  1. If i remember rightly, some of you may know him as the guy who zips his jacket over his face during a stare down after he has raised Howard Lederer....Seems like a good guy, i wish him all the best. I'd love to see Raymer win the event again - he has already gained my respect as a great player. Ivey, Matasow and Phan would also be great to see on the final table.
  2. Yeah, i thought that for a second - but i believe that was Shawn Rice...Do you mean the guy who was beat by James Vogel?
  3. William Hill 10k GTD:3rd place - £800 ($1600)4th place - £650 ($1350)
  4. Dont suppose there is one for william hill?
  5. BB looks like a complete fish aswell.
  6. Just a guess, as i havent seen the hands in question.My guess is that he's complaining at these people for calling his all-in with these low pocket pairs, not the other way round. In this situation the people are choosing a coinflip whereas Mikes play should usually seem them out the pot.
  7. Hello, i am planning on making a deposit on some poker software - after playing on William Hill for a year and i was wondering what you people think.I am mostly interested in multi tables and like slow blind structures and got GTD's. Thanks.
  8. Try watching some more tournaments then....He is a good player - and he is in no way "a lot of talk". He constantly speaks modestly of his poker playing abilities, which ill happily assume are alot better than yours.
  9. I've also tried multiple players, and get the same problem
  10. Thanks for the advice, but its with all movies and i've already downloaded all the neceserry codecs.
  11. Hello!I recently installed a new graphics card on my computer. Everything works fine, including games, music and so on, but whenever i try to play a video file the video does not show and my computer slows down to a crawl until i ctrl+alt+del and end the task of the the media player.I have installed all the latest drivers off the website, and even tried formatting and reinstalling everything - but to no avail. It'd be great if someone here has a solution.Thanks, Simon.
  12. How would i go about placing a bet on this?
  13. You also missed two important points - they were the chip leaders, and Gus had only put $100,000 out of his total of $400,000 into the pot.Basically i think it was a mix of 2 things, Gus Hanson being macho - and wanting to higher his chances of taking down the tournament. For one i dont think Gus liked Antonio attempting to bully him out of the pot, but i also think that he read Antonio for a hand not as strong as a high pocket pair - and seeing as he had already put 1/4 of his stack in he decided to take a 50/50 or a 60/40 to have $1,000,000 in chips instead of $300,000, eliminate a dangerou
  14. I actually found it to be a pretty interesting read - much more interesting than your dumb posts.
  15. That's not a very good example - if you got all his money in on the end anyway - im sure you could have done it if you'd checked down to the river and raised/bet into him there.Im not saying it is correct to check down to the river (apart from some situations) - just saying that in this situation it didnt pay to bet before the river.
  16. William Hill has 4 free rolls a weekend, morning one wins you £50 for first place, night time one has $50 for first place - 1000 players.This is GMT.
  17. Anyone got a torrent link? It doesnt air over here i dont think...
  18. Sklansky, D., Shayberg, L., and McCrindle, R. (1998). Probability Top Pair is Best in Texas Holdem Poker, with no Assumptions. Journal of Impossible Statistics , pp 319-327.Also available in a different article is the probability that if you are driving a car, you get arrested for drunk driving.Nice. You know that's perfect APA citation, except that you forgot the volume no. of the journal. And if that was an oblique form of mocking me for my contribution to the iq discussion, nice job 8) I'm such a damn nerd.No, you are a psuedo intellectual.
  19. Right, my game is pretty good. Im improving - mainly at NL HE. But i have a serious problem. Ive recently started playing at a local club, and reached the final table in a large tournament - 300 players and a £100 buy-in. I find myself facing an all-in call, and i slide up my first card to find a J:heart:, slide up my second one to find a J The next thing i know a small voice whispers "jaaacckks" in my ear, then again - and again. It was right in my head, itching my brain, tearing me apart inside. I threw the hand into the muck and had to sit out for the rest of the tournament. Since then whe
  20. How exactly do you go about chopping online? Is there some special option on certain software?
  21. Yeah, never open-limp with 88 like that - you were asking for it.I was at this game - and would just like to add that it was made 15x more funny by wrigh exclaiming out loud that the card which filled his boat and gave the other player quads was "what a cash card!".Haha, was a great pot. Also, the 3rd (not ) came out on the end.The quads were played beutifully :-) .Better luck next time Ad.
  22. What kind of button would they push to eliminate me ? If i was playing online - believe me i wouldnt have folded that AK in a million years.
  23. Try reading a little harder and i believe i phrased it more like "it turned out to be a no risk play", as in - id rather be using my chips to come over the top of people and force them to fold once or twice (which is easy once they saw me lay down AK), these were big pots due to the blinds.After id won these pots, i had enough in my stack to not put myself in jeopardy if a few blinds pass me and could sail into heads up whilst blind stealing.I agree that everybody is going to disagree on this - that's why i posted it :-) , but there is no need to come off as being so harsh.
  24. And "pokerguy30", as much as you may not like to accept it, Smash does give good advice, and is one of the few posters on here i actually feel i can learn from. Give me all the "ass kissing" abuse you can, but it is fact.
  25. Yes it is. Read TOP and then see if you agree with your statement. One move is always right, it is the move that will maximize your profit. Any other play is incorrect "technically," but I understand what you are trying to say (people play different hands different ways in different situations).I actually think that in NL no play is objectivley "right" because of different playing styles. Such as some players will raise with 78s because they are good at outplaying people on missed flops - or if they hit they can win big, other tight players will not play this starting hand.Neither will maximi
