I think my biggest leak in 6-max is chickening out when the other guy bet big, even when my gut instinct said he was bluffing. I just couldnt...

For some reason, everytime I pull away from poker for a few weeks and withdraw everything back to my bank account, I only ever re-deposit a small...

This guy was terrible. He had already busted out once on a straight draw, and had bought back in. He was making random raises and all ins, as well...

I'm unsure if I did this right.. was the smooth call pre-flop smart? Should I raise the flop or just call? I think I scared him off and could have...

Villian is somewhat tight, havent really seen him do a whole lot yet. Whats your line here and why? Note that villain has a small stack here. Results...

This is the worst i think i've ever played a hand in my life. Tried to buy all the limpers money from the BB and got 4 callers...proceeded to bluff...

I really didnt put anyone on the K. Read on the button was that he was really fishy, played super weird hands, called down a few hands with mid pair...

No reads on the guy here. I usually don't play AK to a raise oop but I was playing a little extra loose today and played it pretty strong. But...

let's say you are raising 4x the BB and 1 person calls. a few things can happen. But i'm wondering the size of the bet when you miss and want to take...

Well towards the end of my stay at 400 NL 6 max, I felt like I was completely dominating the game, and had figured out how to solidly beat the...

I'm an avid student of the game (relative newcomer--been playing seriously less than 6 months, generally at $10 and $20 SNG's), but new to big MTT's....

help me with this hand, could i have got him out? Game #917821259 - (blinds $0.10/$0.25) No Limit Texas Hold'em - 2005/08/02-08:31:00.8 (CST)...

I have a feeling if I reraised pre-flop he might have folded. I didnt want to scare off a semi-bluffing AK on the flop and just kept calling and let...

This is not indicative of my normal style of play, but it does show some common mistakes. Hand 1: Villian is somewhere in between maniac and...

I've been crushing the $50s lately, and even better in a limited number of $100s. I seem to do better at 50/100 SNGs then at lower levels(which...

Can't be anything else but AA or a real foolish bluff on KK or QQ. Still was tough to fold this one even though he gave away his hand in the chat at...

I thought his small bet in early position repped a weak hand, such as a pocket pair or something below top pair.. so I raised.. ***** Hand...

Villain has pushed all-in a couple times before, and showed A20 once... ***** Hand History for Game 2445414204 ***** $400 NL Texas Hold'em -...

The most frustrating part (to me) in dealing with these online, high stakes, poker tourneys is the limitted stack you have to work with. My poker...

Villain lost a big pot from me the previous hand after I called a big bluff of his, and is pissed lol. Has pushed all-in before on me, and I folded....

..but if you hit anything you lose your stack! :mischief: I think this illustrates when its ok to slow-play and give your opponents an extra card...

I just moved up to the 5-10 limits (limit hold'em). This is one of the wildest games i have ever come into contact with. Between last night and this...

I have a few questions on heads up strategy. I usually play for like $2 or $5 at the moment, and seem to win around 50% although lose money due to...

Is a check/raise here the best play or is it too likely to scare everyone off? Would it have been better to lead out? How do you play this one? ...

Comments on this hand? It was tough for me.. and im sure I misplayed it, but not sure how I would go about it Villian is TAG very tight #Game...

I take their stack :-) Maybe this should go in tales of poker, but this was short handed and the hands are consecutive. This guy was raising to...

How could I have put this guy on a gut-shot calling a pot-sized bet? Was I doomed to lose my stack here? ***** Hand History for Game 2453415364...

Both of these hands were played consecutively at the same table against the same villain. For the first hand.. I thought he was BS'ing with overs...

The setup: The villan (Arctrus) is the calling station from hell. I think he called LITERALLY EVERY ONE of my preflop raises for the past 45 min,...

I have been making large bluffs quite frequently in 100NL. If I actually get the correct read, they work 85% of the time. How often do you guys make...
