$2.27 is the min-raise, which on most sites would be the default raise which gets changed by the bet slider. I'm not at all familiar with the site so I have no idead how it should look but the big black area at the bottom right should probably have some kind of bet slider and/or input text box to type the bet? Seems like that's where the problem might be?

Within ACR, you can re-play any hand played aslong as you know the H# number.

DasPiff is me. Enjoy the degen play, my brain had a glitch but don't blame me right? (Sarcasm??)

Edit: LOL River, guy to my left does have me beat, but if I could have had the chance, I could have raised and possibly make the guy on my right fold? Then I could of got the lol R with a Q?

how do i open a merge account? i only see a 'contact us' option and that requires business information

Sick,

there are sub-rooms within the network. Thats where you signup. They are Called Partners.

You are on the page to sign up to create a new poker SITE, not an account to play poker !

You need to sign up with a skin on the merge network, such as carbon, rpm, lock, overbet, etc etc (there are many).

When I mark a hand to review later in PT3, is there a report or list of mark hands.
I can find them if I go into sessions and look through the list of hands. I can see the note icon beside some hands.

But is there a way for me to see a list of marked hands only

where is that option in ps that will close the table after clicking "sit out next BB" I completely deleted PS client and after installation it does not do it

in the table, you should see it in a check box or in a Play symbol like |> this..

I don't see anything like that there

Depends on the table theme you have as to exactly were the play button is. Most of them are sitting beside the Pot Size indicator, with the nova themes I think they are in top right of the table.

Close off your HUD aswell to make sure it isn't hiding anywhere underneath stats.

how do you PM someone?

Is there a thread addressing the best poker magazine out there?

How often do my 3x, 2.5x and 2xbb raise from SB (when folded to me) have to succeed for it to be an automatic +EV situation for me to be able to raise ATC?

By succeed i mean that BB folds to the raise, if i raise 3xbb and BB folds 75% of times i can keep raising ATC and it will show an automatic profit right? How is the exact math?

And lets say that BB has to fold 70% of times for me to have an auto profit when raising ATC from SB does this mean that when BB run 25/20 and 19ATS meaning BB is not positional alert it means that villian is going to fold 75% of times when i raise from SB? And he is the exact kind of villian that i want to target when doing this right?

If villian was 25/20 25ATS how often is this guy going to fold vs my SB raise generally speaking? Can i still raise ATC vs him even tho i know that sometimes he will play back at me (or call lighter) cus he knows the concept of position?

Also how is this working from BTN and CO when there is several opponent against me and not just one?

Thanks.

To calculate your bluff odds you use
Bet / Bet + Pot

So if you raise to 3bb on the button you are risking 3 to win 1.5

3 / 3 + 1.5 = 0.6667 = blinds must fold 67% for our bluffs to breakeven.

To roughly calculate how often both blinds fold you can take their individual Fold To Steal % and multiply them together. So if the SB folds 65% and the BB folds 75% then 0.65 * 0.75 = 0.4875 = ~49%. This isn't a perfect solution, as the behaviour of the BB might be influenced by the SB calling or folding, but it should get you close enough.

Just as a sidenote, it's kinda bad form to post the same question in multiple forums.

Vivek, you need to build a small decision tree to work this out. It's worth getting a spreadsheet and running through some numbers because EV calculations are a big part (arguably the whole purpose) of poker math.

If you bet 2.5bb from the SB, your net cost is 2bb, because you had to pay 0.5bb anyway. You win 1bb if he folds. Your breakeven point is BB folding 2/3 of the time.

Win : 2/3 x 1bb = 2/3 bb won.
Lose: 1/3 x 2bb = 2/3bb lost.

So you need BB to fold 67%+ to make raising ATC profitable. Of course some of the time you bet and he calls or raises you will win anyway because you have a hand and/or flop well.

Bear in mind that SB means you have the worst position at the table and if you start raising ATC the BB will catch on sooner or later. That's why you only raise ATC from SB until they play back at you and even then some villain types are really bad to do this with. Calling stations and anyone with a tendency to be loose-aggressive are not good choices. Multitabling nits are an excellent choice.

Because position is so important, you can raise a lot wider from the button than SB even though you have two opponents ahead instead of one.

So your BTN raise will vary from table to table but a tight range might be any pair, A8o+, any two broadway, any suited ace and SCs to 65s. And a wide range will be ATC. Whereas your SB range should look more like your MP or CO range.

Although that sounds reasonable, I actually open wider in SBvBB than BU vs SB+BB. The success rate is so much higher when there's only one player to get through (I'm running at about a 65% steal success in SB on Stars 2NL FR) that it doesn't matter much that I'm out of position if BB calls, as I'm check-folding most flops when BB calls and I have air.

Arty I think you will find that changes above 2NL. If you're getting away with it then obviously keep doing it, but you must have terribad competition for them to be folding their BB so easily to an SB steal. I can't think of a spot where I play more hands profitably then BvB (as the BB).

Ok not an actual poker question but a question about posting on the forum.

I want to start a thread and put an image on the post. I uploaded it to photobucked and put the URL in the insert image.

When I go to 'preview post', the image doesn't show. It just comes up as tiny little red cross on a small white background. Should this be the case or should the image show up fully on the preview?

Does the image need to be a particular format before you put it on photobucket? png, gif, etc?

I didn't want to post something referring to an image where there was no image and look like an idiot. So i'd rather look like an idiot on here!

Thanks

Yes.

No.

You're probably not using the correct URL. Just make the post here and we'll fix it and/or tell you what the problem is.

I was doing the same thing but I found they play back at you quite quickly and it's hard to compensate for positional disadvantage. That said if you find they let you exploit them, it would be rude and ungrateful not to do so.

Ok well here is the URL I was copying in

See where it says "IMG code"? Just copy that and paste it into your post, and you're good to go.

Yes. Something like this:

shows as
