man this laydown is sick....unless cardplayer isn't telling the whole story (4 to a flush on the board or something) i guess he put grinder on 7-8? yikes.Date / Time: 2006-01-31 14:36:00Title: Don Mullis Makes A Big LaydownLog: With a board of J-6-4-9-5, Don bets $50,000 into a pot of of around $250,000. Michael Mizrachi reraises $500,000 more. Mullis goes into the tank and finally calls the clock on himself (this seems to be the trend today). He finally lays down pocket jacks face-up. "The Grinder" mucks his cards and rakes the pot.

you've got 300 bb, so it looks sufficient. The general rule though is if you lose 100 bb ($200) move down a level to .5/1 and build back up to $600 before continuing at 1/2. Do this and you should be fine.

oops it's already been answered...damn you guys are fast

Since there is only one Ace remaining in the deck, the chances are pretty slim:On the flop: 6.25%On the turn: 2.08%On the river: 2.08%So the total chance of the Ace falling somewhere on the board is 10.42%Hope this helps....

I've been playing limit .5/1 for a while now, averaging a little over 5 bb/100, and I'm planning on moving up to 1/2. As for the competion, is it noticeably tighter at 1/2? I'm wondering if it's just more profitable to keep three tabling at the .5/1 tables if the fish are much more prevalent there.As for which site, all of my play has been at Empire/Party.Thanks for any info.

thanks guys...that was even simpler than i thought it would be

Quick and probably simple poker tracker question...I've got a bunch of NL $25 hands, and a bunch of $.5/$1 limit hands, how can I filter them so that when I look at the profit/loss by starting hand data under the general info screen it gives me only the data for the $.5/$1 hands?I'd like to see my won/loss info by starting hand for limit, but they're skewed by the NL hands I've played. I assume there's a way this can be done, any info would be great.

Poor Daniel,First off, he's losing his shirt at the WSOP and the Greenstein games thus far, and now some nobody is giving him shit at the no-limit shoot out:2005-06-17 12:52:00 Title: Some Notes From the Early Going Log: There is no shortage of action here in the early going. Some big names have already been sent to the rail, including yesterday's $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Champion T.J. Cloutier, Sammy Farha, and Mimi Tran. There is quite a feud brewing between Daniel Negreanu and an unknown player in Seat 2 at his table. Shortly after arriving at the table, Negreanu asked his unknown opponent,

LOL, that IS sick!What's the url?Thanks

Two hands after being big blind you were small blind? Hmm.....

More like 1/60,000 No I think it is 1 in 30,000.... the odds of the second guy getting aces are (2/50)*(1/49) = 1225.Remember, there are two aces remaining when he receives his first card, and one remaining when he receives the second.I stand humbly corrected. :oops:I think the correct odds is like 1/270725. You need to take the fact that YOU drew AA in the first place.Thus, making the equation (4/52)x(3/51)x(2/50)/(1/49).But I don't think you factored in the fact that this is a 10 handed game. 1/270k would be the odds of AA vs AA if you were heads up.

Just saw this, very useful link

Well, the odds of getting a pocket pair are lower than getting two non-paired cards, because one of the cards you are looking for is gone already. for exampe, if your first card is an A, you have a 3/51 chance of the second card being an A, whereas if you were looking for, say AK, and the first card was an A, you have a 4/51 chance of getting the King since they all still remain in the deck.So, the odds of getting any pocket pair are 3/51, or 1/17. And since there are 13 different numbered cards, the odds of getting AA are 1/17 * 1/13 = 221.Hope this helps...

in a 10 handed game i came up with about 1 in 30,000. my math could be off a bit though...

I think it was mentioned earlier, but the thing that makes 22 weak is the fact that you will face three over cards on all flops unless you trip up, making post flop play very difficult. Add to that the fact that you don't know you are up against AK; if your opponent has any pocket pair you are a huge dog. AK's strength lies in part due to the fac that it is only a huge underdog to two hands, AA and KK.

Yeah that would be helpful...thanks. I'm currently up $360 after 2,877 hands....figure this can't last but I'll post again when I reach 5-10,000 hands to see if it's fallen off.

well i'm glad this was cleared up

actually it's $12.50, poker tracker tracks no limit bb as twice the big blind, but thanks for the info

I recenty got poker tracker and after about 2900 hands of $25 NL I'm showing a profit of 25.23 BB/100...this seems inordinately high compared to what I've heard, but perhaps with small stake NL this is sustainable. I know 2,900 hands isn't enough but does anyone have an opinion on what the highest sustainable bb/100 is?

How many hands should be in poker tracker before the data should account for any possible variance? 5,000? 10,000? More?THanks

In addition steer clear of playing NL and Limit at the same time...it's tough to stay in the correct mindset and adjust for the difference between the two at the same time.That said, 2-tabling is often a good way to avoid tilting and pushing, since seeing more cards allows me to play a more patient game.
