What is considered a solid 3 betting percentage?

This hand occured just recently on PokerStars, I'm JimmyChances and the villain is Jolonpoika.
This guy was a bit of a rock and for a long time had VPIP 7% and PFR 7% stats, at this point it had upped to
VPIP 14%
PFR 13%
i hadnt seen him bluff at all up to this point.
His Limp call from the small blind suggested weakness but his raise on the flop was anything but, but ...

This question is for Tim as I believe he is the only follow Torontoian on this board.

Do you play any live poker, if so which casinos do you prefer and why.

I have tried live poker at Casino Rama but since they only have $1/$2 and $2/$5 NL I doubt you would waste time at such small stakes.

My experience has been live poker is a totally different world than online poker (mostly in ...

I caught Matt's post about him specializing (making a living) off of heads up sit n go's and I had a few questions about his personal experience with such games.

Coincidentally, last month I decided to focus on this particular type of online poker format. I enjoy facing and dissecting only one opponent at a time (although it can be mentally draining after an hour or so).

So far I have played approx. 150 HU ...

Up to video#20 in the formula to success series and it's already turning me into a winning player.

However, one thing I'm finding is that short stacks to my left look to push at every opportunity (especially if I've just outplayed them for a juicy pot), so more marginal raises first in seem to loose there value. Should I bite the bullet and call with what appears to ahead of their range, or fold pre-flop ...

After playing 20k hands NL25 and winning 13bb/100 hands i decided to move up to NL50. But after 6k hands i lost 8 buy ins! I really don't know what's going on, it seems to me that the players are even worse then in NL25! And after those 6k hands my $EV is even +69 dollars... Does it mean that I was just terrible unlucky? Or what does it mean? Hope u guys can help ...

Hi All

I am probably seeking some comfort in asking this question but i do think it poses the question in general, was this a good or bad fold. I keep telling myself it was a good fold, but nagging thoughts in my head say i should have called. Also, the villian in this case had only played a two hands so i had no read, but later on in the session i noticed his ...

I've been using holdem manager on full tilt but recently signed up to betfair and party poker but cant seem to get the hold em manager software to work with the 2 new poker sites. I've added the party poker and betfair handhistory to the auto import folder like i did with full tilt and checked the box to save hand history on both of the sites, like i had to do with full tilt ...

I'm new to the whole "rakeback" concept, so I'm hoping someone can clarify how one gets payed on it. Do they add it to your bankroll at the end of each session (if so, I'm not seeing it)? Or does the affilliate you go through hold it until you redeem it from them?
