Flopn Nutz

I busted at the 1/5/10k level, all in preflop with TT vs AQ. Q on the flop sent me home. Got my stack from 116K at the start to about 220k before busting. It was right around 190th place.Good luck to everyone in the next events.

I loved this structure. Everything about this tournament has been top notch except for a few terrible dealers, that always tilts me for some reason.I noticed a lot of people chipping up early to around 60K and then chipping down back to around 30K and getting super frustrated because of it and spewing all the rest. It was blowing my mind how many times I saw this happen. The werent even realizing they were at or above average.

Nothing to special happened for me day 1. I only had maybe 6 showdowns, was only all in one time, and only had one preflop showdown from a short stack SB all in that I called with AT from the BB. He had 22 and I saw an ace in the window... followed by a 2. Biggest pot I played was with AsQd on a Ad 4d 8d Kh Ks board. I checked the river and this kid insta shipped 25k into a 13k pot. I took about 4 minutes before calling a clock on myself. I was fishing for tells, he looked very uncomfortable and didnt want to say a word. I finally tried what I call the "Jamie Gold tell" where I pump faked a ca

Ive got $116K going into day two. Pretty happy overall with that. I believe it is around the average finishing stack for 1A. Drew table 4 so didnt have to move all day. My table was soft and almost everyone that got moved to it was just as bad so it was nice not moving. See you all at 2!! Good luck!!

Im not retarded, I understand that there has to be some work done after the tournament was over. Just wanted to know if anyone knew exactly what was done, for nothing more than to satisfy my curiosity. Some great posts, thanks guys.

So Ive noticed over the last couple years that Mike and Vince's commentators booth will flash in the background during some shots of the table. It seems pretty close considering how loud they may be talking and how quiet the set can get during action.Im watching a Borgata episode (with Gavin Griffin) and when Lee Watkinson was all in with 77 vs 88, Mike Sexton says "If he doesnt catch a walking stick he'll be walking out of here." As soon as he said it, Lee repeated him. I also remember seeing one of the Caribbean events where they showed a shot from distance of the table and it looked like th

I run a pretty successful home game once/twice a month. We average around 32 players. Each start with 5,000 chips 25 min levels and the blinds run:25/2525/5050/10010min break75/150100/200150/30010min break200/400300/600400/80010min break500/1000700/14001000/20001500/3000I used thetournamentdirector.com when I had my PC but I had to switch to Tournamenthero.com for my Mac.

They actually were super raked lol. 10% to $5 plus $2 for high hand bonus which I rarely won because of stupid "river card must show" rules and $1 for a bad beat jackpot that I also never won.

I kept track of my 1/2 home game sessions for a year. I played an average of 15 hours a week at 3 different games and averaged exactly $35 an hour. This was 75% home games and 25% Atlantic City.

Oh I agree 100% here. This particular game is unbelievably soft. Its a charity cash game in the ghetto. 99% of the players have NO idea whats going on.At a tougher game, I play the QQ differently.

I thought $25 was the perfect river bet. 9T was the number one hand I was considering and didnt think he would call anything more. Keep in mind that he only had $75 left. Anything more than $25 I dont think is getting called.

The game is $1-$2NL charity poker 9 handed. Background on villian: About 10 hands prior I raised with QQ to $15. He calls after limping from MP. Flop is T88 he check calls $25 on the flop. Turn is a J and he check calls $40. River is a 2 and he checks, I bet $25 putting him on 9T or QJ and think ill get paid off against both hands. He moves all in for $50 more and I call, he shows 9T. At this point I dont put him on being a very strong player. I thinks its obvious that hes beat and that Im not folding for $50 more. From this point on, Im looking to get into pots with this guy.Anyway, so here i

What do you guys think of this game I played last week:1-3NL home game played once a week. Host provides a steak dinner, sodas, water, red bull, beer, liquor, and snacks. Has a huge 11 person table with a great dealer. Big hidef TV and plenty of room. Average buy in $250-$300 and the host allows regular players to borrow if needed. They take 10% to $6. Good game?

Hahahah, now that I think about it there is a chance that theyre havin buttsex. I may have to stop running this game.

There is def some back story I forgot to mention.Player D is a nice guy as wel and likes to play for the fun of the game, not to make money. He thinks the world of player B... he also thinks that player C is a bit of a scumbag, so thats why player D flipped out even though he wasnt actually involved.

So we have a weekly home game that has always been low key. Everyone is pretty tight and usually gets along ok. So last week we are playing 1/2 and an interesting hand happens. Player A moves all in UTG for $25 bucks blind. Player B, the homeowner and nicest guy you will ever meet, calls. Player C also calls from the BB.Flop is 10 7 2 and player B bets $25. Player C, who is very loose and pretty terrible, moves all in for $200 more.Now the story with these two is that they are pretty good friends. As I said earlier player B is the home owner and is the absolute nicest guy in the world. Hes ver

Im getting everyone at the home game Friday to throw in $5 bucks each for tickets. Someones gonna run to 711 and buy about 150 tickets... cashiers gonna love us.

Id love to get some info from anyone who does or has worked for the Bay101 card room in San Jose. Please post up or PM me. Thanks in advance.

You know what I mean. Theres no way either of have anything in this hand but AA KK QQ JJ or TT.

Sorry guys I needed a J for the gut shot which he had 1 of already so I only picked up 3 more outs.

So me and a few friends went up to AC this weekend for the WSOP events. I planned to play the $340 event Friday and then again on Monday. Got there at about 6PM Thursday night to register for Fridays event. Got that taken care of and was deciding whether to play cash or go to sleep. It was wayyyyyy to early for sleep so decided to play at the Trop since thats where we were staying. I only brought about a grand to play cash so I decided to play 1/2. There was no wait so I figured Id spy on some tables and see if I could find one with some lunatics. Immediately I see a guy blind bet for $50 unde

Me and about 10 others will be heading up from Virginia. Heading up Thurs to play the Fri noon then probably gonna play the Borgata daily Sat. Got a room for the whole week so as long as I stay in the positive.... it should be a fun week.

I had a laptop that had the tournament director but lost it in a break up, bitch.... my buddy has a room just for poker with two tv's and we want a DVD program we can put on the tvs. I remember seeing a commercial a long time ago about a DVD director but cant find it anywhere.

Hey guys, where can I find DVD tourney directors to show blinds and levels? I have the one from www.thetournamentdirector.net but Im looking for a DVD version.

I got a pretty good one. Local cash game two nights a week. WAYYYY over my bank roll but had to join one night. Its a 5-10 game with a bunch of rich ass resturant owners. No max straddle from any position so it usually plays 5-10-20-50. Standard raise preflop is 100-150 and is easily called 3 or 4 ways. By 2 or 3 in the morning there is 100k on the table. Saw a 56k pot one night. Its insane.
