    is poker gambling?

    this argument is redundant. according to the dictionary definition of gambling, poker falls into this category. however, for the definition is woefully inadequate with regard to the larger question you are asking (i.e. you are asking this question with all the negative connotations western society has placed on 'gambling' in mind).
    dont mind him, his parents are lawyers
    ive had this argument with them. they dont understand. :roll:

    why i would love to play rebuy with johnnybax

    anyone criticizing jonny has no idea how to play a rebuy.
    i have no idea how to play a rebuy.but i don't it is proper strategy to go all-in EVERY hand, then double rebuy on top of that.actually, the only thing i think is improper is the first part. the latter seems fine, given the former.
    it is if you can expect to final table a high percentage of the time you get a monster stack. jonnybax can be quite confident in this regard.

    one more kinda interesting poker tracker question

    party's beta is no longer allowing mining. for those of us who still have the old one, mining hands (putting observed hands into PT) is still allowed. as per a previous post, there is nothing in Party's terms and conditions disallowing mining.i'm not at home, so i can't go check all my options to tell you how to mine. but it should not be particularly difficultt to figure out if i remember correctly. in PT there are some options about Observed Hands. mess with those a bit and see what you can do.daniel
    detailed instructions: in the auto import from party window (the one you open to import hands you have played) there is a tab that says observed hands. click on that, enable import of observed hands, and presto! you're importing observed HHs.

    And to the OP what about yourself?
    I play No limit here in Vegas usually a 2/5 game at bellagio, MGM or Mandaly bay.One main reason these games are so good is because in these types of games with the relatively small buy-ins people don't know how to control themselves.You can not really "bluff" in these games. Example.All the tourists come into town to play. Yippee says all us locals :)They watch too much WSOP or WPT and think they can bluff there way too a big pay day. Little do they know that most locals that play and obviously the experience tourists will play premium hands and you cant bluff them off a pot.I see it everyday (I play everyday).Why do I play No-Limit. Well when I play limit you'll get sucked out on so many pots because you'll get the drunk guy chasing down his flush or straight draw and hit it. (obviously this happens in no limit)But in no-limit you can get people off these hands so much easier if you are ahead in the hand before they make there flush or straight with a nice raise. Yes sometimes they will call you and hit but most of the time they wont.This is one reason I prefer no limit games.Who else has differnt views?
    I don't mean to change the topic but... OP's an idiot. You get sucked out on because you misdefend your hands, how about you learn to play limit then discuss its nuances. It's idiots like you that make limit profitable for the rest of us... Normally I'd let you wallow in your own idiocy but your BS self-righteous demeanor really censored me off. Furthermore learn the difference between to and too...Why do I play No-Limit. Well when I play limit you'll get sucked out on so many pots because you'll get the drunk guy chasing down his flush or straight draw and hit it.according to your use of the english language apparently you're the drunk guy who sucks out...but seriously, first learn english, then 4th grade math, then what expected values are, and then maybe learn how to play limit holdem.have a nice day, and I hope to have you donate to my bankroll soon
    Well someone stood on there soap box today.My sincere apologies for my typos, I didn't realize we were all college professors on here.And to clearify again, I said I play no-limit for the reason being...I flop top two pair and also 2 spades hit the flop, If I play limit holdem someone with 2 spades in there hand are going to chase that drwae for a CHEAP price.If I'm playing no-limit and the same situation hits if they're going to chase then it's going to come at a higher price than say a small limit bet.This doesn't seem to make sense to you i guess.And if you think I'll ever donate to your bankroll then PLEASE come on down to vegas and look me up!
    LOL... OMG i cant believe i missed this!!I take back every thing i said, You clearly are an idiot.case closed!.have a good day.and just for good measure:"jkdsagdas hdsgalkks" I just threw a copy of super systems on my keyboard and it made more sense than you did.
    Well before I go out one last post, because the more I read your replies the more dumbfounded I feel.I gave you a specific example of how you can take somebody off a hand playing no-limit vs limit. And by doing this taking the pot down then and there.You reply "I'm and idiot" with out saying anything else.
    you are too concerned with winning pots, the score in poker is kept in terms of money, not pots.

    He needs to lighten up and have some sex.  seriously, or maybe just realise that most of the posters here play all kinds of holdem, omaha, stud etc...   and he seems to only care about wether people play nl or limit.
    I guess this is what I don't understand.Can't you read or did you fail that in school?I seem to only care about limit and no limt.If you play holdem, then why do you play limit or no limit? Pros and cons.Why is such a simple question so difficult for you to understand?Please answer that.
    Not sure what you edited in this post, but anyways, You ask such a generic question in the general forum you're going to get general type replies.Have you even thought about cash games vs tournaments? heads up vs full rings??do you see where i'm going with this. Tell you what, you seem to really care abotu this thread so i'm going to be nice and hold your hand while we do this.I play all kinds of poker, but if we want to boil it down i play holdem more often.I play 1/2 NL cash games online, i find these to be a real money maker. I play some limit online, although when i play live its about 90% limit, mainly because the casino i go to doesnt spread a NL game.When i play tourneys i will play NL about 90% of the time, and thats because they have NL holdem tourneys more often with more players than they do Limit.When i play HU i prefer limit, when i play limit cash games i would prefer short handed tables, and when i play NL cash games it doesnt matter, short handed, or full.My experiences with these 2 types of holdem are pretty simple, You find lots of donks at both games at any limits.although I do find a lot of players think limit is all luck, and they end up at the NL tables. Which is the exact reason i prefer NL online. Now, Pot limit omaha tourneys are a lot more fun than any NL holdem tourney i've played in, and if they would offer these more often, i'd be all over it. But unfortunately , I, myself, hate waiting around for a tourney so i end up buying into the 1st decent MTT i see coming up.Hope this helps eazz the pain i've caused you in this thread.
    That wasn't so hard now was it?You guys are learning.
    you, however, arent. search function.

    Good Forum Discussion, Why I like 4 5 suited over AK !

    how did you idiots manage to go on for 2 pages about this? 45s is obviously a superior hand as it adds up to 9 and 9 is a magic number, being 1 short of 10, the tetrad. What does AK add up to? THATS RIGHT: NOTHING. its not even a hand comprised of numbers, and therefore cannot be added, thus reducing its value exponentially by a factor of 3 brazillian. I highly suggest everyone begin capping 45s on every street, particularily in partypoker 5-10 and 10-20 6max games. thats party. 10-20. 6 max.Also, smash, quit making up words like 'implied' an 'unimproved'. we all see through your silly verbal assault. you just want to keep the powers of 5 high to yourself.

    pokertracker vs pot odds

    you dont fully understand pot odds. you cant just say 'pot odds' and call a river bet. you need to estimate the frequency with which your opponents will checkraise worse hands then yours, and compare that to the odds being laid. for example, if the pot is 10 bets, and you must call 1 bet to see the showdown, you would need to estimate your chances of winning at better than 10-1 against in order to make this call profitable.
