    For the Next Hour I'll Answer all Poker Questions

    Qualifications? Okay:

    Poker dealer for two years. Been playing live games (mainly pot limit/limit cash games and large buy-in tourneys) for 15 years.

    Holdem, 7 Card Stud, Omaha, 5 Stud, Razz - you name it. Mainly HE, 7S and O though.

    Oh, and I came 7th at the Webmaster Poker Tour

    So, ask away while I finish this pot of coffee and get ready for another 28-hour work session.

                  No idea. Nothing to do with poker.

                                  In a straight game, five cards in sequence of the same suit: for instance,

                                  5h 6h 7h 8h 9h

                                          He is seriously one of my favorite players to watch...but I guess it would be dangerous for him to come out of the closet..probably wouldn't get invited to many big money cash games if he did.

                                              I've always liked watching Howard L. He's one of the few pros who still post in alt.rec.gambling.poker.

                                              I was glad to see Doyle Brunson do well in this year's WSOP as well - the old school players are generally being left behind by the "dead money" players lately. They're catching up in knowledge and ability.

                                                      What do you do in a multihanded pot, when have pocket aces and the flop brings 2 cards of the same suit.

                                                      UTG goes all in and 3 players call.

                                                      It's your turn. Holdem or Foldem ?

                                                          Alright.

                                                          You're playing in a multi table NL hold em tournament. You're down to 6/6 2 tables. The final table is the only table that gets paid. You're are sitting on the button and look down at pocket rockets. Frst Pos leads out with with a blind size all-in, fold, fold all in position to your right (possibly a shut out bet). In order to call the bet you will have to risk all your chips. Even though your chances of winning the pot are extremly good.

                                                          What do you do call and pray? Or fold and hope all-in gets busted out?

                                                                      UTG goes all in and 3 players call.

                                                                          You're playing in a multi table NL hold em tournament. You're down to 6/6 2 tables. The final table is the only table that gets paid. You're are sitting on the button and look down at pocket rockets. Frst Pos leads out with with a blind size all-in, fold, fold all in position to your right (possibly a shut out bet). In order to call the bet you will have to risk all your chips. Even though your chances of winning the pot are extremly good.

                                                                          What do you do call and pray? Or fold and hope all-in gets busted out?

                                                                          Again, need more info - what was the buyin and what is the lowest prize on the ladder (10th) that I can realistically think of playing for?

                                                                                  Yeah I was pulling for him as well. Regarding the dead money players..I don't think in all cases it's that they have more knowledge or ability..I think they just don't know how to bet, or when to lay down and it's confusing the shit out of the real players.

                                                                                  For instance in one showdown between Hellmuth and one noob the guy was drawing dead on the flop..Hellmuth already bet into him the guy calls...on the turn he's still drawing dead Hellmuth increases the bet into him *if I remember correctly he was holding a pair of Jacks* and the guy calls...finally on the River the guy pulls out a queen to make a pair...Hellmuth just shook his guy and said.."You kept calling me the whole time while drawing dead?"

                                                                                  At another time...Hellmuth got up and walked to a camera guy and said something like..."these guys will bet on anything."

                                                                                  LOL I see the same thing on PartyPoker all the time. People just betting and betting non-stop and not having a single pair in their hand

                                                                                          Not at all. I firstl learnt how to deal, then how to play. I'd been playing silly wildcard games all my life (my father was and still is a weekly high-stakes pot limit player), but until I deal Holdem in 1989 I'd never heard of it.

                                                                                          Improving skills is something that takes time, but you can do it while playing. Keep a running total of the pot at all times. Work out the rake, the jackpot drop.

                                                                                          Above all, always PAUSE for a brief amount of time before burning and turning. In that pause - ask yourself "Have I forgotten anything".

                                                                                          It's just practice.

                                                                                                  You're playing in a multi table NL hold em tournament. You're down to 6/6 2 tables. The final table is the only table that gets paid. You're are sitting on the button and look down at pocket rockets. Frst Pos leads out with with a blind size all-in, fold, fold all in position to your right (possibly a shut out bet). In order to call the bet you will have to risk all your chips. Even though your chances of winning the pot are extremly good.

