Therefore raising pre-flop increases your risk but increases your reward. -
Re: PL Omaha help Theres a section on PLO in supersystem 2, I've also been recommended this book, Secrets of Professional Pot-Limit Omaha: How to Win Big, Both Live and Online by Rolf Slotboom

Re: how to play overpairs or top pair
Quality bit of advice, NLH is all about position position position.But hopefully you will be in position. -
Re: Poker Novice Questions PokerStars is the place to be, games start pratically instantally and the player base is so large that you'll rarely find yourself up against the same opponents. Personally i dont think that the turbos are crapshoots, as long as you have a good push fold strategy you have a massive edge against the average internet fish.

Re: how to play overpairs or top pair
Don't get all in with TPTK unless against a complete donk, more times than not your going to be going in behind! A good bit of advice that i was given was to think what the other guy is going to get all in with that i have beat this is where player reads are important. I'll go broke with any set on the flop even if its all of one suit, you still have a 35ish% equity if the vilan has a flopped flush, set over set is uncommon. At micro stakes im also going 2 try to get it in with trips, still this is read dependant, and to certain players i may consider folding Get youself onto a site that works with poker tracker and get yourself a copy of PokerACE hud once your used to it you'll see a great improvment in you game and giving opponents hand ranges will become a lot easier. Another suggesion would be to get yourself some litterature on poker, supersystem has a good section on NLH cash all be it a bit of an aggressive system! Also look at flop textures a Q27r flop is a lot less dangerous than a QhJs7h, on the latter if i've raised with AK pf i may save my cbet for the turn when a non scare card comes.any other comments? I really need to learn this because I always get stacked at ring games because of TPTK.
