This guy is clearly spamming, his posts have zero content and he's made about 10 of them one after the other. See how people tried to get him to clarify his post about KK vs QQ and he ignored them in favour of asking another bunch of questions? This is not the action of a genuine noob.

No it wasnt clarified. You asked a pretty ridiculous question then just avoided expanding on what your talking about. What are you talking about? What do you want to know?

#1 how was it ridiculous?

This is an excerpt from my Well thread:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...n=&page=0&vc=1

I think most importantly, I know best how I learn. This is different for everybody. Getting back to cardrunners, for some people watching videos is an excellent way to learn. I know it's not for me.

Whenever you're going to learn something new, the most important step is picking the best way to learn. That's simply a personal matter of figuring out how you best absorb new knowledge and skills.

I know I learn best by doing. (tinkering, experimenting, making mistakes)

Next I learn best through discussion, the Socratic method, argument and comparing diverging ideas.

I also learn really well through reading (these last two are actually pretty close and can easily be flipped depending on the quality of book/discussion).

In particular, I do really well by combining these methods. ie: Tinkering with reference material handy. Or tinkering while talking about it. Or all three.

The least effective way I learn is through a Lecture. In school, classes and teachers were pretty much irrelevant to me unless there was really good discussion. I'd already learned everything from the books and working it out on my own.

This is different for everyone. Some people are really exceptional with one and crap at all of the others. Some are decent at all and have no real preference.

Once you figure out how you learn best, learning becomes an awful lot easier.

You asked would we get all in with KK vs. QQ preflop. I just dont understand exactly what your trying to ask, of course is it not obvious that you would want to be all in pre with KK vs. QQ because your a 80% favourite.

It's the action of a n00b who is so new he hasn't yet figured out how to effectively use a forum yet. Please be patient with him and give him time to learn to read and Search before impulse posting.

No. You're losing 3.03 big blinds every 100 hands. We have no idea what stakes you're playing at or the value of the blinds. If the big blind is $.05 then you're losing $.1515 every 100 hands. If the big blind is $1 then yes, you're losing $3.03 every 100 hands. If you're actually playing that high, you should move down in stakes immediately unless you hate money.

Is it a good strategy to raise with good hole cards with high blinds in a SNG and call in low blind play pre flop? this way, in high blind play you are taking a decent number of chips if you raise without having to deal with the ambiguity of the flop and have a good hand to fight back with if you get re raised, but in small blind play you aren't gaining much by raising and taking the pot pre flop (assuming the pot is unopened) but may be able to bait your opponent with a lower hand once the flop comes (or check raise pre flop).

Second question,

anybody know a good site that lists % chances of winning given your hole cards vs. a random hand? For example 72 off suit is 35-65, AA is 85-15, 54s is 41-59

I'm sure that such a chart must exist somewhere, but what you need is pokerstove. Download it and it will answer this for you, and a lot more.

Say I want to search for the term "value owning." How do I get the search engine to link the two words together so I dont end up with results for value and results for owning? I really am just trying to define the term as it is not in the dictionary post. Knowing how to do the search will be helpful as well.

I know this guy in this clip is a joke, but I believe that a program like this exists, could someone tell me which program caps the windows so they stick, so it's little bit faster/easier to move them? I'm sure he's lying that he made the program, he's just a troll, but again I do believe a program like this exists. Does anyone here know the program's name?

Well to be honest I do believe he did make those programs he speaks of. That dude is crazy, been around for a long time. Very smart.

The program that would be similar is called table ninja. www-dot-tableninja-dot-com.

Does Pokerstars FPP roll over EVERY year? Their VIP program just gave me free twenty dollars from playing from last year.
***** Official Dumb Questions Thread **** Quote

Yes, FPPs just stay in your account, providing you play at least 1 raked hand during the next year iirc.

edit: Yes it's nice to get stuff back, but it isn't really free. Basically stars gave you a small part back of what they took from you ...

1. Dunno, but I've heard a lot of people say a good player has the biggest edge in PLO right now.

2. The one they like.

Any thoughts on the best way (if any) to use iPoker iPoints? I can't find anything about them, all i know is I've been playing on ipoker for like four days and I've accumulated like 10K of them already.

Can I spend like 4 billion of them to get a t-shirt or something?
