What did they say when you asked this question in the HEM Support Thread?

Finally found the perfect question for this thread. Could someone explain this rule to me, as to why I can't re-raise there? Had this happen a few times now but not 100% sure how it works.

A hand history would help, rather than a link to an image (just post the image in future for better results), but someone has probably underbet jammed which hasn't reopened the betting to the previous raiser as it's not a full raise

Between two opponents, each with their own range, is there a way to calculate who has range advantage on any given street, ie. just on the flop?

I don't want to calculate equity to showdown. I just want to determine who has range advantage on a given flop.

Thanks.

Why just the flop cards? Seriously...what advantage do you have knowing the answer to just the flop equity?

You ask a good question in the right thread, don't be sorry you're in the top 1% of new posters.

Hi,
This may not be the correct forum, but here goes:

I'm still learning hold'em and I need a good (any) app for android and/or windows that shows the outs in a hand i.e., showing hero's cards, villain's cards and the flop/turn cards?
I know there are several good pot odds apps, but I want to be able to see the outs.

Thanks

In the Equilab you can access this information through the menu / Scenario Analyser.

Was having a discussion with a buddy and I pointed out that if you played NLH with no antes, blinds, or other forced costs, then you would only ever play AA. He asked for someone other than me explaining this and I was unable to find anything on google. Is this written out somewhere?

This makes sense as without anything to win, why would you ever bet with anything else?

Potentially dumb question here, I'm playing ignition zone poker where the entire player pool is completely anonymized. I'm trying to develop population reads using HM2 based on my HH and the hand replayer is giving me VPIP stats for each seat based on the entire DB. Do these VPIP stats automatically rule out hands where I did not get to see appropriate action for the position because I fast folded ahead of time? Or are these stats skewed by incomplete hand information as a result of my fast folds?

I agree, but that's not enough for him. How can I "prove" this.

For you to justiy opening worse than AA your opponents would have to be getting in there with worse and handing free EV to your opens.

So you open because it's +EV, get action from opponent whose decision is -EV (has to be cause zero sum).

Eventually he realises he's making -EV decisions and that he needs to fold those hands (cause 0EV>-EV ldo) and play tighter to make money.

Because he's now playing tighter and only getting in with hands that will make money vs your opening range it means you need to tighten up and ditch opens that are not +EV vs his tighter continuing range.

Now some of his continues become -EV so he tightens up again and ditches those losing hands from his continue range.

So now you tighten up again, then he tightens up again etc etc until at equilibrium you both only have aces in your ranges.

Idk how to prove mathematically if that's what your friend wants lol.

Honestly I wouldn't, and keep playing with him while he is under the impression 67s is a good hand because it can flop straights.

Any advice for someone new playing in America? I've been playing micro SnGs and MTTs on Global Poker and I would like to start studying/putting more effort into improving.

I think this is too general for you to get many helpful replies. Can you be a bit more specific? Do you want to know what sites are good? What resources you may want/use for studying?

If not drink more water.

Site advice and good books or paid resource recommendation would both be helpful. I've read harrington on hold em and some internet stuff and I understand basics like pot odds and different play styles (tight vs. loose). My problem is a lot of things written about playing micro stakes online offer advice based on HUD stats so I'm not sure what would be most helpful for playing micro stakes on a fairly small site with no HUD.

Seriously noob question:

Friend is getting into poker. Played some live cash but no online. Wants to know where to play micro stakes cash these days. I've recommended 888/Unibet/Party. Have I missed anywhere?

Also which of these sites allow HUD use for 6-max cash?

How do the payouts of a heads up MTT work when there are a weird number of players (for a small example - what if there were 6? or 15?) Are buy-ins partially refunded, PP altered somehow, or do certain randomly selected players just get byes?
