wow this is going slow

priceless.I wish I could blow this up to poster size, frameit, and put it on my wall, LOL

Wow, I've never met such an asshole in my life. I can only hope that I will meet you in real life and stick an icepick in your left ear.I'll bring a sharpened stick for the right one..also, i'd suggest wearing a cup at all times if I were you... if in fact this actually did happen.But I agree with schwarz and xxeddie.. the story doesn't add up at all if you actually think about it. The only way this would have happened is if all the money went in pre-flop, in which case, when the hands were turned over, and the board came out the way it did, your friends probably would have picked up on it an

if by a few, you mean like 10, then yeah, you probably will have to win "a few" coin flips in the main event...and to answer the question, i agree with the above post. Why is this even an issue? Call.

I know he gambles on golf, but I've heard that he (used to, at least) get wrecked by Erick Lindgren on a regular basis. I read that Phil hired someone to help him with his game though, and now made some sort of challenge to E-Dog.

That would be the entertainment spectacular of the year for me.....Especially since DC, or rather the DC "team" wouldn't be tag teaming in and out every few hours

I just can't get enough of Jen Harman. Such a cutie.She just seems like a sweetheart and someone that would be a lot of fun to just hang out with. I wouldn't want anything to do with her at the poker table though :wink:

I do think Matusow is a great NL tournament player, however, I watched him play a few heads up limit games on Full Tilt and wasn't very impressed.While Matusow's antics make for great TV, and I do believe that he is a good guy overall, I will admit that IMO his personality is bad for the game. Matusow and Hellmuth stand as shining examples of terrible manners and edicate, and as much as some would say otherwise, their antics on TV rub off on viewers. Trash talking and bad manners at the poker table have always been around, but now they are at an all time high. The rise of internet poker has ma

Johnny Chan is the reason I started playing poker. Since that time I've grown more and more aware of his great play and some of the more subtle aspects of his game. I enjoyed watching him on Poker Superstars, even though I wasn't a big fan of the tournament on the whole..and of course enjoyed watching him be the first to 10 WSOP bracelets."He's going all-in and Chan has him! Johnny Chan the master!"

Props on that clip Killer. I haven't seen that in a while...Never gets old..

I got a good one for you guys...I heard a few months back of a town in rural Alabama that wanted to change the way people answered their phones.Because the word "Hello" contained "hell", they demanded that the greeting be changed to "Heaveno". Go ahead and laugh. I wish I was kidding.Realistically though, I don't think I could make this stuff up if I tried.

Amen to that! :clap:

I admit it.. I got a good laugh out of this DN. Touche my friend.The sad part is that I'm an English major.Anyway, thanks for the pointer Daniel. Although I'd much rather have you sit and critique my poker game rather than my grammar and syntax, I'll take whatever I can get!...After all I'd like to keep my head separated from any walls, at least for the time being :wink:

I just finished reading DN's "old school vs new school" blog and I have to say I am really glad a distiguished pro made a point to talk about this issue. I believe it's one of the blemishes on the poker community nowadays. While I would consider myself still a "rookie" (playing about 2 years), I've noticed an overall attitude from most of the players I've played online, and even in the local cardroom that I frequent. However, the attitude online is far more condesending and often outright rude. There are the players who, like DN mentioned, refuse to cut a break to anyone, regardless of the s

anyone have a link to the thread discussing some differing play and strategies in cash games vs. tournaments? I'm sure there's one on here.. and I'd like to do some research to help me expand my knowledge of both, as I am predominately a stud/limit holdem player

From what I hear, I wouldn't put a lot of money on Ivey for the golf part. But If you added video games of any sort I think he'd take it by a landslide

I'd like the option to show your cards before folding in a heads-up, non-showdown pot.

I fully agree.. the WPT broadcasts aren't the same anymore.. I think a moment of silence is in order.. :shhh: :silenced: :cry: sighhh.. you will be missed

Dude.. you totally lost me somewhere around the first 10 posts..but for some reason I kept reading and couldn't pull myself away..Way to be creative

I'd probably have to go with the grain on this one and say -Ivey for intensity, and focus-Reese for overall poker knoweldge and experience-Freddy Deeb or Johnny Chan for fashion tips :wink:

I have to say, of all the positive things said about Jennifer, the best I've heard is when Phil Ivey said, "I don't like it when I hear people say that she's one of the best women players in the world, because she's one of the best players in the world. Period."

Ivey has to be my greatest overall inspiration in the poker circuit today. Besides his great play, intense focus, and unrelenting aggression, his overall enthusiasm for the game is something for all players to aspire to. This guy really is the face of modern poker. People make an arguement for internet players being the "New Generation" of poker players, but I think that Ivey's drive to improve his game is what makes him worthy of such high praise and success. He doesn't get up and scream when he wins, or sit and bitch and moan when he loses. He's a human sponge that absorbes everything the

Gotta love the pointless criticism and mockery on poker forums. Thanks pal.

I'd like to think I understand the fundamentals of games such as 7 stud and PL omaha, as the only experience I have in those games is in cash games. 7 stud was the game I began on and am most familiar with. The "grinder perspective" you mention is what I use in most cash games, and I wouldn't pigeon hole my play as volatile and luck-reliant. The reason I started this post was to gain opinions by several specialists in various games and checking out their opinions. I know and am quite familiar with the games and the strategies of the games I play, but am looking to pick up some specifics to hel

hey guys, i appreciate all the responses, but does anyone have any more specfic types of differences? I mean within the games themselves as far as hand selection, aggressiveness, and pre- and post flop play? I can't say that I play a drastically different game in either case, but I'm sure there are subtle differences in play.. just wondering if there are any cash game specialists out there that could throw their two cents in
