Who's playing? Already 4365 in. Could be largest Full Tilt tournament in history.

I always do it in a tournament. It gets me upset that people will criticize you for it. The very first day I played for real money on Party Poker in a $5 sit and go a royal flush came on the board and I bet two other people out. You also cannot fully trust those hand updates.

Only 2500.

The person to the left of me hasn't even shown up so thats bonus. I get two buttons each round which is nice.

It looks like Jamie does go broke when he puts all his money in and Antonius quickly calls. However in a previous episode he does mention that he was only going to play half a day because of some prior business engagement so that is not sor sure.

A lot of people seem to be saying that Benyamine is in debt. Not sure if it is true or how anyone would really know.

That definitely sounds too good to be true. There would have to be some kind of cap if it was. Maybe it's just half off the entry fee.

I ordered the live WSOP broadcasts from Bluff and when I signed up I thought it said something about a subscription to Bluff Magazine being included. I am not sure about this at all and I looked back on their site and couldn't find anything about it. I don't really care that much about it but just wondering if anyone here knows.

I just watched the first episode on pokertube. They didn't really seem to explain the money situation very well. Did Doyle's team win 1 million that the other six golfers have to pay? Thats what it seemed like would make since but the announcers were saying that they won 2 million.

I'm in. Just bubbled in the $750k.

Wow, that is really bad. So what was the outcome of the hand? Did the "check" stand?

I would say you are right about making it difficult to compute pot sizes. Also maybe because you would be able to raise a much larger amount before the flop. It would make the pots much bigger to start with and more like no limit.

Ok, Thanks.

I didn't say it was a huge sample or absolute proof. It is the kind of sample where you shouldn't need a million hands though. It's not like calculating how many times aces are dealt against kings or something that occurs rarely. If you flip a coin 1000 times it should randomize out fairely well. Why would they rig it it? I am not here to start another is online poker rigged debate but wouldn't it be in the sites interest for the bad players to maintain money in their account for longer? I was just giving my opinion of the site though.

Exactly. Just go all in every hand and collect the dead money for the an edge when you aren't called.

If their is one site that is rigged it is Bodog. It is the only site that I have not been a consistent winner at. I actually did a survey where I recorded every hand that was all in before the flop (1000 hands) and the worst hand won 49% of the time. If you can consistently make a significant profit there then I admire you.If you are looking for a new site I would try WPEX. They give 100% of your rake back every week. The software is very basic and there isn't a lot of traffic but it is a good site to play on.

I don't necessarily agree with everything in the article. It may be true that not letting wins and losses affect you will make you a happier person. However I don't feel that it will make everyone a better player. To be a great poker player I think that you need a high level of competiveness. I know that I go into every poker game or tournament expecting to win. Of course thats impossible but I think thats the way you have to feel. A perfect example of this Phil Hellmuth. He takes about the most opposite approach possible to the article and is widely considered the best tournament player in

On the Doyle's Room website it says that it is powered by the DBPN (Doyle Brunson Poker Network). Is that the same thing and they just call it something different?

Breaking news is that Doyle's room will once again accept US player. http://www.gambling911.com/ I never played there but just maybe it could be a sign of things to come for other sites.

What I wonder is how they are allowed to have their screen names changed and or multiple accounts.

He always acts bored and like he would rather be somewhere else. I am glad Norman Chad let him have it tonight on the HORSE broadcast.

LOL, thats was really funny. I actually have been a big fan of that show since it started. They do have a slight resemblence.

Working for me.

So has this week been good? I am just wondering if is worth the time to start watching. I usually stay up to watch but haven't this week.
