  1. I'm usually pretty critical about how people running around like panzies. But I didn't catch myself questioning any of The Grinders celebrations. I mean the other fella was walking around talking to people in the crowd Andy Bloch.Now if it was a full table and everyone was just sittin there playing it might have been a little weird. But it seemed to all flow well. I knwo that sounds kinda weird but oh well.
  2. AHHHHHHHH, The old "double up catch up". I have never lost with that. Because I got lucky and finally got smart. I was a BJ dealer about 10 years ago and broke people doin that.The worst I ver got was : Bet 5 lose10 lose20 lose40 lose80 lose160 lose320 loseBy this time I had a little bit of a crowd.Bet 640 win!A few people clapped. I said heck all I won was 5 bucks.I had a friend that liked to bet the line on roulette wher you got 2-1 on your money. He came back to work with no check.
  3. My dumb a$$ raised a guy UTG who was prtty tight and had me out# in chips. It started with 2000 people and there were 150+/- left. I raised him with AJ and he flat called me. KQx on flop and he checked to me. The majority of my chips were already in the middle so I was committed as far as I was concerned. So I pushed all-in and he called me with AK. I got what I deserved.But as I was pressing the raise button I was telling myself to fold.
  4. he collapsed becasue of bad luckhe ran into some hands in which he played fine, he tryed one bluffbut the huge hand was when he was down to 700k or so and Hoyt Corkins went allin from SB with 87o Dags called with TTboard: J777xDags played tat table fine, it just wasnt his dayMy point is that he could have sat back and only played high-percentage hands (Ala Negreanu at Borgata, who didn't see a flop for the first hour of the final table) and been in great shape for the final 5 or so, but instead he kept pushing and got himself crippled. Then acted like a total child, but that's neither here nor
  5. Like the others I can't really say w/o looking at hands. But I would say loose up some. Maybe play some more connectors and suited ones for sure. Raise more in late position. Another thing I do by feel (I don't really know what that means on the internet) is raise it up with nothing and then call the flop and check raise the turn. Almost no matter what. The thing I do wrong sometimes on that is I friggin price myself in my betting too much.Maybe it's a good thing not to listen to me though.But don't get too crazy. Don't lose a decent size pot and push all in in early position with A rag. I sti
  6. Every time I see a topic about a "fish" I'm scared to see it all about me.
  7. Actually the safari is pretty fun. You drive through and all these animals come up to your car looking for food. They tell ya to keep your windows shut, but everybody's always got them open. I saw a monkey snatch a sandwich out of a kid's hand once.Giraffe slobber doesn't come off your windows as easy as you might think though! Is that the one in St Louis?
  8. As the great Chau Giang once said "I like pokah".
  9. What is going on with it? There's like 30 people on every waiting list. I finally get on a table and it's shut down for maintnance.
  10. Will you have access to a car? There isn't much going on around the metropolis known as Tunica besides the casinos. If you want to play where you stay then I suggest Gold Strike or The Horseshoe. The Grand is also pretty nice.If you have a car then I would go up to Memphis and check out the sites. I won't sit here and waste a bunch of time typing out where to go unless you're going to hav a car.So lemme know. Also what type of things interest you outside of poker? That would help me in what I reccommend.
  11. I read so many of these threads talking about watching these pros playing 300-600 and up. The highest I see on Party Poker is 1000/NL. Am I not looking in the right places?I'm also curious if you can go to a poker site and just observe?At one point I was going to sign up at Full Tilt but they wouldn't take my credit card on their site. I mean it works on Party but not there. Anyway so that's why I don't just sign up and then play and observe there.
  12. I am taking wife and kids to the St. Louis Six Flags on June 1st. I hope it's as much fun as it looks.
  13. I heard the first time you see it you think it sucks. Well that's what I thought when I saw it several years ago. So on everyones advice I went out and bought it today.
  14. Very good points....I agree about why should I complain..Well kinda. I'm glad to see some people are that bad but it didn't make my KK getting busted make me feel any better.
  15. Are ALL limit tournaments a joke?Guy calls capped bets preflop with Qc4c. Gets a Q on the flop with a backdoor flush draw. Goes runner runner club and gloats about it.
  16. I was playing in a tournament at Sam's town last week and was dealt QQ two hands in a row. Both times I faced 1 over. The first time I lost and they held the second time.
  17. To even THINK of layning this down is incredible......Chau Giang in the poker tournament on the GameShow network.I may not be exactly right on this but it'll be close.Chau had QQ....Paul Wolf has J7. The flop was J-J-Q. Turn was nothing and the river was another J.After Wolf went all-in Chau came close to laying that down. I would have thought to myself the only way I'm beat is if he has a J and that's a risk I'm willing to take. I would have thought all that in about .10 seconds and jumped in with my chips!!!!Same thing at the end of the WPO in Tunica. The other guy gets hsi straight on the r
  18. Why do they call a pair of pants a pair? Why do they call a TV set a set?
  19. Look on about page 2 or so.....It was a hot topic for a couple hours.
  20. That is a funny movie."Did you see Oprah yesterday? Oh the one about ****ing toast? Wha?
