Thanks for the info Suited, and othersThat's pretty sad. Maybe I just have to get used to it, but I just checked out the bluff site, and I must say I like cardplayers overall presentation a lot better - just easier to move from one tournament to another, etc., etc. And maybe it's just a glitch, but the bluff site seems slow as hell right now. Maybe they weren't prepared for the volume of traffic to their site.

Does anyone else find that the coverage of the events on Cardplayer this year are terrible compared to last year? Last year, there were updates a lot more often (every 10-15 minutes), than there are this year (every hour - just a paragraph or 2 summary). Does anyone know why there has been a change? Does anyone know of a better online source for WSOP coverage?

How Christian of you.

I'm a bit confused. You say you chose the latter, which would be the game. Then you say love the game but she is +EV, intimating you chose the dame.??????

Doesn't sound all that large - for $100/$200. At $5/$10, pots over $200 are fairly common, and pots over $300 defintely happen. If you scale that up to your game, that would be a $6000 pot. I know, you don't get donks calling off their chips like crazy at that level, but still...Edit: Aah, read the rest of the thread. I see it was a large pot for you, since you don't normally play at that level.

whoa, harmon won an 8 billion dollar pot? who was she playing, dr. evil?Actually, that would be 800 million.

Yeah, I remember that. I don't remember what the other name for the game was - it was kind of long. You could probably find it in the cardplayer archives though.

I was wondering the same thing - especially since the last one was just a couple years ago.

In Daniel's description of this Omaha H/L hand, he states that on the river "With the nuts straight and the naked Ace of spades, the BB raised". My question is, what is the significance of having the naked Ace of Spades? Is it because the raise can work as a bluff, because the other person might put him on the nut flush? Or is it because he knows that the other person does not have a flush because in Omaha, it is not likely that the other person would have called the bet on the turn without the NUT flush draw? Or is it something else all together?I'm not an Omaha player, so I don't really u

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Good point. This is something I have come to realize recently (silly really since it's so obvious). However, I think when people say "protect" against the flush draw, what is also implied here is making the draws pay more to get there, so that in the long run, you are making more money.I'm not saying that 3 betting the flop is right in this situation, but just in general, when someone says that they raised to protect against the flush draw, what this really means is either:1) Raise to stop someone from staying in for runner-runner flush (this happens a lot, even with a raise, believe me).2)

Although different casinos may have different rules, in my experience if your cards aren't in the muck they are live (even if you say "I fold" or "take it, Doyle").This happens all the time at the casimo I play at (Brantford, Canada). If someone asks to see the cards, and they haven't touched the muck yet, the dealer will take the cards, touch them to the muck so they are officially mucked and then flip them over. This way, they can't win the pot.

It's the Z, because all the letters in the top row look the same when they are flipped on a 45 degree line, or said more simply, when they are turned backwards and then upside down.

Has anyone played this before. It is exactly the same as regular Holdem, except it is only played wtih 10's and higher. With a 20 card deck, it is obviously limited to a 6 seated table. You can play it at UB, but only for play money. I don't know if they have any plans to introduce it for real money or not.It's fun for a laugh - I even hit a Royal Flush on there. And on a somewhat serious note, even though it is skewed, it really highlights the vulnerability of marginal hands when played against actual good hands. It can be frustrating, since there's a whole lot of conterfeiting going o

Hey, what times does the poker room actually open (specifically on Friday, I've never been there early enough to notice)? I might like to go play some 2/5 just for fun but I'd like to show up early as I've heard the waiting lists fill up fast on Fridays.The poker room is going 24/7. Now that doesn't mean all the tables are full all the time, but I think there's at least 1 table at each limit all the time. On Friday, if you go mid-afternoon, I don't think you will have too long of a wait. I usually go after work and get there between 5:30 and 6:30, and I wait anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 ho
