anyone who has ever read a forum for longer than a month has read 5 posts identical to yours. that is why you are met with hostility. it doesn't make sense for the online games to be rigged to cheat you. even if it did make sense then explain to me the hundreds of online pros? do they just have the system figured out?You will catch a few more bad beats online because people dont have to face their plays and can make dumb ones without feeling bad. That will account for a FEW at the smaller limits. Other than that you are experiencing the normal ups and downs of poker. You get more hands per hou

how good is this freepokerdb?i am currently using PT3 and its ok. My biggest porblem is I am running PLO as much as NLHE now. So i was wondering whether the PTO from PokerTracker is worth a sh*t or whether I could just use this as a free alternative. I am mainly in it for HUD and general graphs. I dont dive into the specific stats that much.

you either decide to push here or the river. a 3-bet doesnt leave you a pot size bet on the river and definitely commits you anyway. I think i like it here because of the flush and straight draws. plus, if your range on him is correct he wont fold on a shove here anyway.

any reads on the players?why only raise 3x here preflop?I think your bet size on the flop should be more 4.5, and 13 on the turn. You should be good here but I dont know these guys. What range do you think he can make this bet with? Would he slow play AA or KK this far? Takes an interesting player to do that. Would he call pre with a 2 or 4 in his hand? How often will he float your flop bet?This is entirely read dependant. There are fish at 50nl who will do this with a ten or any small pp. There are also aggressive players who will donk out with their missed flush draw. All that said I cant ev

I dont know if you will ever read this but the blog was definitely interesting Daniel. It reminds me of a book I always keep close for those times in life when things seem so cluttered. The Way of the Peaceful Warrior. If you get a chance check it out. I think it will attach itself to you like it did me. If you want I will even mail you my copy as long as you read it. - Levi

I think this is marginal at best. It really depends on how you play these. I mult-table up to 8 of these at a time and because of that once I have a stack your size I dont get involved with anything but premuim hands. you can fold to a win. here It may drag out the game a little but you are in absolutely no danger of not winning this one. I know it isn't a ton of chips to lose but what do you have to gain?just let this hand go and focus on another table.

why not shove this preflop?

and if i wish to share?

the most immediate need is to get some of them off my hard drive. the ability to share them would be nice, although i don't think my play is solid enough to be concerned with that immediately. (i can see enough holes in my play. i dont need someone else pointing them out yet! ha.)

Wasn't sure where to post this so it landed here. if there is some more appropriate place feel free to call me an idiot and direct me where to go.I have recently started recording some of my sessions online in order to review them. I am looking for a video file hosting site that will take these larger files (around 700mb). I tried google video but couldn't seem to get them to work. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. i am a noob when it comes to these video applications.

yes, much more aggression on the flop.

you essentially turned your hand into a bluff here. however, it is a pretty good bluff. you have shown a ton of strength by flatting that flop and then check raising that turn. unless he has a big hand or drawing a big draw i dont see getting a call here.

im giving one of them credit for a flush draw and the other credit for a hand like 89 or 910. the guy that flat check called all-in might have a four but why would the first guy shove a 4 here? even idiots dont want to scare players off with a set. i cant see folding this because i think you are ahead. i dont think you will be by the end of the hand, haha, but there is a ton of value in this pot.

a raise is a good play i agree with that one. i can't however imagine how this could ever be a fold. With our chip stack 500 chips is a sneeze and we are getting at least 9 to 1 on the call. not to mention the implied odds if we hit a set here with two players in the pot. i think calling the raise and folding on a bad flop has much more value here then an outright fold.

i think i call and play the flop cautious. there is an argument for a shove here given that he has played back at you prior, that it would be for his tournament life, and the fact that you don't want the BB to tag along if you can avoid it.The size of his raise bothers me. He is either effing with you, as many lag players will do in position, or he is holding a pretty big hand. This certainly looks like he wants the action.That is why i would lean towards a call here and hope for a good flop. also, i would lean towards a larger opening bet. i know most people go with the 2.5 BB preflop raise b

i call. maybe a bad call but I have seen QJ turned over on a hand like this FAR too many times, esp. at these levels.

me too

i think i would bet 5 or 6 on the flop because it is a very drawy board and if at all possible you want to take this one down right now. i am not sure how to play this one. it seems to me this is one of those way ahead or way behind scenarios. i don't really like shoving over his raise because a number of hands he could have limped here have us in bad shape. i kind of like the call here to see a turn. it is a pretty passive play but if it comes another straight card or a flush card it could save us a ton of money or scare him into checking it down. do you think he can make this raise w/ AJ? it

agree w/ most.on the first one i dont even consider not shoving. no raise to 300 or 350 or any of that because you need to fold out the Ace rag hands in there. Honestly this early you are happy w/ doubling up or taking the modest pot the way it is. You dont want to play 3 way against AQsuited and 89 suited.

i am a low stakes cash game player. between 25NL and 100NL (Depending on the site). Is there any of those video sites that you can recommend for these games? I have been making money pretty steady when i concentrate well. I still feel like I have a ton to learn though.
