Free Money!!
Just hit up Party and look for Dodoubled on the $50NL Hold 'Em table. This guy is DYING to give his money away. Please, come hither. I heard he likes to play when he's paying no attention whatsoever, dead tired or otherwise doing 50 other things at once. He's thinking about changing his screen name to SlvatonRmy to reflect all the donations he's supplying to other people's accounts.
 Jesus Lord almighty. One of these days I'll learn. Anyhow, on a more serious note, a couple of questions: 1.) What are some good ways to play when you've flopped an open-ended straight draw and flush draw (17 outs, I believe, which technically makes you a favorite)? I know different situations call for different things, but I was just looking for some feedback on how you guys approach that situation. You can even cite your own examples of how you played certain hands, and why. 2.) What are your Top 4 sites, and why? I'm going to try Ultimate Bet and Full Tilt, but right now I have Stars and Party downloaded. I think Stars is a better overall program with better tourneys and such, but for some reason, it slows up my computer a bit, whereas Party's connection is excellent. |

I'd play that open ended straight along with a four flush extremely fast. You are a favorite over a lot of the possible holdings of your opponent, but it is still a draw. If you miss on the turn, you become a dog.
Top 4 sites 1) Party 2) Stars 3) Full Tilt 4) (Big drop off from the top 3) Bodog |

The open ended straight plus flush draw is actually only 15 outs - don't double count the same cards
 8 for the straight + 9 for the flush - the 2 we already counted for the straight = 15.Regardless, in a multiway pot, you want to get as many bets in the pot as you can. The same goes for heads up, but especially multi-way. You'll play this differently depending on your position, who had the lead preflop, and so on. For example, assuming there are 3 players in the hand and you are first to act: -If you had the lead prelfop, go ahead and bet. If there is a raise, you should reraise. -If Player #2 had the lead, you should check. He'll bet, #3 will call, and THEN you should raise. -If #3 had the lead, you should bet, which squeezes #2 (and hopefully gets a call out of him), and then if #3 raises, you can reraise and really put the pressure on #2. See how that's maximizing the amount of money going into the pot for each situation? Top 4 sites can be found on my list here: The just so happen to be the same 4 you listed... |

I actually only deposited $300 in there (it was at the beginning of my online poker experience). It was definately not the easiest bonus to clear. I think it took me about two months to clear. If I had to do it all over again, I would have waited until I had enough of a bankroll play at least 3/6 LHE. That is about the minimum for this bonus to clear at a reasonable rate if you are playing cash games.
You should check out bonuswhores.com as they tell you how fast a bonus clears. |
