The thing is, it's generally a -EV play.

Here's some calculations that can give you some guidance on it. The California bad beat jackpots tend to be about $40,000, with $16,000 to the losing hand...

If you are going to play no limit hold 'em, you need to carefully watch each hand. Note not only obvious stuff like whether they bluff rivers (which even fish notice), but also non-obvious stuff:

I am of the opinion that low stakes players should simply show every single hand at showdown.

Your opponents won't get any additional information (or if they do, they won't know how to use it),...

I will raise K7 suited on the button to steal the blinds. It's well above average and that's a +EV play.

After a single limper, it's fine to either raise it as an isolation play or call it hoping...

Tournament poker has ridiculous variance. This is the basic reason I am not a fan of people spending tons of money to play the WSOP. It's basically gambling because it's almost impossible to know if...

Regarding cliche's cooler-- it's very hard to get away from coolers in deep stacked games without good reads. Because you can't really go around folding aces up just because there is one possible...

Good job.

Bear in mind, all tournaments, even deep stack non-turbo structures, have tons of variance in them. (Ask Vanessa Selbst about what happened yesterday!) You probably have a huge edge in...

On the 99 hand, that board is really dry, which limits the amount of value you can get from your opponent's range. A ton of stuff is going to be folding to any aggressive action by you.

No limit or limit?

In limit, you should be looking for 3 streets most of the time when you think you have the best hand, because the cost of paying off a raise is not very high anyway.

I agree. Chan's statement is ridiculous, and lots of pros think that doing shady things is a legitimate part of their edge.

I will say one positive thing about poker players, though. And it really...

I actually think he was a bigger sleazeball in a certain way, because he's the one of them who cheated at live poker. Most pros at least conduct themselves honorably at the poker table. That's why I...

Obviously that rule's less important in limit but I've seen it matter even there. What players do here in Southern California is put the high denomination chips under a rack. And then someone assumes...

It's 87 suited, prox. That makes all the difference. I wouldn't do it with 76 suited.

Think of it this way. The raise isn't that important. Let's say I open-limped 87 suited out of position. Now I...

76 suited is too weak to play in the hijack. The lowest suited connector that captures its fair share of equity in a multi way pot is 87s. The button can add enough EV to allow you to make looser...
