You’re playing in an online game of Texas Hold’em. You’ve been dealt Jh-Th. What do you do? Do you limp in? Do you raise? Do you fold? To figure out what to do you must consider your position at the table. You must also know the odds your hand could improve into something, like a flush or a straight or something else. The problem is that you need to make your decision quickly, and you’re no Stuey Ungar, and even if you have a relatively good calculating mind, it may be tired and losing focus.

Solution to problem: Pokerbility.

Another late one last night. I started off around 9:45pm playing a freeroll limit tournament at PokerStars, and then at about 10:15pm I switched to a no-limit freeroll tournament still at PokerStars, where the top 27 players make it to the next round, in another tournament on a different day (thank God), where there is $1000 for the winners to split.

I also find that the freeroll limit games in tournaments move way too slowly, and I’m always amazed at what players bet and call with. It’s like a play money game to them. Not my cup of tea.
