Hello,
Assume that you are in a no limit tourney or a sit and go with 800 chips and with blinds 15/30. Then at some point, perhaps in the third hand, you see AQs and so you raise it up to 60. You then have several callers however they’re not the ... Click to read more

Hello,
I was in an online $50 no-limit tourney the other week. At some point, I was dealt Kd Qd while the blinds were 100/200. I remember I had 1800 chips while the BB had 8000, he was the table leader by the way. One caller appeared and so I ... Click to read more

Hello,
I’m here now as I would like to ask two questions. I hope you have extra time.
Do you think it is possible to let someone in into the game though it’s already late? Say the game is a home texas holdem game with additional buy-ins allowed.
