His And Hers Poker

Tracey has the start of a cold, so it’s just Matt this week. To try to make up for the solo act, he brings a series of FOUR hands against tournament fish! Follow along as he makes some real-time adjustments to the terrible imbalances of the clowns from the tournament circus.

This week’s episode begins with an announcement that you won’t want to miss! Tracey’s hand starts at 9:30. She has a premium vs premium situation against a player with an incredibly narrow range. Is it too ambitious to go for max value with just an overpair? Matt’s hand starts at 23:45. He has a good […]

This week, both of our hands feature an examination of a spot where the line taken was good, but another line may have been even better. Matt’s hand is at the beginning of the episode. He makes a speculative call on the flop with backdoor draws. When his opponent puts in a tiny turn bet, […]

Not only are both of this week’s hands pretty interesting, they both offer a chance to review some poker math techniques! Tracey’s hand is at the start of the episode. She has a massive draw against a player who bets very tiny. She’s getting the right price to call, but would a raise be even […]

The title says it all, as both hands this week feature challenging spots caused by raises on the river. Let’s see what our heroes make of them. Matt’s hand starts at the beginning of the episode. He sets a trap on the flop, but then wonders if it caught more than he bargained for when […]

Yes, you read that correctly! It’s a momentous day, as the world’s biggest hater of donk leads actually makes one in his hand! Tracey’s hand is at the start of the episode. A double-barreled draw completes on the river. However, a strange river line by Villain leaves our heroine with some serious questions. Matt’s hand […]

It’s our 50th episode and we’ve got two golden hands for you! In both, an opponent takes an action on the turn which seems completely impossible. What do you do when logic completely fails? Matt’s hand is at the start of the episode. It is another “observer hand” that occurred at his table, but that […]

Another week of the Borgata Open means it’s time for more hands against tourney players. Will our heroes give thanks for them, or wish they’d just go home like that one drunken uncle (you know the one). Tracey’s hand begins at 3:15. An unexpected pair of flop calls leaves her wondering how thin to bet […]

“Matt’s hand” is a little different this week, and it begins at 3:15.  We usually don’t discuss hands (other than listener submitted hands) where one of the hosts wasn’t an active participant.  However, Matt saw a hand at his table this past week that was so interesting that he had to bring it for discussion. […]

Since we were out of town last weekend, we dug deep into our notebooks and found two interesting hands from prior weeks to discuss on this’s week’s episode. We start off this week with a brief plug for a holiday season charity run by a pro poker friend from the Borgata.  You can check it […]

This week, both of our heroes have questions about how they played their hand on the turn. See what you think about their decisions! Matt’s hand starts at the beginning of the episode. He is ready to fire a bluff, but then the turn card gives him showdown value…or does it? Should he stick with […]

This week’s episode starts off with “Our Two Chips” and the review of our top rated poker room in Vegas! Tracey’s hand starts at 10:45. All goes well when she flops a premium hand until a turn donk lead derails her plans. Can she get the Value Train back on track? Matt’s hand starts at […]

Sadly, Tracey is sick this week, so it’s just Matt presenting his hand. He flops an excellent hand in a very multiway pot. He must decide how to get maximum value from different holdings, even as the board gets much scarier.

The episode begins with “Our Two Chips” and a review of what we felt was the number two room on the Vegas Strip.  Next week, we crown the champ! Matt’s hand starts at 10:30. He flops a flush draw and decides to put out a check-raise.  Should he then go for the double barrel?  The […]

Your heroes are back to the Borgata this week after returning from Vegas. Let’s find out if they had a good homecoming! Tracey’s hand starts at 9:15. A very multiway flop results in an interesting bet sizing discussion. Then, the turn offers a chance to explore a potential creative line. Matt’s hand starts at 22:00. […]

We’re back from our trip to Vegas with three new hands and a bunch of stuff to review! The episode starts out with some general thoughts on the trip and then a review of what we felt was the #4 poker room on the Stip.  In the next three weeks, we will present reviews of […]

This week, we have three hands to make up for the fact that we are not posting an episode next week.  But, our absence will be for a good reason: We’re going to Vegas! Matt’s hand starts at 3:00. He finds himself in a 3-bet pot against a talented tournament player. When he flops an excellent […]

Last week, one of our heroes had a session where everything turned out roses. This week, what can we learn when everything turned out thorns? Tracey’s hand starts at 3:25. She faces an interesting c-bet spot against an aggressive player. Then, a clueless player’s misstep causes confusion on the river. Can Tracey keep her wits […]

This week we go over two spots where we could possibly have picked up some extra thin value in our otherwise value-thick sessions! Matt’s hand starts at 4:15. It’s not every day you’re looking for extra value in a $2,300 pot, but that’s the spot we examine. Had the value train run out of track, […]

The donk leads you are about to hear are true, only the names have been changed to protect the innocent. Just the donks, ma’am. Tracey’s hand starts at 2:00. She flops a decent hand and then faces a small donk lead on the turn. Time to use our sleuthing skills to figure out this donker’s […]