                                                                                                  What do you do call and pray? Or fold and hope all-in gets busted out?
                                                                                                  Not a pro..but I'm gonna answer this to see if I get it right...it would depend upon the pot odds...chances are slim that he's got the same hand and even if he does it could be a split pot...I would personally would call all in..with there being a 3 way flop if say the other 2 players each had an Ace in their hand that just improves your chances that they can't beat you..however depending upon their flop could give them an edge on a straight draw.

                                                                                                  I'd go all in....at that point you're trying to have as many chips as you can take to the final table and that's the only way you're gonna get them.

                                                                                                      The board is 7h 8h 2c

Regarding the dead money players..I don't think in all cases it's that they have more knowledge or ability..I think they just don't know how to bet, or when to lay down and it's confusing the shit out of the real players.

                                                                                                                      For instance in one showdown between Hellmuth and one noob the guy was drawing dead on the flop..Hellmuth already bet into him the guy calls...on the turn he's still drawing dead Hellmuth increases the bet into him *if I remember correctly he was holding a pair of Jacks* and the guy calls...finally on the River the guy pulls out a queen to make a pair...Hellmuth just shook his guy and said.."You kept calling me the whole time while drawing dead?"

                                                                                                                      At another time...Hellmuth got up and walked to a camera guy and said something like..."these guys will bet on anything."

                                                                                                                      LOL I see the same thing on PartyPoker all the time. People just betting and betting non-stop and not having a single pair in their hand

                                                                                                                      That's what online play has done for the live game. Online is so vasly different to live, I quit online because it was effecting my live game.

                                                                                                                      Online is like bingo to me - stick your money in and see who wins. There's very little information you can get from a person who's nothing more than text on a screen and an empty picture of a chair, so you have to play a solid odds game to do well.

                                                                                                                      The swings online killed it for me in the end. They were way out of wack for even the most liberal stanard devation, and that got me paranoid.

                                                                                                                      It can happen in live too. Played on Friday and sat at a table where I instantly knew I was the best player. One guy, maybe 25 with racks of chips was capping raises pre-flop with any face card or an ace...

                                                                                                                      Needless to say, he left about an hour later missing some of those racks.

                                                                                                                                                          Never think of money in that terms while playing. It will make you do the wrong thing.

                                                                                                                                                          Again, if there are a lot of large stacks at the table I will go for it there and then, because you can be damn sure those big stacks are going to take turns bullying people out of pots, and I need to win against them to survive.

                                                                                                                                                          If the chips are all medium stacks and the big stacks at the other table (and I'm one of the medium stacks), again it's a strange situation but then I might (and it's a big "might") wait it out.

                                                                                                                                                                      Same thing when they go all in on a hand that's a 4 to 1 dog to yours.....you're going to lose that hand 1 time out of 5, and end up on the rail.

                                                                                                                                                                      In a cash game losing a hand like this would give you the information you need to bust this guy later on.....but in a tournament you have to be lucky AND good to win.

                                                                                                                                                                      Moneymaker and Raymer would go home broke if they sat in a cash game with the likes of Phil Ivey, Howard Lederer, Phil Hellmuth etc.

And those newbs that do get lucky early on and catch a rush usually give it back before the hit the money.

                                                                                                                                                                                          Be very careful what you believe from ESPN's coverage. Last year there were a bunch of questionable hands that were covered and didn't make sense. It turned out they edited the footage to what the *losing* player said they held (Howard L said this happened twice on his non-cam table).

                                                                                                                                                                                          They got a very bad name last year because of it.

He's a pretty cool guy, though. He's a member of a poker discussion group I belong to that meets on Wednesdays. He doesn't make too many meetings but it's cool when he does. Right after he placed second on this year's PartyPoker cruise he showed up at our Wednesday meeting in sweet new car/toy he picked up with some of the profits.
