Hi there! In a certain no limit tournament, we were down to 5 players from actually 20 players. As far as as I can remember, we were two there who have almost the same number of chips. Well, I had 85 of clubs back then. Fortunately, I was given the chance to see the flop [...]

Hello, Recently, I played with some friends. It was a fun game actually, but I’m bothered. I don’t know if I played the Ace Jack suited right. Well, instead of the typical raise that most people would put in with this hand pre-flop, I called the big blind with this hand. I called because I [...]

Hello, I’m wondering if in spread games, is it possible to be the big blind though I don’t have sufficient money to put it up? Say I have $500, but the big blind is actually $1000. What do you think? Should I just leave the table as I cannot buy-in? If so, what will happen [...]
