RE: USA Online Poker - Ready to Beakout!!
The overall trend does seem favorable since Obama took office, but due to the division of federal and state responsibilities, there are still pockets where things don't look as good. The most recent example to come to mind is in Minnesota, where so ...

RE: Bankroll Management
The question is very broad - too broad to cover in a single forum post. So I'll just point out one thing I consider very important but that isn't stated explicitly all that often. A vital aspect of bankroll management is choosing your opponents so ...

RE: Picking off the Continuation Bet (with small pocket pairs) pretty good strategy!!!
Although there's a good amount of food for thought in the original post, I'm not overly fond of the sequence where you limp and then call a raise. If you're willing to call a raise, which will usually be by someone who has position on you, then why ...

RE: Heads-up strategy - 3 top tips?
Aggression is critical, although not necessarily easy. I continually battle a tendency to sit back and wait for cards even though I know that taking the lead is more productive overall since it offers two ways to win pots rather than just one.

RE: How to manage his bankroll
It's not difficult to find reasonable bankroll guidelines. Basically, they all tell you to limit how much you put at risk at any given table or in any particular tournament. And they're not complex. The part that people find difficult is havi ...

RE: Pretty funny High stakes poker hand 7-2of vs KK guess who wins??
There's another hand - I think it's in the same episode but nit 100% sure - where they're still doing the $500 thing, and a guy who tries to win the additional $3500 ends up losing a pot of more than $100,000 I'd be interested to know how often ...

RE: Worse players get all the best hands
Bad players getting better hands is riduculously unlikely over the long run. Just because you got five royals early in your playing time is no reason whatsoever to expect this to continue. On average, they happen once in every X hands, with X bein ...

RE: strategies of poker gaming
A lot depends on the level of your opponents. In micro ring games, for example, there are plenty of people who out-think themselves by trying to make strategic plays against opponents who don't know enough for the plays to work very well. A very s ...

RE: Why Play Poker
Poker, whether online or in casinos, is negative EV for the players as a whole due to rake and tournament fees. However, individual players can have positive EV over the long term by having sufficient advantages in ability over the opponents they p ...

RE: How to manage his bankroll
There are two major factors that determine what level you can comfortably play at. One is the size of your bankroll. And in this regard, I like the fact this article points out that bankroll guidelines can range from conservative to aggressive. T ...

RE: Merge rooms REVIEW
While there are different software packages available with somewhat different features, they don't make a huge difference to me unless they simply don't work well. What's more important is the individual site operators. In that regard, o ...

RE: How did Schwartz do it ?
It's probably easier to lay down a king-high flush when it's one with four on the board, and if I recall, that was what he had. Not easy necessarily, but easier. Also, since it was still quite early at the final table, he could have felt that losi ...

RE: Future of Online Poker technology
Security seems like the most obvious issue to me as well. Tech-wise, the immediate thought would be to preventing cheating via super-user accounts and other means that shouldn't be possible. However, I look at a fuller sense of the term security t ...

Re: Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet have to be the worst due to scandals right?
I continue to play at both sites for the simple reason that I continue to win money there, and have never had issues cashing out. I don't keep more than a couple of hundred on either , but I'm not in the habit of doing that anywhere. And ...

Re: To Much Poker Knowledge
I fully agree that many new players try to do too much too soon. They want to make the fancy plays right away, so they start doing so without building a solid game as a foundation. It's easy to fall into this trap since plays do work fai ...

Re: CDPoker Friday 13th June
Unfortunately, if someone wants to share passwords, three minutes is plenty of time to do so. While allow lists have some drawbacks, they are the only way I'm aware of to address this.

Re: how do you play heads up the tournament?
I generally don't have a pre-set plan to be either aggressive or passive. Instead, I try to adapt to my opponent. However, there are, as usual in poker, various exceptions. One rather obvious one is when I'm badly outchipped. ...

She was planning to be there, but got called for jury duty, so it's possible she simply isn't available to play yet. In the meantime, there are some photos of her - none in lingerie though - in this recent interview she did that's mostly about ...
