Have people been playing “40% strategies” in tournaments in the current century? @RaduMurzea I like that AJ just beats 97, you know it's like 65 to 35 right? Also kill phil is a pretty famous book in a sort of series, Kill Phil, Kill Everyone and Kill Elky. Kill Phil is a kind of out of date introductory book of strategies for beginner players to be able to play effectively against what was then the typical seasoned tournament player i.e. phil helmuth |

Do I call a turn all-in with KK with against a possible flush? Am I reading this correctly that the blinds are at $1,$2 and the villian preflop raised to $25 a 12.5x raise? |

Determining the proper play on the turn @DonkeyFish Also just because you don't cash in one tournament doesn't make you a bad player! :) |

Determining the proper play on the turn @DonkeyFish i would disagree with saying that the cbet is called 80% of the time here, I think it is much much lower than that and if people are calling your cbet 80% of the time that is pretty exploitable but that might be a discussion for another thread. |

Determining the proper play on the turn @DonkeyFish I would have the opposite reasoning with AQ pre, it's not an absolutely amazing hand and I'm out of position so whilst you maybe don't want to be building a big pot you want to thin the field and get information to help you play the difficult hand. Also why don't you want to cbet on a J62 flop, in my opinion that is a bit of a dream flop to cbet on it's really missing most peoples ranges! |

Determining the proper play on the turn @DonkeyFish Sorry I misread that, yeah that popping it up to 2500 was what I would have done in this situation I suppose. |

Determining the proper play on the turn I agree, I would just shove all in but I really don't like how this hand has been played up until then |

Determining the proper play on the turn I agree with Gaz Winter and Radu that the limp and call are kind of weird. I think not raising pre-flop is a large mistake here. I could also see an argument for re-raising on the flop or donking out. The hand is played so passively and really the cut off/button have such good odds they could be playing anything, same for the big blind |

What is the odd of hitting flush when you have nothing @Tomáลกล íma I imagine that they mean 4 suited cards on the boards to be used with one of your off suit hole cards? |

Considering Weighted Ranges That's not really what I am saying, I mean if I'm reading in a book that Joe opens with 10%+ and suited connectors range and in the same book I am reading about balancing your range why is it unrealistic to expect that the combine the two and weight the range to better reflect the actual opening range? |

Best playing style for MTT's what do you mean by "that itself is sub-optimal"? |

How should I play blind vs. blind late in tournaments against unknown players? any option for folding or are you always just going to try to see a flop? I think that is probably -ev but small to big is a situation that I spend a lot of time thinking about and I am nowhere comfortable with it. |

Short stack play - best way to deal with it? "If you're a larger/leading stack, you don't tend to want to take the chance and call the bluff of these kinds of players in case they luck out and you lose your lead over something like that" this seems a bit strange, If you have a big stack you should be lookng to get in ahead, people sucking out is part of poker to fold hands because you are afraid that you opponent will suck out is massively -ev |

Short stack play - best way to deal with it? @Bogdan I am a bit confused as to what you are trying to say that the gap principle is here, what do you mean by "the difference between high and low cards" the gap principle usually refers to the difference in hands that you will open with and hands that you will call with.? |

Considering Weighted Ranges I'm sorry but I have to disagree with what you are saying. When I am taking about weighting the range its not about the likliness of the hands being dealt it is about the likiliness of the player playing the hand in that way. For the second point it seems that you are more just taking about ranges and I disagree with what you are saying but its not really relevant. Thanks for the replp |

Mathematical Derivation of the Chen Formula @Imorin Yes, clearly 76 will perform better against some hands, and saying that we need to look at it against a range of hands is kind of obvious but I am interested in specifically what the chen formula is measuring. For example we could get it by simply testing each hand against a suitable range of hands looking at its ev and then grouping it. But I don't know how the chen formula is derived and until I do I won't know what it is really saying. The example is just a naive example to show that the chen formula is not measuring hand strength in an absolute way (which is clearly not possible) |

Easy to remember push/fold/callpush table/formula @RaduMurzea I'm sorry but that is the sort of poker thinking that was prevalent maybe 20 years ago and the game has somewhat moved on. Using various "formula" is now a big part or poker theory and play and is very +ev, once you start thinking about things in a range analysis sort of way you are starting to get a bit more serious about poker and wil need maths all the time. Moreover being predictable is not always a bad thing, if you are short stacked you will be shoving a certain percentage of hands- not doing this would be unpredictable but in this situation massively -ev |

Difference in strategies with stakes? I think when you say stakes you mean blinds, the stakes for the tournament are always the same, its the buy in, in this case nothing |
