I was playing $5/$5 PLO at the Edgewater Casino in B.C. a few days ago and this hand came up.Me: $750 (bb)Villain: $1,200Hand: Ac 8c 5h 3sStraddle UTG to $10, five limpers, I limp, straddler checks option.Flop: Js 6c 4cEveryone checks to last limper on button who bets pot of $70. I immediately re-pot to $280. Everyone folds to villain who cold calls it.Turn: AhI...

How big was the game you were playing at Venetian Ricky?
-
Agreed CobaltBlue, but there are some ingenious moments. Exposing all of those parents of child actors/models and asking what they're comfortable with was quite shocking.

He's had two opportunities to check-raise you with a flush and didn't do so. Now a wheel is made on the river and he suddenly ships everything in? Smells like he either made a wheel on the turn and is trying to scare you out or he missed hearts and wants the pot badly. If he flopped a flush, good for him, but I'd call pretty happily here.
-
Looks like he has a flush draw and will fold if you lead into him. I'd check and see if he bets. If he does, re-pop him and take it down. He probably has Ad A xd x or Kd K xd x.

Another One Bites the Dust by Queen is pretty appropriate when someone busts out at your table.

Night Daniel, godspeed in Day 2 and the final table hopefully!

I'm not saying that ALL donkeys will disappear, but with better players to play against and more of them, your own skills improve in time due to the environment being more talented as a whole. Raking pots against donkeys are nice and will always be a happy time; but improving your play and being able to elevate your own game also allows you to win more money and makes you less dependent on the donkeys.I'm not saying dead money isn't a good thing, because that's how many bankrolls are started. But, the harder you try to play against fields that are more skill intensive with serious players, the better you get, which should result in the long term, more pots.

This thought isn't very fleshed out in my mind, but it did occur to me;If the U.S. constitutes around 70 - 80 percent of the online player base, a lot of the poorest players must come from that particular base, right? When the bill is signed into law, "casual" (nicest term for bad players) players may just give up playing online due to their lack of effort of finding loopholes. Would that in turn lead to strengthening the overall play of the remaining player base because of less donkeys?Feel free to flame, discuss, and such on my weird and somewhat optimistic tangent I've presented.P.S. Any American poker refugees (is there such a concept?) are welcome to come to Canada. We have lots of room!

B! I love my straight draws!

You sure you're not a lawyer Daniel? That's pretty much what you said in your blog without the legal terminology in it. This will not end well for the players involved, and the WPT may just end up banning these players.

If everyone went all-in like Humberto Brenes does, the poker world would be a better place.

Well, 7 minutes into Day 1 of the ME, someone's already busted out. How would you deal with that kind of embarassment just from getting up from your table and walking (or running/crying/swearing) to the rail?Agh, stupid topic name, forgot the You in there obviously.

Happy birthday Daniel! Here's to you getting pocket aces all week long at the Main Event!

That would explain why, I was only 15 back in '99. Definetly didn't like those type of movies back then. Thanks for the answers, 2 in one minute!1999 movie "Three Kings"Here's more on the movie:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120188/ -
"That's a good move Fillmaff, I'm all in!""You see this is why I'm a worldwide poker champion because I've got... Horse#$%@!"Paul's daughter pushing that stack of chips to the middle was funny too.Only reference I didn't get was, "Call George Clooney because I got three kings!" What is that referring to?
-
Esfandiari is definetly playing great in the episodes, aside from Harman's pocket queens which busted him. On his website, he even has a quote that's stuck with me. "I play pocket jacks the same way I play pocket threes."One thing I've never understood (possibly because I don't play NL cash games too often) is why the players have chips to bet with, and in addition to that, they have actual cash to bet with. Wouldn't it be easier just to have all chips? Does the cash have a psychological effect when it's bet in the place of chips? (i.e. Negreanu's bricks from Season 1 of High Stakes) An explanation of that would be appreciated.

So there are 6 3s in the deck?OK...One hand I was playing online, I had pocket 3s. The flop is A3A, so obviously I'm sticking around for the rest of the hand, but just call to keep the action going...there were three others in the hand. The turn is another 3 and there were bets before me, so I decided to go all-in, natch. The other three stick all their chips in. I forget what the river was, because my quads were up against 3 full houses.It's not as though online doesn't have its own share of quirks.EDIT: Wait...the river was a 5...that's right, because there were two hands of A-3, of poket fives, hence the three full houses. Sorry if that was confusing. -
I stumbled across this site thanks to Wandigo's link. I'm going to be ordering this table today probably! http://www.bigslicksuitedpokertables.com

Not really a matter of if something is going to happen now, but what happens. Harrah's cleans up their act and gets things right? Maybe they want to avoid the "inconvenient headaches" of running a tournament properly and sell the rights to another casino? Speculating aside, DN is about to come down on Harrah's like the hammer of Thor, the results will be favourable for the players and the WSOP as a whole, I'm sure.

