Am i the only one who don't know who most of this people are?

[$50 To $1,000]

^^^ I feel exactly the same. I was up to $150 this weekend and i've lost about $50 in cash games and tournaments. it seems like there's nothing i can do to avoid this situation.

[Question About Tournament With Rebuy]

I've never played a tourney with rebuy and add-on and i just suscribed to a $3.30 + R NL ($50,000 guaranteed) tournampent on PS. I have many questions :It says : "unlimited rebuy available until the first break" (1500 chips for $3.00) : ok " one add -on (3000 in chips for $3.00) available during the first break.Does it means that i i go broke early i can wait for the add-on during the break ? Or will i have to take a rebuy first ? I'm a little bit confused...More, what is the best strategy for this kind of tourney? Is it to play as much hands as possible because i can buy more chips if i lose it all, or should i play like if that was a tourney without add-on and rebuy ?Should i be ready to see some crazy call/raise because people will be more agrressive than usually?ps : It is still possible to unsuscribed if i need to....lol

[Should I Play Out Of Ma Bankroll?]

You could.As long as you are ready to move down pretty quick if you start losing its not a huge deal. I think I started playing the $10 game at a similar bankroll. It will be easy to tilt pretty hard though. How would you feel if you suddenly lose a couple of buy ins?Not sure about playing short stacked though. Is it really going to be good for your game, or are you just being impatient? I seem to remember you starting to play the $5 tables only recently.

Well, if i go under $100 i think i'd go back to $5NL or $2NL. And yes i've only been playing at 5 for 2 weeks. And honnestly i only lost money because of bad beats. I feel like i coulf maybe gain more money by playing at 10.

[Should I Play Out Of Ma Bankroll?]

Ok, i know the first rule is "don't play out of your bankroll!"I actually have $118 on my PS account (i've started with $18 40+ days ago). I was at 150 this weekend after 2-3 successfull tourneys, then i lost about $30 both in tourneys and cash games. I usually play at $0.05 and feel like i hit a plateau.my question is : can i try to play at $0.10 and see if i'm doing well or not? In fact i've already played two sessions at those stakes and i won money. more i don't see a big difference between playing $0.05 and $0.10. i plain to take a shot of those stakes with a $5 buy-in.Any opinions/advices?

Awwww...she's too cute.ps : i was expecting Daniel naked in strawberry marmelade or something....i'm desappointed

[When You Know Your Odds And People Don't....]

Pfff...did i play this hand like a fool? i still don't know. It just bothers me when you bet 5BB preflop and someone call with suited connectors then when you bet enough to make him fold he still call against the odds and finally hit his straight.http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/view.php/id/503750In fact that's one of my problems. For example, on this hand i thought that he could be on a draw and bet enough to make him fold. I always think that most players know their odds and will not play against them.Dude had an inside straight draw, with 2 cards to come his odds were about 5:1. I bet 0.45 so he needs at least 2.25 in the pot if he wants to call....but he called.Dunno waht to think about this kind of hands.

[How Do You Avoid Playing Badly]

OMFG...wtf?. lol. Priceless.

[Watched Free Video #2]

Daniel's a freak. Just sayin'

[Am I Playing The Wrong Way?]

^^Thank you.

[Aks : Was It Stupid?]

It is a little bit out of topic but i'd like your opinion about this hand.Yesterday i've played this hand, and believe me or not i knew that my opponent had AKs and was on a flush draw. I also know he's going to make his flush 1 time out of 3 when there's 2 cards to come (if i'm not wrong). I seriously hesitated before calling, i even think about folding my aces...but then i said to myself "well, i didn't play it very well, but i actually have the best hand, so there's no way i can fold". Of course opponent hit his flush and i lost a good amount of my stack but hey, that's poker!http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/view.php/id/502559ps : In this same session i had aces at least 6-7 times and i played them in a different ways each time. This one was better even if it was risky. Without the aces on the river i think i'd have been in bad shape :http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/view.php/id/502560

[Am I Playing The Wrong Way?]

