It could be because of the satanic apparition of lust that BigD is marrying.I still think that the best was the Canadian Viagra.

Pardon me guys, I was just reading my comment that got me bashed and realized what I had said about the 10/20 nl game. I meant I have no problem getting into a 10/20 LIMIT game. Major difference. Big diffence from sitting down with $500 and sitting down with a few thousand.Sorry!

Sorry nutz, my poor attempt at a "poker pun".

Thanks for overlooking my idiotic reaction.I wish I hadn't been so worked up over the bashers. Getting there though. Most of the guys I thought were pure jerks are turning out to be great teachers.

Broke the streak this week on tournaments. I only played once and went out after the second break.No more, once a week final tables. I have been to over 20 final tables and I'm way up. Cash and online are a totally different story. It's like starting all over again.Played a couple of cash games and found no success but thanks to guys on the strategy forum, I might do better with the transition. I'm getting more out of the strat forum than I ever have with PVT cash advice. It's great to have players that play it all the time give hand evaluations on my mistakes. Kinda like free coaching!I

I'm definately a lunker online and at 1/3 nl. It's just that I can't get over the dramatic difference in my transition from tournaments to cash. I was a pretty decent, not great, live 1/2nl player before but those days are gone.Hopefully with the advice of posters like you and D, I might get back on track.

Dude, you're right. I keep forgetting that we are mainly talking online poker here. I don't play online poker so my advice was way out of line. I am a micro-micro-micro player when I do play, which is about twice a year. Forgive me pro. You were just getting some flak from the crap I've been getting from a few shitheads and I thought you were just joining in. Sorry dude.Let me start over. If you are not able to play online, start at the lowest table limit there is, which is 1/3 nl and 2/4 limit at my casino. I really don't like 2/4 because the rake kills you!If you are online, do like p

BigD, you are correct in that no one has ever seen us together. My wife and I do have a horse ranch, and a horse that looks just like that. Just this one thing though. Look closely at the video, you can see this girl with a camera that many have thought was dutch in drag. Just putting that out there. If I can confirm this, it would prove that we are two different people.Please don't let this hurt my chances of being the flower girl. My wife is making the dress and that much fabric almost took all my tournament wins this week.

Good points. I did buy in for more. I don't want to go there... lol. I did buy in the next day for only $100. That may be one of my main problems with buy ins. Maybe I should put the max down which is $300 or half the largest stack.Definately something for me to think about.

This fish isn't going to online sites at all. I play live and do well in tournaments but suck big time online and in live cash. I think your response is spot on with the stacks and such. Thanks

Sorry dude, I made a major mistake.. I flopped a strt. 9s-10s-Js. I just made the correction.

All are good responses and greatly appreciated. I guess that my tournament mentality is kicking in on cash games way to hard.Thanks again guys.

Besides me being a total donkey on the cash tables, what do you think are some of the diffences in the two? I have had a wonderful heater for about four months on tournaments but started playing cash again recently and find that my cash game is total crap. Playing mainly 1/3 tables. Play 10/20 limit when they have it, which is only a couple of times a week. I do a little better there. This really reminds me of a story of a guy that won the US open back in the 30's or 40's. A guy said to analyze his grip and such and write a book. He said he didn't know how he did it and after analyzing it

Here's one more for you. I only have three topics today and want to thank everyone for the great responses. I think I finally found the adults!1/3 nl table.I am on the button. I saw very few folds to a $10 raise with more than 3 limpers. We had 5 limpers (I think. It was a couple of days ago.) I think the pot was $19. I was on the button with 8-7 off and had been semi-aggressive playing 20%-25% of the pots. I almost folded and decided to raise.I raised $15 into the $19 pot with sb and bb to go. SB calls. BB calls. everyone else folds. SB has been a pretty smart player so far. He ha

Thanks guys. I especially like the advice about the over bet. It confirms what a friend told me.One last thing though. If I make the raise on the flop instead of going all in, and the guy goes all in, do you fold and take the small stack and start rebuilding?Thanks again!

Hey guys, I need a little input. I play tons of tournaments and very little cash. Played cash for about 1 1/2 years with semi-positive results. Decided I would expand my repertoire, so to say, and I'm having a little trouble.I would like a hand analysis on this. This is new to me so please advise if I give too much information on these things and I'll make adjustments1/3 table. 1 excellent player (not me!) who plays every night and I was waiting for the 2/5 table to open, 5 rocks, 1 new first timer that played any face card with a $15 dollar raise, 1 maniac that played every hand and rais

You're right loosh. Thank you for the correction. That was not in PVT. Daniel is not to blame for my mis-doings. I'm going to give everyone their money back tomorrow.Thanks for showing me the light!

great post

I stand corrected. You should go ahead and only play serious poker after you are playing 4k/8k. If you're playing anything else, just go in, and sit down and the highest limit table there is and pick an ace to go all in on.Thanks profcker9 for pointing out my faults. If you hadn't corrected me he might have started playing serious in a smaller limit game. THANK YOU GOD FOR THIS FORUM AND THE POSTER HEREIN THAT ARE ALL KNOWING!!! AMEN!!!!!

THis is some of the funniest stuff I have ever read! The same guys that think it's not ethical to check raise are the same guys that think it's ok to alienate other posters! If we make a code of honor not to check raise, do we kick the guys out that keep making all-in calls with 7s-2s against a guy that has Aces, just because it's his favorite hand and he hits his flush? I think it's kinda like the guy that says, "You can't hit me with that chair. We're in a fair bar fight and since I started it, I make the rules!"PLZ!!! Get real. It's poker!

I have to agree for the most part. The one thing that I do wish, and he might be doing it so I don't know, is have Daniel and the other PVT pros play at a lot of 1/2 tables with guys that way below par. They usually sit with guys in Bobby's room and we sit with guys in Egghead's room. That might be one reason why so many pros have problems dealing with total donks at the ME or other larger tournaments. Their playing against luckboxes that they haven't dealt with in years and we have to play against them everyday at the small limit tables. IMO

This is only on tournament play so it might not apply at all so forgive me.I may be a little off here but the only time I have done that is if there were a few guys raised ahead of me after I checked and I am short stacked and decided when it got back to me I would go all in or re-raise. This gave me more chips to clean up if I hit the flop. If not, like Daniel says, there's always the next tournament.Probably not the situation you are talking about but I can see this as a more accepted check raise.

If you have to ask, you might consider 2/4 limit or 1/2 nl. After finding yourself to be extremely successful, move up.You have to grade yourself carefully. I have no problem getting into a $500-$1,000 buy in tournament. As strange as it may sound, I have a problem moving above 10/20 nl and still find problems as low as the 1/3 tables.Good luck and I hope you're floppin' nutz.Paul

Solid advice.As for the status of the table. I was second in chips. I had been in about 20% of the hands. I never saw a $10 bet get anyone out of the game if there were more than 3 people in the pot. The pot was $19 so I thought the 15 would get me 20 and if I hit it then great but if not the it was an easy fold. I knew that suited was only 3% better but the toughy hit with a flopped flush and strt for me. I was afraid to push on the flop because I didn't want to give anyone two shot to let their K or A hit. You pointed out my mane problem. I was already playing in a lot of pots and sho