Your outburst could very well be the catalyst needed to ensure that debacles like this don't happen again at the WSOP. I'm sure a lot of the players were much too shy to speak up about it and decided to "go with the flow." But that's not what you pay good money for. You wanted to play in an event with specific rules with said money. (I'm sure this was your thought process so I don't mean to sound redundant.) When those rules changed, your money is not being used in the way you intended. I'm sure the majority of players would agree with you in this situation, regardless of the way you tried to get your point across. We at FCP got your back Harry!

Here we go, as my summary of each episode continues!Hand #1:Esfandiari gets QQ and flat calls, Farha has Ac8c and raises, Esfandiari re-raises to which Farha goes all-in immediately. Esfandiari calls and Farha flops three aces, winning 44K.Hand #2:Mizrachi has Jc10c and calls, Chamanara has KcQc and calls, Farha has AhJh and raises, called by both of the other players.Flop comes 10 6 A, Farha bets 9k and is called by both players. Turn brings a 9 and Farha goes all-in for 29k, and wins the pot there for 47k.Hand #3:Farha has Jh4h and calls, Negreanu has 5c3c and raises to 2k, Chamanara calls with 9 9 as does Farha. Flop comes 4 2 7, Negreanu bets out 5k and is called by both players. J comes on the turn giving Farha two pair and all check the turn. River brings K to which Sammy bets 20k. Daniel folds and after a lot of debate, Chamanara folds his nines.Hand #4:Matusow raises with AQo, Laak flat calls with pocket tens. Flop comes 4 3 Q, Matusow bets 5k and Laak instantly folds. Great fold by Laak.Hand #5:Laak has K9d and calls, Esfandiari raises to 3500 with 9c3c and Laak folds.Hand #6:Laak has pocket sixes and calls, Negreanu checks his A7o and Farha's in with 52o. Flop comes 9 A 6. Daniel bets out 2k which is met by a raise from Laak to 5k, to which Daniel re-raises again 10k more and Laak flat calls. Daniel bets 12k in the dark with the turn coming 8d. Laak calls the bet. River brings the 3c. Daniel checks to which Laak bets 44,400. Negreanu debates for a while and eventually calls. Laak win 137k.Hand #7:Farha raises to 2k with Kh10h, Negreanu raises to 5k with 5 5, Laak re-raises to 25k with KK. Farha folds and Daniel calls. Flop is 9 9 A. Both check. Turn is a 7 which goes check check again. River brings a 4, Laak bets and Daniel folds.Hand #8:Jennifer Harman has now taken Mizrachi's seat. Negreanu raises to 2k with 10 8o. Laak calls with 7h5h. Flop comes Q 5 4, Negreanu bets 4k and Laak folds.Hand #9:Esfandiari has 3 3, Farha has 10s7s, Negreanu has 85o, Chamanara has 32o, and Matusow has 54o, all of them limping in. Flop comes K 8 J, all check. Turn brings a second spade, 4s. Farha bets 4k, Daniel calls, everyone else folds. River brings 2c, Farha bets 12k, Daniel is convinced Farha has nothing and calls.Hand #10:Harman has 3 3 and limps, Matusow has 8h6h and limps, Farha raises with Js9s which are called by both players. Flop comes Ks 2 8s. Farha bets 25k, Matusow quickly declares all-in which is met by an even quicker call from Farha. They negotiate a pot size between the two of them and run the hand twice. First hand comes Qc 7h which Matusow wins. Second hand comes 7d 4s which Farha wins and they chop the pot.Hand #11:Negreanu raises to 2k with Jd10d (my favourite hand
) Chamanara calls with A5o and Matusow calls with J9o. Flop comes 3d A 9d. Chamanara bets 6k and Mike and Daniel call. Turn brings 3c and all check. River brings 2s, Chamanara bets 10k and Matusow calls. Chamanara wins 45k. Remarks are made of Matusow being a PFW or Pay-Off Wizard, which is someone who knows they're beat on the river but pay off their opponent anyway. Funnnnny stuff!Next time: Matusow and Negreanu keep the verbal up apparently. Todd Brunson will be taking Phil Laak's seat.Best line of the episode, "You can't play for napkins!"Also, anyone see Gavin Smith in the room at the end? I wish another Canadian would represent the table, that'd be awesome!
