FWIW I'm not sure that's the right dealing procedure for a self-dealt HU game. I don't like dealing the top card of a deck after shuffling to yourself just for ostensible integrity.

Ahh, right. That was just the first hit and I didn't think to google search for dealing it without an actual dealer. Only time I ever dealt HU was dealing charity poker in a tournament.

Just watching a Joe Ingram interview with 'stickyrice1' and and he has been asked 'how did you learn the math' and sticky rices' response was 'just count your outs then times by 2 or 4, thats easy'

Now this is the first i've seen of this guy, but hes coming across as a total whale.

Is this count outs then x by 2 or 4 an actual thing? the interviewer didnt call him out on it

yes he is, and yes it is - http://www.thepokerbank.com/strategy.../pot-odds/4-2/

FWIW stickyrice1 is a ginormous whale and Joey won't call him out on it because, well, don't tap the glass.

Thanks!

I am struggling to put a picture into a post. I click on 'preview post' but it just comes up with the link i cmd cv'd but with a load of *****. Didnt know where else to ask

.

while sticky is a fish, rule of 2 and 4 is a pretty common rule that people understand

is there any guide for setting the HUD up?

Hello,

why I am not able to send/receive PM´s ?

greets

Because the fact that you want to send PMs so quickly means you're about 75% to be a scammer

I'd take the over every time.

how do u post a new thread?

With the 'new thread' button in the upper left corner of every forum index.

Since you're probably trying to start a thread in the Staking forum, read this:

I will be attending a small live tournament(~30-50 players) with a large majority of amateur poker players who have no idea what they are doing. From my past experience several months ago, they have no real concept of bet sizing. Therefore, raising 5-7x pre and 3-4x potsize on the flop is completely standard. As well as overbetting pot and betting so much they leave a small portion behind.

Anyway, I am just curious what kind of strategy I can adopt to combat these bet sizings? Should I be folding to these wild bet sizings? Is it wise to completely forget my 2.5x-3x raises pre-flop since everyone at the table is going to be calling my raise anyway?

And what should I be doing in general to:

Huge underbetting/raising
Huge overbetting/raising

Fold much more to big bets and if they're doing it with the type of range you'd expect for a normal bet size, raise most of your c-range. Fold much less to small bets.

If I am an 8 BB per hour winner in the standard 1/2 NL ring game at the local casino, how much higher would my win rate be if I played rake-free home games assuming equal skill?

PS, thanks everyone for taking time to have a thread like this. I am new back to poker and it is great to have a little area where you can come with these silly post.

Depends what the rake structure is, the average buyin and the potsize distribution.

Also it's basically impossible to ever know your live winrate with any real confidence as you never reach sufficient sample size.

But basically, your win rate will be a lot higher without rake.

wussup everybody.....Ive been getting back into poker and taking it more serious than ever....one problem...Ive done drugs in my past history and its creates a certain insecurity about me like I don't have enough brain power for it...ive been clean a couple months already... and I just wanted to know is there any natural medicine I can take to help my brain with a little more focus or recovery or any other exceptions(AND NO IM NOT TALKING ABOUT ADDERALL OR RITALIN!!!!) I would really appreciate the advice

Sooooo... You're worried that taking drugs in the past might have a negative effect on your ability to play poker (seems like poker should be the least of your concerns if you're that much of a burn-out) and your proposed solution is to take different drugs?

Maybe a therapist to address the underlying insecurity might be a better idea?

So I can better analyze this with math, how can I best find the answer to a question like, "How often will x opponents flop a FD on a board with two of the same suit, if all the opponents have all suited connectors in their range?".
I'd like to know the percentage for 1 opponent through 5. This question came to me, because I'm analyzing a common spot where I raise a lot in a LLSNL game, and 1-5 people come with me and I have TPTK but there's two suited on the board. I want to know what happens if I bet and someone comes along with me, and then the third suit hits the turn card.

I know stack sizes are important as well, but I need to be able to answer the first question to better calculate my EV based off different plays.

I will offer what works for me but I will say I am a country kid from central texas so I am in no way one of those hippie, snake oil type of people who swears organic flax seed croutons are the hot ticket for winning at life.

But I do find that when I drink a cup or two of plain green tea, it is the only thing I see that makes a marked difference in my energy throughout the day. I use to work a very boring job where I sat in a room all day and surfed the internet. Without the green tea I would be constantly fighting to stay awake during the noon time hours. With the green tea, it was never an issue. The stuff is a couple of bucks at walmart so give that a try and maybe it will help ya.
