[ryan wigmore]

For those of you who don't know, the next big thing in poker is Ryan "Bigmore" Wigmore. He goes by the name of Bigmore on all the online sites, and he is a force to be reckoned with. Whether it be stealing blinds at the 2 cent 4 cent level, or eating pieces of copper, Bigmore gives 100% effort at all times. If I were all of you, I would look across the street before crossing next time, cuz Bigmore might be waiting to run you over....... :twisted:

[how would you play this hand]

This is what happened: I raised to 6.5$ total on flop, and he call 4$ more. The turn was a black Ace, and again, he led out for 5.5$, and i was thinking on whether to raise or not. But I figured that no matter what the river bet was, he would lead out for a monster bet, so i don't want to take him off that, and that i will raise big on river unless its a 6 or a 10 or a diamond, which is probably around high 20%. So i call, and the river is unfortunatly a 10 if diamonds. He bets 11$, and i call, and he turns over 7 8 for a pair of 7s. If i had raised him on turn, he probably would have checked the river, even though he is a crazy player, he still sees 3 overcards and the flush, so figured best play was to call on turn, cuz its not absolute in the slightest that he has the flush draw.Also, hes not the type of player that reraises a raise usually, he likes to call a reraise, and then lead out with a big bet on the next street if nothing threatening comes. So i wouldnt be able to get him all in on the flop. Just responding to a post on the thread.

OK this was a home game, and the buy in is 20$ with 6 people, blinds are 25 cents 50 cents. One of my friends is by far the most aggressive/dumb player, and he is sitting to my left. Its about two hours into the game, and I up 40$ right now, and he is probably up around 30$. Keep in mind that most of his wins are the small to medium pots where he just bets people off there hands, and he is lucky not to run into a big hand yet, as every once in a while, he does and loses all his stack. I had two black nines, and raised to 1.5$ preflop UTG (its now 5 handed as someone busted and is just chilling and not playing) and everyone folded and my crazy friend called in BB. Flop is 9 7 2, and the 9 and the 2 are diamonds. What he likes to do is lead out into the preflop raiser and try to bet him off his hand right away. of course, I had top set and wasnt going anywhere. On this hand, he led out with 2.5$ into a 3.25$ pot. Now, his range of hands is literally anything, from bottom pair to top pair, high cards, any kind of draw, or nothing at all. The only hands that should worry me out of those holdings are the flush and straight draws. With all this being said, do you think i should raise here, or wait until the turn, or possibly wait until the river? I'll post what actually happened soon.

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone had access to the Scott Fischman chat on ESPN, and if they did, could post the chat here. Thanks.

[who do you want to see heads up?]

Flack vs Gus Hansen, Out of Negreanu, Flack, Hansen, and Ivey, all with similar styles, it seems like the Golden Child Gus Hansen is far the worst reader, so I want to see what would happen if he faced agaisnt Flack

[betting out with quads]

It is really funny how all of you pathetic degenerate losers who are in their 30s and dont have a life missed the point.....The point of post flop play and not pre flop standards. BascomeB posted helpful advice on how maybe raising with flopped Quads is a profitable idea, since no one would suspect it. This play takes serious balls, since what if the guy folds? Look past your own failures at life, and realize how good of an idea this is. cdddc75 Posted: Tue, Jun 7th, 2005 3:19 Post subject: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Any moron can play power poker after flopping quads. A power play would be to raise this marginal hand preflop instead of limping. For crying out loud, OP's hand wasn't even SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTED. Ok can any moron play power poker after flopping quads?? Earlier today, I raised with AK preflop and the flop came 888. I bet, and the guy called. Now normally, this guy is very aggressive. The turn is a 5, and I bet again, and again a call. The river is a K. So I have the best hand assuming he does not have KK or an 8. However, I check, and he bets 4$ into a 14$ pot. I call, and he shows an 8. Heres an example of someone NOT getting all my chips even after I flopped the top pair.Furthermore, BascomeB posted how he is usually aggressive. Well, when he raises that guy on the flop after flopping quads, it just plays along with his natural style, which makes it look perfectly normal and not suspicious. Thats why this was a great play, and all you limit idiots can't see that. Very Sad indeed.

[why didn't daniel choose full tilt poker.com?]

well it could have been James Kennedy, who is known by the initials of JJ in the poker circles. Kennedy is known to dominate the 1000-2000 Limit game at the Bellagio, and has reportedly busted Ted Forrest several times over the past couple months.

Good luck Daniel....that would be incredible to see you at the final table when the TV coverage rolls around in the summer....that would be 3 times this year!!! Also, if you do get knocked out, dont worry about it, there's a big limit game that you can sit down at and dominate.

[congratulations erick lingdren]

He is definitely a top notch player.......some people criticize him in his WPT win, claiming that he just got lucky cards.......well everyone gets cards at some point, but he maximized his winnings while getting these cards.A A
