My thoughts and prayers are with your mom, you and your family Daniel.Take care.

When was the last time you read a statement from a PR firm or agent that wasn't a load of crap?
-
IF, and this a big IF, that was from Scotty, it was through a PR firm hired by his agent or management team.

Does everyone really think that this was a chip dump by Scotty? In Omaha 8Scotty: Ah Ac 9d 3dLindgren: Qs Qc 8d 4dBoard: 3h 7c Jh JdAt this point, Scotty cannot make a low hand. And his Hi hand is Aces Up and can only improve to a full house with an Ace or J on the river (if his opponent doesn't aready have a J). Also, Scotty has no back up draws either.Meanwhile, his opponent still may have the low draw (which he does) and/or a J for the potential scoop. His opponent can also have a heart draw for a scoop as well. There are also a couple of other draws available (4-5 and 8-9) that can beat hi

Here is the other angle that I don't think anyone has addressed. (On this thread anyway) Where are the Tournament Director's or Floor people when all this is happening? These are direct quotes from the official WSOP rules under player conduct: "Additionally, Harrah’s may in its sole and absolute discretion impose penalties of any kind or nature upon any person who, in Harrah’s view engages in inappropriate conduct during tournament play.""Any player who directs any profane and/or abusive language at another player, dealer or tournament staff member or who makes any profane and/or abusive comme

I met Scotty only in passing at the 2007 WSOP as I was exiting my tournament and making that long walk through the Rio Convention hallway, I saw him walking toward me on his way in. I yelled, "Wassup Scotty?!" and he replied "What's up baby?" A cool moment, I felt.Then tonight while watching the 2008 HORSE tonight, I too find myself rooting against Scotty even though knew full well he would win. It truly was a bad display and bad form on the table. We've all watched Scotty play on TV and I can't remember a time when I saw Scotty act like this.Could it be that all the emotions from flaming out

Event #55 World Championship No-limit Texas Hold'em $10,000
thecove replied to FCP Matt's topic in General Poker Forum
This is from Bluff:34 minutes ago"Kid Poker" Takes Down a Big OneDaniel Negreanu limped in from early position. Action folded around to the big blind who checked his option. The two took a flop heads up 4h 3s Js The big blind bet 3,000 and Negreanu promptly called. The turn brought the 9c. The big blind bet 10,000 and again, Negreanu looked him up. The river came the 6c. Without hesitation, the big blind pushed out 20,000 chips. Daniel took his time, at one point saying "Why does that scare me so much? (as he pointed to the 4h ) Eventually Negreanu made the call. The big blind turned over Jd 9 -
Daniel N. Is The W S O P 2008 Moving To Ceasar's Palace
thecove replied to Bgfoot's topic in General Poker Forum
Take this for what it is worth. I played in event #34 this year and unfortunately busted out on Day 2. On my way out I bought some merchandise from one of the vendors in the hallway and he informed us that the WSOP was going to move to Caeser's next year. He was a RIO employee.I didn't grill him on it becuase I heard the same rumor last year when I played. -
LOL Nah this is not joke. This is what really happened. I'm just second guessing myself. I had less then 5 BBs left so getting 4-1 (5-1) on my money at that point was a no brainer. I knew UTG didn't have a monster otherwise he would have opened the betting.Of course I knew I was getting my money in good, it's just that when I commited my last 3K I felt the poker reaper standing behind my me.....
-
I thought about that for a second. But I'm already getting 4-1 on my money and with UTG yet to call, I'd then be getting 5-1 with less the 5 BB left. If I don't hit the flop I can get away from the hand cheap and check fold.With no Antes in a Limit Tourney, I would then have to pay the small blind next hand and have another 8 hands to catch a better starting hand and potentially push in late position
-
Thanks. I realized that something like that would not be right. I could have said something along those lines, like "you're drawing thin and you know you are drawing thin. You should fold here and save your chips. Even if they declare my hand dead it would have been the same result anyway LOL. I try not to engage in much table talk. 1. Because I am not an expert at it (mostly because I don't try it) 2. I think it can give away too much information.I think it would have been just rail time but not a dead hand. Not sure.

