Worse yet, I've had times where I'm repeatedly pressing "Take my seat" after my current table closed, and it simply won't take me there. Eventually, I get there to find out that I just folded a hand. At least once, this happened to me while I was BB.Another time, I was BB 4 hands in a row, at the same table, for no apparent reason. No one had been eliminated. It was honestly as if something was "stuck" (low-limit MTT in the money). I lost about 40% of my stack to the blinds, and never recovered. I'm still in therapy.

I've had Aces two hands in a row, quite a few times. I've never had them 3 hands in a row, though I bet someone here has... Once out of about every 220 times that you get Aces two hands in a row, you should get them three times in a row. I still have quite a ways to go.

Nope, but Matt Russell does.

Playoffs.Just a thought.Play all of the regular events, anyone who cashes qualifies to buy into the "Big Event" (call it whatever you want). This would result in a lot fewer fish.Yes, it's kind of like the TOC, but then again, it isn't.

Hurricane Katrina was an inside job, too:http://www.enterprisemission.com/weblog/20...al-katrina.htmlAnd the government is covering up the Kennedy assisination, because Johnson was behind it.And we never really landed on the moon.Aliens are running the government.Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

I like my Kem's, but they smelled funny for awhile. Best cards I've ever used.Haven't tried Copags, but from the research I've done, there is little difference now that Kem was bought-out buy US.

I don't see this topic pinned anymore, so feel free to flame me if it is.Anyway, Walter E. Williams wrote a very good article here:http://www.townhall.com/Columnists/WalterE...ruly_disgustingIMHO, he has hit the nail on the head once again, as he often does.

Part of the problem is trying to make an argument FOR something that is generally considered detrimental. It's like arguing to make sure that pornography, and public drunkenness is legal. "As a drunk, I wish to oppose legislation concerning..." How can you make a decent argument? About the only thing you can do is bring up the issue of personal freedoms. It would be an interesting exercise to read-up on the issues that led to the end of Prohibition.Personally, I think there is a difference between playing poker and other types of gambling, especially when considering poker tournaments. I

I'm not a fan of any large sig pics, period.and the guy that keeps posting the chill pill. It's annoying.and my posts. They're also annoying.I should start a new thread protesting my posts. That would help a lot.

AK has about a 30% chance of beating KK. If I am the one with KK, the odds go up to about 60% that anyone with an Ace will beat me.Hope that helps.

I mucked.But anyway... Kathy Liebert is a very good player. In my opinion, she may be the top female player. She ain't as good lookin' as many other female players, but Barry Greenstein isn't exactly Tom Cruise...This entire thread seems pointless and tiresome to me.

What part was supposed to be funny?

Wrong!!! She's totally hot! What planet are you from???

I once read a quote from Chris "Jesus" ferguson that said something along the lines of "Any particular hand may be 90% luck and 10% skill, but over hundreds of hands, it's more like 90% skill and 10% luck." That's not anywhere near an exact quote, but I think the point remains.Using Blackjack as an example, The House has a 2% edge over the standard (non-card-counting) player. How many billions of dollars have casino's made at blackjack? A player can walk away from blakcjack a huge winner after only a few hands, but over the long haul, the casino will come out on top.Even if you have only a

Obligatory Kathy Liebert post.EDIT: Oh yeah, I guess it would be great if she won.

Sarcasm, I think.http://trulyrand0m.blogspot.comIt never hurts to try to give a fish bad information.

Honestly, I have to wonder if you're onto something. I'd like to see proof that it was his poker playing that caused him to lose that much money. He was a 4.0 student, but he can't figure out how to play winning poker??? I've been playing for less than 6 months, and I'm currently up about half of what he stole from the bank. Give me a stinking break!But yeah, I suppose there are some people that do suck that bad and still can't get away from the game or play at limits they can win or BUY ONE STINKING POKER BOOK! God bless 'em all.For me, online poker is currently a way to get out of debt

I've never voted against any Republican before, but I'm seriously considering it this election, basically because of these types of issues.I never liked Newt, but now I miss Newt. But he's also probably against online Poker...

strick: noun. A bunch of hackled flax prepared for drawing into slivers.Weird. I'm not sure what I'd do with a lot of hackled flax.

#6 TJ suited is one of my favorite hands.

How many people typically play in this tourney? I tried looking up that info yesterday, but I couldn't find a good answer and/or didn't know exactly what I was looking at.I haven't set up a real $ account on FCP yet, but if people actually play "well" in this tourney, it might be fun to join-in, even if just for the learning experience.

Say whatever you want, but when I see Kings beat Aces, it happens on the river at least 20% of the time. Yep, it's always on the river.

I rarely play O/8, but I've heard similar from a lot of (bad) players. Granted AA preflop in Hold'em is a much better hand than AA23 in O/8, but still...

I typed up a big long answer, but in general, I just have the following philosphical conclusion.If you believe in God, then you probably believe that certain people can be luckier than other people. If you don't believe in God, then you probably do not believe in Luck either.Nevertheless, I believe in God, but I generally don't believe that He cares that much about making luck swing my way in poker. At times I've wondered if He was making it swing the wrong way just to get my attention, though. "Stop being so arrogant!" But mostly, I think it was my poor play that got me into trouble, and

I'm thinking 777Aand then probably a J on the river.
