Thanks AAsnake I appreciate the changes made. I have never before even attempted to do one hence why I was asking for help. i based it off the main event from 2006 but changed the stack a few levels and the actual values. For those of you who just wrote junk or flamed me, you remind me why I stopped posting on this site a long time ago, too many on this people on this forum just attack each other for teh sake of it rather than putting something of value or adding anything helpful..

Hi,I'm starting to run some tournaments in me area for a local club and I am putting together a structure i think will be fun and fair. It will be a MTT and I'm thinking standard 9 per table, starting stacks 5,000 with 15 minute levels. I want to keep the levels moving without completely restricting play completely. Chips come in incriments 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 500, 1000 & 5000. Here is the structure I have in mind let me know waht you thinkBLINDS ANTE5/10 010/25 025/50 025/50 550/100 5150/300 10BREAK200/400 10250/500 25300/600

Yes. It defeats the purpose of a mixed game. I'm laying odds that there is at least one toolbox who will fond every hand except for his hold'em hands

I'm gonig to be there a couple weeks before also. I'm hoping i can give Australian players a better image than Tony "toss pot" G

This is the most over-asked and most under-needed question in poker. There was a cardplayer article this came up in and teh answer was genius, although referring to this happening on the 1st hand, if you don't have the balls to risk it with pocket aces you don't deserve the wsop title. A better answer is if you feel teh need to start a thread on this ****ing stupid topic you don't deserve to play poker, let alone win the wsop me

As the title suggests I am visiting various cities in the USA on my round the world trip which starts in 6 days! I was wondering if anyone could give me some good rooms to play in. due to travel budgets I don't have a huge amount of money to splash around but I still want to get some play in. I am hoping to play a few lower buy in tournaments and maybe a few cash games, but I hate really low limits so I might stick to tournaments. Anyone who could give me some info on good places to play in the following cities would be greatly appreciated:-Los AngelesSan FransicoLas VegasChicago (probably won

Ok, I'll pay those, they are grammatical errors. They tend to coem from bad habits from internet usage and instant messaging. The scary thing is a year ago I graduated with an english degree! I wouldn't even pass first year anymore!

If your going to pay someone out make sure its for the right thing, my spelling was wrong not my grammar assclown. While we talk grammar a sentence starting with "Where" is a question, therefore it should end in a question mark. When you get you facts straight you can sit down for half an hour, think up something you think is original so you can try and be one of teh "cool kids" who flames, only to be knocked back in your place again. Yes my spelling sucks cause I type too fast and make too many mistakes, I'm hardly going to loose any sleep over it. Back on topic - I'm sure it used to be all

Did anyone else notice in the "Your Online Poker Community" banner the glasses nwo have a reflection in them... but I mean c'mon it should really be 10-7 off in the reflection.Also I've never understoof why does teh guy in teh banner have reptile shink under his eye

Normally they say before which will be televised, but WSOP and ESPN reserve right to change, I've heard a few palyers say tehir tourney was supposed to be televised but wasnt cause anotehr event was put on, like Arieh's Omaha win and Gavin Smith hold em final table. I think teh only sure thing to make TV will be the main event. They will prob show teh Tunica main event cause Daniel won it and he makes good ratings. Probably anytime Doyle, Negreanu, Ivey, Matusow or Hansen win and event it's going to be televised cause those guys are the most marketable.

I like gambling on my personal skills or lack there of. For me it all really started around 18 (legal drinknig and gambling age in Australia), with dumb dares. I used to bet small money on dumb dares or feats. Like $10 says you can't walk up to that chick and tell her 2 angels must have fallen out of heaven and are dancing in your top. Or $50 says I can skull 4 beers faster than you. But it was always on myself I was never big on sports betting or betting on others, unless it was a big evet like a Grand Final or something. Some of my friends play pokies (slots) a lot but I can't stand the thin

warning: small pot will never work against calling stations and sheriffs. it is a system that requires you to pick up dead money. If peopel will call you to teh end it is never going to work case you will be paying off as amny hands as you are raking in, cause often in small ball you will be betting with a weak hand in order to try and pick up money

I'm not going to metion any specific situation but I too once dide this and lsot a lot doing it. I overcame it easily. I force myself to do one thing before making a decision. I make myself shuffle a stack of chips at least twice or do a chip twirl a couple of times. By forcing urself to stop and do thing before every decision you force yourself into thinking what to do. Eventualyl you will do these tricks as a pattern and not ahve to think about it. This also helps as it can disguise your easy moves, cause you are taking the same basic amount of time every time for every decision, its harder

TP/MMthat and gt off your pedestal...

Well its not legal but neither is shiving a guy for humping your boyfriend rosco the bodybuilder, but I'm sure that happens in prison too. I'm sure in a prison just a stone's throw from Binions you can get a bet placed somehow, he'd have plenty of contacts on the outside to place bets for him... he is a degenerate gambler and poker professional.

Nah it goes down better when you just drink it straight, especially after you have been sniffing it.

My only etiquite with a side pot goes the same in every game. Never stone bluff into a dry side pot other than that as far as I am concerned. I only say this cause stone bluffs are based on reads and weakness, and outplaying them based on that, yuo can't outplay a guy when he is all in cause he can't lay it down. My thoughts are that the guy all in is done playing his hand, I'm still playing mine with the other player(s) in a side pot, and if i've got a hand I can get value out of, I'm gonig to get my value for it.

Small pot poker is a hard game to play. I know I personaly l am not ready for it. The basics of it it getting involved in a number of small pots vs seeing only a few large ones. The reason behind this is that you can see the flop, then try and outplay your opponent after the flop. Normally it is employed only by those who are very good at putting people on hands and reading players, cause you need to be very good at this to outplay them. It is in essence chopping away at little pots and slowly building your stack by consistently adding to it with small amounts.One of the upsides is that you se

Who knows, it could be as simple as his contract with full tilt says he has to play X number of hours on lower levers to get more low level players to come and play there so they can say they played with Matusow. Also Matusow has publicly stated he dropped over a million on sports betting while in prison for 6 months and a recent episode of the circuit he said he is approx a 2 million loser online.Either that or he got hit by a Bus....

That is pretty sick.. does the guy have a degree in structural engineering or something!?

After ignoring the "cool kids" who have already psoted, have a look in teh strategy forum. Also try the search function, there have been lots of posts on bankroll in teh past and I'm sure one can help you. Good luck

"My stack is going up and down more than a $10 hooker on a friday night.""I've got a Gus" when someone raised pre-flop with junk and the deck hits them in the head

Totally agreed. While she played cutsie she obviously has a great grasp on the game and its concepts from fundamentals to the advanced level. Her dealing with steaming or getting stuck shows a high level of intelligence with the game and her emotions with it. I would in noT hurry to ever go near her at a table.

He will never hit her the way he is going. It was the funniest thing I've ever heard, he sounded like a 16 year old trying to hit on his best friend's mum. He got so excited and tried so hard to impress her, and Huff was just as bad trying to act all cool and rip on mouth to be the cool guy when he is clearly a huge nerd. That was one of the funniest circuits ever. I love her burn on Mike "I mean I was like how many times is this guy gonna try". She says poker funny too, what accent is that?
