FCPHA: Big Table in the Back


Recommended Posts

i think it depends a lot on the table....at an aggressive one, where you're going to have to lay it down to a lot of reraises, it makes sense to fold or limp....At a passive table, with a reasonable chance of a successful steal, it seems like more of a possibility...but you can't limp, you have to raise.
Wow. Couldn't have said it better myself. Especially the bold.The reason is for every one that you steal or C-bet on a safe flop or hit your set, you can fold to a re-raise, so it equals out in the long run to make raising more profitable to a limp where you'll ulitmately probably fold to an isolating re-raise.

I do not like half-and-half in my coffee, but I do like that powdered non-dairy creamer. That probably makes me weird, right?Morning folks.

I am also not seeing Tool this time around. I'm afraid I'm probably not seeing Cornell either, considering I have no idea if he's actually coming here or not, and if he is, nobody would go see it with me anyway. The only friend I have up here that's into Chris Cornell is the friend that's moving to Hawaii.

since we're talking about poker, i'm going to reask the question i asked the other night:Does the play get significantly better as you climb the buy-in in HORSE tourneys? I've been playing $1 sng's, doing quite well...wondering if it's worth it for me to move up.
I see this was already answered but the general rule is that play won't be much different withing one level of any SNG. It's not like the $15 sng's are much softer than the $20 or in this case, the $1 are much softer than the $5. I think you should have moved up a year of two ago.
I should have said an M of 14, not bb my bad.I think I try to see the flop too often with these type of hands when my stack isn't deep enough to allow for the play to be profitable, at least that's the advice I'm getting from HOH2. So I guess if I am going to play them it's a matter of what I want to do preflop. If I had to guess on based on past tournaments I'm probably limping to often, not raising when first in the pot and probably not folding enough.
it depends.I may fold/limp/raise depending on my table. There is no correct answer and I've come to realize, strat questions are ALWAYS read dependent.
Wow. Couldn't have said it better myself. Especially the bold.The reason is for every one that you steal or C-bet on a safe flop or hit your set, you can fold to a re-raise, so it equals out in the long run to make raising more profitable to a limp where you'll ulitmately probably fold to an isolating re-raise.
I do like to limp with 66 or whatever if the table is correct. 'Usually' the table dynamic will be right to limp later in a tourney since everyone and their dog loves to go aggro-donk at that point. Here's why, with a hand like 66,77,88,99, and 14BB's you can't raise 3BB's and call a re-raise. If you do, your completely committed to this and you may as well play it like a stop and go. If you limp, it's possible to call a x4BB raise and play your hand depending on the stack size and tendencies of your opponents. What can happen is your limp can encourage other players to limp behind you. Obviously, you can only play 66 for set value if you get 2 limpers and the blinds see the flop. If you use this, keep in mind what the other players are going to think about your game for the next several rounds. btw, I'll usually fold from ep with small pocket pairs in the example BiggMitts used.

Under-estimator!How do you bid jobs? :club:
Exact estimate.
She meant "brown bag bang," obviously, so that it wouldn't be so difficult for you, and it'd help her out.
Awesome.

I never advocated raising and calling a re-raise. I'm either raising, and getting in against the right player, or I'm raising and folding to a re-raise if necessary. I think a limp, while encouraging other limpers, sets you up too often for a squeeze play from the button or blinds, and isn't worth it.

Do you really see the squeeze play that often, I don't seem to run into it much.

I asked one of my staff to scan some documents in an envelope. There was an ATM card in the envelope as well, which she tried to scan through a form feed scanner and now wonders why it doesn't work anymore.1. No, she's not hot.2. No, I didn't hire her.
