  1. Kind of random but if a brand new casino is opening (encore Boston) do you find games are even looser at 1/2 2/5 than usual? I'm used to Foxwoods low limit games. Not looking for specific changes in my game I should make, just your's and others general opinion on a brand new card room/ casino.

  2. IMO too thin the runout smacks villains range spanning 3 to 9 with only 2 gaps. Two pair shows up allot here. Ultimately villain played the hand poorly and thus was a good result for master Bart. against stronger opponents that play their range vs cards may not have been same

  3. I understand that it wouldn't be exactly the same because of blockers, but would you go for that river raise with all TT through AA in that spot? I guess maybe you can because it's a pretty unique situation vs a specific opponent?

  4. I view min-raising in the same category as limping preflop, I try to never do it. This seems like a bad approach, taking a play out of your book just because it's something "bad players" do frequently. Bart, you mentioned that raising this river, you would size somewhere between a min-raise and 3x, but isn't the river min-raise the most clearly obvious never bluffing value bet? Do you think Sam even cares or is aware of that? Is that the idea behind thin value raising? You're trying to get a crying call from pretty bad hands, so small raises are the only ones that can realistically get called?
