We are playing .25-.50 PL Omaha 4 handed. Player 1 is a very good loose aggressive player that has history of making big plays at pots. Player 2 is a more conservative player who plays close to the vest. Here is how the hand goes down....All four of us limp I have A K 2 8 Flop is 10 8 7 I was in the big blind, P1 was on the button and PL 2 was UTG.I check, P2 fires $2 and gets called by P1 and meTurn is 2 I check again, P2 fires $8, P1 calls, and I callRiver is 8 I check again, P2 checks, and P1 fires $25, after some deliberation I call, P2 foldsP1 had - 10 10 7 6P2 claimed he had

Just wanted to see if anybody could offer some useful tips that have helped them when playing shorthanded. My home game tonight will most likely be shorthanded and I just wanted some tips or tricks that I could concentrate on while playing.Thanks is advance...

The KKs was a type-o sorry LOL...you have to question my poker playing ability? The reason I wanted him to check behind me, because that pot was already big enough to be satisfied with, the board was scary with a straight possibility, and I could of had the worst of it. I had pretty much made up my mind I was gonna pay off a river bet, but was just hoping that he would check. I think this play in anything but weak-tight, just my humble opinion...damn newbies!!!

Playing in my weekly home game with a bunch of buddies, whom I know very well. We are playing 6 handed and my buddy, whom we will have the name Brian raised it to $2. We are playing NLHE .25-.50. He is a really good player, who plays a lot of Omaha, and that kind of carries over into the way he plays Holdem. He gets 2 callers behind him, plus the small blind, plus me in the big blind with Q J .Flop - Q 10 5 The small blind checks, I check, and Brian fires $4 into the pot. It folds around to me.This is one of the many times that I feel that this is a continuation bet. I check raise t

bumpI think the main reason is that I did not re-pop before the flop is that he did raise the minimum from the one hole, which looked very strong. I had no idea what type of player he was. I didnt want to commit all of chips at that time, to be at best a coinflip, but more than likely dominated.I think I had I just called the turn and it came a blank on the river, I would of had the chance, to either get away from it if he pushed all in or pay off a smallish bet and still have right around 10000 to work with...

lol...bump

I would have gladly taken my lumps if he had AA, A10 with the A , or AK with a :club:But he had K J , needless to say the board didnt pair and I was out...What do you think about his play from UTG and mine?

On the bubble in recent tourney with about 600 people, top 100 get paid. 110 people left, I am about average chips stack with 19000, my opponent is UTG with about 21000. Just got moved to this table so not sure how he plays, blinds are 600-1200.He raises to 2400 UTG. I call from the cutoff with 10 10 and everybody else foldsFlop - A 2 6 He checks, I checkTurn - 10 He bets 1200, I raise to 5000, he pushes all in.Couple of Questions...1. What do you do if you were me? I called because 40000 in chips would have put me with the chipleaders, and I was playing to win the tourney not just

LOL...are you his bodyguard?...just messing with ya, I am just giving him a hard time because he gave me a hard time...

Although I think Elvis was at the Fitzgerald a block or two from us...

Who put sand paper on this guy's toilet seat? Nothing was meant by this generalization, the theatre wasnt even half full for the Sunday night show. I would assume that it is different on Fridays and Saturdays. Ill be the first to admit that we got lucky, I did not mean anything by my generalization. TSwing take a chill pill, have you had a bad experience getting tickets or with Penn and Teller?

$75 and you can call almost anytime and get really good seats. We called 3 hours before the show got 5th row center...

i am still laughing, but i edited the post so only you, suited up, would know of my "fish-like" comment...

Thats fine, dont know why i said incredible, it was a bad adjective...lol...just I was proud of myself, especially knowing I made the right decision and didnt have to wonder, know what i mean?Looking back again, INCREDIBLE was a bad word to use, i am laughin at my self right now for saying that now...

Just got back from Vegas and figured I should give a quick little post about my experiences. I went with my whole family for my wife’s 21st birthday. We stayed down of Fremont Street at the Golden Nugget. This is just a recap of most of the poker playing, but we did a lot of other fun stuff. We got a limo from the airport and believe it was worth it not having to try to rent a car or catch a cab.Day 1Within about 30 minutes of getting there we head across the street to Binions to grab something to eat and my mom hits a royal flush on 25 cent machine and makes a quick grand. A good way to

the rhino, whats that?

I will be going to Vegas at the end of the week with my wife and all of my family. Just got a couple of questions. I have been there a couple of times before, but it was a while back.1. What is something that the Wife and all the woman can do while we are playing poker? She has never been and have told her about everything I can think off, shopping at the Bellagio, shopping at Caesars, etc...what else would they like to do besides shop and see some shows?2. Need some ideas for some good restuarants. We like any kind of sports bar or steak house, but nothing real fancy like at the top of

I know this has probably already been said and resaid somewhere else, but I just had a couple of questions about the Protege Tourney.What happened to the older guy? Never really was clear on the whole situation involving that?Wasn't there another guy that got his chips taken up for one reason or another?Were there any total donks or really good players?Is the guy that won it pretty good?What was the final hand and how did all the chips get in the middle?Thanks in advance for helping me with these questions or can point me to a thread that will benefit me, even if i get flamedJ.Vick

naaa i know who brent carter is....this guy's name is brent fisher, he is probably just a small time part time pro, but Andy Miller he has one millions in the past couple of years, he got 7th in that WPT Event that Danny nguyen won, i think it was the shooting star in 04

Last night I played in a tournament with 2 guys that I thought were pros. One was Andy Miller, I know he is a pro and plays all the big buy-in events and does very well. The other guys name, who I played at the same table with for a while, was something like Brent Fisher. I am pretty sure he is a pro as well, but not to the scale of Miller. They are both from where I am from, and was just wondering what anybody new about them, or if they have played with them in vegas...i looked them up on card player, but wanted some other knowledge...

I want in, sign me up...when and where can we find out more info about getting in a team and who they choose for captains?

Thanks Mercury, I mean its obviously that 9 times out of 10 I am not gonna call the flop much less the turn unless I have a good reason...
