Ok....I agree with you guys that theres way too much filler on the NHUPC, and that the hands they do show are good....however I disagree with these 2 points....1)Gabe Kaplan is a hell of a lot better than Norman freakin Chad....hes way more knowledgeable about the game, and a lot wittier imo......2)This 'old guy youve never heard of' happens to be Henry Orenstein.....the creator of the hole card cams widely used today, a holocaust survivor, inventor of the Transformers(among a bunch of other things), and a damn fine poker player....when Phil Ivey started out Mr. Orenstein kept him broke for mo

:clap: :bubblewow: Puts it into perspective, doesnt it?? Now thats a post that should fire you up!!! Well said.

I have to respectfully disagree with a lot of you guys on this one.....this is not the time to be passive, and 'wait'.....this is as good a spot as any to take a shot and double up(esp. being the shortest stack left).....to attack is to win, to defend is to lose

Agreed.....this was my thinking as well 8)

Yeah... good one. Actually he talks about Pot Odds, Implied Odds, Position, etc. in a mathematical and theoretical sense. But I'm sure you playing your retard buddies in a 3$ buyin home game know beddar dan to read dem stoopid bookz.LOL....couldnt have said it better myself :clap:Idiots who dont know what theyre talking about should stick to lurking....hey, subz.....ill bet your games real strong making comments like that about Sklansky....lol.....wow

I agree....the structures awful....i still watch it, though, cuz im a poker junkie :shifty:

Outstanding read, thanks for the link :wink: :bubblethanks:

Excellent advice....well said

LOL.....thats beautiful :clap:

I do it every year with Turbotax....Best way to file BY FAR!!! You get your checks(State and Federal) within like 2 weeks!!

LOL.....Agreed......I didnt get a $hitload back....about 2 dimes

Excuse me, Im an idiot.....I know that, but for some reason I thought you were talkin about Knight anyway....I dont know :oops:

LOL....anyone else think this is freakin hillarious??!!!! :roll: :lol:P.S. For you Indiana Alum......Yeah, Bob Knight really sucks.....horrible coach......(SW)LOL.....you may not like him, but you cant say hes a bad coach.

can you blame him? that was a ridiculous beat, i swear hoyt corkins seems terribly lucky sometimes, did something similiar to lederer like the epidsode beforeI agree 100%.....and it wasnt just that last beat by Hoyt....the whole final table went horribly for Johnny....hand after hand, he got his money in good, and BAM!! bad beat after beat....I really felt for him, Johns a great kid that was brutal.

I provided most of that info in my 1st post, but here goes.....We were playing $20 a guy....6 players....we were down to 4 handed(blinds r 2/4 no ante)... when this hand came up(I was in 2nd chip position just below my friend in SB)......UTG I look down at KK..... raised to 3x BB....dealer folded, SB called, BB folded.....flop came Ks 5c 6c.....SB checks....I bet about the size of the pot....he called pretty quickly (right here, I put him on a flush draw-prolly big cards)....turn comes off the 2d....again, he checked....I thought for a sec. and went all-in, thinkin I'd pick up the pot right th

No one has any comments for me about the hand I described??!! C'mon, guys please.....this is one I just cant get out of my head....Would love to hear your thoughts on it. (See a few posts up)....heres another thought from me about it....I didnt think he would call a PF raise with a 34, so it was hard for me to put him on a str8.....I dont know....I guess I shouldve been more cautious with it, but I didnt want another club to fall, and like I said.....that damn 2 looked so harmless!!....ughhhhh.......god I love this game :!:

LOL.....hes horribly slow.....other than that, hes got great feel for the game.....i think he doesnt know how to slow down sometimes, though....overall, good player but man, he could put you to sleep!!

Speaking of pocket cowboys I played a hand the other night that really pi$$ed me off.Just wondering if I could have played it any different. UTG look down at KK....raise 3x BB (standard raise in the game)....get 2 callers......flop Ks 5c 6c......I bet about the size of the pot.....get 1 caller.....turn 2d....after some thought(I'm thinking hes on a club draw, cuz he called pretty quickly on the flop) I go all in for almost all his chips....he thinks for a sec. and calls....shows me 34c......ouch!!! I didnt even consider the str8 draw....I've been replaying this hand in my mind, and cant help

LOL.....I love it....Smash hit the nail on the head here....took the words right outta my mouth.....You Jays fans are out of your minds!!! hahahahahahahaha

LMAO.....youre right.....wow....can u tell i havent been sleeping much lately??!!!

Thanx, man, but I figured that out.....just wanted to bust his chops a bit. My favorite Stu move was when he bluffed Ron Stanley out of a huge pot with Quenn high......Stanley never recovered(Stuey flipped over his cards as soon as Ron folded)and busted out shortly thereafter.

This is interesting......Sorry, but Stuey died in 1998, so this is hard to believe....also, what do you mean about the bluffing?? I would assume you didnt mean Stueys moves, because he made some brilliant plays at that table (1997).....please elaborate.

No prob. brother......and, I agree.....Pearls before swine, well put.
