had not played until tonight... was exhausted from work and kids... played 3 more tonight, had a 16th (bad play cost me my chips), I will post the hand shortly. and a 3rd. Pushed TP and OESD, ran into ignorant end of straight so thus far, I have played 11, cashed in 5, with 2 10-18th, 9th, 5th, and 3rd. not bad so far.

I know bluffing off my chips in that spot was a bad play, i was tired when we got to the money and I have to close that spew leak in my game. It is something I need to improve is my end game. I can pretty consistently get into the money, however I find a lot of times I am average stack at that point at best, mostly I get to the last 20% of players and need to figure out how too steal better. I try to attack the middle stacks like mine but often get caught with a short stack or big stack looking me up. This is where I want to improve, is changing gears at the right spot. \I find the struct

thanks for the comments guys... I dislike NL cash games... or just do not have the confidence to play them right... so i stay away from them. If I build a roll, I will hire a coach to improve.I am staying with the 4.4's because I want to improve my tourny game for the WSOP, deepstacks etc... next year. I played my 2nd 4 tournies and had a 5th. I bluffed off my chips a couple of times once we hit the money (I was in 3rd when we hit the money) and had to grind back... I was really tired, when I was playing, but such is my life (3 kids and busy job) that is how I will be when I play. Overall,

did not get a chance to read the posts yet, but played 4 tonight....9th and 15th.... meh minor profit

Sorry I busted you, I thought you had a draw.... this is usally said after you suck on out on a bad read.... but really you are thankful... not sorry

I have been messing around and playing cards for years... have good runs, and bad ones but now I am getting serious. I have $450 on stars right now have made a decesion to play 100 4.40's by the end of July. i am looking for advice on what strategy to use to make this work. I think playing super tight for the first 3 levels, then continiously opening up as the blinds rise.or Do I play 100 45 man 6.50's? has anybody done this before?Any advice?my biggest winning years were when I focused on Mtt's so I am going back now. thanks is advance

I just got back from Vegas on Monday and the Venetian game is super soft. i didn't read this post before I left or I would have played at least one session at the wynn...Venetian game is super soft....very passive, and some of the hands I saw played aren't even playable in PLO.... 89Q2, 57J3, and crap like that. I am going back in November and staying at the venetian.... but might check out the Wynn game. the Horse games and mixed games at the Venetian were insane easy too... was making 5-8 BB per hour depending on the session.

anyone know how to do this with cash? is he still selling the stuff and is it on sale?

Mr. Desperate can raise alot but not reraise, unless he has a PP or AK... then being desperate is enough to push and pray... but hands that might raise from a desperate player are liable to in the small to mid PP, KJs+ ATs+ AJ+, all of which, so long as he can lay it down (i.e. not online) then the play makes sense... I didn't vote... but I think 7K is too cheap, I call my bogus UTG 87s raise with at this price... I also think the raise needs to equal 2/3rd of pot... and 7,8K into a 12Kpot... is about right... just my thoughts

If Fallsview signs a independant agreement with the WPT then yes they can be the only tournement provider. Think of MacDonald's and thier affiliation with Cola producers... you can only buy one kind of Pop. Is DN Playing the Fallsview event?

My opinion is simple, you don;t like don't sign it... their are lots of other waivers people sign every day... and those don't go to court... unless they are illegal... and the WPPT may be illegal... I don't know... but I think when they(lawsuit) group is representing the "Players" it now gives Daniel the right to state his opinion... he is a "player" isn't he? Educated or not, people form opinions everyday... some informed (Daniel's seems to be) and some not... Phil Gordon;s mp3 cast from the series stated "They could make blow up dolls and sell them in Porn stores across the country and we

no Qspade....

First,I discounted AA/KK because I saw him play them 2X and he made a min raise the first time, and flat called the raise the second time... he was in cutoff, and the button, blinds, and Utg were weak tight.... so a regular raise was not neccessary..... with those types of hands.... if he had them, he wouldn't want to scare me out... I did admitt my error was not thinking and leading at the pot... I think I should have lead $50-75 at it... 1/2 to 2/3 I pushedHe calledTurn 4dRiver 7hQQ is good... and so was my read.

42 comes I hit a straightthe other factor I need to consider is whether I want to risk 1/2 my stack on a race where I am only slightly ahead or wait for better situations where I am a monster not marginal favorite?

I was playing at Awka last night at the 2-4 and had a tight aggressive image. I am UTG +1 ($600 stack) and raise my AsKd to $15 (standard). Folded to another semi-tight aggressive player, who raises to $45. folded back to me. I think and try to play back hands he has played aggressively. I can't remember him re raising anything in the 30-45 minutes we have been playing. I put him on either AJs or better or more likely AK, AA, KK, QQ, JJ or TT, maybe but not likely AQs. I think of re raising to $100, but don't want to over committ on a drawing hand if I am dominated, or racing. I think

there was an article on Freddy Deeb, where he turn $60 into 96K in 24 hours... now that is a crazy run....

make sure you have the sam eaccounts... FCP and FCP pokernetwork... you logon to FCP the same way you always did... but if you use a different address (email it won't link them). try support again.. and watch for cap locks.... I should have been there on Tuesday... did the kid with nexen shirt do anything... I should have busted him

Custom36... about 4 months ago you help me out, when I put a post up looking for leaks in my game... you gave me some advice to start writing down key hands... not just poker tracker... but how I thought throughout the hand... anything you want as a return favor... I would gladly do... although... I went tap in June July and have been rebuilding, and actually cashing you... so 20+2 sounds best... let me ....

I think for a brand new site on a solid skin.... I love the support... never had better and that is why I will continue to play on the FCP site. I didn't like the skin of poker room. But I do like the players and have been playing at Hollywood, they had a great bonus.. but it is the players on the major networks that attract me... and the fish are swimming... I find the FCP skin a nicer skin then PR but not as nice as HP. I like the forums... always have... the only issue I have had with them is no access from work.. like I can with 2+2. Anyways Good on ya Daniel....I am still reeling fr

is that when it will show up?

I can't find it... is it under restricted?

I will attempt to get my chance back to play DN again... no all in in the dark this time baby... DN are you playing in it?

I kinda agree... here is the issue... you advertise free money to attract people, it needs to be crystal clear as to how to clear your bonus... that is the only issue... is the clarity of how to clear your bonus.... Ppl who complain that it is too hard can go Bonus Whore somewhere else.... Honestly, the sites bonus doesn't attract or detract me from it... the number of fish attract me, that's my bonusI am a new Omaha Fish... come and get me

James Cain/Kane(don't know which way) is the host of Gaming TV... which was featured in Bluff Mag.... looks pretty cool. I think Howard is starting a poker show.... why doesn't Daniel do something like this... he doesn't need an entire station... just a show... him, Scotty Ngyen, Layne Flack... would all produce a great show... Even Greg Raymer... because they have good persona's and don't seem like dry people... Howard.... yawnnnnnnnnn

this is a easy fold... playing a K and having the flush and boat complete... but you should have popped him back on the turn... you are leading, and make him pay... too many draws... you need to push your living nuts the only fear would be that he has a free roll.
