Hello, I’m now bothered about the two very interesting hands I played just recently. Well, the game was $2.5/5 NL Hold’em. At some point, there was a very hand before the other one which I raised on the button to $20 with A-J. I got three callers for it, thus making it a multi-way pot [...]

I’ve been having bad beats quite often since last week, particularly when playing KK pre-flop. Because of this, a question has popped out in my mind the other day. In your opinion, do you think it is wise to go all-in or call all-in with all my stack? Or just fold and patiently wait for [...]

Hi, For a year or two, I’ve been playing poker. Well, mostly I play online. For a bit I know about position and odds. I haven’t yet encountered a serious problem actually. But just recently, I’m starting to be bothered by a serious problem that has something to do with my friends who are starting [...]

For about three years now, I’ve been playing poker live as well as online. Well, for three years, I admit I’ve played tightly, smartly, and aggressively.

Hi, I have something to ask. For an instance, there were four players playing any round, and the first bet $10, then the second raised to $20, the third called $20, and the fourth player who is the dealer called $20. What do you think, could the second player re-raise after the first has called [...]

Hi there! I have two questions for you. Hope you can find some time to answer them. When is the right time to make side pots? Is it actually at the end of the betting round before going for the flop or when there is finally someone all-in? Let’s say player 1 goes all in [...]

There was an incident in a game which I’m really concerned of. It’s something about the blinds that were 1600/3200. Considerably, the 3200 blind was called by three people. Eventually, the last person went all in with 4800 and the next player yearned to call and placed in 1600. By the way, he was already [...]