I've been playing Bay 101's Sunday Limit Tournament to tune up for the $3K Limit Tournament at the WSOP on June 20th. I've cashed once (5 way chop) already and was on my way to another cash when the following hand occurred:I had 13K in chips. Blinds 1000-2000 Limits 2000/4000 25 players left. Tourney pays out 10 spots (I won a huge pot a level earlier when I was priced in from the small blind with 7d5d, turned a straight and rivered a flush with 3 players betting each street.)I just got moved to this table about 4 hands earlier.

I think you are missing the whole point. It was a parody. It's humor. Nothing more.

Now that was funny!

I don't think there is any argument that Phil H is one of the greatest Hold Em tournament players of all time. As much as I suffocate everytime he self inflates his ego, I do respect his game.Oh and Daniel, you have to give Antonio Esfandiari a little grief the next time you see him for contributing to PH's ego on his recent commercial campaign. LOL

I've seen the same kind of action in a 3-6 game with AQ/AJ/A10/10'sI wouldn't fault a fold here but I also wouldn't be upset with c/c down to the river if you don't face a check raise from the BB.That's a lot of money in the pot to give up on if you can get to the river cheaply.You still have two outs plus a backdoor straight draw.No doubt about it, it's a loose call for sure.
-
hmmm maybe Donkey Destroyer is actually Phil in disguise.....
-
My favorite line from Phil's blog is, "Is my ego that out of whack?"ummm. No comment....Anyway, great parody Daniel.
-
I'd c/c here. If he is loose/agg like you said he may have an A with 9c or Aces up.Against a player like this my cutoff would be 5th highest flush.

C/CLet him turnover his middle/lo pocket pair and then scoop the pot with your pair of Js

I agree with Zach about 3-betting preflop. Raising from the BB is usually a sign of a big hand. And if he is playing solid like you said he would have to respect that.I love the C/R on the flop, the solid villain expects AA/KK/QQ to lead out on that flop. The C/R makes it look like that flop hit you hard.The call by the villain on the turn is interesting, He is obvioulsy not concerned if you simply paired up the Q or the J on the flop. But your check raise slowed him down on the flop. He may have AA. KK, QQ. You probably could have got this info by making it 3 bets preflop. If he comes over th

What type of tournament are you planning on playing in? LHE, NLHE, mixed game?I played a $1500 LHE last year (my first WSOP) and I was a little worked up. But once I sat down and the cards were in the air I felt right at home. My table was on one of the rails and while there was no pros on the table, people still stopped to watch us play so that was a little different. But other than that, it was like playing in a regular casino tourney.$1500 was not a lot of chips to start with and one big hand pretty much wipes you out. Which is what happened to me when in two succesive hands I had QQ vs. KK

Oop With Overpair Against Scary(not Really?) River
thecove replied to Moneyball16's topic in Other Poker Cash Games
Wow! What in the world is so good about MP1's hand where he is only flat callling all that action preflop and on the flop? He has either got a monster and is playing it cool or is a super duper calling station. No way I put him on a 7, not even pocket 7's. The only pocket pairs where anyone can keep calling preflop and on the flop would be 9's (IMO submarginal with all that action preflop) or 10's for the nuts. But wouldn't he bet that on the turn? Seems he would be losing a bet on the turn by not raising.Tough situation to find yourself in, especially being new to the table.Your bet is stand -
Make Flush On River, Call To Induce Overcall?
thecove replied to kkcountry's topic in Other Poker Cash Games
Gotta raise here, the only diamonds that are beating you is a K or J.Then call if you get reraised.If you get beat, "Nice Hand" Hmmmm I still wonder what the SB has, maybe Kd-Jd? He should have raised pre flop. But that hand could be a real possibility for him to call with OOP. Also that is a great flop for him to check raise the flop then bet the turn and river -
How did this guy react to the flop? How did he react to your bet? Did he reach for his chips instantly?
