  1. Re: Tough Spot...or not...Part 2 I don't play cash but I could easily put both of them on a draw. The big stack would probably call if he had a set. He's trying to isolate with his big all-in and does not want your call. I think you are probably ahead of the big stack and should therefore call, you would be playing a bigger pot against him than against the small stack.

  2. Re: ** Poker Sunday 4th January ** I managed to satellite into the Pacific/888 $100,000 deep stack challenge (normally $130+10 buy-in). Has 10,000 chips and 20 minutes blinds. And I am only used to short stack tournament poker - will be quite a change!! :drums<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

  3. Re: A message to the PL XMAS Freeroll players I do not play that much and therefore a league is not appealing to me. I would rather play "one-off" value added events. Having a family means I can generally only play one evening per week and that's not always the same weekday. But I really enjoy the forums here and try to make a contribution, hope to join in PL exclusive events.

  4. Re: Daily MTT Winnings for December 2008 Sorry no screenshot so I do not know whether this counts, it's a knockout tournament on Full Tilt:

  5. Re: 46 tables at once I use tiling on a single monitor and 4 is quite manageable (MTTs or SNGs). I guess I could go up to 6 tables if I had a larger monitor but I think I would miss the action sometimes when it is on me. However I don't use any keyboard shortcuts or AHKs. 43/46 however is quite mad :dude

  6. Re: Trillion GTY's now with more added value Yes AvonGirl, I visited the Poker Trillion website and came to the same conclusion, the 5k replaced by a 4k gty and is a rebuy. Probably little overlay, but very decent overlay in the Sunday 10k GTD it seems.

  7. Re: Trillion GTY's now with more added value Sorry to bring up an old thread but this is linked to in the daily thread. It says there that this is a rebuy but this thread talks about a freezeout. As I don't have a Trillion account yet, can anyone tell me which this is?

  8. Re: Raising on the Button (and firing back) There is a great discussion in Moshman's SNG book about stealing and restealing. The restealing discussion applies very well also to MTTs. In short, my interpretation is that you need to estimate if the raiser is stealing or raising for value. This can be estimated by two things: a) is the raiser passive or aggressive

    • a passive raiser is almost always raising for value (they would limp if the have a mediocre hand)
    • an aggressive raiser could both be stealing and raising for value
    b) in which position is the raiser
    • the later the position of an aggressive raiser the more likely he is to be stealing
    • a raise from early position is almost always for value

    By using this it is possible to "estimate" if the raise is a steal raise or a value raise. No exact science of course. I know the original question concerned only raises from the button but this is a great topic and I wanted to be more general.
