Perfectly played.

Ever see the move "Four Rooms"? If you haven't then rent it today. It's got everything: violence, topless woman, witches, Bellhops, fires, chopping fingers, and dead hookers. There are 4 different...

This is a different situation for many reasons:

You were the only one that raised preflop. Hands like Q9 are likely to call a small raise but they are not likely to raise.

You had 3 other...

Maybe you should post some of the histories with your notes on how to play the ones that you are unsure about so that we can help. By the way I think this sounds like a great project.

Simple. Winning tournements and winning ring games require different playing tactics. Theses differences are seemingly minute yet these small differneces mean that if someone plays exactly like they...

40% is a little high to play at all the time. If you arn't getting cards at all and you keep raising like this you will lose money over the long run. People will notice your constant raising and they...

Good one on table image, forgot to mention that.

About sets, why is checking the set wrong most of the time? Usually a set is so well hidden, it seems like the perfect time to trap. (Only with...

My rules of thumb for pushing pre-flop:
1) Any time the pot has reached smallish medium sized always push. If I'm playing 100nl and the pot has reached 15 dollars I would push.
2) Any time I...

Its not that improbable when you are talking about the enormous implied odds that comes with stacks that deep. Plus, in high stakes games players don't follow strict sklansky rules. Sometimes they...

I think part of the key here is that there are not nearly as many stupid players at that level of stakes that would go all-in thinking they have the nuts with a flush or a full-house. If you were an...

I think this should make it into FTR's top ten most pointless threads (if they had one). Let's just all forget this thread ever happend.

This is one of those situations that only applies to big stakes players. With twelve thousand dollars on the line I might actually fold. Those are some deep stacks and why would your opponent bet...

Your 1/2 sized pot bet would have been perfect if there was only two other callers and you were in early position. But with 5 callers and a 10 dollar pot you want to bet the pot. There are too many...

I would have raised pre-flop. I might go all-in preflop if I was facing a very LAGGy opponent with a history of raising large pre-flop with sub-optimal hands. If I was in your situation on the flop I...

please tell me you are kidding. Fnord you may be good and all, but do you know how many THOUSANDS of online players there are out there just like you? people act like the internet game is so hard to...

This is a tough call. I would normally call this except that he might have set and is trying to avoid you catching a flush or a strait. If he has the strait then he might be afraid of the flush. His...

One important factor in the decision is what position is the player in. Lots of players will only raise from early postion with high pocket pairs or AK. If an early player bets from early position...

I think that you need more information in order to correctly choose whether to lay down your hand. Here are two scenarios:

1) There was no raise preflop. You get top two pair and you are playing...

6-max or full-ring? I play twice as many hands in 6-max as I do in full ring games. I will fold alot of hands in a full-ring game that I would play in 6-max.

Here are my full ring selections:...

I agree that he is trying to take down the pot Storm77m but I think its because he has flopped two pair or a set and he is afraid the board might turn on him and give his opponent a strait or...

When I say poker lessons I am talking about Fnord or whoever else logging onto IRC with a student. Then the student sits down at a table and the teacher watches him play and makes hand by hand...

I think I would have bet 3/4 the pot here. 1/2 just screams weakness too much. I think you are better off laying this one down. If he had doubled your bet then you would definetely call but not 4x....

Stewartkev, I'm going to help you out man. Admitance is the first stage of recovery. Repeat after me, "My name is Stewartkev and I am a maniac. I bet too hard and push too often at the wrong times...

Actually I was talking about the other players' statistics, but your table image is important too.
