AC BillP

Actually Cardplayer DOE NOT list the good rooms. From east to west, the oldest and best in Montana is the Crystal Cardroom in Billings (it's where Annie Duke started--and she left a lot of money there!!). Theres one in Bozesman but forget name, In Butte there's the Lucky Lils room near the interestate but it's mostly Omaha 8, on thursday nights there was a great game in Deerlodge in a bar, and in Missula there are at least 3 rooms. There the names change- but look in the phone book. Plenty of College players in Missula--mostly Holdem.Durning the summer slow months--players have included L

I believe you that it's not you or your friends. It's pretty likely there is someone else in that house who is able to pickup passwords once the computer is used. Are there any computer savy teenagers in the house? Or their girlfriends? I've even heard of bored baby sitters thinking they'll be lucky but losing!

If you use Neteller you are A FISH!!! It took me a day to get the password from Firepay but it was like 5 minutes before I was playing on the Pokerstars $600/$120 bunus. Why would you ever play 8.9% or over $50 to get a $120 bonus, when FIREPAY is between $3.99 and $5.99 depending on you bank service details. I will never use Neteller again!!! :!:

I was playing 4 tables on Party yesterday and folded 4 Aces. Somehow the screen didn't flip from the other game. It happens more than you'd think. :evil:

I have a bunch of old jokes written in my pocket. I try to make them laugh and make a point of showing them any bad hand I play that they played-- Fish play to have fun, at casinos at least--and they just want to lose less than they would at craps. :!:

A certain doctor who plays at Borgata--he takes any old pair to the river, always pays off, and looks away from the pot when he makes trips. The nicest gentleman I've ever meet, and his congenial play has paid for a new car for me!! Easily my favorite player--

Hassan is basically a "feel" player who weighs the opponents hands based on tells and patterns, not math. Paul Phillips is a math based player and technically he is correct. The flaw in the Philips statistical value analysis is not the it's wrong, it's that the arguement doesn't take into account any number of plays Hassan made against the player he staked. Many wre negative EV plays math-wise that were to the advantage of the third guy. Phillips doen't include those hands in coming to his conclusion.

I'm not giving him any repect for getting lucky and bad beating Ivey with a 7-outer to make QQQ full of AA . But the guy as done as much as anybody to bring lots of new little fishies to poker and fill my pokects with cash. For his poker I could care less-- but for the guy's representation and promotion-- I worship the guy and the money he brought me!!

I was way ahead in a $50 S&G NLhm and I never got reconnected--I hope the scum buckets fix this quickly because that's real money they're taking. I'm going to cash most money and wait for the next bonus-maybe they'll get it right by then. :evil:

Anselm is partly correct but I'd just modify his play-money advice slightly. You should learn to play some hi-lo games like stud and Omaha 8 or better, and it's very hard for beginners to learn to read the board without some practice. Eventually you'll have to play these games in dealer choice live set ups like at college-- so might as well get a head start for free.

I am sure the proposal is sincere however I'm astonished at Daniel's and his proported assistant allowing the promotion of a commercial enterprise on his site that is generally illegal in many states. I am very disappointed at Daniel's lack of oversite, especially given the absurd censoring that goes on for zero reason (bonuswh$%res.com is censored for example-- a site with actual legit poker bonus info.)--WAKE UP DANIEL!!

Your parents basically are giving you a College Education that's worth the same $7.5 M as WSOP 1st, just spread out over your lifetime. Once away at college, play all you want. You're not going to tell you Mom about every chick you got drunk with and f#$ked all night either are you?? Play all you want at college and be quite about it!

OK CaseAce--I'm finally sort of convinced you are serious but just misguided. Every backing idea on the planet I know has failed with just a few exceptions. It works on a tournament series of buyins for a top player that's broke (say TJ lost all his money at craps and the wife cut him off). It will work where a whale wants to play $10,000-$$20,000 big ante and you pool money either heads up, or for all the other players but him. Finally it occasionally works as a written limited liability corporation between 2 people over a month to years time, if the backer holds to money every day. The co

Every other tournament takes out 3% to 5% up front to cover overhead and staff. These greedy Harrahs guys took out 6% total-- a true world's record.I wouldn't leave a damn penny. However I would get a list of all final 2 day dealers and mail Them a GOOD tip, if they want to pay taxes, it's their call----

