  1. Post Disclaimer:  I am wholly ignorant of game theory outside of the chapter in TOP.Anyone else have a hunch that the benefits of game theory touted in poker are overrated?  Andy Bloch is probably a better game theorist than I'll ever be, but from what I've seen (admittedly, limited to TV) of his poker game I'm not overly impressed.  And he's not the only one... I honestly think you'd be better off studying psychology.Jeff
    how about chris ferguson?
  2. when playing 15-30 online ~ i would say just about 95% of all players have trackers running ~ thats why they are playing 15-30
    What would you be basing that on though?I can't say that i have any way of knowing that they dont, but i cant imagine "most" players having it.There must be some way of getting that stat.
    impossible to know. but the information pokertracker provides requires a skilled player behind it or its useless.
  3. this thread is filled with some horrible information. ive played the 15 game at halifax, it plays like 3-6 online, and thats generous. the 15 games on many online sites play like 40-80 live.
    You're right about the 15/30 game. Sometimes it is like a bad 2/4 limit game. lol That happens when a select group of people show up. Somedays its better to play 5/10 because you have 9 good player show up. That used to happen most of the time.But apparently its gotten real juicy lately. [/code]
    no, ive played with the regulars. they arent very good. i would imagine almost all of them would get crushed in a party 15 game, which would correspond with the results you are reporting.
  4. it is.  its what i wanted to do since high school.And yes i do have rns license and was a registered nurse for a year and a half until i got in anesthesia school and now i am a crna.  make jokes if you want but its what i always wanted to do and i only work Eight and half months out of the year. Perfect for me.
    what did the one male nurse say to the other male nurse...
  5. and honest mistake and playing poler are two differnt things.  I hope to think daniel would think the same thing and if he didnt it wouldnt mean i didnt like him. like i said earlier its not think i dont like the op its justed his judgement is a little clouded along with some of these other posters.  this is just my fellings about the situation
    slow down, breathe, formulate the words in your head before you type them. and i hate to break it to you, but daniel makes money when other players make mistakes. this is how poker works. those players dont want to make mistakes. they are trying hard not to make mistakes. these are honest mistakes. just my fellings about the situation... :shock:
  6. hmm Partypsux sounds like i struck a nerve sorry for doing that, sounds like your censored it didnt happen to you, sorry.  this is the first time ive ever told anyone aoutside my family and friends.  read his post and honestly almost didnt post my story.   then i saw people actually telly him way to go wish it happened to me.  Hope i never play a live game with and accidently drop any chips on the floor close to you cause you pocket those babies in a heartbeat.  your probably the kind of angle shooting censored that keeps people wary of poker players but dam i would be wary of you too telling him good game and nice play.  he knows it was wrong to just take the money. he knows it was wrong cause cashed it as soon as it could and then cashed out his pary account if didnt think it was wrong he woulndt have done these things.  He tried to cahs before it got a stop put on it.  there is no way anyone can justify taking the  money.  I t doenst matter if it was from a poker website or from a church it wasnt your money.  sure it may not be illegal but isure is hell isnt ethical.  and really says something about his character and yours.  no telling wha you do for money if someone wasnt looking.  i mean he even says he didnt need the money.  people that really need money sometimes get thier of ethical decisions skewed abit (maurce clarrett robing someone at gunpoint).  He took it because he wanted it which is very interesting to me.  i mean its just money.  I play poker because its very fun and exciting and i do want to win money but i have agreat job(doenst mean i wouldnt love to play poker full time) and outside of owning my home money just doenst mean as much to me that ill try my best take any money accidently sent to me by an honest mistake.  Im not saying i hate the guy for doing it or anything its just not the right thing to do anyone with good judgement would tell you that.the reason I started coming to this website is because i thought daniel is a class act(which he is and seems to be a very ethical person) and that would attract the same kind of crowd.  I love the joking around that goes on here and the flaming of oneanother but i was kind of distured not that someone would do this but that person after person would congradulate him.  must be just me.
    I hope your great job doesnt involve writing anything down. Maybe you should have spent more time studying and less time worrying about those poor people at the bank, while you were in school. oh, and by the way, your pal danny, he makes his living by exploiting peoples honest mistakes.
