If the player to the left or right of you is not protecting their hole cards and you can easily see them. Can you be penalized by the floor in a tourney or cash game if you get caught?

Standard here is to not try to look, but if you can't avoid it give the guy a courtesy warning. If he continues to show them to you there's not much you can do...

Too many to list here, if you hang out in the tournament forums here you will undoubtedly run into many.

Does anyone know what poker network is Ultimate Poker part of?

I thought this site is one of the biggest poker sites (most traffic), so I'm also interested why they don't even have a Wikipedia page and also cannot be found on http://www.pokerscout.com/.

I started playing 0.5/10 cents and started with a Bankroll of 20 . ive built it up to 280USD now. should i move up to 0.8/16cents. i usually buyin min. but i find 0.8/16 cents stacks usually are quite deep. Do you reckon i should start buying in max? and move up?

Should your range get tighter when you're facing a raise preflop, and what should it be?

Say I had A5s on the BTN. If everyone limped, I would usually raise, but should I call a normal sized preflop raise of say ~3.5-4bb, or should I only call with stronger hands? Let's assume all opponents are unknown.

Yes, absolutely.

It depends. (The answer to this is a chapter, if not a book in itself)

I'm almost always folding there - A5s is a junk hand. But a raise (squeeze or shove if you're short) may be appropriate in some situations.

Huge difference if this is full-ring, 6-max, or hu. Or tournament vs cash (and tournament state). And relative stack sizes.

Why is there a difference between wholesale and retail prices?

How often can a "good" player expect to cash in a 45 man SNG?

Also how often in a MTT of say 300 players?

a good player is not concerned about how often he cashes, more about how much he cashes for

Which game has more variance: cash PLO or HU SNG (NLHE)?
Is mid stakes HUSNG played only for rakeback, or it's common to play it for normal profit?