I used to drop down to $2-$4 limit after a losing $15-$30 limit weekend. Basically my strategy was to buy in and play very loose aggressive. MY ADVICE is that you are playing way too tight and expecting to win way too often. I think I hold the record for biggest $2-$4 loss ($365) and biggest win ($675) in the same week. Seriously the key is to read these goof balls and get extra bets in with draws to the nuts/overs, the best hand, and never pay off when you know darn well you're beat. I wouldn't be could dead playing a KJo against skilled players--at low limit, raise that sucker--they'll p

Rather than just give stuff away, I'd suggest you video all the matches and sell them as packages with a prearranged schedule of 50% to each player. Some opponents might not agree to it, but I'd pay quite a bit to see every hand that some of the best players in the world play heads-up. The key is seeing all the hands, not what a bunch of morons at ESPN happen to think are exciting.And a video package could be marketed well after other commercial opportunity are used. Especially for $100,000 players, the proceeds could turn the match into an EV+ for many players. Lets see at $12 a video tim

What I'm hearing about Mike's bad play is he should either fold the second best hand in Hm or call and then go broke when he flops a set---the best hand out of 200+ played except a straight and a flush at final table.Even though I've done it (folded KK preflop)-basically what you're saying is Mike should fold his hands without looking for the first 100+ hands. That gets him into 5th or 6th place with a medium stack of 5 million or so.Trying this to pick up another $750,000 to 1 million does make sense, but in terms of winning the tournament folding KK preflop makes zero sense. Poker play vs.

He is the best right now, wrote this in some past threads and very few people disagree...he motivates me to play my best.. and you read the 90hr thing in his cardplayer feature, I play that much also, but online, it's awesome b/c it is a job and a hobby (although turns into a job more and more)PHIL in 2006, Pipes in 2010Pipes could 2007--Call the Taj every weekend and page Ivey or wait till a tournament. Then when he shows, take a train at Trenton (if P'town, NJ) to AC and you can watch him play cash games at all hours of the morning! At worst you'll win some money in other ring games!!

All I can say is yes he's not required to talk etc., but if the action passes him and a 2nd player makes some action, including folding, his obligation is to motion to the dealer. The rule in live Atlantic City Casino's is the hand is over if there is action in 2 places unless the player motions or speaks up. Just always ask the dealer "Is that it?" or "do I show now?" then the guy can't do anything. And if he puts his hand over up cards and moves them togther so as to hide them IN STUD--the written Casino rule in AC is he has folded.

Once there's been action in 2 positions, he has no play. Call the floor. If ruled against, tell them the guys history, etc away from the table. Obviously ask the dealer if it's your turn, and if the play is over (in stud) in the future, it's over. That's a fairly common angle play. Once the dealer says all over--it's all over. And no the casino NEVER pays for the dealers' mistakes.In the future hold your cards physically until the dealer pushs you the pot too. Next trip he'll hide his cards until you muck you cards, and then claim the pot!!! :shock:

I was knocked out of a tournament in AC with JJ vs KQ, and asked Phil about the hand. His advise was to see the flop with jacks and not go all in like I did. The guy is usually pretty straight forward with my questions, so I'd guess that's his general play too. There must have been something else going on in addition to Kantor reraising with cr#p a lot of the time. It would be interesting if he had a blog like Smash suggested--I'd sure follow it.

It's usually on the first, watch bonuswhores.com to see.--

Workyou--Thanks for the one intelligent answer in this tread--Ivey had Kantor read as a donkey and Kantor's moronic plays at the final table shows Ivey was correct.

Since I guess you don't know much, my general advise to beginners in Rebuy Tourneys is to bet most of your money preflop any time you have 21 (like blackjack). Eventually if you get 3 times the original chip count, then only play AA KK AK and fold everything else untill 2/3 of the players are out. By then you understand enough to play regular hands from watching. :shock:

he won his way in online. you clearly do not understand any of this. go and reread this whole topicThat's true BUT-- He was busted by all the legal bills. People usually back ALL your play for a given period with paybacks. The reason is if a guy is getting backed, the backer wants a piece of the ALL the wins and losses--you can't just pick and chose. So if the deal was for all live play, Mike only gets his percent but of course the backer has to pay him for any online wins if they're separate in the agreement (ie. $10,000 buyin is payed to Mike)
