Playing a DYM once you have cashed
How do you play the end of a DYM tourney once you have cashed? I know some like to just shove all in each hand until someone wins as they have achieved their goal (i.e. cashing) but I prefer to play on to win even though I dont get any more money but some players seem to get quite annoyed when you do this. How do you play…

Help with odds
Hi, I've recently got quite into poker and I was wondering if anyone can explain a bit more about odds. A couple of questions: 1. I understand that each card is worth 4% on the turn and 2% on the river. Should you alter this % depending on the numbers of cards that have been burned? 2. Pot Odds - I'm not sure if I…

Advice and thoughts of a hand I played before
I was playing on Poker Stars before on a Hold'em $10-25 NL table with about $14 at this point. I got dealt Ace Jack suited. Someone raised it to $0.50 and someone called this. This was only a small raise and i thought my hand was not amazing but pretty decent so raised it up to $1.50 to see where I was placed with these…

Tips for MTTs when deep stacked and blinds high
Ive been playing a lot of MTTs (mainly $11) on PS and seem to do really well until the blinds get to about $500/$1000. Example tonight being I was in top 6 (from a 4000+ runners) from about after 2hrs (10 min blind structure). I try to stay tight and not get excited with average hands and try to put pressure on the small…

Spirit of cricket in poker?
Imagine the situation where I am holding top pair after flop. I have A8 and the flop is 8 high. I am against one other player in this hand, and it is a DYM game. They are first to act on the flop, but they let the timer run all the way down and they are automatically checked and appear Away. Now I think they have been…

Jacks
Okey dokey, first things first. A discrepancy in the way you reported the hand: In Response to Jacks:blinds 50/100... I raise to 300... given I'd raised 6x the big blind. Posted by S1DEWINDER Something doesn't quite add up there! I remember seeing that the pot was 1025 on the flop, so in that case I will presume that the…

Any advice please!
I'm not the most experienced player on this site, so it's a very open question because as the heading suggests I'm only after a little advice from you all. Playing a deepstack tournament, is there a specific style you should adopt since you have more chips and blind levels increase slowly? Or should you just play your own…

AK Vs AJ in the early stages of the five00
I had AK suited in the big blind about 2300 chips behind. There is a min raise to 100 under the gun from the big stack at the table, just under twice the starting stack and has been playing aggressive poker. there is a call from the button and the small blind folds I shove allin, a bit tilting. The big stack instantly…

BSB play
Scenario: everyone folds round to the button and everyone is deep-stacked, say 100 big blinds. No-one knows anything about anyone's play. BSB = Button, Small, Big. How often do you think the button should attempt the blind steal with a 4xBB raise? How often do you think the small blind should participate or just get out of…

Approaches to the game
There are limitless different methods to playing poker, which ones do you use? I don't necessarily mean whether you're Tight Aggressive or a Maniac, but do you like to use as much math in your game as possible, like Chris Ferguson? Or are you a read-dependant and feel player, like Daniel Negreanu? Or, are you like me, and…
