4110. I have played with a lot of bad players before but these are the absolute worst ever. Lost a 6k pot with aces vs jacks all in b4 flop. I feel like I am playing a $1 tournament.

I'm in.

At 2643. First couple levels aren't very important.

You should be able to type almost anything you want because everyone has the option of blocking it. If you start typing information about your hand or other peoples hands then that maybe should be addressed. If reading something in a chat box really hurts your feelings then you need to grow up even more then the people typing negative things. IMO

PokerStars sucks anyway. I had my chat taken away and I sent them an email telling them that I make their site a lot of money and I would never play there again unless they immedietly reinstate it. They didn't so I don't play there anymore. There is a reason why there an option to click ignore.

Then everyone is just going to complain about being "turned". I do definitely think there could be new and better poker games though.

I make these small bets too once in awhile. There are a couple different purposes. Sometimes it slows the other player down from making a big continuation bet. Sometimes the other player will actually fold believe it or not. If someone makes a big raise when I do it then the next time I have a big hand against them I will make the same bet and induce a bluff. Then it is fun to just call and make the minimum bet again against them and they will sometimes raise again because they just are irritated. It is a good way to mix up your play. These are the reasons why I do it. Probably not the reasons

I guess I didn't realize the space between E and Tyme counts as less than an a. I just went out in 43x with KK vs AQ.

So has it ever been established before the E Tyme is Dan Harrington? I don't see E Tyme listed as an entrant in FTOPS event 3. Maybe he lost that satellite and now can't afford to buy in.

He said in the radio interview that he knew Phil had aces but since he didn't have many chips left, while Shak did, he still would win a lot of chips in the hand. Sure it looked like they both had huge hands but how could anyone sitting with kings put two other players on pocket aces?

HATED (not in order)1. Vanessa Rousso (Thinks she is smart but hasn't done a lot and probably never will)2. Antonio Esfandiari (IDK maybe its just his playing style)3. Scott Fischman (The way he celebrated when he got lucky on Awada)4. Tony G (just an ahole, barely says anything on PAD though)5. Devilfish (seems to genuinely blame the dealer when bad cards come, bottom 2 pair with a straight draw doesn't usually rate to be good vs a bet and a raise in Omaha)6. Brad Booth (haven't seen a lot of him but just seems to have a bad arrogance about him, could be wrong though)LIKED1. Phil Hellmuth (Ki

That is exactly what I was going to say. Something just seems weird about this.

It doesn't seem like a big deal to me. Did it really give information to your opponents that would give you a disadvantage. It sounds like half the table were your friends anyway.

Yeah im disconnected again too. FT is going to have a lot of complaints if what happened to to the guy I was playing happened to other people.

Was disconnected then got back on before the other person in my $55 heads up sit and go. Unfortunate for him but you can't feel sorry for anyone in online poker.

I actually play HU sit and gos almost exclusively and have won a considerable amount of money. I started out playing for really low and now I usually play for at least $50 per game. I'm not trying to brag but just say that you can win a lot at them if you get good at it. Targeting bad players is the secret. The other day I played some guy from Australia for 10 straight games and he simply never folded. He said he didn't care about money because he is some rich real estate investor. If you can find people like this you can make a lot real quick. One bad habit with these though is to get overly

I would be hesitant to play the $1+.25 or even $2+.25 sit and goes simply because of the higher rake percentage. The few cents extra doesn't seem like a big deal but over the long run it really adds up. Swings will be tougher on your bankroll but your better off playing for at least $5+.50.

This site seems to think the same. http://thepokerbiz.com/I think it was mentioned in another post but the Silvia Browne, Montel Williams story just down the page is interesting too.

If you are suppose to be testing all around poker ability then you should definitely have some no limit and/or pot limit games mixed in. It would be nice to see some no limit hold em and pot limit omaha since those are probably the most popular games. Just because H.O.R.S.E spells out a word doesn't mean that those are the only games you should play. Three out of the five games are stud.

LOL, that is pretty funny. I didn't really notice that at first. I seen that it was an UB suit but I didn't notice the PH logo and his name on his pant leg.

A brand new article on Gambling911. This one is even worse then the previous one. It doesn't seem right if they are trying to joke around about this. http://www.gambling911.com/

Did anyone read the Gambling911 article? They acted like it was really serious. Maybe it was a little but when I first started reading the article I thought he might be dead. http://www.gambling911.com/Phil-Hellmuth-C...ent-070907.html

Same as AceJack. As soon as Neteller left I requested a check by mail and I recieved it within a week. They didn't ask me to fax anything even though it says that you have to do that. My bank does put a hold on my account for a couple days though when I cash them.

I though of this exact same idea as soon as I started playing online poker. I no later realized that it would never work. Theres no way of enforcing what people can do or say in the webcams. There are a lot of fights now just using chat boxes, imagine the fights there would be if you could actually see the person. Great idea in theory but will probably never work.

Ok, Thanks for the quick responses Eric. I appreciate it.
