Old post it is but "how flawed" would you say my thinking was? Ask me any question you like about my opponite, I know his play real well.

Well from my earlier post:"SO...is their a valid reason to risk $165 more into a pot with only $10 of dead money with only a 9% chance to win a big pot, a 19% chance to lose a big pot, and a 72% chance of just getting a few chips to tip the dealer with? "a) Fighting with BB for $10 in dead money with trips on the board.B) 28% chance i'm miles behind.c) I have this player on my right and feel I can take his money in a better situation.If anyone thinks this is a call "every time" kind of hand, your too loose. ;)PS - to another poster: There was a 0% chance he was bluffing. He had a hand. My re

If your going to "quote" me, please don't change what I typed. Thanks.I was looking for name(s) of player(s)s to look into and be aware of, that are "underrated" and "not mentioned in multiple media reports about poker". Being stranded in VA, a state that is about as far as possible from a legal poker room... well.. sucks.

Question: Which tournament pro, that gets the least/no TV/Media coverage, is the best you've seen or is highly underrated?While i love hearing about those that we have come to know from TV, WSOP, and 2+2 for a while now. I'm interested in which "unknowns" you feel are dangerous out there. :twisted: Anyone else have any ideas on some?Thanks and best of luck (as long as i'm not in the pot). :wink:

Wow. I posted this a while ago and i'm surprised to see a post on it but I would just like to repeat. 1) Cash game and 2) How much you want to invest?I had like $20 in the pot on the turn and didn't want to roll the dice or 3 outs vs 3 outs with a player that also had a 10% chance of having the case 7. Call that "too tight" if you wish but I felt I could find a better spot to get my money in the middle than this.Maybe i'm just too tight...*shrug*

Wow this thread took a left turn at Pleasentville. Let’s try to keep the discussion on the UP side guys. It is “ok” to question a play. There is rarely a 100% correct move in poker and a lot of decisions are based on your opponent at the high stakes level. Daniel clearly had an advantage over David and I think he might have make some loose calls on the river because he felt he could chip up to make up for it. With that being said….The K2 hand still confuses me. The way the hand plays out, I just don’t see the value in the call of 500K into a 500K-ish pot.The A-high call was “ok” but I fe

WPT BorgataThis was the only hand that really confused me. The only hand that Daniel could beat was a straight draw that missed. Has anyone seen a post by DN that covered why he called his bet? It looked like that call really moved him down in the chip count.The hand where he called into David's 9s full with only Ace high was a little weird too. Certainly, my heads up play isn't as strong as DN's but I'd really love to see is he has covered these hands before because I'd really like to understand the situations where calling these bets are the right plays.PS - The read on the tables "rock"

yeah... i saw this article and was like, "why you messing with my game? Bad beats happen but at least I can get my money in there as the 80% favorite."I can see it now, "I had this hand locked when this guy with trips bought a card on the end and beat my quad 7s with quad 9s!"

http://www.expressseek.com/addpr/show_deta...ils.php?id=1482Reading this article just made me sick. So casinos need games where "no hand" is a favoite before the flop? Where is the skill in that? This sounds more like a slot machine than poker. Even with a "buy a card" on the end.WTF is that?

... do you think some of the "known" names of poker have new reasons to change their play in order to "make the TV final table"?Ex:"Well known poker pro" : Pro-A is late in the tournament and is 7 handed; final 6 make a WPT final TV table.Chip Counts:Amature-1: 1,100,000Pro - B: 800,500Amature-2: 700,200Pro-A: 475,000Semi-Pro-1: 437,000Amature-3: 420,000Amature-4: 375,000Pro-A is in the BB, Amature-2 (tight-aggro) is in the cutoff, Amature-3 is UTG.Action: Blinds are big at 8K/16K; UTG limps in for the first time in 15 hands.

Priceless...He probably isn't the best actor to play Phil H but he did an ok job. Watching him lose with [k][10] vs [k][j] was entertaining but he just seemed to "under control" for it to be for real. Best part of the show for me.Anyone else find it entertaining?

I’ve been playing on Partypoker for a little over a year. Recently, I’ve been getting myself setup to open accounts on FTP and Poker Mountain. I also plan about 3-4 trips up to Atlantic City to play in ring games/ tourneys up there as well. I’m still a student of poker but certainly feel like I have some good reading skills and good instincts at the “live” table.Problem: I’ve made it DEEP in many large and medium fields online. I routinely make it to the top 20% but then end up in situations where my stack goes from 20-30 BB to only 10 BB. This seems to happen in both the NL hold’em even

Well...on the subject of calling raises with "suspect" hands, all I can say is implied odds.If i'm up against a player that is going to commit a huge amount of money to his hand when he has just 1 pair, I'll call a reasonable raise and see what the flop brings me. I flop 2 pair, trips or a straight and I get his entire stack. You know these players. They go to the river with their [a][a] and look around the table for sympathy for getting run down.Local game I play in $2/$5 PL hold em/O-8:If a player raises to $10-15 pre-flop and has 2 other callers, I might risk $15 for a shot at his $200 w

The 3/6 Omaha 8 is about the same. Perfect example:I call a raise with [a][3][4][9] with the nut diamond draw and 3 wheel cards. Lose call but so is my table and i'm the BBFlop: [a][a][a]I'm first to act and i'm about to check when I think.." you know, if I just come out betting, I bet they will call" So I bet the $3 and got 5 callers. Turn was a [3]I bet again and got 2 callers and the MP player RAISED! I re-raise and it gets capped (we lose 1 player in the raise war)River [10]One winner chicken dinner. I bet and get 2 callers.
