Thanks for replying - I will try it out today.

As for the guy who asked about Party Poker - if it hasn't been answered already - I directed pokertracker to look for the source folder under my party poker folder - there was a folder called hand histories and then it automatically updated from there. Hope this helps.

I just got Hold'em Manager, but I have no idea how to use/read it.

What settings should I use as a beginner?

On poker stars is there anyway to get ride of the fold option, when you can clearly check your option instead for free.

Also when using poker tracker, i have a "perferfered seat" selected on stars. So regradless to where i sit i will be viewing the table as i sit there. Well some times my hud stats go crazy and everyone is mixed up. How do i fix this?

Are odds of hitting a straight higher with stuff like 5-6, then with one space like 5-7. (I think they are called connectors?)

yes. with 56 you can hit 23456, 34567, 45678, 56789

with 57 only 34567, 45678, 56789

it goes connectors, one gappers, 2 gappers...

In HEM, the BB/100 is double the Pokertracker version, is that correct?

So for example if I'm beating a level at 10bb/100 in HEM, it would equal 5bb/100 in PT?

Also, most people do refer to PT BB's when they talk about beating a level don't they?

Cliffs:

bb = big blind
BB = 2bb
ptbb = BB = 2bb

Alright, how do I do the math to figure if I should call or fold this hand?

Blinds are 0.02/0.04$

I hold A

Folded to me on BU and I raise 0.12$. SB with 0.94$ left goes AI. BB folds. The pot is now 1.12$ and I have 0.84$ to call.

I give villain this range:

Hand 0: 54.993% 50.39% 04.60% 85425399 7797427.50 { 22+, AJs+, KQs, AQo+ }
Hand 1: 45.007% 40.41% 04.60% 68497842 7797427.50 { AhQh }

Should I call? How do I do the math behind my decision?

Assuming your range is correct, if you call 45% of the time you win $1.12 and 55% of the time you lose $.84.

(.45)(1.12)-(.55)(.84)
.504-.462
0.042

So calling worth four cents making it a marginal call. However, this doesn't account for the rake which certainly eats that up, depending on the site.

Read the various FAQs, stickies and other key threads. This is a ridiculously broad and open-ended question.

You might as well go post a on football forum and ask, "When should we pass?"

What are the best videos/series on Deuces Cracked for a beginner?

I've been watching "From The Ground Up" by tubasteve, and I was wondering if there were any others that I should be checking out (Micro NLHE, of course).

Also, why does 6 Max > Full Ring?
