weirdman22 asked:


I play no-limit texas-hold ‘em poker with my family. Most of the players don’t know how to play (just bet big when they have a pair or they bluff with a low pair) and there are only 2 players that know a little about poker strategy and I really need some money for a laptop I wanna buy.

So how do I win? I usually get to the top 3.

icochea1 asked:


I played for like 4 hours and the best hands I got was QQ and KJ after that I had nothing good. Kept getting 9-2 or 10-4. What would you do in a situation like that? Bluff a lot? I bluffed some hands and won cause of my tight image but still. My money kept going down since I didnt win much.

Do you think god helped him win the poker tournament because he’s donating some of his money?

Alcohol not a factor asked:


“I’ve seen the miracles of God with my own eyes,” Yang said. “I did a lot of bluffing also.”
Yang said before the final table began that he would donate 10 percent of his winnings to charity.

Two poker math questions?

dunhate235 asked:


You are getting 2-1 when you are need to 3-1 to call. Lets say someone bet 20 into 20 and you need 3-1. Is there some super fast way to calculate this?????

#2- You have ten high and you just know its no good (yes im that good). However, you feel like bluffing. You bet 50 into 50. Would you have to win 33% of the time for this to be proftable if you asssume your hand has no showdown value whatsoever?
For question one , i want you to know is there a super fast way to calculate how much i need to earn in the future for it to be a profitable call.
“but it isn’t, it’s about what you think your opponent has and how much you can earn from him based on how much you think he will pay you off for if you hit your hand, which also takes into account your opponent’s skill and reading ability”

Im not asking how you determine how much you think you can get off your oppenent. This is obviously very read and player dependent. What im asking is how much more money you need to extract in the next streets for the call to be profitable.
For example, in the example i gave, you need to get 40 more on the next two streets to make this a profitable call if you are currently getting 2-1, but your draw is 3-1 of making by the turn.
Sabes.. could you tell me how many times your bluff has to be sucessful when you bet half the pot (3-1).
How about when you bet 3/4 pot?

POKER: Always up, then lose. WHY?

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

Bob asked:


LOL ok “always” is a bit much. Last night was the 3rd game in my life I have played. I played Texas Holdem with 5 other guys. Anyway, I am still learning but the past couple games I was up at the star and before I knew it, all my chips were gone and I didnt even notice.

Should I fold more at the start unless I get similar suits, or really high cards like Ace and King? If I get a 3 and 7, different suits for example at the start, should I always fold that?

Also I have no guts LOL! I am scared to bluff, not so much cuz of the money but cuz I want to keep playing and having fun. Yet a couple guys seem to always bet big.

I lost $50 and feel guilty, like I threw away money but I had a good time. Should I feel bad?
