yes, if u have an acct at one, it is your ONE acct for FTP.

But if you didn't make a deposit on it, just change the first name by editing it to some random whatever name, then just make a new one.

one of them (.net I think) is used to get round advertising laws or something

if he changes name and email wont they just be able to see that he changed it? or do they not keep track of non cash accounts?

I know on PS one doesn't offer cash tables. You have to DL the .com I believe for cash tables to available. I don't think you will have to change you SN though.

You might want to try if you don't have RB.

yep that's it. the .net ones are used for advertising as they are for play money only. the .com ones are for real money and that's why all the pro's wear .net gear when appearing on tv as the advertising of 'gambling' is a no-no.

or some **** like that.

What should i do here?

raise more preflop, as played shove

Is it possible to play 8 tables at once, 13hrs a day, 30 str8 days , about 80 hands per hour and earn over 3bb per 100 hands? Thats 260991 hands in a month.
I am asking about reality ,not extreme probabilities here.

Possible, but very few people could do it. 13 hour days for 30 days straight is brutal.

I have a dumb question. Why the friggin **** does it say everywhere that the hand rankings are ... straight, flush, full, quads, straight flush, royal flush? Like here: http://www.texasholdem-poker.com/handrank.

I dont get it man, is everyone so stupid they dont realize royal flush is not a separate category? why not say ...straight, flush, full, quads, quad aces, straight flush, K high straight flush and royal straight flush?

Its killing me man

I guess just because it is the best hand full stop.

Having it as a separate category was actually used ages ago, when people used to play draw with wildcards, a common ranking system put five of a kind lower than a royal but above other straight flushes.

Huge thanks to all that post replies to all the dumb questions -

Here's an easy one I hope -> I know there are heaps of HUD software out there... Which are the best ones & why?

I'm looking for one that might include pot odds for the immediate call - I can do the math no worries but would like to make it easier.

Cheers!

Another Dumb Question: (sorry about the format, I can't convert my hands with the client that I use!):

Very simple scenario, but it always leaves me feeling like I've played the hand incorrectly, no matter how I react:


NL$60
Hero (BTN): QQ
Villain (CO)

Action folds to Villain who limps. Hero raises to $3. SB and BB fold, Villain calls. Pot is $6.90.

Flop: 2j6

Villain checks.
Hero bets $4.
Villain reraises to $12
Hero ????


Backround: Villain is a complete Unk, therefore range completely unknown. Do you give him the benefit of the doubt or do you continue because you think he puts you on a marginal hand as you raised from the BTN? Also relevant is the fact that there are no commercially available stats proggies for this particular poker site.

Thanks for your help guys!!

Oh, forgot to add. I was 200BB deep and he had about 60BB

when you get older, you realize that there's a lot of stupid bs in the world that you can't control. you and me, when we rule the world, we'll fix this. Until then, I'm letting go.

with only 60bb, this is probably an all-in. you could also call the bet and call a turn shove (allowing villain to bluff his stack off to you). Stacks are too short to lose a lot of sleep over the set/2pr possibilities. I'd be happier if there were draws available, (so villain might be semi-bluffing), but ah well.

the checkraise might only mean he has a jack. this flop is supposed to have missed you, so people will checkraise you a lot in this spot. readless, you have to figure you're stronger than you look here, if only by a little bit. It's not a "fist pump" call, as you'll be behind fairly often, but with the money already in the pot I think it's still a call at this stack size. Deeper stacks, you have to be careful to not offer too much in implied odds when you have a big pair.

I keep saying call, but I mean you probably raise. Point is, you continue, and any continuing here is a decision for the full $60.

better to have raised a little more preflop (assuming this was .50/1). If you could get $6 in preflop I'm much happier getting all in on the flop. That takes away the implied odds villain would need to play a speculative hand for set value or 2pr+.

Ok, thanks so much for the reply! I figured that I would be getting checkraised a lot on this type of flop so I thought stacking off given his stack size would be the right thing.

One thing however:Say that both players have 200BB behind in .50/1. I raise preflop $6 in a similar situation (which, by my logic, would mean that Villain would need to win 6 x 8 = $48 when he hits his set in order to break even), would it stand to reason to commit a maximum total of 48-6=$42 on future streets and no more, in order to avoid paying him off? I can't exactly make a preflop raise of $25 (which would make setmining for my entire stack a breakeven tactic), but at the same time, I am offering him to high implied odds if I commit more than $42 postflop with a preflop raise of $6, am I not?

What I am getting at is, especially due to the fact that I am getting checkraised a lot on this flop, would calling the reraise be a mistake if it means that you will be making Villain's setmining profitable? How do you make this decision if you and your opponent have 100BB or even 200BB behind?

Thanks again!

I have a few questions on Bankroll management.
What kinda of bankroll do you need to play microstakes(NL10, NL25)?
What about NL50, NL100?

Do you need a bigger bankroll if you are multitabling? If so, what is the rule to how big your bankroll needs to be?

If you lose half of your bankroll to variance, should you move down to play lower stakes?

Thanks

I've gone 20-odd posts without quoting anyone, but now I need to know -

how do I insert those dark gray quotes of other folks in a thread?

I just don't use message boards that often.

in Holdem Manager

Whats "W$SF%" ?

The bb/100 i believe means big blinds won/lost per 100 hands but I understand it's calculated differently for Poker Tracker and HM, how does each calculate it?

Turn Cbet and river Cbet does this mean after a preflop raise continuing from also Cbetting the flop then also turn? What if the flop wasn't Cbet then the turn was bet is that a turn Cbet?

Thanks

Thanks. I kept hitting 'post reply' first, and then looking for an 'insert quote' button.

Sometimes I see people quote multiple times within a response - like they'll quote part of someone's text, respond, and then quote a later portion of someone's text, and have a different response. Does that just involve hitting the quote button first, and then copying and pasting the bracketed stuff around different portions of the quoted person's text?

Deep stack nlhe gets much much more complictated. yes, you need to be careful not to pay off speculative hands with big pairs, but you also have to get value with those big pairs, so folding every time the betting gets to 8x the preflop bet is easily exploitable ("I raise"). This is not a dumb question, and whole books have been written about it.

You would be perfectly justified taking this to the appropriate strategy forum (post a specific hand, ideally). You might also enjoy the various books 2+2 has published. Professional No-Limit Holdem has a lot to say about stack sizes and preflop betting. Harrington on Cash Games will give you loads of advice about playing premium hands against people who like to speculate.
