LOL.
Alex and I have locked horns a couple of times and there have been several steal/re-steal/re-re-steal tussles.
If anyone was going to make this post it was going to be you mate :0)


Oh, and min-raising is perfectly fine. Read Harrington on 'probe bets' and you'll never agree with TiKay again.

I think every one should play their own game.If one played to strict rules the game would become boring.
You pay your entry fee, you take your chances.

Should be interesting.

The fact is that Tikay is simply wrong. TK advocates betting or raising 'to find out where you are' but TK often recommends betting too much. Often a min bet (or a 'probe' bet as WSOP champion Dan Harrington calls it) will elicit just the same information as TK's big bet.

Now TK has NEVER admitted that maybe, JUST MAYBE, he doesn't know it all and maybe he could be wrong. I really like the guy and think he's an excellent presenter (certainly miles ahead of that Orford bloke- lol), but maybe he doesn't have all the answers.
(Tikay, no bitterness that you rubbished my forum opinion on air, honestly,...no honestly,... no why should I take offence,...no seriously...no, I'm not having a go...)

See you at the tables.

Haha, what a stupid thread. Minimum raising is brilliant
