I am in 30L $11 PLO8 GL all

Maybe my way is not the best, but if I am going to try this I bet the flop and turn and not just the turn. In a HU situation and me first to act i auto bet that flop. If I am called I figure Villain has a piece of it. If the card that hits the turn is different from the flop cards and gives me nothing i check that turn, but if the board pairs I fire out again. If I'm called I check the river and only call if the river hits me in some way.

It's amazing to me how many times firing out the 2nd continuation bet will pick up these pots. It seems like the Villains will think nothing of calling the small bet, but so many times the larger turn bet scares them off. There are 3 possibilities on a hand like this. Villain is on a straight draw, a flush draw or he paired some part of that flop. if it's either of either of the first two possibilities then he's going nowhere as he has the pot odds to chase getting 7-1 on the flop. if the third possibility is in fact true betting the turn could have him putting you on a decent sized pock

No surprise to me he checked unless your information on Villain was he was a heavy duty post flop aggro. your check/raise on the flop is representing the 3rd 7 and he would have to be a fool to bet into that turn with anything less than JJ or the third 7 himself with a decent kicker.I think the only way a C/R works on the turn is if you had merely called the flop and even then, with the scary board and the fact you only had to check your big blind preflop tells Villain you could have anything including that 3rd 7 as you did. Even with a simple call on the flop there is a high percentage of p

oops, my bad. Sorry if I posted in the wrong forum. :oops: He said 500 big bets if are trying to become a pro which I am. I think that was the part that shocked me about the high big bet amount was that taking money out to live like a pro does was not part of it. He said just trying to become a pro and you should have this bankroll. I am trying not to take anything out of bankroll and just build it up and up. I am going to go with this advice. I mean afterall, he is the pro and I am not yet. Someday :-) But not quite there yet. Currently playing .25/.50 Limit. I have a lon

Over at Full Tilt Poker they have these pod casts and vidcasts One of the Podcasts i listens to was this: HOWARD LEDERER Full Tilt Poker Podcast #5 Your Online Poker Bankroll I listened with great interest to this broadcast and was shocked by what he said. To summarize: The 300 big bet bankroll is basically intended for live games. For online play the appropriate bankroll, in his opinion is 500 big bets because your swings are bigger online and this is if your trying to become an online pro and you really don't want to go broke. If you 4 table you should double this to 1000 big bets. They ke

Okayyyyyyyyy, here's the story. Lately I have been multitabling (4 tables at once) which is the maximum Pokerroom allows but that's good for me because I don't think I could keep up with much more than that. I have done fair enuf but the thing I noticed was what happened today.I sit at all 4 tables with $15 on each. This is .25/.50 limit by the way. Anyway on one table I have doubled my buy-in and am over $29. On another i am at $15 and change so about even. On another I am down to about $8 and the other down to about $10 or $11. It seems to work this way a lot. I do great on one somet

Tight, tighter, tightest. I want the percentage seeing the flop to be lower than 35% and preferably lower than 30% but at $1/$2 I don't find lower than 30% on pokerroom but I do find 32%-37% The tighter the better. If you play a tight game yourself you will win more pots and tho they may be smaller you will see very few suckouts, outdraws and basically runner-runner bulshit like you see in loose games. Last week I showed a profit of $212 at the $1/$2 limit tables by playing the tables that had flop percentages no higher than 38%

Yeah present and accounted for. You've heard of me of course. Jim Irving, also known as "Diamond Jim" because of the back to back to back diamond flushes I flopped to win the 2006 WSOP. Also known as the "Starlight Kid" After I came out of the stars from way back in the pack on 3 seperate occasions to win WPT titles in the summer and fall of 2007. Of course my finest showing was the WSOP bracelets I won for Limit and NL WSOP tournies in 2008 of course. Ahhh will never forget those. How sweet the memories. Ok ok so I'm a little early with this post. File it away and we'll repost it a l

I'm a bit confused about this so perhaps someone can help. The most important thing with suited connectors is to get pot odds as I see it. Ok I am dealt 67s in MP1 we'll say in a $1/$2 limit game. UTG raises to $2 I call 1 other calls and big blind calls. We have four people in the hand to see the flop and $8 in that pot. The flop is dealt. UTG bets $1 and there is $9 in the pot and I have 9-1 odds to call and see the turn card. I call and the other 2 fold. Turn card dealt. UTG bets $2 giving the pot $10 and me 5-1 to call it so I do and finally river card is dealt.Now in the above e

Actually this gives you about $350/week depending on your tax bracket. Don't forget that if you have that much coming in from gambling, you need to set aside money to pay your income taxes with....Oooops forgot about that. That could have made Uncle Sam a wee bit cranky. LOL Thanks for the reminder.

I am headed for pro sometime this year is the plan, but it all depends on what your goals are and what you need as to how much you need to make per week, in the bankroll, and in the bank as a safety cushion.In my situation I am a cashier for a convienence store making less than $8/hr and with what my wife brings in each month we have plenty for bills and some fun money. We do not live high obviously, but we are not homeless or in the poorhouse either. We eat well as do the 3 cats But because of this our wants and needs are not excessive. So I'll tell you my plan of attack.I want a decent b

I must have missed something. Who was making a challenge to who?

Without a doubt the best online Poker site on the net is far and away Pokerroom.com and I can give you several reasons why:1. First and foremost when they say your withdrawel will be credited to Neteller within 1 business day, they actually mean it. 2. If you're short on cash their mininum deposit is only $103. If you want to use the instacash feature and have the money show up instantly using neteller, Pokerroom covers the extra fee.4. Excellent player notes system and they have note indicators which even if your in the lobby just put the cursor over the indicator on someone at a table and y
