You know how I know you play poker with one hand?

Bumping for posterity,After switching from UB to AP for a month I found UB > AP; the bonus dollars clear slower at AP, with a point system based on a .50 cent rake instead of number of hands played, you're clearing 5$ every 3 hours four tabling .25/50 full handed. Increasing member status is at least 5 to 10 times as slow at AP as it is on UB, with a point system based on 4$ wagers instead of number of hands played. AP has a 500$ minimum ARP cash out compared to UB's 25$ minimum U{ cash out. Granted AP's 3,000$ max ARP cash out is higher than UB's 1,000$ max UP cash out and has a 1 cent hig

Please tell me the last time a Conservative was killed for his political views as opposed to the last time a homosexual was killed for his sexual orientation? When people start committing hate crimes against Conservatives, then you'll have something to actually validate your opinion.

Carter was a Nuclear Engineer for the US Navy, you fail.

It was and is common knowledge in civilian/military intelligence agencies that Iraq did not and does not have weapons of mass destruction, the case was built on German intelligence gathered from a man seeking asylum from Iraq, reported to interpol and then dismissed by intelligence experts. The testimony was then reopened, reexamined and "spun" in order to support Bush's personal decision to violate international law by invading a sovereign with out due cause.I've been a U.S. Army Military Intelligence Officer since 9/11, and I 100% guarantee you that not only was there no evidence to support

True, but following that logic, a feeler bet attached to a set etc. isn't that bad for inducing a bluff.

Did BB flat the min re-raise with another PP? I think I fire the turn just to be certain the 4 flush doesn't get there. I don't believe a good Ace would have flat called the min re-raise over isolating PF there, but if he did, and if he calls or re-raises the bet, then it's an easy check/fold or fold on the river for me.

Light bathroom reading

About 1/3 of the pot, tho' I'd rather just fold or donk/check raise with a marginal holding against a wide range OOP most of the time.

With all of the Rakeback sites out there, is there a consensus on which ones are the most reliable/trustworthy?

If you weren't in the small blind, I'd fold this, but as it stands he could be seriously under valuing your hand.

Creative license, I wanted to see what other people's ranges were and what they would have done if it didn't result in 3 AIs on the flop. Once I shoved the button's raise the BB's flat call was "unexpected," and it superficially created the pot odds to justify my shove and the button's call in retrospect. That's the reason I was drawing more attention to the "what if the SB calls or shoves" scenarios, I felt I needed to isolate with 2 pair and didn't want the SB to complicate matters, and it's also the reason I think calling in this position to check it on the turn is just out of the question.

From Ed MillerThe Small and Medium Pocket PairsLet’s talk about the small and medium pairs for a moment. Playing these hands does two things for you: 1. It balances your hand range so you don’t always have big cards when you play up front. 2. It allows you to flop sets and win big pots occasionally.Above, I recommended that against weak players you make big raises with your big early position hands. What about the small and medium pairs? You don’t want a huge pot with a small pair, since usually you’ll fold on the flop. So you don’t want a huge raise either. But you might want to make a sm

In retrospect, that's the line I wish I'd taken, but it just felt so weak tight. Final handSmall blind calls and reveals A of spades and 8 of clubsBig blind calls and reveals K of spades and Q of clubsSpade hits the river.

Ok, how do you flat call this? If the BB flat calls behind you, what's your plan on the turn? 285$ is in the pot, I'm forfeited against 12 outs, and any move at the pot gives us all the odds to call to the river.Do you not at least re-raise here to chase out the SB?

I have the 87 for 2 pair, so that discounts a set, and even if the opponent does show up with a set he has to think about folding it to a flopped flush. After the big blind called, I put him on at least one spade, when the button re-raised I thought he was either holding the A of spades, protecting top pair or at worst had a higher pair + spade (limped AA on the button with an A of spades or KQ/QJ/QT with a spade kicker).If I re-raise, I'm pot committed to a shove, and if he shoves it's even a stronger indications of a draw/combo draw. I just decided to shove first in order to be certain the b

I'd either fold or shove the flop, it's too expensive/transparent to just call along and there's a good chance to either triple up or not care about losing 3 dollars at those stakes.

I'm not certain whether or not this belongs in GS or BB, but do we ever fold under sets when our opponents shove our re-raises, or are we stacking 100% of the time? I just stacked 4 times in a row with 555 when I "knew" the opponent had a set, but folding a set is "verboten" according to Harrington, so I just felted and ate it.Instincts > Math, or should I just keep shoveling?

It's not a bad idea, at micro stakes people are limping with AXs and Arag all the time, so AJ and AT should be above their range.

It's diminimus tho', at those stakes it's better to set a budget than manage a bankroll. If he's serious about it, he should just deposit 500 into AP, start .10/.25 and clear bonuses/earn points at the least.

Sarcasm 4TW, good lord .01/.02 bank roll management?

Preflop tells aside, who would shove a set here? It's like saying "I hate value."

It's just a donk with AA,You have the odds to call in this position, but if the opponent were deep stacked under the same circumstances, then I would shove this flop on him. You do not call 3bets with suited connectors pre-flop and then fold combo draws on the flop ever, you must shove a 12 outer on them for the folding equity/coin flip here. 15 outers and pair + draw are more flexible, since both of them have the odds to call a pot sized bet on the turn, but playing suited connectors in a 3bet pot and then folding a combo draw on the flop is pointless, since this is exactly what you were hopi
