If your first in, go ahead make the standard raise.If it's already been raised by a tight player, fold.If it's been raised by a LAG, then called by a douchebag, then reraise.If it's been raised, then called by a rock, fold.If it's been limped, then limped by 2+ more players, limp.If an ace flops, and you encounter opposition, fold.duh

Always split 88

i was in vegas with a dude once and he's like i'll play one more hand before we go and doubles his bet for laughsgets 88 has to split themthe third card is another 8 and he had to split them again - so now his one more hand is 6X what he was normally betting

I was playing $2 Blackjack the other day with some old guy. We keep getting 13's and dealer's bust cards are showing 21. Lucky its a $2 table, because she is killing us.So old guy gets two kings against a dealer 10, and splits them. He was new, so I explained that generally its not a good idea to split face cards, but that its a $2 table, so who gives a **** right?He gets a 10 on the first one, and takes like 30 seconds, then asks if he can double-down. The dealer gets uncomfortable (she is new), and my buddy suggests he splits instead. He perks up and asks if he is allowed to split. She says its fine, so he does.He then proceeds to bust on his first two hands by hitting on 17 and 18. He gets another ten on his last one, and the dealer asks if he wants to split again. He gets this incredulous look on his face and says, "what the **** do i look like, an idiot?"

limp in and fold on the river when you don't hit your set.

[Laffer 0]

If it's already been raised by a tight player, fold.

that would be the time I definitely am going to call. that is when the possible reward for flopping my set is high. if i can flop a set when somebody has aces or kings i can take their whole stack.
