Patty, thanks for the updates. Been checking them off and on while at work.

That made me chuckle.. Oh man, I am still laughing. I hope the "tone" you typed it in was the same I read it is, cuz it is damn funny.

it's not obvious whether someone will raise you after you bet.If you are raised by the next palyer to act...someone might argue, a c/r would've gotten you more money. So just cut it off after your river bet.. or don't show any river action and ask "What's my play?"yeah, it was obvious you won; but not obvious what other palyers did.plus, I"m anal.got it for future use

Ummm... whaa?

Yeah, I saw that rule after I posted it. Even though I have been on these a long long time, I ever posted a hand, again, sorry.But, if my question was about the river, in this particular instance isn't the result fairly obvious? Or should I have cut something out?

I'll use a converter next time, sorry, first time posting a hand on here.my idea with the other streets was getting as much money in the pot as I could with as many people. I thought that was the best way to get the best value for my hand.

hey, thanks for the opinions after the razzing.

other than that. sheesh. you don't ever try a thing or two on a weak table and see what develops?i've tried a thing or two, but not open-limping with 43s.I admit that was a loose thing to do, no arguement from me there. But IF you were in that position where some how you did, let's say you misclicked, was the rest of the hand played well from there on out?Reason I am asking is because it was a rare time I had a straight flush draw and many opponents and tried to do it best I could.

yesand what could you do differently on the river? you have to bet the nuts.In a conversation with a buddy of mine, he thought checking the river would be better, since someone would raise. My thought was if someone had the A high flush I was going to get reraised, and since 2 people were hanging on, that seemed a distinct posiblity.

other than that. sheesh. you don't ever try a thing or two on a weak table and see what develops?

Saw some people wondering where Togo is, not sure if anyone answered that. It is a small little country in Africa on the western side of the continent. I know a dude from there, he is huge, 6'5" and stacked. Has about 20 half brothers and sisters over there. Seems his dad is a busy guy. :PI actually was talking to a guy from Kenya about Africa and Togo, he said most of west africans were that big, and that is why Kenyans were fast, so they could run away from them.

Sadly, I am one of those that now also enjoys Zoolander after HATING it the first time. I REALLY hated it and thought everyone who liked it had to be idiots. Then somehow I saw parts of it a second time... and... sadly... I have become one of "THEM". :(I said it could never happen to me. Don't think it could never happen to you. Prepare. Don't ever watch it again if you wish to avoid my fate.

Doing that will make me have to post more often, whether or not it is actually a useful post... i.e. this post I am doing right now.

Agreed. I met her as well in the Spring, and wrote a post here about it I believe. Super friendly, even after a tough loss. I was duely impressed.

Wait. Is the other guy Freddy Deeb? If so, I bet 1k. :wink:

If I was playing live, betting 1000 may work, but at least in my experience in online play (granted at lower limits than daniel), a value bet-looking-bluff rarely works. I actually thing betting 1k is the worst thing to do. But I find it hard to believe that someone would check the nuts on the turn and river as well (but I did run into one such fella actually the other day). So, going all in might work best for the online crowd. Say he probably will call, but may fold.When he sees that bet of all in, he thinks:A) Whatever. Obvious overbet to scare me. Split pot. I call.B) All in? Crap. He has

Oh. Snap.

Yup. Think we all figured out who the new guy is. Gigs up.

Wow. Just Wow. Picking a winner is going to be so hard.

So I have been going to this site for a while, right? I don't post all the time, but check it every day, joined the forums the first time it opened, blah blah blah...So often times when I don't have all that much time, I just see what new posts daniel has made and check those out. Usually there is one or two, sometimes a small handfull of new ones to read. Whether about poker or not it is interesting I usually find myself thinking when I am done reading Daniel's posts, "I sure wish he would post more..."...Then in the recent past, Daniel has been on FIRE, I can't keep up with em. Sure, there a

Oooooooh, I dunno about that. When I was in vegas talking to Jennifer, she was sending out some PRETTY strong singles to yours truely... pretty strong. She's got that flirt skill covered when she sees something she wants, letmetellyou.yeah, yeah... (SW)

I think I am going to make a habit of posting after daniel in each thread and then agree with him as though I thought the same thing all long. (sw)
