For you americans who complain over high prices on gas. 3 bucks for a gallon? If I remember correctly from school thats 4,5 litres approximately, right? (We dont have that measure where Im from).Well, right now the price for one litre of gas here in Sweden range from maybe 1,6 - 1,7 dollars per litre. That would be a little more than 7,5 bucks for one gallon. You carcrazy americans should in fact be happy. Peace.

Love that. Me too.I'm all in -
I I have a bankroll of 1000 dollars and Im playing 1/2 fixed, can I still play three tables at the same time according to all of yours' calculations?

hahaha, agreed
No line will make me laugh harder all day. Thanks man.Last time I was in Tunica John Daily sat at the 20/40 table I was on. I saw him go through about 3k in 2hrs. I know he's not a poker pro but it was cool to meet him, he's a great american. -
Two amateurs at Mike Matusow's table go all-in, heads up. We'll call them AceKing and AceJack. AceKing had A-K in the hole, and AceJack was holding A-J. AceJack sees what AceKing is holding and says "I'm dead." Mike Matusow shouts "No you're not! You're like 3-1!" The flop comes K-10-4. "See! All you need now is a Queen instead of a Jack," says Matusow. Sure enough, the next card off the deck is a Queen. And so is the next card. Anyways, so then Mike Matusow is all "See. You're fine. There's no skill in poker. Poker is a joke. Tounament poker is a joke. Whoever gets most lucky is the next superstar."More MikeLog: Matusow limps in, and now the player in seat 7 makes it 1900 to go. Matusow reraises all-in for his last $11,700. The raiser beats him into the pot. Matusow shows 3-3, while his opponent has Q-Q. The board comes A-3-7-4-8, Matusow doubles up before saying "Lotta skill in poker, boys. All skill. Lotta skill." He then he goes on to recount the hand, call himself a donkey, and reminsce about the days when he "used to be a pretty good poker player."-------------With the board showing 10s-5c-4s-9d, the one player left checks, and Mike Matusow bets $1,000. His lone opponent calls. The river is the 7s. The player again checks, and Matusow bets $5,000, putting his opponent all-in to call. The player then takes nearly 5 minutes to make his decision. Matusow tells him to take his time, and that he won't call the clock. Finally, he decides to fold, and Matusow shows J-10 for a pair of tens with a Jack kicker. As he pulls in his chips he says "I bet you're really steaming right now.""Actually, no," the player says. "You couldn't beat a ten and you took that long to decide!?""I had a ten but I couldn't beat that.""The whole time I'm sitting there, praying for you to fold, and it turns out all along, I wanted you to call!"

I hate that whenever I manage to convince myself that poker is more skill than luck I sit down in a homegame with all beginners and some dude that started off the evening with a lesson from me in what the small and the big blind is, finish off the evening with all the chips. I HATE THAT YOU CANNOT READ FISH IN A HOMEGAME! I mean, I am a consistently winning player online, but in a homegame this does not matter, even in the longrun. The reason is that some people for example dont understand that they have the option to fold instead of calling with their queen high when I checkraise them with nothing. Why dont they understand that I am representing a strong hand? This is one example why poker is always more fun playing with "good" players. At the same time it makes me wonder what poker really is about. My theory is that in a homegame we are talking about 10 % skill and 90% luck, while in a tough game with players who kno their sh-t, we are talking about maybe 40% skill 60% luck...This is my biggest poker conundrum. Thoughts?

Seriously, we all know that pointing someone out as the best poker player in the world is very hazardous due to the nature of the game. However, I would like to (as we say in Sweden) put my nose up in the weather and state once and for all that Phil Ivey probably has some sort of ability that no other player posesses. I dont have to tell anyone here what record the man has this spring/summer. It is simly astonishing. I dont know what I want to say in this post really, just that I am dearly impressed by this guy. Views? You guys who want to flame, please keep your hands off the keyboard...

