		<description><![CDATA[In NL holdem when the pot is raised preflop the last preflop aggressor often bets out on the flop regardless of whether or not he connected well with the flop.  This bet is called a continuation bet and it is the central feature of betting action on the flop in NL holdem.  This [...]]]></description>

When you start playing live, you unfortunately have to cope with one of the major downsides of live play: angleshooting, rules abuse, and dealer and player errors.

There&#8217;s actually PLO being spread during the series.  For those that like PLO, this is a good thing.   There were 5/5 games at the Rio, and [...]]]></description>

They had a lot of action on account of the WSOP - two tables at 10:00 in the morning, both full, neither of them must move. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this series I discuss how bets and raises are classified, and the thinking behind determining if a given bet or raise is correct.
Part 1
As you&#8217;ll recall from last article, there is a well defined system for classifying calls as correct or incorrect using odds math.  That math essentially analyzes three relevant facts:

		<description><![CDATA[In a couple of previous articles I&#8217;ve talked about classifying bets as either value bets or bluffs.  This classification was originally derived looking at last street play in fixed limit games.  I now want to revisit the topic and discuss earlier betting rounds and games with variable bet size.
