The play with KQ was proper. In late position with 26k I woulda called the all in as well for 3k because you wouldnt have been in bad shape had you lost and there arent alot of hands that really dominate you.The second hand is different...I would not have raised back all in with AQ, you already know this guy is good...a reraise would have been sufficient, I would have sent it back at 5 or 6k to go, and folded to a reraise, or simply called and seen the flop...you definately wouldnt have wanted to straight fold the AQ, however it's too risky to put that many chips in the pot without some idea

I'm sorry...the Palestinian NATION existed when the state of Isreal was carved out by the UN. I am neither pro Israeli nor Pro Palestinian...I believe they are both petty and inhuman for letting religion strip them of their humanity. Radical islam IS bloodthirsty and indefensible...my point was they arent the only ones. Maybe you should have read the WHOLE post. I hold a BA in International Relations and have done extensive research on the topic, wheras you let Rupert Murdoch and co paint your picture for you. I admit that The Arab nations around Israel dont like them much, but I wouldn

Holdem Inspector isnt a "cheat" it doesn the math work for you...if you know hand odds already it wont help you, if not it is a good place to learn, I used to use it in PM tables and it worked quite well and I learned alot from my use of it. Technically it is cheating, but it doesnt tell you anything you wouldnt be able to figure ot if you are good at math. It basically helps stupid people play poker.

"So yes ... every major act of international terrorism in my lifetime HAS been perpetrated by one form of islamofascist or another."WRONG! unless your 10.The Irish Republican Army has been comitting International Terrorist acts for 50 years. (they dont always attack targets in N Ireland, making them internationl in scope)The ETA (Basque Seperatists) Comitted many international acts of terror, mainly hijackings and bombings in the 80's until the world's armies committed massive funds to Counter Terrorist/Hostage Rescue teams.The North Korean Governemnt has sponsored the hijacking/downing of pas

Whenever you flop A Straight or Royal or even quads in Omaha, checking/calling is the only option until the river. At best someone makes a good hand and bets into you a few times. At worst you bet on the river and everyone folds, which is what they would have done had you bet on the flop. You want to give the imperssion that you might be fishing or have a weak hand...holding the 2 top outs for a flush you arent going to get much action on the flop, you would have been better off holding 89 and making the straight flush, because someone may have the ace or king and raise it up with you and g

Except for me...I think tricks are overrated, if you cant play you will lose, no matter how many tricks you know, and if you can play you will win anyway. I bust 10/20 live games regularly, and I can barely stack my chips properly, much less shuffle or roll chips. I'd much rather spend my time analyzing my play or making money.Anyone with a little dexterity can do a chip trick...playing poker takes balls and brains, nothing more nothng less. I show no added respect to someone who can roll a chip, if they play well I respect them no matter what.

Phil Ivey simply has not played long enough to be compared to Reese. Chip Reese had busted the big game for 20 years...Ivey isnt much older than 20. If Ivey continues to play like he is now, he will surpass Chip Reese by far. However Ivey has not played enough to to prove he is as consistient as Reese at this point in time. In a tournament I give the edge to Ivey due to playing style, but overall Reese has set the standard for consistiency in poker over a long period. However in 20 years, if Ivey is still playing, he will probably surpass Reese in career winnings in cash games. And the r

LOL I should sell my 52mil PM bankroll on ebay. I used to bust the 100/200 no limits all day 3 tables at a time...then I got a job and a RM bankroll.

Judging from the Preflop play, I think a higher pocket pair (9's 10's etc) can be ruled out, if he would defend his blind liberally he would have raised with those hands most likely. Considering that he will defend his blind liberally I would be more worried about hands like Q3 Q4 etc considering the check raise on the flop. Although it's hard to tell, alot of players like to wait until the turn to raise in limit like BigD suggested. A flush draw is most likely maybe a draw and 8's or 6's possibly an open ended straight draw. If he has a Queen or a set then I'm just gonna have to lose th
