All I do is look at them in Universal Replayer and write down if I got it in ahead or behind.

So if I have overpair and figure you for two pair, you might be giving me the correct direct odds to call, let alone implied odds.Ī lot of Roy's stuff helped me out when I was still learning, but now in retrospect it seems out-dated and mostly serves as a tool for him to sell his book/programs. I can fold my hand in a multiway pot when obvious outs come, or at least figure pot odds, because usually when I'm in a 4 person pot, people aren't betting enough to force out draws. Granted, I'll run into some bad beats from time to time, but it's part of poker, and every bet I make where I'm getting 3:1 on my money as a favorite to win, that is a big pot with a big payday, provided they hit well enough to continue drawing on me. If I hit big, I can milk them, getting 3:1 on every one of my bets, as opposed to 1:1 headsup. However I also like taking big pocket pairs into multiway pot, depending on my villains, stack sizes, etc. Because flushes and straights are bigger than pairs, two-pair, and sets. The goal is to win the most money possible, and having a multiway pot is a good way to win a lot of money, however I personally prefer to take drawing hands into multiway pots, in position. Regardless of which game I'm playing, if I think I'll get called around I'll raise. Or if the flop comes T-high with no 9, we're up against top pair x2 and a lesser overpair. If we call and spike an A the likelihood of us losing plummets to just barely, and on a flop of say, AKT we're really only worried about a Jack to come. We don't know what kind of game we're playing (tournament or cash), what stack sizes are, and what player frequencies are. Well, that depends, we only know what our villains have, not anything about them.

T9s opens with a raise from MP, QT calls from CO, KK's on the button and 3-bets, and we have AA. Let's say we're in that hand he posted, with the QT, the T9, and the KK.

I've got the entire Roy Rounders 'buy my stuff' e-mail list in my inbox, I still glaze over it time to time, but most of his stuff is very situation specific.
