In Response to Re: Ask Tikay? : Hope this is right, but I think I can get 25 Assume opponent has 3-3 (both black) Other player has 9 10 Hearts Board shows 8 8 7 4 ( assume 8 and 7 of hearts) So the pocket 3's need to dodge 8 hearts 3 6's 3 j's 3 9's 3 t's 3 7's 2 4's Edited after BigBlusters post to take into account 3 H Posted by Aski
See What Are The Odds for an example of a 25 outer Posted by MereNovice
Was in the middle of amending my original post so it read as a true 25 outer before I saw this post from you MereNovice, but just looked at your thread that you linked too, some nice calculations there
hi tikay, ive only played live poker a handful of times ,and i still get a little confused when im announcing a raise . if the blinds are 100/200 and im the first to raise ,im fine ,i just say raise 800 .......where im getting a little bit lost ,is if someone has raised before me ,and i want to re-raise........for instance ,if someones raised it to 800 and i want to re-raise it to 2400 ,and i say re-raise 2400 ,does that mean 2400 plus the 800 {what should i say}raise to 2400 or raise 1600 to make it 2400 .........not sure if im doing things right ty ten

Wow, GREAT question, because many players who have played for years can't get this right, & it's VERY important.
Saying "Raise 800" is right, but it can be confusing, as that is the RAISE size, not the BET size..
The answer is simple, but think laterally. Turn the problem on it's head by announcing your intention, verbally, in one of two ways.
Announce to the Dealer, nice & clearly (don't worry about other Players, tell the Dealer),
"I MAKE IT 800 TO PLAY".
Or.....
"I Raise it TO.....". The word "to" being key.
I prefer "I make it x to play". "X" is the TOTAL amount you plan to make it.
Confusion always arises when someone says "I raise 800", when they might mean "I raise TO 800" or "I Raise BY 800"..

Not that Ive reraised too much live, but I would say for eg "I reraise to 2400 total"
just reading through this thread and noticed a few points that were raised (apologies this reply is slightly late) 1. making this thread (ask tikay) a sticky
if tikay does actually want to make this a sticky (as i know he doesn't always believe in their effectiveness) then i am 100% behind that. this thread is an extremely useful tool for new and existing players alike and tikay does a great job in answering everyone's questions. anything that is beneficial to the community is great with me.
2. adding new discussion groups/ boards
this is really easy to do and certainly a possibility. i am open to suggestions on this so if any of you have any ideas just post on this thread or start a new one with your suggestions
3. the amount of threads displayed on each page of the forum board
the reason we only have a limited amount of threads on each page of the forum is due to page load restrictions placed on us by the IT team here at sky. when we first designed and built the forum we had more but quickly discovered that is was/ could affect your page loading time.

As an initial suggestions under the strategy section, could we have child boards for Cash, SNG's and MTT's, so that anything specific to those games could be posted there.
Also a hand analysis child board too would be useful

Wow, we are all struggling with this!
I blame Orford.
bu having the board cards lower than the drawing hands pocket cards I can eliminate the split and thus get the extra 2 outs back.
Drawing hand is now 57-43 fav
i deserve a prize for this top question

When I played at home, on my own Account - yes.
