Hand Discussion #12: No-Limit Hand Reading

Date: Wed, Mar 26, 2008

This hand is a hand reading exercise. I chose the hand because I think both players’ hand ranges are fairly well-defined by the river. What do you think are each players’ hand ranges? And how well do you think these players played their hands (obviously a somewhat difficult question to answer without knowing exactly what [...]

Q&A #102: Online Poker Multitabling How-To

Date: Thu, Mar 20, 2008

The first time I heard about someone 6-tabling online, it blew my mind. How on earth do you play six games at once? At the time, when I played online, I played either one or two games only. Then people were 8-tabling. Then 12-tabling. Now some people use simple, specialized strategies and play 24 games [...]

For the most part, I say let him have it. When you’re playing with $200 stacks, a measly $2 blind isn’t a [...]

Beware The Ides Of March Update

Date: Fri, Mar 14, 2008

The purpose of these exercises is clearly twofold: To lay the groundwork for formulating GTO solutions to [...]
