   Tracy,

   I have a really basic question, but one that i think everyone should know the answer too.

   Do you use a formula to decide how much to bet in a given situation? If so, can you mention some examples?

   GOOOOO STEELERS!

   Cheers

   Hey Tracy,

   I’ve been a huge fan of yours since Season One of the Best Damn Poker Show. Actually, I’ve seen you in many big events but you manage to avoid the spotlight for the most part. Nice work, i get the sense you play solely for the love of the game.

   Anyway, my question is in two parts and the first is this. When you first sit down to a table, do you have any sort of checklist that you go through to assess the field? Also, when you’re deciding whether to get into a hand, do you have a checklist in terms of what things help you decide to play the hand or not?

   Basically I’m trying to become a more disciplined player, and i’ve heard that this approach can help.

   Thanks!

   DP

   Hi Tracy, ive seen you have been putting in a great deal of volume here on UB, i admire your versatility in your wide ranging of games.
   Ive heard many players and even pros say they never show their cards, either in folding, or showing a hand(bluff, bet etc) for obvious reasons like giving away information.
   But ive also seen this to be a skillfull strategy in terms of either setting people up in later stages of games, or just simply to keep people respecting your bets: ie betting on the best hand. So what is your stance on this Tracy?
   thanks for your time.
