I would spend the day/night with Jeri Ryan and Halley Berry they would help my little genie pop up.

In my opinion the reason people see more bad beats online is due "action flops"... nearly every hand is a action flop compared to live where you only see a action flop 1 or 2 in 10. Don't worry everyone has been the victim of action flops even if they don't want to admit it.

Everyone here is missing the point I am trying to convey especially "Acturay" here it is in laymen terms....If you never had $2 million dollars how do you place a value on $4 million dollars? To say you understand the difference is total hogwash... any person who has never had or does not have $2 million dollars will never understand what it is to have $2 million dollars or lose $2 million dollars. All you're doing is deceiving yourself.I agree with everyone the fold when it was made was questionable based on me/us Monday morning quarterbacking. I also agree once the Qs hit the fold was horri

Most people on this forum do not have a financial understanding of how much $2 million dollars really is, or the difference between $2 million and $4 million. Until you're in the actual situation all we can do is whine about what should have been done.

But anyway, what does that have to do with your bad idea that we need to be >50% to win here ? I never posted that... better get yourself back in the real world boy.Well Said Fluffydog83

Acturay,The excerpt is from the actual book you moron "you're a shallow person". If someone wants to read the book its there no reason to get yer feelings all hurt.... LMAOAU

Many people do not understand the basic concepts of probability, as evidenced by the proliferation of those participating in lotteries, horse racing, and gambling at casinos. But probability and statistics are becoming increasingly important in today’s society. As the basic ideas are being taught in elementary schools through college, it’s important that everyone has a basic understanding of probability theory. Probability theory explains the happenings that occur due to chance. Although it is not possible to predict for certain the individual outcome of a chance process, it is possible to det

After getting the 3rd place prize, I'd do whatever maximizes the chance to get a bracelet. Who cares about 2MM more when you have 4MM. Even after taxes you never have to work again. At least if you live in the MidWest/SouthEast. I mean, yeah it's 2MM more; but after I hit the FT, it's time to play for the bracelet. Perhaps I'm poorer that some and the first 4MM for 3rd is enough to get by ( I think it was ~4MM?) I agree with your statement... For the $2 million difference between 2nd and 3rd I have to go for the money first, the victory second. $2 million is a lot of money that may only come

[b]Who cares where we finished[/b]. Do you watch football and say that the QB made a bad call. Yes we all do it so quiet down with that response we are trying to understand the guys thought process which we can't seem to understand given that in a $10 tourney we call everytime.On that note I call everytime cause I play to win and if he really thought that he was playing to win then he shoulda called. Period. Honestly I have yet to read a thread that is not criticizing the play... yes everyone does Monday morning QB but playing QB weekly/yearly in the NFL is entirely different than playing in

Jamie Gold, Joe Hatchmen, Greg Raymer, Chris Moneymaker does not have to be the best player to win, each proved that. Something we can all agree on... they were the best player on the planet the day they won.

I will not criticize Wasica play "its his choice" the best way to sum it up... Wasica played the hand the way he wanted to play it regardless if he was playing to win or playing for the money it was his decision. Gold was very lucky catching most of everything, we have all played against a player who has done the same thing to us "it makes you start second guessing yourself" just like what happen to every player at the final table each began second guessing their first decision.Another way to look at it... Wasica finished second in the 2006 WSOP main event where did you finish the the event?

Only he really knows.... but it is easy to criticize when your not sitting there under the pressure.

I don't find the play offensive... but it would have been a lot more funnier if the other player would have had trips...

Online "poker, sports betting and or online gambling" in its current form should be and needs to be banned/out lawed.

I would call...After the flop this gives you the opportunity to go "all-in". You may still get called and you still may lose but the out come is still the same as if you would have went all-in pre-flop.This method presents you with a chance opportunity to fold the weaker players or if they missed with the all-in after the flop.

Up to this point "what type of table image have you presented"?My personally opinion is unless you have presented a very aggressive style you're going to get called by at least 3/4 players maybe all players. If you're tight "I" would anything but a all-in however I suspect you may get 2 to 3 callers.

I wear a pork-chop around my neck...

A good friend and playing associate were discussing the effects online play has on your live game; I would like to hear your thoughts. "If you do not play live please do not answer".Do you believe online play helps or hurts your live game?Do you believe online bad beats hurts or helps your live game decisions?

I went from chip leader to 3rd in chips within three hands (none played). IF I call and lose I take 3rd "I believe I am the better player on the table". I played for money position versus just throwing my chips in and pray I win.When I folded AA the top 30 seats got a WSOP seat 32 players remaining, I was 5th in chip count, three players were short stacked these players ended up matching up all in before my turn. There may be a two way tie or one player eliminates the other two. Why should I get involved? I could win, I could lose but why at this point should I put my chips at risk? EGO? How m

ACTUARY: I'm not sure you understand any type of strategy within the game of poker (nor can you comprehend what you read - sorry to be rude read the post again)... or stop responding to the thread.

Last night while playing a 120 $225 live tournament there were five left at this point I am the chip leader. Within 3 hands (played none) I was third in chips with three remaining players. UTG I get QQ blinds are 4k/8k I raise to 20k, SB goes all in, BB calls the all in.I look at the BB my instinct is telling she is calling for pot odds with maybe one face card. SB my instinct says he has two face cards maybe AK, I think for a while then fold. SB asks why did you fold, BB says I surprised you folded...why?My response: I say to the BB I think you called for pure pot odds with one face card, I b

It is difficult to express an opinion "the world is wrong they are right"! Gee Royal you got one possibility right... Bet you take the short bus to your Area 51 vacation home, a high percentage of the people here would not have even got one right they only want to say your wrong and they're right!Remember the category of this thread "tournament" cash games are different! I never said I would just fold AA or KK you have to understand every possibility outcome when playing in a tournament. A high percentage of people have tunnel vision they can not think beyond what is in front of their face.I r

Don't worry about how I play Actuary worry more about how you play... you appear to be just another player who tosses in their chips just because without thinking through all the possible scenarios. There are times in every tournament when you should not get involved with AA or KK, try to think of those possibilities you will answer you're own questions, it may help you become a better player and maybe enlighten yourself or you can continue to entertain yourself. B)

Before I commit all my chips I would have monitoring how fast player are going out, chips counts of all the players in the tournament. With 5600 left you have 4 more orbits that may present itself with a better opportunity "gamboooool".Personally I do not like risking all my chips on a draw... sure they pay off when they hit, when you have to leave everyone is calling you a donkey.
