Does anyone know where you can purchase the style of chips as seen on the Live Full Tilt game on FSN? They flatter and wider than your "normal" poker chips. Similar to the style seen on Oceans 11.

I agree that Normad Chad's commentary is very annoying.However, a lot of his commentary is probably scripted. After they finish all the editing, Chad probably sits in a sound stage and does his commentary over the finished product. Notice how he continues to talk during the hand even over the editing process. There is a lot cut out that we don't see like the 5 minute decisions players make that seem to only take a few seconds. Yet Chad seems to keep on talking without a break in the action.Fire the writer and replacing him couldn't hurt.

The MGM 1-2NL game is SOOO NICE. On my recent trip there I played both tite and loose tables. Both games were easilly cracked with patience and being observant of the touristy players looking for a story to tell their buddies back at home saying they played live NL in vegas.Both Friday and Saturday during the day are when you really want to go and clean up a bit.Watch out for the 1-2NL @ wynn. Same type of people but definatley a larger bankroll. -
There's a lot of coverage of her on the LIVE ME coverage on gutshot.comI think she's affiliated with them somehow. Won a satellite...something along those lines...

anyone one going to the match tonight?(monday)
paragonpoker replied to NeedAJoker's topic in General Poker Forum
I was actually there this weekend. I thought DN was gonna be there to take on another heads up match that I could watch, but he wasn't there. Actually, I'm not sure if you've been to the WYNN yet, but if they play on the upper terrace, it would be difficult for rail birds to even get a clear view. -
Just wondering if anyone has been out there. Obviously you can't watch the action since its in the Grand Ballroom but still, you still see a lot of the big name players playing live games.I was there earlier today around 5 or so and I saw the game DN was talking about in one of his blogs. I saw Doyle Brunson, Gus hansen, Barry Greenstein, and I think David Slansky playing something. It was roped off guarded by a security guard and wouldn't allow people to watch even though it was on the main floor.Kind of cool when you run into people like James Woods, Toby McGuire and Lou Diamond Philips at

I know its being nit picky, but technically, Reggie Cardiel is not an "Ultimate Fighter" A UF refers to a person who fights in the UFC Organization based in Las Vegas. Not to say Cardiel isn't a fighter, but he would be called a Mixed martial Artist or Full Contact Fighter. He actually fights in other organizations, just not the UFC.

CAN I JUST SAY...Someone else shares the same sentiment on the f'd up LA freeway system and its god awful traffic.The crossing of the oncoming and outgoing traffic is a nightmare. To get to the Commerce Casino from my house I have to take the 710 to 5 Interchange. Well, its pretty much a dangerous situation since the interchange from the 710 is on the left side of the 5 and the exit to Commerce is less than a quarter mile 5 lines over on the right.

It seems like you're doing exactly what you're supposed to do. You need to change up your game to adapt to the shorthanded play. Tight play does not always do the trick in your situation. You need to "shift gears" and change it up so your opponents will always be on edge. Keeps em guessing...

I wouldn't be either. I'd rather be myself and work to attain the goals these two players have set.I think its great we look up to players like those two. however, I would have to say that we shouldn't idolize players.

I feel that. 60 Dollars for 500 Composite Set. I was one of the many Asians going crazy for that set at Costco. -
Here's one I administered at Commerce. 2/4 GameMe - BB 4d5sGuy1 - AKdGuy 2- QJdI call the extra two after Guy 1 Raises. (I had a couple rushes that night. I might as well call and maybe I'll see something good)FLOP2d 6d 5cI check, betting ensues. I call.Turn3dGuy 1 and guy 2 are betting and I just call. At this point I don't know what the hell I'm thinking. But I just call becaue I felt I had a pretty good read on the guys. I didn't. Both of these guys already made their flushes. Guy 1 is going crazy since he has what he thinks is the nuts. At this point, I DIDN'T even know i was draw

From what i read in another post, BAY 101 got rid of Posting on the Button. To me, Bay 101 seems to be the best place to play now. i went up to San pablo. WASTE OF TIME! Unless you're looking for a loose 6-12 or2-5 NL game stay in San Jose

NO WAY! This should make you want to go. Have you ever been to the Commerce? There are so many tables there that is won't make a difference. Well, I shouldn't say that. There is a wait especially Friday Saturday Nights. However, the wait is not even that bad.
