Wouldn't pay, would be willing to click an add banner to support such a sight.Also why limit it to Vegas?

Rose, I had him all in twice from there. I remember him drawing vs pat once, I'm not sure if it happened both times on the last draw. So combined I was over 60% to win and it just didn't work out for me last night.

Fair enough. It was just a reminder I haven't played any heads up 2-7 in a long time, it used to be almost the only thing I played.Well you came back from a 10-1 chip deficit to havng me all in twice and then traded back and forth.That game is maddeningAt least none of the donkeys got 1st and 2nd though -
I'm probably less worried about that one then any other all game :)gg and well fought.(still, I've never been so mad about winning $50).

Donating my money.(which means I'm in and playing).

The leader board website is behind, so is this the last week of the quarter?Not that it makes much difference, I'm still in.

If you are really attached to the idea of a book, Harrington on Hold'em vol 1 explains the pot odds you get when a bet of x fraction of the pot is bet.

Thanks for the game everyone, smoked you really had me worried and I know I got lucky on a couple hands, but it was a great battle. I really wanted to finish you off in razz.

After how bad I played last week I should try and do a little better tonight, maybe, possibly.Goose, just because you can make a cheap Patton reference if you feel like it.

If your read is right, that makes you about 55% to win. So the fundamental question is do you think you will win the HU match at least 55% of the time if you fold?If he would move in with a hand like that, you can set up him with a big hand. If you can outplay him on the flop by just check-calling from now on, you would likewise have a bigger edge.So if you thought the blinds were an issue, calling would be reasonable. If you think you can beat him by grinding it's better to let it go.

Sammy is also the only player to hit 60+ home runs in more then one season. That alone is worthy of the hall of fame to me.

Okay, now that is doable. Even 1 month would have been a pretty crazy bet.After reading the story, I like Forrest's action. It would require almost a complete lifstyle change by Matusow.He has a year. Until June 3, 2008. pokerbiz story -
I'd be impressed if he did it in -1 days.If he has until July, I still think unlikely.

To repost what that dealer said (as if anyone will not disregaurd it and say whatever they think anyhow). This was posted on FCP, but I didn't save the username of the poster.
The limits can be anywhere from 1k-2k, all the way up too 4k-8k and every limit in between. It all depends on who is in the game and what they feel like playing that night. Occasionally there will be two "Big Games" going on at the same time with one of them being like 1.5k-3k and the other being 4k-8k.The game itself is almost allways a mixed game. I have seen just a limit or a no-limit game though. Sometimes guys like Gabe Kaplan are in town and like to play 1k-2k holdem, and the big game players oblidge. The mixed game could be anywhere from 4-10 games, again, depending on who is there. Some mix of holdem, PLH, NLH, Omaha8/b, PLO, hi-low regular, stud, stud8/b, 2-7 triple draw, no limit 2-7 single draw, A-5 triple draw, razz, and chinese poker with the occational variation of one of the above games, like pot limit omaha 8/b. The pot limit and no limit games usually have a cap on them (i.e. you can't lose more than 100,000 on one hand), but not always. Sam Farha hates playing with a cap.The game is normally spread at Bellagio, but does travel around the country during the big tournaments. Also, if Bobby Baldwin is in the game, it may be played at another vegas casino like Sams Town, Aladdin, or Golden Nugget.The players in the game pay $10 per player, per half hour for time. There is no $25 tip that goes the dealer ahead of time. The dealer makes what ever they make. Allthough, the first time I ever dealt this game during the 2003 world series, we did get that $25 when we sat down. -
A dealer has replied before and posted a lot of information about the game. This is a direct quote from what they said:"The players in the game pay $10 per player, per half hour for time. "That info is from 2005, it may possibly have changed since then, but it's probably a good reference point.

The last time I checked Florida law (and I confess this was a while ago) ANY stake home games were legal, so long as no rake or fee was charged.If it was only tips, you probably have a case for harassment (and if they took anything, illegal search and seizer).

Among other things, apparentheir spent over a half hour lecturing DN about how much he DOESN'T do for children.DN offered more then once to take on apparentheir at any stakes they wanted and the challenge was ignored.DN ended at about 32k if memory serves (and it probably doesn't), and at least once added 11k chips to a low stack of his.

Getting 10-1 on his money, B absolutely runs a profit.out of 100 trials, he hits the flush 20 times (using your rounded number) for $500 spent, he wins 105 twenty times, 2,100.For player A, if he came out with a $30, giving a little worse then 3.3-1 on the pot, and b calls every time, after 100 times, that bet amounts to 3,000 (each). A gets 80% of it for 4,800. B gets 1,200. So B lost $1,800 over 100 hands chasing that draw.Even though in your example A still wins 8,800 vs 2,200 (discrepancy is that I didn't count the last bet coming back the first time around) for B. The additional money committed to the pot is at a loss for A because he didn't bet enough, and allowed B to make a profitable call.

I cashed in, but I wasn't playing for FCP this time around.Please forgive me?

Not if I think I'll be called 1/3 of the time (hand is to easy to dominate by what will call you, I'd sooner push if an 89s).Not if I am 23rd or better.Even if you double up, you aren't going to be in any position to make a run at the win, so you can immediately discount any "if I'm going for the win..." statements. You would probably need to double up 4 times to get back in this, so discount that and worry about getting paid.3 rounds of play is pretty bad, but if others are under worse pressure then you, then your first priority needs to be giving yourself the best chance to make money, let it go. If you are 26th or 27th, move in.

Oct 03, 05 - 11:44 AM PC beta is scheduled for this week. There will be no public beta for the console versions.As for the release date, it has been delayed until November, but there's no official announcement on that yet.

Well I have not heard of Hansen swearing off the big game forever, but I don't know his reasons for why he would or would not play in it. As for why he would be playing 100/200 on stars instead, probably because he expects to make more money playing at that level, but you would have to ask him that, I'm just guessing.As for Daniel not playing in the big game, that has been well established on this site, search through it if you want more detail, but the short answer is because he works with the Wynn casino, and that's not where the big game is.Also, everyone talks about Negreanu and Gus Hansen being able to profit in the Big Game...then why aren't they playing there now??? I know they have both played there before...why did they stop??? Why is Hansen playin 100/200 on stars all the time when he could be playing in the Big Game!?!??! -
Let's say, hypothetically mind you, there was one player out there who could sit at the big game, and their win rate was pretty well flat, they were not going win or loose very much because they are right at, and maybe a little lower level then the other players.And let's say hypothetically, that they had the bankroll to sit at the big game, maybe they built it up, maybe they got lucky in a WPT tournament, maybe they got staked, in any event they get the cash.Now in this hypothetical scenario, let's assume the players thought process is similar to smash's (i.e. he's in it to win money, not bragging rights), not that big a stretch really.Now then, why would this, hypothetical mind you, player sit at the big game? If they are either going to loose, or not win as much as they would on line, for less risk, why would they even seriously think about playing in the big game? And remember, this person cares about money, not prestige or bragging rights.

I agree with Swift, UTG is committed to calling an all in by the BB, and he was unafraid to raise in to the chip leader, so he is definitely ready to play this hand, give him some credit and hopefully take your $20 happily.
