Also, can someone please explain Hand for Hand play? |
Re: FFR poker league -ongoing-
yes. you can play with micro stakes or whatever you can afford with the money in your account. hand for hand play is used on bubbles of large tournaments so that every table has to complete the hand before any table moves on. prevents shortstacks from slowplay folding their way into the money.

This is why it's important to consider how plays fair across a massive sample of hands before trying to determine if it's a bad play or not. Sure, Tom got his money in terrible here, but Tom has been a winning player in HU NLHE for a long time and shoves like this are pretty common. In the long run, shoving TT in a spot like this thousands of times with those stack sizes is probably about break even. Most of the time when called, he'll be slightly ahead. This combined with the fact that he gets a lot of hands to fold here compensates for the times he gets called by higher pairs. However, in addition, it makes him way harder to play against, makes him very unpredictable and changes up the meta game, which leads to ways to exploiting his opponent in the future. Hence, the play is pretty standard. You can't just sit back and play like a rock in a HU NLHE game. You'll lose money, and a lot of it. It's completely different from 9 man ring games, or even short handed games. This is indeed why HU NLHE is by far the hardest form of NLHE, especially if it's deep stacked. As such, I'm wouldn't recommend rubix dwell on this hand for too long. You don't have enough experience to learn to play heads up properly right now. It's way easier to start with 9 player ring games. |

i play a lot of omaha, 5 card hi lo with a $20 cap on bets and plo. we usually play with 5 cards. 4 handed $1/1, 5 card plo. i have ~$220 behind, button has ~$250 last night i was sb with A2heartsJ99, button was tilted and straddling every hand. $3 straddle i raise to $10 straight, he calls hu to the flop flop j22 two spades. i lead out $17 he calls turn 6spades. i check he bets $31, i raise $52 more, he snap calls river 4 (very blank). button goes "only hand that can beat me is pocket jacks" as i ship it for $106. he goes to the tank, keeps saying only hand that beats him is jacks and i start to believe he really had sixes. god damn i was so scared. i had just reloaded for $200 and i was losing 2 already so i did not want to bust and be stuck $400 at 4am. he called, and mucked. said he had a flush and thought i was semibluffing a naked deuce or aces. |
Re: FFR poker league -ongoing-
Jae - you need to set up another schedule! Throw some mixed games in there while you're at it. ;)

Re: FFR poker league -ongoing-

Re: FFR poker league -ongoing-
DO IT. Razz is awesome.
|
Re: FFR poker league -ongoing-
I would like to play razz because I need to improve that game...
better yet some 8 game or horse. I suck at limit currently. |
Re: FFR poker league -ongoing-
lol all i know how to play is holdem, 5 card draw, and omaha.
|
Re: FFR poker league -ongoing-
Gotta learn them low games, man.
|
Re: FFR poker league -ongoing-
nah don't need to... holdem is where all the money is made. omaha occasionally.
|
Re: FFR poker league -ongoing-
Yeah that's definitely true. I just want to learn how to play limit cause it's another form of poker and I love poker ;) Limit is such a different game, I feel like it might be less interesting but that might be because of lack of a sturdy game plan.

Re: FFR poker league -ongoing-
