Here are a few hands which will show you new guys how to make some money .

2 of these hands are a gamble. 1 is a sure thing .

Its always better to wait for a sure thing , but gambling is fun and can be profitable.

This first hand is a big gamble , if the guy calls me Im probably beat. However I sensed weakness on the flop and he probably has a small pair or AK AQ AJ etc .. either way tough decision for him now.

Play hand

This hand here, I limp under gun which is not recommended by this site , however I limp under gun with a lot of small pairs so I decided Ill limp under gun with any hand now even AA or KK and hope for raise so I can limp raise which is obvious tell that I have AA usually . Always better to win without showdown unless u like bad beats.

Now the guy who moved all in must think I have small pair , bzzzzt wrong !

Play hand

This hand , well what can I say , mine for set, flop nuts, I knew he had AA , come on man bet turn with your AA dont try and trap me by checking to induce me to bet . He bets river I get it in , late position is always good.

Play hand

well thats all for now ... later

But seriously, how is this thread still open? Didn't it occur to the mods that beginners might actually follow this guy's advice?

Just wanted to point out there is absolutely no reason to close this thread. All members are entitled to post whatever they like as long as it stays within the forum rules and people are civil and polite to each other. This is effectively Grailer's blog, but he would be unable to view it if it was in the blog section (until he become bronze status), so happy to leave where it is.

We would of course always encourage players to start off on the suggested strategy guides which are mathematically proven/tried and tested, but members can take whichever route they prefer, especially with their own funds.

It's never a bad thing to think outside of the box sometimes and all discussion/analysing hands is useful. I'm sure Grailer is happy for alternative points of view to be posted and/or their own views challenged, just keep it respectful to each other.

Good luck Grailer, best regards,

Bart

LOL like im going to tell you so you can "reasearch" my play style. Acording to you im a losser anyway so it shouldnt matter. I play mainly on "Poker Heaven" But i can create accounts at other sites if needs be. I'll post my screen name on the day of battle a few hours before we start.


You also need to open a thread so we can all come and watch.

ok , smart guys .

Check out these 2 hands . Both are against same player.

First hand , terrible flop for me , I check , he bets turn easy laydown.

$0.01/$0.02 No-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)

Known players:
[tg]BB$0.62:///////;UTG1$2.16:///////;UTG2$2.78:///////;MP1$1.93:///////;MP2 (Hero)$2.00:///////;MP3$0.58:///////;CO$2.08:///////;BU$0.98:///////;SB$1.92:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with J:s, J:c.
Hero posts deadblind, 2 folds, MP1 raises to $0.12, Hero raises to $0.44, 5 folds, MP1 calls $0.32.

Flop: ($0.91) K:d, A:c, 6:d (2 players)
MP1 checks, Hero checks.

Turn: ($0.91) 5:s (2 players)
MP1 bets $0.65, Hero folds, MP1 gets uncalled bet back.

Final Pot: $0.91.

Good I hit my ace but is it the best hand ? I check behind him , he checks turn ( last time he bet turn with his ace?) , I now know my ace is probably good and bet, when he moves all in should I call ?

$0.01/$0.02 No-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)
Known players:
[tg]MP1$0.69:///////;MP2$2.00:///////;MP3$2.92:///////;CO$2.33:///////;BU (Hero)$2.00:///////;SB$0.50:///////;BB$4.79:///////;UTG1$0.90:///////;UTG2$1.91:///////;[/tg]
Preflop: Hero is BU with A:h, 5:h.
UTG1 calls $0.02, UTG2 calls $0.02, MP1 calls $0.02, 2 folds, CO raises to $0.10, Hero raises to $0.30, 5 folds, CO calls $0.20.

Flop: ($0.69) 6:c, A:s, 2:s (2 players)
CO checks, Hero checks.

Turn: ($0.69) 8:h (2 players)
CO checks, Hero bets $0.49, CO raises to $2.03(All-In), Hero calls $1.21(All-In).

River: ($4.42) 6:h (2 players)

Final Pot: $4.42.

Results follow:

CO shows two pairs, jacks and sixs(Jd Js).

Hero shows two pairs, aces and sixs(Ah 5h).

CO wins with two pairs, jacks and sixs(Jd Js).

Hero wins with two pairs, aces and sixs(Ah 5h).

Having position is very powerful for gathering information in both these hands. Now no one recommends re raising with A5 , but I did this to isolate the player so I can take him heads up where I can use my superior skills at heads up to beat them .

Yes, that will be done (I love how grailer has just ignored my last post).

Grailer if you want a real rep then beat 2 out of 3 of us: ie: Ihufa, berzerger and Me.

Come one lets do it...When and where?

This is how you play draws .

Play hand

And this is how you beat maniacs who raise my blind with 79

Last time I voted freedom of speech and the right to express an idea was still allowed .

Freedom of choice is allowed too , the choice not to click on the link where the thread was started by me .

That being said maybe you should offer some ideas / reasons etc why you think my style is wrong and we can discuss this so beginners can make their own decisions .
