Kenny, when are the next WPT and/or WSOP qualifiers going to start up again? Can you list dates? Thanks

Asked by Rader75 on Sep 11.

 
We don't have any on the schedule right now. We've changed the VIP reward tournaments to cash and have them once a month now.

what are the rules for winning a low hand in Omaha hi-lo. Recently I lost a low with an ace,2,4,6,8, to an Ace,3,4,5,8 for low. kind of don't like the game bbut it may be i don't know the rules. Thanks for the help

Asked by koho on Aug 31.

 
Yes and 8 5 is lower than a 8 6. You take the lowest 5 cards of each players hand. Then the player with the lowest high cards wins. If you both have the same high card you go to the next highest and so on till someone wins or you tie.

what are some good ways to play small pocket pairs and what will help me read people and hands better?

Asked by dallascolts on Aug 20.

 
Small pocket pairs are tuff hands to play sometimes. It depends on lots of things: What position are you in? How many others are in the hand? Was it a raised or limped pot? How much money do you have on the table? How much money do the others have on the table? If you start asking these questions while you play, your read will get better and better.

Asked by joesquabman on Aug 17.

 
Yes but no. The player has the option to put in just the bring in amount or they can bring it in for the complete bet.

How do I use Express Fold and what is it

Asked by VaRoseman on Aug 12.

 
Thanks for the question. I must say, I love the express fold!!

It keeps even the best players from getting that disease often found in online poker (that costs players their tournament life) called “click-i-dadis” also know as “playing too many hands”. While it’s not perfect, in the early stages of a tournament it works very well, especially when your playing multiple tournaments.

For the first few levels I would keep it very tight pocket pairs of 10’s and higher as well as AK, AQ to be played from any position.

In middle to late position depending on the action in front of you pocket pairs 6’s and higher and AJ, A10, A9 suited, KQ, KJ, other hands I like are the suited connectors 45-JQ.

Now there are always exceptions if most of your table appears to be using express fold then start stealing but if they play back be careful they have something.

Kenny....Oh Great one! At Holdem... Assume I'm delt a pocket pair. Before the flop, what are the % odds of making a set before the end? I think that after the flop odds are about 8% of hitting before the end. And after the turn... about 4% of hitting on the river....am I close on these. and please answer the first question. Thanks

Asked by MOX on Jul 17.

 
7.5% before the flop and you're correct on the others.
