Do you have to act third or be UTG 3 in order to pull off squeeze play. I read that player who acts first raises then gets called and the third player either re raise or shoves. Is that how it works?

You can get the basic functionality with your iphone or your pc. There must be some voice memo software out there that would let you do this easily.

You have to be the third (or later) player who chooses to act during a hand, with the action before you going raise/call/call/call...etc.

Thank u fozzy

Does anyone have any suggestions for the best resources for completely new to poker and poker rules beginners? I only know more advanced material and I've got a friend who wants to learn but know barely any poker.

Google a basic poker ruleset and have them learn the important bits. Have them play a few hundred hands of playmoney nl. Answer any simple but good questions they have. Then set them up with one of the "basic" beginner guides (like blackrain's CTM) and gogogo.

Something like this, anyway.

That's my current plan, I am using poker blueprint also, even if I imagine it's quite outdated, but I was hoping there's like a more useful compendium for that.

I want to upload graphs from my pc for a thread on 2+2. How do I do this?

Photobucket or other image hosting sites.

if i have a microstakes roll for 25NL (and feel pretty comfortable at this level, at worst breakeven), would it better to play on WPN for the deposit bonus/rakeback or switch to stars? also if I switch to stars would it be better to play zoom or normal ring? what are the pros/cons of either?

hmmm I have this fight with myself when wanting to play poker.

I enjoy PLO and understand the risks that come with it, but my brain says play NL to learn properly then go to NL.

But isn't it better to just learn and PLO if I enjoy that more?

Key issue with my game is thought process, I think call or fold rather then going through the process of hand range vs mine

How to post pictures, embed videos, change avatars, and more

Do some math. You can calculate your expected winrate + rb from playing on each site. This will also be a good guide to determining zoom vs regular ring (you will have different winrates in each game and get differing numbers of hands/hr), but I think enjoyment probably factors in more importantly on that front.

First off, fixed your post.

Second, and more importantly, if you aren't going to be playing Texas Hold'Em and will only be playing Omaha, I would not bother learning THE as while the two might both be poker games, they are different.

Hey Doc yea sorry NL Holdem vs PLO.

Would you rather be all in preflop vs one player or vs four players early in a tournament?

What would be the ideal amount of players you prefer to be all in.

Early in a tournament my ideal number of players would be as many as possible

if i have aces, all of them

Hi all,

I'm currently trying to analyse my hand history a little better.

I have this Board and hand:

9s8hKd4h3s

Ks5h

My opponent shoves on me and costs me $5k of my $6k stack to win a total of $8k. I have top pair, but he could easily have trips or two pair. He called all my bets on the flop, turn and then i checked river and he shoved.

PokerProTools says:

board: 9s8hKd4h3s
Hand Equity Wins Ties
Ks5h 85.05% 839 6
** 14.95% 145 6

I'm almost 5-1 to win against any random hand. I ended up folding the hand, but I'm unsure on how to analyse these tricky spots where I feel I have the best hand.

Any tips?

a tip would be to post an actual hand history

Assume all stacks are equal to S. Then based on the equity results you showed, against just KK, the EV is 0.82*2S-S = 0.64S (ignoring blinds and antes). Against 4 opponents the EV is 0.44*5S – S = 1.2S. So, on a strictly math basis you make almost twice as much against 4 opponents. However, the chance you bust is 3 times that of facing 1 opponent (56% vs. 18%).

If it is early in the tournament and you feel you have an edge of the field, you might not want to risk busting out at 56%. If it is late in the tournament and you feel your opponents have an edge on you then the risk may be worth it especially since you quadruple your stack. With unequal stack sizes it gets more complex with side pots. ICM can also be important late in the tournament.

if you can tell me where there's enough drooling idiots whereby going all-in pre fourways with aces is a -EV move i'll quit my job right now

Sorry!
