It is to them, that's for sure. Actually the Beginner area now has .15/.30 and .25/.50 limit, as well as $5 and $10 max NL.

Marginal success with this today. Called 4xBB raise w/66, flopped bottom set, raised into preflop raiser who called with TP, doubled buy-in. KK called by T9s (!), smaller stack though.Then I think I made a mistake for these rules, not exactly sure. On a new table I flopped the nut straight in my buy-in blind, pushed, called by TPTK who caught runner-runner flush.Had 2 tables left open, decided it was last hand on both and ended up with big hands on both. AA on one, no callers. Turned the nut flush on the other, 2 folds, 1 hesitated then folded. Woulda been a nice way to go out.

Hi. Perhaps "since" was a poor word choice, but thanks for the insight.

For the post about bottom set, someone replied to me earlier that you have to think twice about calling all-in (I guess whether you know the pusher or not).The only deviation I've considered is limping Kxs as well, since I've yet to flop an A-hi flush, but would've had 3 K-hi. I don't know the (any) math, would the risk be worse than with pushing kings preflop and running into aces? (Which I know has happened to a few, including me just recently. Luckily it was from a small stack and I didn't lose the whole buy-in.)

Hi, it's an interesting strategy.Say you flop your set, but the flop is suited or 3 to a straight, still go all-in? What if someone pushes ahead of you?How big of a raise preflop are you allowed to call, 3x? 5x? If you don't make your set but the flop is ragged, just check and fold?Thanks.

What a donk Daniel is. Didn't he know he only effectively held the nuts? Freddy shoulda called him on it.

Er, not quite.Hand 18 - Lee has the button in seat 7, Raymer limps from the small blind, and Seif checks his option. The flop comes Ah-5d-3d, Raymer checks, Seif bets $20,000, and Raymer calls. The turn card is the 8h, Raymer checks, Seif bets $50,000, and Raymer calls. The river card is the 8c, Raymer checks, Seif pushes all in for about $185,000, and Raymer calls. Seif shows 4-2 for a flopped straight, while Raymer shows A-10. Mark Seif doubles up.After that hand, Seif has taken over the chip lead with $560,000, while Raymer has dropped down to $545,000.BB special.

The looseness ratings are a little surprising. Using his numbers, basically the only player you could describe as tight-aggressive would be Mimi Tran. Duke and Chan would come next closest.If you take the average without counting play style, Ivey is still first with 8 ... next is Barry and Daniel, tied at 7.75 ... Hellmuth is last with 5.75

Anyone else having trouble seeing the tables? With the regular version I can only see play money ring game tables, and with the light version I can't see ANY tables. I can see the tourney tables fine with both versions. Haven't tried the download version. Do you need to have money deposited to see the real money tables?

Been lurking here a few months, read this post and noticed this guy was on PS right now. When I opened his $100-$200 table, he was just betting on the river into a big pot, and the other guy folded. Wouldn't risk $200 to win $2500? Seemed weird. Then he sat out, up over $20,000. A search showed he had just started a heads-up SNG, $5000 buy-in. The other guy was sitting out the whole time!
