... or by your good-self mate.
If you get it going and run dry of ideas you could always pm some of the members here asking for a few. I'm sure we'd all would be willing to help it along.

Sounds like a good idea. Maybe they could be short, brief tips
I've got a tip, but it's not very good:
POKER SUCKS. Give it up now.  |

Ok, ok, here's a better one I read somewhere:
The two hole cards which beat AA most often are Ten/Jack suited. |

Not true I`m afraid, although many people think that. In fact the best hand to beat AA is 5-6s of a suit different to that of the aces.
So As Ac vs 5h 6h the 5-6 will win 23.06% of the time.
As Ac vs Th Jh the TJ will only win 21.72% of the time.
Nice idea Adam. I did think of trying something similar myself but wasn`t sure I could come up with anything on a daily basis. I can certainly start a thread and sticky it and then members and staff can add their tips as and when they think of them. _________________

Which just goes to show you that you can't believe everything you read. Thanks for providing that information.
Perhaps a thread which says: Open thread for poker tips, or something like that where peeps can provide random tips anytime.? |

I suppose you could say KK cos that way you're not going to lose the hand (unless your opponent hits a flush). But I'd still rather be up against 72os. _________________ I haven't failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. - Thomas Edison (1846 - 1931) |

KK vs AA worked for me last night... four suited came to the board that AA wasn't on and I was.
I'm guessing it being against Kh/d - 2s/c _________________

yaaaay correct!
the high card K is blocked by our KK, and the kicker is the lowest possible And the same suit as one of our Kings to reduce the flush possibilities
well done mr Stu  _________________

Just checked the Odds Calculator in the Alternate Poker Toolbar and the odds in the above scenario is 94.16% for the KK to win and 1.53% for a tie and "only" 4.31% for K2 to win
so even tho these 2 are the hands furthest apart, the K2 still has 4.31% to win..  _________________

| I've seen where 65 suited has a higher mathematical probability of cracking AA than JTs, but since the percentage difference is pretty small, I wonder if JTs actually does the cracking more often because it gets played more often. |

If playing a freeroll tournament holding 2nd pair on the river against a player with a screen name that includes any combnation of 'Iceman' (Iceman1/xicemanx/AAicemanAA etc) who raises you all-in, you should make the call.  _________________

| If playing in a freeroll against some humongous field for some miniscule prize pool, you should consider giving up poker, which isn't too hard since you're only sort of playing it anyway. |
