If there are 4 spades on the board, one of them an ace, and 3 players are in the pot with one spade card each, it doesn't chop? Who would win?

I have looked around around numerous posts for an answer to this question with various findings. So here goes about shared accounts or seperate accounts? I have (1) account on PS for awhile and have one account FT and not palyed at FT for long time. Started reading 2+2 and wondering about my stuff. Me and my wife both like playing live and online, but it sounds like it is against the rules to let wife play on my account? So how do you get around that? If she had an account it would be the same IP as we only have 1 computer and 1 modem. I have often thaught she should have her own account just incase she won a package entry into turnament or some kind of promo. can you set up different accounts from the same house?

What to do??

can someone direct me to info?

at stars it is against the rules to share an account, but i'm pretty sure having more than one account per household is not a problem. http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28...sehold-110746/

just e-mail stars for confirmation and they'll be fine with it. also ask them the rules about playing at the same cash tables and tournaments.

don;t know about ft tho.

Hello

I'm looking for some extra motivation and would like some insight regarding some volume prop bet ideas, possibly running to the end of the year. I play micro-low stakes NLHE and 4 table at most. I have used the search function but haven't found anything useful. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated and anything I haven't included that you might need to know, please ask.
thanks

2 accounts on the same IPa are fine. Just don't register for the same SNG . Lots of people share computers, but stars doesn't want them all sharing accounts. If you play against each other a lot, it will show up on their radar, but otherwise, you're ok.

I don't have links to info, but you can email support@pokerstars.com. Stars support is awesome.

You always have to post the big blind the first hand you sit in.

online, that's always true as far as I know. Live, sometimes you can sit down and start playing from middle position without posting a blind. That's the way our home game works. If you tried to play a couple hands and leave before paying the blinds, we'd object, of course, but nobody is going to do that.

you see the reason, then? online, or in most casinos, they don't want people freerolling a couple hands and then leaving. You have to "pay" for your orbit before they give it to you.

note that if you sit out the blinds for any reason, you'll have to pay them when you get back. If you miss a complete orbit, you don't have to pay for orbits you missed. [ok, usually you don't. in a tournament you do, obviously, and some live games make you pay them, as well]

I have been at it online for about 6 weeks now. Started really strong, but seemed to be getting busted out on the bubble in 4th or 5th place in SNGs bad lately. I feel like I have more and more fallen victim to my tight play early on and been forced to go all in on hands I would rather not. Any suggestions?

Also, I have been educating myself and mixing it in with play, trying to improve, but my ability to decide EV on a pot at that particular time before the buzzer is probably my number one weakness (that I know of). Can anyone tell me if there is an easier/quicker way to figure this (tools which are legal during play) or do I simply have to learn and memorize "scenarios" to be able to figure this out in 30 seconds.

What does value bet light or value bet thin mean?

Just stupid question:
when I look over at http://www.pokertableratings.com/ful...earch/Isildur1 it states -$2,6m.
Can you go into the red on your FTP account? I can hardly imagine that when Isildur had 0$ left, went to the bank and deposited 2.6m and lost it.

Can anyone explain please

It means making a value bet when you have a hand that's not very strong but villain is likely to call with a worse hand anyway.

That's basically it, except that to start playing at high stakes he would have already had a sizable amount of money in his account and that's where some of his loses came from. ie; he might have started with $2Million in his account and run it up to almost $7Million before crashing and burning, possibly reloading six figures at a time along the way. Who knows....

Read the STT Forum.

You should routinely be stealing with junk hands when the time is right (ie; bubble, against tight players) it's just part of the game.

Hello.

I've recently (as of yesterday) started to multitable a lot more (went from 6 to 24 tables). I'm stacking the tables and use TableNinja, so far so good.

I like the pace of the games that way, but I have one question:

Do you usually put some tables away when you're playing a big hand and want to see the result? Or do you just make your decisions, and review these hands once your session is over?

Looks like one way is more result oriented (that's what I'm doing), and I think it does hurt my focus to play 24 tables at once if I get suckouted big time.

I'd like to hear what others are doing...

Thanks!

Yes, but usually I'm putting tables aside because there's information I want to glean from the hand. ie; I play DoN SNGs and when I want to see someone's pushing or calling a push hand I'll put the table aside so I can see the results and adjust my read on their ranges. In other words, "WTF did they call that 3bet with..."

also asked this in the Software forum...

Hey,

I'm having a lot of errors with HEM etc. and want to just re-install everything and re-import everything.

If I uninstall HEM can I re-install it with the same ID Code provided to me when I purchased it without re-buying HEM?

Sorry for noob question but I suck at HEM.
