Yup! I see how to type them now! AK

Thank you!

When can we send pvt msgs?

It's hidden in one of the stickies, not too hard to find if you look at the *** READ THIS FIRST!!! *** thread.

Hello, out of the loop for a few years.
Anyone remember which free software similar to pokerstove where you could put in a range vs all possible hands and it would tell you odds of all hands vs the range in a descending list with the percentages like
AA 87.0
KK 75.0
...
...
32o w/e

flopzilla

can also try equilab which is like pokerstove

Hi, I was left confused as to why the 3Clubs 8Spades won over the Qspades and Qdiamonds

Isn't the hand on the right side the one with the biggest pair?



EDIT: Two pairs beats one pair.

Yep, biggest pair only matters if they both have two pair.

Hi,

I've been playing on GGPoker for 2 months now, struggling in NL5, NL10. Between 8 to 12 tables.

I've noticed (though unsurprisingly) that the number of tables I play, even within the frame mentioned above, affects my hand selection more than expected; I tend to play looser.
That combined with the usual digesting new poker education (everytime I study, I instinctively incorporate what I just learned) that also harms my play short-term, even though ultimately it improves it of course.
In other words, I still need to know myself better regarding basic training... Maybe take some time to FINISH incorporating newly acquired information, find ways to make that process smoother etc...

Can you guys tell me about how to make those general adjustements optimally?

I'll keep browsing the psychology section, it has to do with that too.

Thanks, Regards!!

My opinion is that you are playing too many tables for a beginner. The fact that you say you play more hands with more tables is not optimal. Generally, more tables means play WAY tighter.

Try 2-4 tables at a time..... 2 better than 4.

As you're learning and making a lot of adjustments I would concur with King Spew and highly recommend you don't play more than 4 tables and to focus more on quality rather than quantity.

Thanks for the replies guys, indeed I need to get a clearer picture of the whole, as usual I overcomplicate things. Focusing on quality first, quantity second.

Where do people play low limit LHE these days online?

The time shown on posts is an hour later than where I am at. How do I set the correct timezone/daylight savings settings?

I've noticed in a number of postflop spots (cash) that the correct action is often to check or bet big. Could anyone point me to a good resource which explains the reasoning behind this.
Thanks.

That question is unanswerable. You're basically asking "how do I play poker?". You need to be more specific, provide a line to critique, something. Other than that, 2+2 is a good resource to learn those things

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. From what I have found out it was to do with board texture, on certain (wetter, more connected) boards the larger and less frequently solvers elect to bet. Hence the 'check or bet big' from my original post.
Apologies for the poorly constructed question and lack of context.

Not sure how dumb this is, but back in the day there used to be a BQ social thread, I don't remember the name. It's been a while and I'd like to see if any of the old names are still hanging around. Is there still one?

I don't believe so.

Hope you've been doing well.

Welcome back, TDA

As Brokenstars said, there are only a few regs from a decade ago remaining. Maybe there are a few that only lurk.... but I think that after BF, most simply stopped coming around.

The LC/NC threads disappeared around the same time.

sad times

glad to see a couple of names at least

See the image in the attachment. The flop is 3c5h9s. IP has a pair of queens, and OP has 3h5c. OP has a 75% advantage, but IP has an equity advantage of 82%. Don't there a tiny cross here, or how can equity be bigger for IP when in terms of probability, he should be the underdog here?
Thanks

i have no idea what that image is meant to show, it's meaningless. elaborate on what point you are trying to make with it please

That's a graph of the range vs. range interaction, which I'm assuming is moot because the BB shouldn't really ever have 35o.

Also, you would type out of position as OOP. OP stands for Original Poster. "don't there a tiny cross here" also doesn't mean anything. Maybe you can try retyping your question or giving us more information from where you pulled this.

Hello, I have a question about raising in NLHE. I'm a beginning losing player. I really don't understand raising in general. I heard of the concept, small hand, small pot so because I can always get beaten by sets or 2 pair why raise? E.g. if I have top pair top kicker on the flop, what the point in raising someones bet if they can have a set or two pair? Don't I just want to get to the showdown and see if I'm good?
