  1. I find that Chris Ferguson has the leading advice in money management. Here's an article on how he went from zero dollars to $10000:http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/tip-email-100...t.php?utm_id=90Good luck.
  2. Generally, you're fold is too weak here. He's got a fearless stack that's trying to steal chips, with any medium hand. 4-handed, you are likely to have the only Ace, and you've got the second best kicker. Call your stack.
  3. The only hand I might, I might, fear here is ten-deuce. Only because it's the "Doyle" hand, and donks are seduced by any nicknamed hand, with a story behind it. Other than that, you should be a mile ahead. If CO has a set, why wouldn't he just smooth call? And, wait for the agressor to do the betting. If he's the retard you say he is, then you've got to protect you're hand. The SB called quite a big pre-flop bet, so that writes off the junk like 4-2. Also, the SB stack isn't that fearsome. He could have 44 or 22 in the hole, but again, why not slow play your set on this nice safe flop.Y
  4. First of all, you should never, never, never fold pre-flop to the 3-bet. Yeah, you're way behind, but the pot is 8:1 to call. So, you're committed. You've just got to hope for a flop of two-pair or three ducks or better. Pairing or tripping your Ace is not a good thing.It sounds like you were experimenting, but overplaying weak Aces will devastate you're bankroll. At this limit, the early limp is likely a weak or medium hand. So, raising late isn't hideous. However, the hand selection is. A2off is not good. If you pair the Ace, can you really be confident that you're ahead? Especiall
  5. Sometimes a raise in this situation is the thing to do, but not always. The villian's numbers show tight-passive. I suspect that he would've three-bet the flush. He could have Ac6x. But, KT is also possible. The way it's played, calling is fine. I'd say around 40% of the time, you should raise the river. Btw, a lot of the time you should have been making a Turn bet here.
  6. Silky,She didn't limp, at all, before that. And, I didn't shove, I check-raised.
  7. You've given away an extra bet here, unnecessarily. It's entirely possible that UTG+1 has a King. You should be checking the turn. Then calling the river. You aren't strong enough to hammer like that.
  8. All-in pre-flop here, is just a hideous idea. I'd almost never do that.Considering the three-dollar buy-in, I figure that the opening hand range is pretty wide. (Also, btw, this I find this to be middle stage more than late stage.) So, the raiser could easily have Ace-rag, or KT, or QJ. TT is a strong hand, especially five-handed. You should re-raise to 1500. Should get the job done, right there.If he then comes back all-in, you can get out and still have 20 BB's left. Which is plenty to fight with.
  9. You probably shouldn't play around too much here, unless you are positive that he's got air. Is he raising too much from the button? Even so, hands like A6 or KT or K9 are reasonable stealing hands. I say start with a check.If he bets $10 or less, you can call. Check the turn, and see what he does. A turn bet probably means your beat. If he bets medium or high, then you can chuck it with minimal losses.Leading out here seems completely wrong. You're setting yourself up for a re-raise. If that happens what are you going to do? It's too expensive. You can acquire that info for less mon
  10. Oops, sorry, I missed writing that bit. But, yes I did check first......going for the check-raise. Which should have been check-raise all-in. Not just to 40000. Brain cramped up.
  11. I wouldn't call you a donkey, at all. But, I do agree with FlushGarden, you didn't bet this hand well enough. Under-betting your first flop bet is fine, because UTG is agressive is likely to raise. But, once it's three-bet, all you do is consider calling? You've got to protect your hand, this flop stinks of draws. And, with so many other people in, you can count on, at least, one being there. So, once it's upped to $100, you're entire stack should be in the middle.I say let them call you a donkey all night long. If they want to put money in, on the come, versus the nuts, then you'll mak
  12. Well, you may not be the shortie, but your not in great shape, either. Getting fourth is okay.......I guess. But, really, we're out to win, aren't we? And you need chips. If the 675 doubles up, you & him are at the same spot, after the blinds pass you. So, going all-in, isn't so bad. You needed to make a move, and you had a strong hand. Problem with all-in, in the SB, is that everyone will think you're stealing (especially at $5 buy-in). I like raising to 500. If you get called, you can get out if you miss the flop. If he pushes back, you can bail, hoping the shortie gets cooked.
  13. Well, I made a mistake here, and I folded. At the time, I was completely covinced that I was beat. Now, I understand about pot odds, but reality says that if I call when I know I'm behind, I'm leaving myself next to no chips to come back with. So, I begrudgingly mucked. Leaving myself around 39000 chips to still make a significant raise. (Didn't work, tho, I finished third.)In the hand, based on her history, I figured here for KQs or QJs, with an outside chance of AA or KK. Definitely not AQ, she would have raised it. So, what could she have limped with, for the first time? Turns out s
  14. This hand is from a live tourney, so my apologies for no hand conversion. The buy-in was $220, with around six people getting paid. First place gets $5000, second gets $3200 (I think), and third gets $1400. We're down to three-handed play. Here are the chip counts (ish):Button - 76000SB - 100000BB (Hero) - 89000The blinds are at 4500/9000, 500 ante. (A strange level, I thought.......whatever.)As for reads, I played the SB on the my first table, I know she's a little wild. A wide opening range. She even took her add-on, at the first break, and put in her purse. Only to return it to the
  15. I haven't read the white, yet. (Good idea, tho.)I'm don't think I like your flop play here, Cop. I don't mind the pre-flop call, it's a decent hand HU. Especially, against all the aggresion. But, your raise to 4000 is only a bit more than min-raise. And, it comes off scared, to a solid opponent. He's probably thinking you're afraid of putting your stack in, and is pushing you around. If I thought my eights were good (or if I thought he had a flush draw), I'd have it all in there. If I was worried about an Ace or bigger pair, I'd call. Wait and see what he does on the next street, befo
