Can somoene kindly explain to me what the term "stack off" means? As in, I watch a lot of DeucesCracked videos and they consistently use that term as in, "I'm not sure if this guy is going to "stack off" or not". Does it reference his betting preflop? Postflop? Is it his whole stack (or a pot sized bet)?

Thanks in advance....I searched and found too many references with the term "stack".

Stacking off means losing your whole stack of chips.

Thx for the pokertracker link, finally found the guide!

Now, I have another question.

Tomorrow I'm going to deposit 500euro(800 dollars) to some pokersite, just don't know that where should I. Should I deposit it to Pokerroom ( where I can't get any bonus or rakeback?) , Or should I deposit it to FullTiltPoker? ( where I can get rakeback, bonus and stuff). In my opinion, FTP sounds really good, but I'm afraid that the NL25 is much more harder to beat at that site, than it would be at Pokerroom. I won't deposit to EverestPoker... Have only bad memories of that site :P.

Why don't you try to deposit on Pokerstars and clear the $50 first deposit bonus. Play 1c/2c until you can beat it and then move up. When you know you can beat 25NL, then you can get rakeback and move $600 over to FT and get that bonus. That's how I'd do it.

There are better skins to Ongame than Pokerroom for ongoing bonuses (have a look in the internet gambling forum (search for 'ongame bonus' or something)). Pokerroom does have a deposit bonus.

There are other networks and sites open to you (I assume since you are depositing in € and are considering Pokerroom) such as iPoker, Party and so on. Have a read in the internet gambling forum and perhaps check out sites such as http://www.pokerscout.com/ and http://www.bonuswhores.com/

People say 'One time' because there hand supposedly never holds and/or they never hit a flush or something. And they want this to be the first time. Don't say this term, it's very annoying.

I was watching a Full Tilt Poker tournament on TV last night where Phil Gordon finally beat Joe Sebok heads-up.

Throughout the game, Gordon kept announcing the pre-flop percentages and he was incredibly accurate. Was he using a formula to calculate these odds, or does this just come from playing around with pokerstove and being in this situation many times before?

Comes from playing around with PokerStove and being in the situation a lot.

Also, a lot of it is just memorization. i.e. AA vs. 99 is roughly 80/20

CTB - but it was incredibly accurate. Gordon wasn't saying its roughly 80%-20%, he was saying 67%-33%, 72%-28% etc. and the on-screen percentages showed him to be exactly right.

I know Gordon majored in maths, thats why I asked if he was using a formula to get these totally accurate numbers.

Was this all-in preflop? There's only so many different combinations there can be. Perhaps he has a formula, but I'd imagine it was just memorized.

I read somewhere that poker software records everyones hole cards in the hand history to prevent collusion, I'm curious to know how to read the hand history for absolute poker (made laydown in big pot, curious to see what the other guy had).

You also have to have been dealt cards in the hand to see what players muck.

Your Poker site can see whatever hands they like afaik. (they're the ones that are determining if it's collusion.

I attribute the negligible difference to AJ having greater straight possibilities than AK.

Are 10 BI swings totally standard when 20 big blind shortstacking? They give the same 20BI rule for shortstacking but my past ~5K hands make it look like 100BI is the minimum... I never really believed 20BI is OK but I did think that I should get by with my 50. -15 BI later (including a +10BI upswing in the middle) I decided I did not. Standard or did I get swonged exceptionally?
