I read on broodwar.de about pokerstrategy.com and just signed up, cause i played poker a lot with friends, but never wanted to invest money in internet poker.

I got the 50,01$ (thx for the 1 extra Cent :) few days ago and started playing, playing, playing, cause i have a lot of free time at the moment. Im playing SSS and after a few ups and downs (~40$), i reached 68$ today, after i finished 4th place yesterday in a 100$ Rookie Freeroll (6$). I got the 100 Party Points 1-2 days ago and hope my rank will get updated soon, so i can read the silver articles and watch some videos.

And i have a question about the SSS, it says, that u should bet 2/3 Pot if u got trash at the flop and u are against 1 opponent, who didnt bet. its the same if u have to bet first against 1 opponent, isnt it?

Here is one of my hands:

What should i do, if i dont hit the Q on the turn ?
btw, i was a bad guy and played AQ in early position

0,05/0,10 No-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)

Flop: ($0,95) 7♠, 3♠, 7♣ (2 players)

Hero wins $3.66 USD with two pairs, Queens and Sevens.

yes, it's the same if you are out of position :) This specific bluff is called a continuation bet, and is quite profitable.

Congratulations on the results so far by the way - keep going :)


Welcome Quickben. :) I can't say much to the hand because I have no clue about tournament play. *g*

Which makes my statement not wrong because someone with tournament skll would have seen that it is a cashgame. *lol*
