well this ended up a massive fail :(

If any of you play on entraction/b2b (that's sites like 24hpoker and devilfish + 20 or so more) let me know!
 
Isn't there a really good poker player on Urban75? Didn't they win a seat at some massive competition in Vegas?

I'm a newcomer to the game. It's a great game, but I'm still at the learning stage.

By the way....

Answer me this please.

You are in the money in a competition ranked about 30th out of 35 left. You are Big Blind holding a K8 off suit. The small blind has been nicking your BB throughout the tournament. Everyone folds, the small blind raises. You have a good idea they are trying to steal with a sub standard hand.

Do you?

a) fold b) call c) raise all in
 
i would never ever play a k8 unsuited.

Odds are that your up against an ace or at least something higher then a 8 so you will only have three outs at best.

If you feel you have to play it beacuse your getting bored of losing your blinds do a little raise(say double/triple the blind) and then fold if he raises you again at any point if you dont hit a king or two 8's drop.

In my opinion likes. k8us is a shit hand a really really shit hand. hell even if it was suited i wouldn't touch it.

i think drjazz was the best player on this here site.

Depends on relative stack sizes I guess.

Do you have enough to make him fold (i.e he's not already committed and your shove is big enough to give him bad odds to call with any two), do you cover him or the other way around, what's the ratio between your stack and the blinds?

I'm a cash game player mind. Tourneys aren't my specialty.

depends on stack sizes.

but you would never call.

either raise all in or fold.

but if you were certain he was trying to steal with SFA then definately all in

Unless you used to be idaho i never played you therefore you havent beaten anyone that matters.


dave

I beat Idaho tho!

your next!

Yep. called an all in with Q8 off suited........

We'd been playing for about 2 or more hours. We were both at the wrong end of the leaderboard, both had got at least 3 times our entrance money, but it was piss poor poker all round. :D

And the Queen showed her face on the turn. :rolleyes:

Download http://www.pokerstove.com/ and type in q8 vs any two cards (like AJ).

You'll be surprised.

In fact, you can look up your exact situation here: http://www.pokerstove.com/analysis/allin.php. Ok, it's not exact because it doens't have a chart vs random raiser.

Without knowing stack sizes he may well of had the odds to call. But judging by the fact that rela had folded a lot he should well have taken the tight image into account.
 
The top one is great. It calculates the odds of a given hand against an opponents specific hand or range of hands.

thing is, on the occasion I was talking about, Q8 off suit.....

I would have lost with AK AJ A10 JJ 1010 or any other lower pair.

Will have a look at the site when I get home.

You have to be prepared to lose alot
