you're seeing far too many flops ( if playing 10 handed tables )

also bet/raise precentages very low

summary, be more selective with your starting hands and mpore aggressive with decent ones

Muppetry of the first order

SB is getting 14:1 to call my all in but I can just about see his logic as if BB gets beaten he is in money

BB is getting 28:1 and has SB next which covers his remaining chips

mate had a nice one recently, entered a £4 satellite which he won and got entry to the £40k gtd touney

over 1000 runners and he won it taking £10,200

he had a verbal agreement with his mate that they would split any big wins, he paid up straight away

For the Liverpool crowd I saw an advert for a texas holdem tournament I think at the Stonebridge Inn on July 10th. I'll try and grab the phone number tonight on the way home.

Had a night down at DTD tonight

main game was a £50 FO, doing well , over double average stack with 62 left

get AA in early pos, raise 3x bb ( 600 ) , BB reraises to 3k , I come over top for 18k all in , he calls ( only bigger stack on table )

He show AK and promptly hits straight on river

decided then on a 10 quid donkathon which was satellite to a £750 event, 12 left and again I had Aces when there is an all in ahead of me from big stack ( par for the course in this one )

I call and he shows 67 off, 7 on the flop and another on turn

I'm taking up chess

Graaaaaaaaaandaaaaaaaaaad...

What does:

DTD
FO (I'm guessing not f*** off!)
BB (not bb, though just as a check does bb mean bigger blind?)

mean?

Boo though

You win some you lose some! Don't give up!

DTD (dusktilldawn) is the name of Europe's biggest poker club ( in Nottingham )

FO is a freeze out, where you buy in once and have no option to buy more chips ( though after what happened tonight your other suggestion isn't far off

)

BB is the blig blind

Here's a quick question - I'm currently doing cash tables a lot and breaking even after a major bad run the last couple weeks. I've noticed when I raise 3/4BB with AK and get called by one or two players I'm stuck on the flop (when I miss). Ideas?

I recently started betting about 3/4 of the pot and getting a lot of folds, but I know eventually it will blow up in my face when I get called - is it a good play to bet when you miss? (assuming I am OOP, or if I have position, that it is checked to me)
