So .. I love my job. I basically sit at my desk and post on forums all day and make 1k a week for doing so. I come in Late, and leave work early. I take 2 hour long lunch breaks. I get all National holidays off paid. This is my third year here , and I have 3 weeks of untouched vacation. I had a pension .. more to that later. I now have a 401k . Paid healthcare. Damn good job . Recently .. I inherited about 3 1/2 buyins to the main event. My pension was returned fully on my behalf , as a refund , not a cashout .. due to a discrepency when my employer originally enrolled me into it. So , because

1 – 2 - NL Binions Me: $100.00Villain A: $176.25Villain B: $111.00BB: 150ish .00 Me: 4 6 Villain B limps UTG, I limp in MP, Villain A calls the dollar, BB checks.Flop is: $8 -4 players-Q 8 4 Villain A checksBB checksVillain B bets $4I raise to $12 Villain A raises $12 to $24 BB foldsVillain B calls Me to act The pot is : $40 and is another 12 for me to call , roughly 4-1. My reads : Villian A: Young kid , was there celebrating his 21st birthday, his grandparents came and checked on him frequently. This was his first live casino experience, and was very visually happy when he took

When Villain raises to 6.00$ , why not just call? (Also Im not familiar with the "Villiam is **/**" , so I dont know what that means. But with AKsuited in a cash game, are you willing to get all your money in preflop without a made hand?)

(SW)Your right , guys im sorry I lied to you. (End Sarcasm Warning)My wallet is heavy , wanna hold it for me ?

Actually , theres no bad beat at MGM , I have 0 reason to make this up. Oh well , wheres theres a message board , theres always trolls .

Thats exactly what Im telling you. Was suprised that they were limping with that when I saw it , thing is .. if I wasnt in the flop , that limp might have been favorable for both of them if it was a different scenario. Like I said , SB seemed like a solid player mixing it up on occasion , and He had big PP's that he raised PF with prior .. I think with the lack of players (3) in the pot , they wanted to keep as many in and then try and trap depending on the texture ... unfortunatly for both of them I landed a monster. Another thing ... maybe they just arent that good? I thought it was a mistak

Nope! I wish , my story woulda been a **** ton better.

lol , i thought about some theatrics .... but then my mind quickly wandered to what I might be able to do with all the money I was about to win , lol

lol , I probably tipped well over 50 dollars in a few hours .

Ill tell ya this , Ive been a long time member here, and normally I stay at the queens and play at Binions only. I seem to get my *** kicked around there in the late hours because I think its got alot of local pros . I read alot about people saying MGM was really loose and its a soft game after midnight. I am a believer after that . Literally , something happens around 12am and people come in , start drinking and just give thier money away, and all I had to do was play ABC poker. I didnt have to make special tricky plays , or even have a read on most of the people. If I had hands to play again

Just flew into Vegas , and was really excited to be here. Last time I was here I lost my entire roll playing Blackjack at Binions, but was ready to just sit and play poker for 4 days. Decided Id go check out the MGM card room after all the stories Ive heard here . Walked in around 9pm, and sat down at the 1-2 NL. (No waiting) sweet!Bought in for 200 , and got it up to around 350 by midnight when this pot came up. 6 Players. Im one off the button with A 10 Clubs. I limp because about an hour ago I was called down with the same hand (I won the pot) , but I raised PF from pretty much same positio

Thread is useless w/o pics.

Acid_knight , your signature was put there to make fun of people who do that kinda fishy ****. Yet your giving him the same advice , lol .

Umm , maybe you should come play with me on stars , especially if your telling him to ignore his instincts just because the 'pot is right' PF. If the guy says he puts him on a range of QQ-AA , AK .. he's beat. And if your know your beat, why would you donk off money. To the OP: Trust your reads, if you feel that your beat , especially Preflop from an out of position raiser, there's no need to calculate any pot odds. Its a judgement call , do you feel like hoping to suckout , go right ahead but its bad poker.

while her pictures are interesting to look at , she scares me.

Preflop , the call is 'ok' I may actually release after the raise from the BB if you had already had him on that range of hands. After the flop , there are no overs on the board , and your 4 to a straight with a backdoor flush possibility. I think this is a good time to push. If your up against a higher pair , you have outs , if your up against queens it becomes harder. I push here. Even high PP's have to look at that board be a tad scared that you might have flopped something.

Ya know what , besides reruns and new episodes of WSOP ... PAD is the only tournament poker I watch. And after reflecting on this , Im thankful we have both PAd and HSP. PAD definitly fulfills my need since I only get 1 HSP a week . Both are awesome shows and intuitive in thier own right.

I dont agree there Kurt. Often times while watching HSP , the table talk is drowned out by Gabe Kaplan . He announces everything thats going on , and thats great , but Id rather hear the players talking about stories of the past. For instance, last night on PAD (tvio'd coulda been older) , Dolly and David Grey were talking about the LHHU match against Beal . I found it much more interesting, granted the announcer for PAD is a toolbox who spouts one liners, but it never drowns out the action thats going on . Another example , did anyone watch the Huckseed Hansen headup match? Barely any talking

Personally, Im choosing Poker after Dark, as I find it closely resembles HSP , but is more focused on the action and table talk.*Edit* Post your reasoning.

It made me laugh , hopefully you enjoyed it. Happy friday

All in all, it hadn't been a good day. Bad traffic, a malfunctioning computer, incompetent coworkers and a sore back all made me a seething cauldron of rage. But more importantly for this story, it had been over forty-eight hours since I'd last taken a dump. I'd tried to jumpstart the process, beginning my day with a bowl of bowel-cleansing fiber cereal, following it with six cups of coffee at work, and adding a bean-laden lunch at Taco Bell. As I was returning home from work, my insides let me know with subtle rumbles and the emission of the occasional tiny fart that Big Things would be happe
