I don't like your preflop raise (what's your reasoning there?) and commiting that much money with KJo in general with just top pair. And I wouldn't be that sure of the flush draw just from reading the hand history. However if you are reasonably certain he's on a flush draw I think you played the hand about as good as it gets (maybe bet a little more on the turn). Until the river that is - trust in your read and fold! You gave him bad odds to draw, and winning money that way, now don't pay him off when he hits.

Yeah, don't check here. You likely have the best hand, but you don't want to give a free card. If one of the two other players has a ten or a flush draw, they are going to pay you off anyway - so bet it.

BB was 42VPIP/3.6PFR/2.2AF, but just 30 hands - so that's not really significantI'm just getting back into LHE right now, and I'm not completely sure what to do in such situations - how often is this a set as opposed to a worse two pair or even just top pair?

Thanks for a good laugh in the morning. A player who is so good he can profitably pass on 4:1 edges, amazing that we haven't seen you on tv many times already.

I simply cannot see Baldwin doing that, I think the author of the article has a bad memory and glorifies the past. Poker is just more accessible and "clean" than 30 years ago - I can say for sure, that at that time I wouldn't have played poker, and I think millions of others as well. Also, it seems the guy is playing scared in tournaments, the way he talks down on players taking risks. He probably isn't even a winning poker player and never was.

You overestimate the strength of your read here. AA is a possible holding of villain, but in my opinion, there is noone in the world who can correctly put villain on exactly AA no heart just from reading this hand history.Muck it! It is very unlikely that you have the best hand here, and you have nearly zero fold equity if villain isn't a total idiot (1800 more into a 7500 pot if my quick calculations aren't wrong). I mean, what do you beat here? AQ maybe, but not much else and villain won't fold anything...Plus: if you ask me, his flop bet looks strong rather than weak, I think he wants you t

That doesn't really solve my problem, although "problem" is a bit exaggerated, it is not a big thing. When multitabling, usually 4 tables, I like to sit at different positions at every table - lower left/lower right/upper left/upper right - because there is some overlap on my monitor (1680x1050 resolution). I could resize the tables, but I'm so used to the standard size, and I sometimes do other stuff on the free parts of my screen, watching tv or whatever.

^^^alright, I'll try that, thanks.

btw. maybe someone can answer that question (the pokerace forum is so overcrowded and I couldn't find anything there), and this thread was bascially finished after the first reply anyway, so it's not a hijack. ;)On Pokerstars you can move around your table position, is there a way to make PAHUD recognize this and display the stats accordingly?

He had a backdoor straight draw and two second pair draws on the flop - and on the turn he improved to a gutshot straight draw + he still has his pair draws. And on the river of course he has the 4th nut no-pair, so he has to call your bluff, also he's pot commited at that point.Well played, he just got unlucky - that's poker.

Don't hold your breath, Neteller is a shitty company through and through. I have had nothing but trouble with them - and I'm not even american...

Yeah, it is a one-time payment that brings you life-time support (which is very friendly and helpful btw) and updates to the newest version. It may sound like a lot to you, but it really is a very well done piece of software and compared to other computer programs it isn't expensive at all. Buy it rather sooner than later when you move up a bit and can afford to spend $55 (or just buy it from outside your poker BR).

The question wasn't whether or not Poker Tracker is useful at microstakes but whether or not it is profitable meaning: worth the price.IMO, a player who wants to win and/or improve his game should use Poker Tracker or a program similar to it at any level. You can get it "for free" (more or less) via pokersourceonline, but you probably have to play at least 1/2 LHE to be able to do that.

at least I made a screenshot, my thread is better. :DETA: his biggest mistake: inviting all you donks instead of just me to be "player of the week"!

lol, nice try, flattering. :Dand interesting touch with the faked spam-link at the bottom...

yes, it is actually possible - as mind boggling as it is...just google it, there are several different sites, you get ~$10/million

I haven't played one of these in months and I'd like to do some mildly degenerate gambling today. ;)Any interest within the next couple hours?

In my opinion there are only two reasonable options preflop for you (as played):- push- stop&goNeither folding preflop nor reevaluating on the flop appeals to me here. Yes, you are very much pot-commited.

Not that many people here who actually played in the ME I'd guess...

I don't like the preflop call for one reason (btw: why raise 5xBB?): If a flop comes that you don't "like", are you really going to check/fold, being left with a short stack in a tourney with an extremely fast structure?If you just call preflop, you have to push any flop, in my opinion -> stop&go! What if he has JJ and not AK and the flop comes AQ7?Obviously it worked out for you (I'm guessing you got all the money in the pot), but I think you just got lucky there. Please don't fold on the flop after putting 40% of your stack into the pot, especially in a tourney like that where you sim

You have to have earned 2000 FPPs on Pokerstars as far as I know (you don't need to have 2000 currently in your account)

Hehe, a standard chip shuffle really is easy - anyone who has one fully functional hand can learn how to do that in five minutes. ;)But the chips should always remain on the table and visible, I strongly agree with that.

That is a bet you can win very easily, even starting with just 1000 chips. I believe, that any real money poker with half a brain can do this if he puts some effort into it.To answer OPs question: There are some players who take playing with play money more seriously than others, so naturally they are better than the complete donks. But if there are any "great" players there - they will move to real money quickly in my opinion.

It's close, but I think on the bubble that is a fold - at least on the level I play. In a $100 STT villain's shoving range here is probably wider in this spot, so I don't know... Still AJ is a very very marginal calling hand here in my opinon.You've probably been outplaying him all tourney long and he's pissed now and doesn't want to play with you postflop. ;)I say: muck it and beat him later on.
