  1. *bump*I too am interested in which book on cd this is.
  2. Tyler?!?! You are still alive? I emailed you last week....did you get it? I´ll be back in six days...bleh.- Jordan Wow long time no see, I'm doing great. You should come down for the thursday game sometime if you can ever make it. We switched up to 10,000 starting chips and 25-50 blinds etc. Good game. I haven't checked my email here recently, as I haven't had much internet access and have been working alot...Though I'm trying to get into this OSU thing on sunday, unfortunantly I dunno anyone willing to share a friend pass...Maybe I can come up one day for the tourney you've been talking ab
  3. In your most recent article you describe your great table and how you couldn't really "run without the ball." Obviously you do very little bluffing and mostly play for value. My question pertains to how your starting hand requierments change as well as how you play in general.For example, Do you stay away from weak aces, or play them more frequently and why?Do you limp and call more often keeping the pots as small as you can pre-flop and "extract value" from the flop forward?How do you handle newer players that tend to overbet in relation to pot size and blind size, this is usually very true
  4. Some friends and I are planning a 2 day event. And advice/thoughts would be great from anyone...esp Daniel as he has a bit of expeirence as to what a good tournament is.30 players17 hours (12 first day 5 second) with the final table being on the second day.10,000 starting chips for $50.00 with 1 rebuy for first 2-3 hours and 1 add on. So we hve more than average chips available...My main concern is that the blinds are still too much....starting the second day we estimate 750,000 in chips to be in play...with a BB of 10,000 avg stack has 7.5 BB is this typical or just plain wrong?I have a few
  5. Man this game is awsome when they have blocked flash apps at my work. Up to 86 sec for my new best.Cheers,Tyler
  6. 3rd try and that score is un altered and unedited..Other than the cropping.http://www.bbpix.com/pix/w00t.bmpCheers,Tyler
  7. Overated?? The guy knew what his oppents were holding half the time....dead on!!!!There are a number of pros who can do that today -- notice you said 'half the time'. And honestly, I know little about him, but to me his legacy is diminished today due to the fact that he won in what, '71 and '72... wasn't one by vote by other professionals or something like that, and the other was actual tournament play with less than 100 people? I don't remember the exact figures, and I'm too lazy to google them. My point is, later this year there will be a main event with possibly over 6,000 people. I do
  8. Sorry to jump the gun. I just hear so many novice players complain about opponents playing badly. I've yet to play online yet but PM will probably be my first. Glad to hear it is a veritable fish bowl.Cheers,Tyler
  9. Calling is a better option if the pot is like 8 to 10 BB me thinks...if it has 10 BB you only have to be right like 8-9% of the time to show a profit. Remember to deermine your %'s before odds....especially at first. You don't wnat to be like well i'm getting 1 to 3...then be like well he is probably bluffing 25% in this spot...because it will make you call too liberally and start a bad habit of bad judement.
  10. One thing to consider is this. Calculate the odds after determining a read. Another thing more advanced players do is try to associate a % of accuracy. Calling on the end is a good example. Opponent bets representing hand X. If you feel that he may bluff in this situation 20% of the time then if you are getting 1 to 4 or more on your call then make the call. Another situation occurs when you put them on a certain hand. Say you have 53s in the BB and it gets raised by the button but you know all 8 people will call as the game is loose you call and flop two pair. Checks to the button who bets
  11. The most important part of playing poker for a living successfully would in my mind have to be bankroll management. If you are depending on it for a living you have to have a sufficient bankroll. You have 2 options in my mind really.1. Borrow enough money to make a real bankroll for 5-10. I'm not saying credit wise...as the interest is insane.....but from a friend or family member. 2. Get a part time job and partially support yourself and fund your bankroll. Part time will give you enough time to play/build bankroll. Myself I have a bankroll of 2,140 for 5/10. I play live so I get fa