  7. This forum is nothing but a joke.Most of you can only put up negative responses to any post .I was right in the 1st place when i called you's bingo players and morons .Because if any of you that write the stuipd s hit you's write are either kids or morons.I have said what i have seen and the people i have played with on this site so far are nothing but bingo players.And if that offends you then i guess you must be one of them,other wise it should not bother you in my opinion.I am glad i have cashed out of this site because you people make me sick and i only wish i had a chance to run into some of you in person, And as for Daniel i cannot believe you endorsed this site.I guess the money and those fn americans rubbed off on you.i think you are better off to just stay there and stop wearing the leafs jersey.You may have been canadian before but now your just another fn american in my books and i hope i get a chance to tell you that in person the next time you are in toronto.
    Please don't advertise that you are from Canada! You're making the rest of us look bad!
    at least he didnt spell it 'youse'.
  8. I never thought that i could find a site worse than party poker.But you all here are the fn worse players i have ever seen or played with.Is this a bingo site or a poker site??All i seem to run into is nothing but bingo players that chase and play anything.But then again i should of known better seeing as it's like poker room(another bingo site with morons) that don't no what they are doing either.Have any of you played a live game??Do you play bingo in live games to or is it just a online thing that seems to bringo out all the morons.Plus just by reading the post the you fools put up is sickening,like a bunch of kids bit ching over spelling and crap like that.I'm not here to make friends so i don't care what you all think of this post.I just wish i could play some of you in a live game.So to all you bingo players or what ever the F you are.Pay back are a bi tch and one day you will get what is coming to you.I can just imagine what kind of replies this will get but i don't really give a F.Most of you morons are from the UK any how,and probally have never played in a live game in your life.And i am sure some one will say why do you play here then.Well i thought it would be a good site with good players so i put some money up.I won't be here for long thats for sure and it was a big mistake on my part,so good bye and up your azz with broken glass!!!!! put that in your pipe and smoke it...
    leave canada please.
  9. why would Mahatma call the 19k raise....he had to know the  other guy had the str8 or a flush draw or 2 pr....in all cases he was beaten!
    In the poker game I play pocket kings usually beat a flush draw or any draw for that matter....... :?
    not always. an up and down straight draw with a flush draw on the flop is favoured against KK.
  10. this is a sound strategy? not trying to flame, just honestly wondering. what if u will only get about 4 callers? at what point does the play become a losing play?
    When you get 3bet by a hand that dominates you and it's heads up.But that almost never happens at rama or brantford.
    ive played both these games, but only drunk. be prepared for some of the most hilarious idiocy of your life.
  11. One more side question. is beating the 5/10 doable playing SSHE, SS ABC poker doable?
    Of course.But it's not as easy as beating 2/4 playing ABC.I think you can be [One more side question. is beating the 5/10 doable playing SSHE, SS ABC poker doable?I think you can beat pretty much any limit on party if you play SSHE type poker - as long as you have good table selection.The thing is, playing by SSHE guidelines won't maximize your winrate. As you move up, your oppponents get better/trickeier. LP's turn to LAGs and TP's turn to rocks. You can still win playing by SSHE, but you have to know how to play against different opponents. Also, since you rarely play multiway-large pots as the limits increase, most of what SSHE has to say about poker, doesn't apply. I think you can still beat 30/60 on party if you play by SSHE guidelines and practice good game selection, but your winrate might only look like 0.5BB/100.
    screech, what do you think the maximum shorthanded limit you could beat playing textbook SSHE is? i doubt its higher than 2-4.
  12. hhahaha, definately not tard boy. i mean - maybe - in some cases but i often do stuff like that so that i can have an even amount in my account (rounded off to the nearest 50, 75 or 100 depending on how much money people have at the table) just a little OCD of mine. for example today i have $2002.35 in my account, i play $1-1 PLHE ($100 max buy-in) so when i sit down i may choose to sit with either $52.35 or $77.35 depending on how much money other people at the table are sitting with.thats not really a tell now is it ? maybe its a tell that i have weird OCD, but nothing to do with my poker play!i think you should take a look at online betting patterns and see what cards ppl showdown in hands - thats probably a better place to start with tells.... just quietly.
    wow, this is horrible advice. Its definitely a tell - you, for instance, clearly do not have a grasp of poker theory. If you did, you would realize that buying in for less than the max a) costs you in terms of EV every time you could have gotten more money in the pot or B) saves you money because you are -EV in the game and therefore shouldnt be there in the first place. people buy in for less than the max all the time in my games (5-10 SH HE) and invariably they are all bad.
