One hand I always get confused by is when you get to the river and you have 4 cards in a row or of the same. What hand do you have?
I guess that one was for Rich, one for Ryan is triple range merging. What does this mean?
Thanks
Matt
just a normal sky poker hand eh?
Just style it out, nobody else noticed.
By the way, Richard, I did not know that I inadvertantly named myself after a dwarf. I have few dwarf-like features apart from my sleepiness and dopiness.
And it's nice to have a chance to (hopefully) ask some noddy questions without being flamed for it (too much)... Apologies for the lack of lol's in my two queries, but the couple of things I'd like to ask in respect to cash tables are:
1 - When a short-stack goes all-in with a multi-way pot, why on occasion can I only call the all-in, rather than re-raise to either isolate or try and get more value from the other (large) stacks involved in the pot?
I can understand this in live games, having had a few home games where it becomes a mare to keep a separate pot for the short-stack and another for the other players... but would have thought the computer wouldn't have this same problem!
2 - When bet-sizing on cash tables, should I be factoring in the 'pot' based on the pre- or post-rake amount?
Ie when playing heads-up and both players have put 50p pre-flop, as a 2/3 continuation bet on the flop, should I be betting 67p (2/3 of the £1 we've put in the pot) or betting 60p (2/3 of the £1 pot, less the 10p rake).
I always size mine based on the latter, but if I click the '1/2', '3/4' or 'Pot' buttons on the tables it bases it on the former - should I be using some common sense to assume that I am therefore wrong in my bet sizing?
What do you think of my line? I check the turn cos villian is decent and has been floating a lot of my cbets and trying to take it away on the turn (either that or he always has it!). I also don't think he will give up on the river if he has air.
Big pot, Line check, villain is loose agressive but what do you think he has? (good if you block his hand)
Can we keep calling...
hi richard i need to learn when to change gears coz i play mid stakes mtt stt and go well for first half hour but after a while i start to lose my stack is this due to people reading me and learning from my play or am just not very good at poker coz really hard to tell not really lost nowt but not won much either any feddback would be nice have a great show rich and ry !

Anyway, I think pre-flop is standard. I wasn't sure about leading the flop but four-handed with the draw-heavy board I couldn't be sure that the pre-flop raiser or anyone else would bet. Does a check-raise look more bluffy, or is the donk-lead fine?
On the turn, I lost my customer and I assume he probably had an overpair. Did I lose value by getting too aggro?
EDIT: It seems you've had a few other hands posted in the meantime. Unless they're really boring, I'm not fussed if you don't show mine.
hi guys hope you have a good show what i struggle with is bankroll management i always play to high and ending reloading 4 or five times a night what would be best stakes for a thousand pound bankroll and i always struggle with tilt ino you can always run qauds into straight flush and theres no getting away but donks with these 4 2 off against your aces really frustrates me and i just wanna throw the laptop out the window should i just turn computer off ps great show guys !
ive allways been intressted in POKER LINGO but never ask, here are some you could test ryan on (see if he can get them all right too)
Big "Chick" - Refers to holding an Ace and Queen as your two pocket cards.
Ship It - Same as "send it." Phrase exclaimed by the winner of a big pot. Most often exclaimed via the chat box of an online poker game. Has sarcastic, obnoxious overtones and could infuriate your opponent!
Bicycle - A straight that is A-2-3-4-5.
Steel Wheel - A five high straight (A-2-3-4-5) of the same suit.
Thirty Miles - Three tens.
Walking Sticks - A pair of sevens.
these are the few i didn't know when starting out in poker, is there any the two of you didn't know when you started out in poker.
where does the term donk come from and why is it an over used excuse for losing
I find it difficult to understand how golfers earn obscene amounts of money for hitting a piece of concrete wrapped in rubber around a golf course then become A list celebrities.
When professional poker players have to concentrate and grind significantly longer yet no matter how big their success continue to be considered by most outside the game, as chancers with dubious character.
I too think they should be considered as mental athletes.
great show again just want to ask ryan has he took a big jump up in stakes lately and will he ever be back at my level for a game or will i just have to grind up to your level
p.s. does ryan have a group of mates he talks hands and strategies with and does he think it helps his game?
thanks drrungood
