  1. Yeah, like that happens in a Casino where the cards are switched every hand, everything is on camera, and everyone is watching everyone. That doesn't happen in real life. If you are really that crazy paranoid ask to borrow their glasses and look at the cards yourself.
  2. It is hypocritical for Daniel to ask for sunglasses to be banned when he frequently wears a baseball cap. Anytime someone in a cap inclines their head all of their features are hidden. I can also hide my eyes simply by closing them, I suppose that is an advantage? And the fact is that there is already a level playing field, if he thinks sunglasses are an advantage he ought to be wearing them. As should anyone else who thinks the same. Choosing to give up a perceived edge out of vanity is just stupid.What does he mean by marked cards exactly? The fingernail marks people sometimes leave? If your
  3. The 2nd episode wasn't anywhere near as good as the first. Oh well, hopefully it is better next week.
  4. We don't compare our spiders to coins in Australia, we compare them to plates.
  5. I'm kind of proud that a goverment funded not-for-profit station can run these kinds of shows. Not having to rely on advertising and zero censorship is a good combination.So Americans, not finding it offensive? I wasn't sure.
  6. I realise you guys probably don't watch a lot of free-to-air Australian TV but this show is too good to miss. You can watch it here http://www.abc.net.au/iview/#/view/451876 or download the torrent here http://www.mininova.org/tor/3069221With Daniels history of racial humour I think he would like it. I am not sure if the average American (or naturalised Canadian) would find the Obama part too offensive though? It was pretty horrifically gross but sadly I still could not help laughing.Anyway, be warned it is potentially very offensive even if it technically doesn't get any more risque than I Be
  7. This.Part of the problem with playing poker is that you have money spread out everywhere. Half a dozen sites, moneybookers, neteller, casinos, bank accounts and some cash for home games. But like most people I have most of my uninvested money on one site and in one bank account, and I reload the bank account when it gets short. That's... really all there is to it.
  8. I couldn't google the answer either. Someone needs to update poker wiki with common names for chips. FYI here we call $500 monkeys, $1000 gorillas, $5000 bananas. http://poker.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
  9. How do we get a signed copy? I ordered mine through PokerStars, there is no signed option available (as there is for other books). Other than rocking up and pestering him in person, what are the options?
  10. If someone could cap this final table and stick it up on thepokerbay.org I would be very greatful...
  11. Looking good Daniel! Good luck tomorrow!Also, lol at your T7 pots. I hope your winning hand is T7
  12. Wow, spew fold.a) Reraise preflop. Take it down there, because you cannot make a low hand. If someone wants to call with A2xx fine, but charge the maximum on every street. Do not slow play.B) It is a high only flop. Forget that it is Omaha. He has reraised your AA preflop, if he has JJ or J9 you are just going to have to pay him off here. His most likely hand is AAxx or A29, just like you. Reraise full pot.c) If he flat called the flop after you pumped it, he does not have 9J or JJ. When he moves in on the turn he does not have KK or K9. His most likely hand here is QTxx, or something gay like
  13. The Outsiders was easily in the top five hundred books I had ever read before I finished primary school.- "Attack when they are unprepared, make your move when they do not expect it." - Sun Tzu- "Those who are skilled in combat do not become angered, those who are skilled at winning do not become afraid. Thus the wise win before they fight, while the ignorant fight to win." - Zhuge Liang (3rd Century)- "Be careful in the beginning, and you have no trouble in the end." - I ChingThe Art of War is a little bit like Proverbs, just geared towards battle. Like any conflict resolution strategy it can
  14. If you flat call preflop you have to play perfectly post flop, which is not as easy as you may think. If you jam it preflop - which is correct all of the time - you have a greater than zero chance of thinning the field. Every player who folds increases your pot equity, but even if they all call you still have the best pot odds. It's only a bad situation if you are very deep and OOP - which is the situation calling creates. By calling you are deep with resepect to the pot, multiway and out of position. Also your opportunity to thin the field and win preflop is gone.
  15. In penny PLO8 games people will call anything preflop with A2, KK, sometimes A3 etc (actually, they do it in 5/10 also!). You should never ever slow play good aces (as opposed to AA99 rainbow for example) by flat calling a reraise, just stick as much in as you can preflop. That way when the flop comes K95 as it ALWAYS DOES you are HU and can stick in a good sized raise. You always want to be HU with this hand.If I lost my mind and somehow got to that flop with your hand and two players behind me, I would fold on the flop. Your best case is being up against two pair with a backdoor low draw. Wh
