    England are 4/6 to win the test with Paddy Power. Seems generous. The only problem is the possibility of rain tomorrow which will obviously make the draw more likely. Better to leave it to the morning to see what happens with the weather. I haven't watched any of the Bangladesh innings but seems to be a poor pitch, completely lifeless. Old Trafford will apparently be very quick which should play into England's hands

    I'd leave the cricket alone.

    Like you say the pitch is absolutely dead. They aren't getting anywhere near England's total, but they will probably pass the follow on and with weather around...... not a good bet IMO.

    They need to sort these pitches out, just nothing for bowlers at all.

    I had this experience. I realized within a few hands everybody was fairly tight with the hands they'd play and at least 2 people would call a bet 3x the big blind post-flop with marginal hands like J-9 if they limped in position. There are a lot of calling stations so the bluff is redundant. There is nothing worse than semi-bluffing with a decentish hand you probably figure is best but aren't sure, only to get called, and for them to fluke a hand on the river. That really sets me on tilt so I avoid bluffing at all.

    I figure a tight aggressive game beats micro stakes, just regular ABC poker, fold when you're probably beat and raise with a decent hand and know your odds and you win. Problem is it takes so long to get anywhere so I'm going to try higher stakes next and see what happens.

    Leave it all together I'd suggest or atleast wait until the start of play tomorrow if you are going to bet. You don't want to be guessing with the weather.

    ah right I just saw it on the ladbrokes site and it says 1am but will probably change. if anyone can confirm a time that would be good, I don't even know where the fight is being held so have no idea other than the 1am i read and 2am you've said, I'll watch aslong as it's not a 3am start.

    Andrade by stoppage looks quite good, no? Against a guy thats fought once in the last 3-4 years against a can?

    Only 10rds though which always puts me off.

    It is a grind at low stakes to make it worthwhile but at high stakes the players are much better! I'm not that good that i'll win enough to just play just for profit - i need to be enjoying it too and i don't enjoy playing online. I do OK at heads-up but that is NO fun, but profitable. Good luck.

    Berdych over Murray 11/8

    Should be evens IMO the way they're playing, Tomas has the game to overpower Murray on clay.

    Soderling 4/9 over Cilic

    Soderling is good on clay.

    Can't see any other reasonable prices.
