What's the best way to get out of a downswing?
Seriously, since January I've been running so bad it's unreal. Before anyone thinks this might be the usual rant it's not. The site AIN'T rigged & I'm fairly sure Sky don't hate me, lol. Seriously though, whilst I'm nowhere near being a great player (I'd say maybe average at best) the last 6/7 months I can't seem to do…

When to shove blind/ with any two?
I was in the 500 freeroll on fri and at around the one hour mark I found myself with exactly 4bb ( those blinds sure rise fast, eek). I was on the button, action folded to me, and without looking at my cards I shoved. Sb folds and BB strangely calls approx 60% of his stack with Q3. It turns out I had 63, he hit a Q on the…

What are you supposed to do..
In Response to Re: What are you supposed to do..:I seem to have lost quite a few hands in this way - so I really am seeking to pick up some subtle tips here. I know playing out of position is always difficult, so I guess I could have checked the flop hoping to check raise, but my thinking was that with 4 of us in I didn't…

I hope that people continue calling me like this...
My bad luck continues, have AK off suit in BB, blinds at 15/30 action: fold fold call SB -raise all in for 500 Hero - re raise all-in for 1700 Villain (had 3k chips) - call SB shows 99, Hero shows AK, Villain shows A5o board brings down 9 x 5 x x So the shortie SB triples through and I'm knocked out. I re raised as I saw…

What's the point in raising?
In Response to Re: What's the point in raising?:Oh also, hes called your 5xBB raise and is calling all your other bets... to me that might suggest he has a bigger ace... maybe AT or AJ and is happy just to check call to get to showdown, so was you not worried when he was calling you down?

Pls comment on how I played this hand
Playing in an MTT. Blinds are 150/300. I have 6200. About equal with two others on my table. I have AQ suited in BB. All fold to button who raises to 800, SB calls. I see an opening to get 2000 for free and increase my stack by one third so I push all-in. I have both covered, but button by only 600. Button calls and shows…

This is one for you Tikay regarding last nights sleepstack. What are your thoughts?
The scenario is this. It's the midstages of the tournament. A 10 seater table with blinds of £100-£200. I have roughly £6000 chips and am on the small blind or button (can't remember exactly) with pocket nines. Mickjenn1 is 3rd or 4th to act with a stack that covers mine by about 500 chips. He raises up to £800, a little…

Up chip creek without a straddle
Please excuse my novice question; but I've only been playing 'live' Poker for a few months now (as opposed to my usual 'dead-as-a-doornail' Poker)... and recently came across someone who announced a Stradde. I immediately folded in case it meant I had to put my house keys on the table. Can someone please explain exactly…

Satelittes into live events covered by in poker
I dont know about anyone else but I really enjoyed following the sky poker players in vegas. I think it would be good to do this a lot more. Give sky players a chance to play in the live events around the country that "in poker" cover. There could be online qualification and the winner gets a package very similar to vegas.…

Sitting deep, turn an absolute monster...
This is from a hand I played on Friday night at local £1/2 casino cash game. I'm sitting with a stack of around £450 at this point and my opponent is sitting with around the same. I get QQ in mid position, 1 limper so far, I raise it to £12, SB calls as does the limper, who is a WILD fish. Flop comes down 8h9hQh. SB…

What have they got?
It's a live cash game - No Limit Hold'em - £1/£2 blinds. At the start of the hand, all the players involved in the action have about £200 in front of them. We're in the big blind. Action is folded round to the button (young, aggressive) who opens with a raise to £10. Small blind (old timer, bit of a rock) thinks for 30…
