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 [...]

Let’s say in a cash game at a local card room, with 7 players, blinds 2/3. The players at the table were known for being tight and agressive. In front of me, a few hundred of those players. For an instance, I’m UTG with AQs and raised to $9. Then, folded to button who re-raised [...]

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.

Hi, I am new to no limit holdem and I’m now thinking of something. For an instance, after everyone has been dealt 2 cards down, and the individual to the left of the big blind raises, do you think both the big and small blinds if they want to see the flop should add an [...]

Hello, I’ve got something in mind. Supposing, I’d be playing with a few of my friends soon. Then, during the bet, one of my friends would check, eventually the next person would raise, and after which would get back to him and then would actually re-raise. What do you think, is this something possible? I [...]

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 [...]
