why play on the OLG site when rake is cheaper on PokerStars, and they will always spread better games.


#3589725 Tommy Vinas

Posted king_tanner on 05 April 2013 - 08:55 PM

I never told anybody this but about 8-9 months ago, I'm at the Taj and its late and I see Tommy Vinas walk in. He says 300/600 and the whole place stops. Tommy Vinas walks in everyone puts an eye on him. I mean after awhile there wasn't a craps game goin because all of the high rollers are over there watching him. You know some of them are sitting there, their givin away their money to this guy to say "oh I played with a world champion." And you know what I did... I sat down. Usually you need 50-60 grand to sit in that game, I had 6, I had to know.

Played tight for an hour, I folded mostly then I made a score. You would probably think wired Aces or Kings... no, rags. I had nothin.

He raised, I just decided you know... I don't care about the money I'm just going to play the guy. I'm just goin to outplay the guy this hand. I re-raised. And he just comes right back over the top of me trying to bully me like I'm some f*****g tourist. I hesitate for like 2 seconds. I'll re-raise, and he makes a move towards his chips and he looks at me, and then he looks at his cards, and then he looks at me again and he mucked. I took it down.

He says "did you have it?" I say, "I'm sorry Tom, I don't remember." I got up and I walked to the cashier. I sat with the best in the world, and I WON.

#3588188 Thank You, Daniel

Posted One Lucky Guy on 27 March 2013 - 11:26 PM

Thank you Daniel and the rest of the people at FCP for the 2012 WSOP contest in which I won an Ipad. I was pleasantly surpised receiving it in the mail today after basically giving up hope due to how long it was taking. But you guys came through and I appreciate it. Thinking back to the contest, I had originally planned to put some time researching all the players I was unfamiliar with but never did and basically just took about 10 min to fill out my bracket at the last minute. I didn't know about half the players I picked! But I got lucky and sometimes that's all it takes to win! Again thank you for the prize and I look forward to this years contest.

All the best,
Brian

#3567903 Nominated For Poker Award

Posted Jam-Fly on 07 October 2012 - 04:46 PM

So FCP, time for some old fashioned spam/plug/begging. I've been nominated in the 'Break Out Year' category for the Irish Poker Awards. It's a simple vote online system that's used so I'd appreciate support from FCP. The link for voting is http://www.theirishpokerawards.com/ . I'm Jamie Flynn btw, and the category is 'Break Out Year'. Thanks for any votes!

#3555616 What To Do In This Kind Of Situation?

Posted HighwayStar on 11 June 2012 - 10:32 AM

Luck manifests itself over the long term. Some random 2 outer, even ten 2 outers in a row means jackshit in the long term and is really nothing to worry OR complain about. If your bankroll can't handle that, you don't have a big enough bankroll. Over the timespan of a year (say 1 million hands or 50000 sngs), the difference between two equally skilled players $ winnings can be a hell of a lot, that is the element of luck, and it can be pretty large depending on the game played.Where luck plays more of a factor over a small sample of hands is tournaments. In tournaments winning or losing 4 flips deep in a big tournaments could be the difference between a breakeven year and a $200k year, which is why they are damned silly.I do think anyone can win at poker, but very few will ever take the necessary steps to do so. It is probably mostly a result of the environment/mindset they play in. Perhaps this is the same as saying that not everyone can win. I think someone who seeks out a poker forum and asks questions is on the right track to success. 95% of people never will, maybe if they were forced to they would have a hope. It is also by no means the only thing someone needs to do to win.

Playing some stuff today and doing my best to ignore the Jubilee celebrations.
