Thanks. Looking like Carbon it is.

Don't mean to be obtuse, but what are skins? Does that just refer to how the tables look when you play on them, e.g. "When I played at Stars I used the skin that...

Hey all,

Bowed out after Black Friday. Had just earned the bankroll to start playing 50BB (.25/.50 is 50BB right? I've even forgot the argot).

I had a Mac running 10.4, so without Stars my...

I tried to cash out and haven't had the money show up in my account yet. Should I just wait and see what happens, or cancel the request.

It's irrational, but I'd rather have my money somewhere...

Is there a point missing? You call 43% of 3bs or 4.3%

I've been playing online poker for just over a year, and I have done well at $2NL (35 bb/100 over 16k hands) and $5NL (12 bb/100 over 32k hands) levels.

Now let me just get this out of the way: I...

Only position I'm negative everywhere is the big blind. Any specific advice for playing in limped pots from there? I'm not really a chaser, and always consider my pot odds and outs before calling...

Hokay.

Overdue stat review here. I probably should've done this earlier but after I joined up here and decided to get serious about improving my play, I cruised pretty well through 12k hands at...

That is all excellent advice and very helpful. I'd say one of my problems is seeing trips and getting huge dollar signs in my eyes, and trying to string along opponents regardless of the wetness of...

Having one of those days where the term "grind" really earns its definition, in that every pot won is a hard fought pot. I've maybe had one or two easy pushes, calls all day, through 1,800 plus...

When I came over the top, a giant AK was ricocheting around my dome. Good poit about the stack sizes, Andy. That makes me feel a bit better.

Stacks: Sorry, I sort of felt like the results were...

Yeah, I guess my plan with the min raise was to see if he'd come over the top, in which case I'd call and c/r the turn all in. But the calls on the flop and turn seemed pretty conservative for this...

Here is another hand I played terribly.

Villain is a complete maniac. 85/50 through 68, with 63% Agg. He could literally have anything. But of all the maniacal stuff I'd seen him do, pushing was...

I can't recall the post, but one of the most useful pieces of info I've found on this site was in regards to playing pps against someone you can squarely put on AA in raised pots. In regards to...

Is there a Mac equivalent to poker stove?

Also for the 86/29/2, that's VPiP/PFR/?? What's the 2? AF?

I am abundantly aware of how badly I played this hand. Horrible. Shameful. I'm about 9,000 hand deep in $2NL, and I have 7 hands where I lost -100 bb or more. Of those, two (TWO!) are on Ace high,...

About A9: Thanks. About TT: Sorry, I used the raw number and not the percentage. He had played 16/19 hands and raised 15/19, so he was 84/79 through 19. My bad. Still learning the argot.




...

Are the two mutually exclusive? I very, very rarely talk shit in this fashion, but for a player as aggressive as this guy, I felt a little salt in the wound might make him go on tilt. After the first...

Hey Daeyeth, I was playing at a few tables with you today on PS. Recognize the avatar.

Anyhow, here are my thoughts from a fellow $2NL grinder:

First, the guys that push all in preflop:

Thanks.

Also just like to say it's post like this that make me really glad I found this place when I was in a period of thinking I was good at poker. I am not. I have a lot of learning to do.

I read through the Learning Starts Here posts and didn't find any sort of beginner's tutorial on using the notes feature in the poker rooms. I have used notes since the beginning, but since I just...

Couple n00b Qs here:

1. What does 8/6 over 600 mean?

2. When you talk about combos and stuff above, what do the numbers signify before the hands, e.g., 8xKQ? What's the 8 signify?

Levian,

I am also new, and am going to attempt to answer your question because I want to practice calculating odds myself. I would love for someone to check my math, as I'm sort of treating this...

I downloaded Poker Copilot, since I have a Mac. Yes, I wish I had found this on day one. Unfortunately, I only hand my PS hand history saved for 30 days, but even that info was quite useful. Don't...

Awesome. Gentleman + Scholar = You
