I've just been doing the school/working thing. And since I play so little poker these days, I don't trust myself to post about much. But I'm still reading the forums, and one of these days I'll put some effort into playing.

I'm surprised I'm responding to this and feel bad for helping take this thread further off course, but...Boy Meets World?

Am I the only person here who's seen Shark Attack 3? I'm going to assume I am since nobody has mentioned it. There's really no question that it's the worst movie ever.Also Waterworld. Terrible.

You bring up a valid point. And now that it's mentioned, I probably should've kept posting despite not playing much in an effort to keep my game sharp. Ah well, live and learn. Hopefully I'll have more time for posting now, though.

I'm just one of those guys who got caught up in the glamorous, high profile world of low limit sit 'n go's. I just got too wrapped up in that scene, spent a few months living in Cory Feldman's basement, got addicted to coke, went to rehab...same old story.In other words, just took some time off from any significant playing time, but now I'm hoping to get back into the game.

I say limping there is good. If you've got one limper that's as bad as these three limpers, then you're good to raise, more for isolation. Like Actuary said, though, here it's good to play for implied odds.

It's been a long time since I've posted, much less played limit hold 'em, but I'm gonna try and get back into the swing of both of those things, and I'm going to start here. In other words, take this with a lot of grains of salt.With that much action preflop, I don't think there's any way we can possibly fold here getting 7:1 or whatever it was to call two more. Sure it's likely someone has JJ-AA, but if that person can't get away from said JJ-AA if we flop a ten, we're golden. And as far as I'm concerned, at that point we're playing mostly for set value/implied odds anyway.Beyond that comm

Nice work! You were the one to beat for so much of the final table. Way to take control!

I think Scott Huff is quite a good host. He knows enough about poker to ask fairly decent questions, but knows he doesn't know enough to try to give expert analysis. He's also been covering the tournament trail for long enough that he knows most of the players (or more importantly, they know him) so they answer honestly and without altering their personalities.And frankly, I appreciate him as a host all the more after listening to Joe Average Poker (not to be hypercritical of a free product/service or anything...)Also, ditto on the Haralabos Voulgaris episode. I missed that one when it was

Try giving yourself a routine for each action. If you make it really scripted as far as what you do physically when it's your turn to act, every move should start feel connected to every other move, if that makse sense.

Technically thepiratebay got pwned by the Swedish government, which subsequently got re-pwned by thepiratebay. If you're looking for a good read, check out the "legal" link at the bottom of thepiratebay's main site.

Did anyone else get the impression that Bashir tried to paint Calvin Ayre as an internet age Pablo Escobar?

It's much lamer if you have Pomp and Circumstance going through your head when you read it. :DStill valid, though, don't get me wrong.

In case you haven't found the sites for GameTime+/PokerAce, they are:http://www.pokerdominion.com (GameTime+)http://www.pokeracesoftware.com (PokerAceHUD)Sorry if that's too redundant.

Part of my problem with the whole winning session % theory is that in limit it tends to be more difficult to wrestle your way out of a hole. People tend to notice when someone is down 15 big bets or something and are more apt to come after you, figuring some amount of tilt/all around frustration. Add to that the anonymity of the internet (ie, they don't have to worry about looking someone in the eye after a play similar to the one you suggested), as well as the fact that some see any hand as a drawing hand and each street as being just one more bet. These factors combined can often make a l

You're getting huge odds, but are they good enough to hit the flop as hard as you'd need to to continue?

Sorry, I forgot the o in .com, but Zach got the link right. I bow to his superiority.

I swear I only post when pointing out converters...Anyway, the one at http://www.neildewhurst.cm/hand-converter claims to be Absolute friendly. I have no HHs to test that, but it's worth a shot.As far as the hand goes, I psychologically have a problem with calling 3 bets cold, personally. That and tens are the hand that's hardest for me to play. So, those things being the case, I probably just dump them preflop knowing that I play them so poorly. If you can outplay your opponents though, and if you would get good value out of a set if you hit from this table, preflop is closer.Sorry I adde

What he said.

Downloading them is sure illegal, but burning them to a DVD and selling them is taking it to an entirely different level.

Unless you're thinking of a legal purchase that is distributed through a PDF or something (which I can't imagine any sell the 2+2 books), just buy it. Amazon.com always has fairly good prices. It's definitely worth actually owning, and 2+2 is a company worth supporting financially. Besides, isn't there something to be said for a nice, well-worn book?

No problem!

I call down there most likely, though I don't think you can be faulted for going with a read if it's strong enough.Also, it should be noted that when you have an overpair to the board, oftentimes what people are betting because they have "the goods" loses to your overpair.Also, as someone else pointed out, when there hasn't been any action, it's not usually called a raise, but rather bet. Not a big issue, but it can throw off some quick analysis sometimes.

Not to cramp any style, but that's Actuary's way of saying "You couldn't possibly have open limped in MP with pocket tens. So it must be a typo."That's the only problem I see with it. Beyond that that's pretty much how I roll with that kind of hand.
