This is the wrong way to play NLHE in my opinion. You lose a ton of value when he checks behind you on the turn, you make your flush on the river and he folds to your bet. AK is the only hand you're really worried about here and even then you have up to 12 immediate outs. If he has a set, you have fewer, but get your money in the middle.Re-raise.

Yes. I, too, love live poker.

That's my approach and I'm pretty happy with it, regardless of results. Doesn't make sense to fold KK ever in 6max to me but I at least wanted to talk to other poker players about it.But, out of curiousity, how many hands did you play in this January-February stretch? You only got KK 12 times? It doesn't sound to me like you were playing very many hands.I don't really know a lot of the posters here, but what is your poker background/experience/stakes(former and current)? Just would like to know who this advice is coming from....not doubting at all! I completely agree with your assessment.

That's been my play every time and I assume that's the right thing to do. I've been getting shown AA a lot, but I figure I'll have my times when I'm holding the AA , so this situation will usually even itself out.No debate? Shove ever example?

If stacks are 100BBs deep, is your intention to always get it AIPF with KK?Why, or why not?Examples:$25 stacksHero raises UTG with KsKc to $1.00CO Raises to $3.45Hero Raises to $11CO Raises All InHero????$25 StacksUTG raises to $1.00Hero raises from button with KsKc to $4UTG re-raises to $15.50Hero ??????$25 StacksHero raises UTG with KsKc to $1.00UTG+2 calls $1.00CO re-raises to $4Hero re-raises to $13UTG+2 re-raises all inCO calls All inHero ?????

At a 6 max NLHE game, assuming the Hero holds KK, what is the likelihood that one of five villains holds AA?Taking the two Kings out of the deck, I assume it's somewhere around 3-5% of the time, possibly a little higher. Is this about correct?In an online cash game, where all stacks are roughly 100BBs, is your intention to always get it all-in preflop with KK regardless of prior action?

Here are my recomendations for playing a spread limit game:Always bet the maximum. Do not let the strength of your hand determine your bet size. This sort of game is full of valuable information. The weaker players will usually bet small with their draws, and the max with their made hands. Use this to your advantage when drawing. GL.Tell us how it goes?

You're on the right track. Play your good hands and play them hard. Unlike NLHE, LimitHE is a drawing game; you should be drawing to your nut flush and nut straight draws, when the pot size calls for it I highly recommend reading Sklansky's SSHE. This has all been said before...blah blah blahI think one of the most important aspects of playing small stakes LHE online is table selection. Look for a table with a high % of players seeing the flop without a huge average pot size. This is a flag for many loose-passive players, aka, calling stations, aka, exactly who you want to play LHE again

Why don't Pokerstars and Full Tilt offer even more (high stakes) tables?I recently read a blog written by Brian Townsend (sbrugby at FTP) saying how much he hates capped NLHE games, talking specifically about the 500/1000 CAP NL game on FTP. He also mentioned that he would be willing to play that high with no cap. I'm sure other players would also be willing to play that high. Also, the 1k/2k HORSE game on FTP consistently draws a number of well-known high stakes pros who often play even higher than that (live).Why wouldn't FTP offer even higher stakes mixed games, no limit games, etc.I jus

So sick. Definitely should be turning pro within the month.

When playing 3-6, I usually buy in for a rack, prepared to buy in for another. In a typical limit hold em game, you should probably not continue if you lose 30 big bets, so, for 3-6, that would be $180. When playing 3chip/6chip games, a lot of good players like to buy in for two racks. When others sit down at the table, they will assume the player is a tough, winning player.If you're talking online, which I actually now assume you are, buy in for 150$-200. Somewhere in there should be fine.Good luck to you.Tell us how it goes?

T.J. Cloutier looks at both his hold cards immediately after receiving the second one. I think most other pros first look at their hole cards when it's their turn to act.However, I've seen Phil Ivey peek at one card immediatley when he gets it, then look at both when the action is on him (on TV, not live).I don't think either way is going to make or break you, but I would suggest waiting until it's your turn to act to look at your hole cards and spend your time studying the other players. Also, if you don't look at your hold cards before the action's on you, it's impossible to give any inform

I think most of your ideas are worthwhile and worth implementing, except for two. I don't think they should show folded cards to highlght what they "missed" if they had played the hand, or rabbit cams. This is results oriented nonesense that just doesn't add anything to the game. Sure, Player X would have flopped a full house if he called the PF raise with his 94. Oh well. Rabbit cams should also not be used for the same reasons. However, one of the best things, directly from PAD, is showing what players are folding pre-flop. In any other show, you only see what cards the players are pl

It's back working now (2:35pm PST). I noticed they changed the backs of the FTP playing cards. Seems like they changed the look of the chips too. I'm playing on a new monitor though so maybe it's just that, but the edges on the chips look sharper and the amounts on the actual chips themselves look clearer. The face cards look different too, but, I might just be making things up at this point because this new monitor is really nice. What other (if any) changes are you noticing?And, if any of the ones I said are wrong, please feel free to tell me (nicely).GL everyone.Edit: Also seems like a

I think you're on the right track. When you're playing one single table, you're much more able to concentrate on the table dynamics and players; you know who to bluff, who to raise, who to fold to, etc. etc. Because of this extra knowledge, you're able to play a slightly wider range of hands and play them better. When you're multi-tabling, you're less able to gather information on all your opponents. You end up playing a more ABC game of poker, but, you did say you were winning. In my opinion, the ABC style of poker at more tables will win you more money than playing "perfectly" at one ta
