  1. Somebody educate me....Can I not open up a checking account in Canada, Mexico, The UK, etc....and just wire money from my US bank to the other....and then deposit into poker sites from my non US account? Can you not open a checking account in a country that you dont live in? What about the rich people with Swedish bank accounts? What if I live near the Canadian border...can I go across and open up an account? No law will ever stop US banks from doing busienss with foreign banks.This seems like too easy of an answer....what is wrong with this scenario?

  2. I am an amateur but i feel like you could go either way with this....You are dealt aces in the big blind. 3-6 limit table, everyone calls, do you check or raise? I would think that you would want to get more money in knowing that you have the best hand....but chances are eveyone is going to call.....so why not wait to see the flop and then push....Thanks.

  3. Ok I know its only $3-$6 but I'm just curious if I played this right.I'm at Harrahs in Kansas City playing $3-$6 limit. I am an amatuer and I had just sat down at the table so I had no reads on anybody.I am dealt Q-3 diamonds in middle position. I call and see a flop with 5 players total in the pot, 2 behind me , 2 in front. Flop is Ace, 4, 8, all diamonds. Its checked around to me and I raise $3 figuring I would get a few callers at least. The last few hands everybody was going to the river with garbage. Only 1 caller - small blind. Turn is the 2 of spades. I check since we are up to $6 bets now and I didnt want to scare him away, i was hoping he would raise. He checked. River was a blank. I raised, he called. I won, he mucked. He then started to tell me I had no clue what I was doing...that I should have raised him on the turn. And that I should stick to blackjack. Really who cares....we are talking about a difference of $6. But should I have raised the turn? I didnt want him folding and I had already shown strength by raising the flop. I wanted to let him improve his hand.Any thoughts. Thanks.

  4. Earlier in the week somone posted this dude's site in the middle of a thread.....whoever it was....Thank you. I am laughing my freakin $%^&* off. Is this guy for real? Anyway...whoever made the post, thank you.

  5. Buddy of mine just downloaded PP fromthe .com site not the .net site. He is saying that the play money tables are not showing up.....is he blind? If you download from the .com do they not show you the free tables?I didnt think there was a difference between the .com vs the .net site.

  6. I have the hardest time figuring out what hands my opponents may hold. Anyone know of any books or sites that play the game "what hand do i have?" You know...it gives you a summary of the hand and then asks the question. Tells you the answer and explains the reasoning. Smash did this once in his blog....Thanks for the help.

  7. I'm playing in a game next week where most of the players only know what they know from TV. I play a decent amount, online and B & M. What tells do you all think that amateurs show the most? Thanks for the input.Reacting to the flop.Checking cards multiple times.Raising too fast, too slow......Counting chips - ready to raise out of turn...etc.....

  8. My company has an annual sales meeting in KC every year and this year we are all going to sit down at a 3-6 table at Harrahs. Table will be 8-9 handed. I am an average player....I have read a few books and play 5-6 hours online per week. I deposited $100 into Party 6 months ago and have yet to have to redeposit. My competition will be the following: 1 guy who plays at B & M regularly and plays loose agressive, likes to see every flop. 3-4 others only know what they know from TV, and the rest wont know that a flush beats Ace high. How do i play? I'm really not worried about the one guy who knows what he is doing, i will sit to his left. I'm more concerned about the fish who calls all my rasies to the river with pocket 2's and hits his set or something. Also, they all know that I play so i really want to win.....most of them still think its all luck.Any advice......thanks for the input.
