A Tale of Two Players

Some years back, I wrote a column about the exact same hand (Q-J suited) being played completely differently when dealt to me twice in three hands.

Managing Your Game Style

A Time to Check

Conventional wisdom dictates that you generally follow through with a bet on the flop after raising preflop. Of course, knowledgeable/observant opponents know this, creating lower bluffing value when you missed the flop and making yourself a check-raise station for those who flopped a hand. You...