I definately agree with this one. This is the phrase someone who is not consistently winning would use."It worked, didn't it?" -
No, you get lost Royal Tour. I dont like you. I dont know you, but I dont like your posts. Whats that?...oh really? Well said...
why dont u read the entire thread douchebag.The guy asked if any of us, has ever won and blah blah.. get lost
Somewhere, someone is clapping.I've won a few MTT, some 200, and 1 was 500 players.I've won a 40 player local tourny, and i've finished in final tables at other 60+ player events (charity, local bar events etc..) -
Hahahahahahahaha. Now this is a funny post!!Catch a boat on the lake instead of the flop, and then just keep sailing.
And to the original poster and the guy who wrote about his boat. What you have to understand is that it is pretty obious you havent been playing much poker and most people on this forum are sharks or at lest barracudas. They eat people like you for breakfast. I know the comments are hard, but just give it a smile and move on. Come back in six months when your KK have been cracked by AA 45 times and you found yourself with a boat on the flop 70 times and you will realize your posts are pretty funny...

Now this is a funny post :-)
Post a link to his site.....I'll continue the rumor mill....I heard that he punched the dealer in the face and then poured Gas over the dealer while unconcious and dropped a lit stogie on him....all right there in the poker room.Charges are not being pressed...as the Dealer made a serious error that cost Josh a pot. Funeral arrangments are being made by the RIO for the dealer.He did complain about dealers on his website a couple of days ago -

It´s fun that you are all acting like Im a pokernewbie not knowing my shit. Very typical pokerplayer attitide....I know my statistics, believe me, just tired of being outdrawn...Dont get me wrong, I do believe that you are all extremely extremely skilled world class players

Honestly, how often do you win with queens or kings in limit holdem online, where 60% of the table see the flop. I feel that I get outdrawn at least 4 times out of 5. Im gonna write a pokerbook saying that in limitholdem the only cards you should play are suited connectors between 7-K. Im so tired to get outdrawn on the river Im gonna puke. Hahahahaha, as I write this my KK was just outdrawn on the river...Hahahaha. Its just ridiculous. Im going back to NL.

The good apart about Cincinnati Kid is the opening scene where he calls down the tough guys bluff with a pair of eights. The rest of the movie is just sleezy, boring and certainly does not emphazise the skill in the game. I mean, its just ridiculous that the champ catches a straight flush in the last scene. Judging from that I guess poker is pure luck. I really dont like the end. I guess it's partly because Im not a big fan of 5 card stud, but nevertheless...

That example is just a bad beat. There is no way anyone can put anybody on quads with maximum a pair on the board. You shouldnt even think about whether you did something wrong in that hand. Generally to play good poker, you need to be in a state of mind where you think it is fun, rewarding and exciting. When I run into bad beats I know the best thing to do is stop playing until I feel confident again and in the mood for playing. I know this is something easier said than done, but it is definately the best way to make the black cloud go away. Playing more and more to catch up, is armageddon...

Would be nice to see Annie Duke get her ass kicked by any internet qualifier. That womans' selfimage is just unreal...

Alright, here is my conundrum. In a shorthanded NL game of lets say5 people where I am in late position, I find K9 offsuit in the hole. The flop comes Q 9 3 rainbow, with 4 players still in the hand. Second player bets half the pot. Third player folds. What do I do in this situation? The pot odds of course tell me to fold...but I mean, in a shorthanded game he could have nothing just as well. And if I do call I feel that I must continue to rely on my assumption thathe doesnt have the queen...Any advice?

I am just curious where that quote is from at the bottom (Mr Madison) It's damn funny...Brian (Michigan): will you ever play Daniel over at the Wynn heads up? Phil Hellmuth: (3:24 PM ET ) The Wynn started slowly so far. But would I play him heads up? Yes. At the stakes he wants to play? No. But you have to give respect where respect is due. Give him credit. If I'm not going to play some internet players heads up at UltimateBet, doesn't seem like it would be very smart for me to play Daniel heads up. Great players play great players because of ego
-
At least Hellmuth tells bad players that they are bad. Greenstein tells the good players that they are bad. I think its hilarious. Touche!

I cant see a king in your hand, so whats there to think about. I mean if you bet out when you are first to act and get raised all in from a guy who is sort of shortstacked, he has at least a king in his hand nine times out of ten. Easy fold.
