Poker Theory & GTO 7mo ago

What would the GTO line be? Second level in tournament.

Day 1 online on second level. 15 min clock.

I usually try playing hands slow early on but sometimes I wonder whether I can get more value.

New to table and I know nothing about villain except for the below.

Table is 6 handed. The previous hand I am UTG with A5 suited. I make it 2.2bb's and villain in CO calls, as does SB. Flop: K 5 7 rainbow. SB checks, I bet 2bb's, CO calls. Turn is 3. I check, villain bets 8.19 bb's, I think then fold.

Why does GTO Wizard say that this is a fold?

Using the practice hands vs GTO opponent, we are 6 handed. I did not mean to have this on for NL50 6max cash game but anyway, this is the question. We all have 100bb´s. Blinds are 0.5/1. HJ makes min raises to 2, CO calls, BTN and SB fold. So it is on me in the BB to call for 1 BB.

Fold to SB who is a fairly solid player. He makes up and I look down at A spades 10 clubs.

I make it 5k more. He calls.

Flop

A K J (KJ diamonds).

He checks.

So there is 19k in the pot.

I decide to shove for a big overbet. I got a gutshot for outs but think I am good.

Is this just bad?

I feel AK, AQ and AJ wou

Current stock market valuation

I am genuinely thinking of selling all my stocks and just sticking it in a savings account for a few years.

The Buffett Indicator says that the market is very overvalued. However, there are other factors nowadays such as the fact that we are a globalized world and many earnings are from overseas. However, these rate rises and high stock prices makes me think either a crash could happen at some point, possibly soon, or returns will simply be

Tax question on poker winnings - UK citizen

Hi all,

I hope you are well.

I am going to Vegas at the end of June.

I understand that there is a tax treaty between the US and UK. Does anyone know the up-to-date situation as to whether I need to apply for an ITIN or the best course of action for me to take?

If I win a tournament or playing cash games, what happens? I have been to Vegas once before and never had anything withheld when I cashed out at the desk after playing cash games. I do pl
