I would definately get vol. 1 and 2 and read them in order. I haven't had a chance to check out vol. 3 yet so have no idea on that one yet.

I think you played it correctly. You bet when you either thought you were ahead or could take the pot down. It's not often that an under pair is going to call on the river with all the over cards, so imo on the river the only call you will get is one that has you beat 95% of the time, so I think you are saving a bet 95% of the time.

Not a very good example you have there. You are talking about something that two people own that is different that use the exact same service. The service I mentioned for the GSN show is NOT the same service that any regular player gets at their local Casino.I deal poker for a living and have play/ed different games at different levels at different times at different places and they all do not tip the same.When I deal 4/8 vs. 4/8 kill vs. 10/20 I average different amounts based on the type of game. Now I am not saying that because this is a super high level game where a pot could be over a 100

Tipping $5 after any pot is huge as I would love to get that after each hand I deal. A few things on this that I would think though are that, I doubt the dealer is locked in for an hour in this game, probably two dealers rotating every 30 minutes plus I think it would be impossible to get 40 hands per hour in this game. I would think in this game that 30-34 hands per hour would be closer to the thruth, with it being closer to 30 for several reasons.So 15 hand per your 30 mins ( so if they do actually make on average of $5 per hand, that is still $75 per hour plus your hourly minimum wage.

Actually I would think you are wrong in this situation. In this GSN game, there are several things that either are/or I would think of these players getting special treatment compared to your average player at the 3/6 limit game or 1/2 NL game.1) A private/secure room to play in.2) Hopefully a better/seasoned dealer who will make less mistakes and know how to deal all types of games which is what they normally play in the big game.3) 4 or 5 servers/women dress up to wait on ONE table.4) a floor person to worry about just ONE table.So their poker game could be a little different than your avera

Wow, glad this thread got bumped, I remember reading it back when it was started. I must admit when this thread was originally started that I thought I would never fold KK preflop in a cash game, but I know for a fact now, that although it is very rare, maybe once or twice a year there are situations where I would fold KK.I can't remember who posted it now, but I recall somebody saying their read was that the other player had AA, but they still wouldn't fold KK preflop. I just don't get this statement. If this is your read based on the information that you have then you have to go with your re

The info is still good from the point of giving you ideas of what things to look for and the info is right on when playing against novices.Now when playing against better players, you really have to decide what this info means, and some of it could be outdated as far as that goes.

Thanks man!

I know there was a post with links to this earlier, but can't seem to find them now, but does anybody have a link to strategy and starting hand guide for 6 handed play or less on low limits?

I look at it this way, if a book can help you with one single thing in your game, it's worth it.

Yep, it was surprising that is had some good points for a WPT that weren't already done 100 times over. I do think that you can get a few points that will help anybody in NL cash games. I had been strictly NL tourneys and some limit/spread for my cash games. I had only played NL cash games about 10 times, but after my last trip to Reno, I really wanted to start playing them more. His book definately helped me with a few problems of things that happened to me in my previous NL cash games.

Pretty good book, I would recommend it if you are a NL cash game player. IT does give a few tips that will help your game that aren't in NL tourney books.

I will just play the $500 or lower events unless I do really well there. Not sure of the tourney structure just yet, calling today to find out.

Any FCPers going to be at the tourney this month? Would like to meet a few of you if so.

Yep, very good! I wouldn't say it's better than HOH, but is a definate buy if you play NL tourneys. It most definately can help your game.Blair and Lee have a forum listed in the book, where they are very active in responding to questions on play in the book and how to use them in play.The book helped me with my biggest weakness of not being aggressive enough. It has 4 different levels of the style they teach, if you can use the level 3 and 4 styles where you use longball tactics and small ball both successfully, you can be a very dangerous player at the table.Hoyt Corkins is probably the most

Point is, that stack size can intimidate some players, why not use that advantage. It's the opposite of say you lose some and are down to a few BB, players tend to try and push you around as they know you are either scared money, or your stack can only hurt them but so much.

I know, hope you understand that I was doing the same.

I would buy in for the highest amount that I am willing to lose in one session.Not that it would affect many people, but online players may possibly think you are a good player if you have a larger amount than the average at the table.If you buy in for the minimum, some of the time it seems players think you are playing on scared money.

Actually it's not a brag post, so keep your day job. Just started playing limit a few weeks ago, been strictly NL before that. It is a question about limit, so since there are no real guidelines of it needing to be posted in "general", then this seems like the most logical place to post the questions, as this is where most limit players will frequent for a limit question.For a question/topic that doesn't interest you, you have found the strength to reply several times.

Hey, you are the one working for the "Psychic Friends Network", you should know! Now I have to do your job that you are bored with! :wink:

It is a limit question!But thanks for pointing that out.why don't you just post what you did that last hour and get this over with...40?who cares about one hour, it's so arbitrary.Maybe that is not my intent, but I am glad you are wasting your time replying.

wrong answer.thanks for playing.OP, I think Chuck Norris made a brazillion big bets at the 4K/8K bellagio game in one hand.Brazillion with a "B", excellent!Can you let me know how many zero's that would be?

It is a limit question!But thanks for pointing that out.

I was wondering what's the most big bets anybody has earned in one hour online at a single table?

Thx, and totally agree about the aggression part. Thx for giving general thoughts on blind play. Making a few notes now and adjusting them vs. the type of player/game I am in at the moment.