Ok, thank guys. I think i'll not completely change the way i play because like you all said, at those stakes it doesn't really matters. During my lunch break i tried to only raised 3 BB pre flop and i won $3 in the session.I thing the good point of raising 5bb with any good hands is that most of the time you'll at least have 1-2callers ( at those stakes). So if you hit the flop and raise again it could turn into a very nice pot. But yeah, sometime i'll risk 25 to gain like 7 or i'll have to fold on the flop. So the variation might be important.I'll just try to mix it up more and trying to be completly unpredictable. The fact is i don't want to have betting patterns that i'll keep when i'll be able to play at higher stakes.Thanks for your advices/opinions.

[Aks : Was It Stupid?]

I would probably ship this in like every time.

As a stupid Frenchie i don't now the meaning of "ship". Does it means you'd go all in?

[What U Guys Think]

I'm pretty sure i'd have folded on the flop. But on the turn you have a set of 8's and there's 45 in the pot. I think i'd have raised up to 30, maybe 35 so your opponent has to call all in.

[What Is The Most Cash Games You Play Simultaneously?]

My max is 4. But i when i do that i have to play ABC poker because it is impossible for me to read an opponent when i'm playing against 32 players.I think i'm doing well with 2-3 tables max.

[Time To Take Things A Little More Seriously]

$15 to $105 in one day? Damn...you're either a good player or a total maniac.

[Am I Playing The Wrong Way?]

After i've read a lot of articles/books from some Pro players (like Daniel) i start to wonder if i play like i should do.I've started with a $18 bankroll 40 days ago, was up to $148 and now i'm at$122.If it can help you, here are my stats :I actually play at $0.05 and i'm trying to be unpredictable. So most of the time when i have a good hand i'll raise 5BB, if nobody raised before me and i'm in late position i'll make it 4 BB. usually i just limp with a pair from 2's to 7's and i will eventually raise with a pair of _8's or better. If someone raise before me i will fold a pair undet 8's and i'll raise with 9's or better.Now, i've read that one of the best way to play is to see a lot of flop for cheap. So people will usually raise 2 or 2.5BB with some good or even maginal hands hoping to hit the flop.My problem is that i'm a thigh player and it is very difficult to me to enter a pot with a crappy hands or even with a hand like JQs in later position if someone raise before me.I try to get value from my hands so i want a good hand to enter the pot and i'll raise cuz i want to be called by 1-2 or 3 people who have a worse hand than me.So my question is : am i playing i na way that doesn't make sense? it is crazy to always raise 5BB with a good hand ? Of course sometime i(ll hit the flop and i'll either bet 3/4 of the pot or slowplaying. But something there'll be no A or no K and the flop and i'll have to fold most of the time it someone bet a lot before me.Should i play looser and sometime enter the pot with a marginal hand if i only have to pay like 2BB?I must say that sometime it drives me nuts to see that someone breaks my AK, QQ, or something with a marginal hand cuz they paid all the wong long against the odds and finally get their card on the river.So i don't know if i play a tight and agressive poker or if i'm too conservative.

[Aks : Was It Stupid?]

Yeah, youre right. Next time i'll fold.

[Aks : Was It Stupid?]

Well, i guess it was........http://www.pokerhandreplays.com/view.php/id/495737

[This Is Too Funny]

There's no way i'd would have called with a pair of 7's.

[Is This A Fold?]

I'd fold.

[What Would You Do With Ak Here?]

6 handed NL in the $400-$800 mixed game. NLH hand is 100-200 blinds. Phil Galfond raises under the gun to 600 and I re-raise from the SB to 2200 with AK- he calls. Flop is K-7-2 rainbow I bet 2800- he calls. Turn is a 9, I check, he bets 5600. I have about 20,000 in front of me. Would you call, fold, or check-raise all in?

Pfff....difficult imo. He could has a set, no?....I think i'd call and see what the river brings. Or if i have really more chips than him i'd check-raise all in. Oh..i forget to say i don't know who Golfond is.

[I've Now Lost My Bankroll :(]

1. Get a job Lebowski.

OMFG...i lol'd hard.

[May Goals]

May goals : trying to gain $100. I'm actually playing at 0.05

[$10 Into $100,000]

Funny how fishes always remember the 1 time they win with a hand like this, and forget about the 1000 times they lose.

Hi guys, and Daniel. Is Joe Hachem trying to do the same thing as Daniel? Or maybe it is just a part of their "contract" with PS...cuz i saw him playing at $0.02 two days ago.Did i miss something?ps : Daniel, i'm reading your book actually. It's really a great book imo, i would recommend it to everybody.
