Another Biscuit

I think rake free split pots should be standard in any online game.
Happens in NL as well, when there is a nutstraight on the board but ppl just shove paying extra rake

I really can't wait to see how it looks and feels, i have high hopes in that regard.

I think when you can take away the annoyances from pokerstars, while having great software and service you have a good shot at this.

Then the only other thing is marketing, marketing, marketing.
Somehow these crappy sites still get some traffic,
but their marketing budgets are probably big.
I hope there is financial backing to do such.
From the Podcast it sounds like Phil is a big believer in reinvesting earnings,
that approach will definitely help.

Anything is possible, it won't be the first time some major player loses big chunk of market share.

Will it make sense to include features like, straddle, seven deuce game ?
It will prob make rec lose faster but it may make the game more enjoyable so that they play for longer, come back etc.

you mean trice ?

This is so awesome Phil.
Thx for doing this whichever way it go´s!

I think you guys are doing a good job in the UI department here at RIO so i expect nothing less from the poker site. This will give you an edge over many (reasonably big) sites with terrible UI.

I think you just got too much know how about how poker works,
that this gives you a big edge as well.
For example Amaya is clearly not getting its not so viable for 2/3 strong players to be table starting when they pay the same high rake 6 handed w a fun player.

This will make the product very strong, the UI will be good (i assume) and its run by ppl who understand poker. So all the annoyances for pro's but for fun players as well will be eliminated. Think of the high rake table starting, the endless stalling in tournaments near bubble time etc.

I only hope the marketing department will be strong on this so that it ppl will come.
This will be a big challenge as well as it looks like a hard thing to do in 2017.

Best of luck!

Not too thrilled as CO should be quite tight in this spot.
You are x/r into an already strong range so its kinda meh imo.
I guess the plan is to barrel down allot and try to make him lay down AQ+ which is usually hard to do live but if you think hes capable then perhaps its good.
Depends on your image as well.

Nope diddnt work just gave general advice :P

Aggressively and with allot of heart!

Fold allot of A7,A8 here some AT

A mixed range is best here.
So leave some strong hands in your call range to 4bet with.

Its basically like a bvb spot when its folded to the SB in a ante game.

unkown fun player

His stats indicate its a fold.
The limit indicates its a stackoff just cause i expect so much randomness.
But seems like you have a solid sample so id make a sigh fold.

Really that tight barreling ?
Then his range looks like this you think ?

http://www.pokerstrategy.com
Board: Ts3sJcJs
Equity Win Tie
MP2 26.35% 25.59% 0.76% { AcKs }
MP3 73.65% 72.90% 0.76% { QQ-TT, AJs-ATs, KJs, QJs, JTs, T9s, AsQs, KsQs, AsQd, AsQh, AsQc }

vs this range we almost get the odds to call.
Perhaps he barrels more KQs/AQs combos ?

Makes sense yeah ty

I agree w jambonbeurre

Certainly flat QJs,TJs as well
Could also play 3b only from these positions

Exploitative i like a small size to induce more.
As for your range 1/2 i think makes more sense.
