The people who play late at night are usually more hardcore than the people that play during the evening. In the evening you run across a lot of players blowing off steam from a days work, late at night you run into poker addicts and the quality of play is higher. The answer to your question .. yes.

Can anyone tell me a good betting structure?
Like when you want to suck ppl in the pot when you think u got all of em beat
or When your drawing to a straight or flush whateva

Englighten this nub!!!!!


My blind structure : preflop : AA-KK -> i tried a lot of stuff :
5 big bet early position,
7.5 late position.

AK-> 2 or 3 big bet to get some stupid hand out
Im not crazy about JJ and TT, because if i raise, only hand A to Q will stay and there is good chance i get beat.

when you flop the nut, there a bunch of thing you gotta look for : was there a preflop raiser? if so, check and let him bet. then
-reraise if you are not likely to improve and there is chances you get beat in later round
-call the bettor. Usually they got top pair and get piss off being called to the turn=raise the bet

if there was no preflop raiser, play it like you got something, but not the nut. like if you had the top pair average kiker => 2-3 big bet

omfg this $11 +rebuy Limit hold'em tournament is hilarious

you're better off buying in, sitting out, dumping all ur chips at the end, then rebuying twice to 3k and adding on 2k

wow this is sadder than sad

My point exactly ... you can run into a drunk late at night but you are better off playing in the evening.

two things that really make the difference between winners and losers

1. folding when you dont have the best hand. you really have to be able to feel out what the other guy has. If you have something like AK and a king flops, dont just assume you have the best hand, think it through and if your man is betting like he has a set, you might want to throw your hand away.

I could not agree with you more. In fact, one of the hardest things to do is lay down what used to be a nice hand when it is looking like it is not good anymore. The pro's will tell you this is one of the hardest things to do in poker. Only in poker does the person that comes in 2nd best actually comes in last.

if you can't look up on the turn and realize he has queens when you have jacks you shouldn't play them
