Hello,
Recently, I was in a multi table fixed limit tournament. I was seriously troubled then as just about more than an hour after the tournament started, entries were gone, stakes went 50/100. I was in a new table with approximately 700 chips. Well, I was somehow behind in ... Click to read more

Hello,
I’m here now as I would like to ask two questions. I hope you have extra time.

Hello,
I’m not really serious about playing poker or even being a pro. I play just during my pastime. Well, I love playing online. As a player, I’m a tight type and if I don’t have good hands like ak, aq pocket pairs etc, I don’t get involved. In early stages, ... Click to read more

Hello,
Last night, I was in a 14 person NL tourney. I believe the players who joined were mostly average players, just one or two were really good players. The entire night, I was doing okay and was actually dominating the table. I played aggressively and was focused then on winning ... Click to read more

Hi,
Let’s assume that you played yesterday at a 10-player online tournament NL Holdem. Then at some point, you were dealt AA. You were clueless how your opponents play however you were thinking then that a big bet or all-in might be called by four players or so. You thought that ... Click to read more
