OK. Is there a list of confirmed players? I saw a huge list of players (GPI) then the roster and thought that was it. They also have a full page for Daniel with pic and bio so I was fooled!! heheThat's just a list of players who Epic Poker says are eligible to play, it doesn't mean that they're entering and unless he has a drastic change of heart he won't be playing their events this year. -
Why am I up at 7:38am in Vegas? Time for a groggy post!Daniel's argument is valid and I fully agree, despite the fact that he did get totally frustrated on QuadJacks. I have seen floor people perplexed by this rule for years. It needs to be re-written or removed.I think Savage is a nice guy and great TD but I will never agree with the rule. Lets make a sport that's considered boring, by many, even more uneventful by enforcing silence!?
Soooooo, what about the collusion/cheating? You will never 100% stop cheating. I used to go to shady home games in Asheville, NC. There are a PLETHORA of ways to cheat that do not involve talking. I was asked to be a part of some shady things and declined of course. Besides, who would want to watch poker on TV if everyone just sat their quietly? We just say Jennifer Tilly tell everyone on the Poker Stars Big game that Phil Laak will make faces and signals to discourage her from putting money in a pot when he's got a good hand. They are both great people but it's so easy to bling one eye or put a finger on a chip to signal to your supposed villain. I know it's hard to police everyone but we DO have dealers at every single table and they know the dynamics of poker. They should be given the power to inspect mucked hands if they suspect any bizarre activity. Any time there is excessive talking about the contents of a hand between two players in that hand, the dealer could always look at both mucked hands quickly and discretely. Security experts aka dealers are there anyways & wouldn't cost the casino any more hourly wages.I like the proposed compromise but would prefer they abolish the rule. "When a player is facing a bet in a heads up pot, he is free to say anything about the contents of his, or his opponents hand."P.S. Also, I just saw that Daniel is listed on the Epic Poker league roster!?! Didn't he just yack for 30 minutes on how he wouldn't be playing? -
lolWe'll I need to practice on endurance, stamina and not getting bored. These may be the perfect candidates to prepare for the WSOP main event. And hey your still at home. You can turn on music, eat, watch TV during etc..fyp -
It's not too bad. The $11, $22, $33 "Deep Stacks" still have the longest structure. Their structure is better then the sunday million. If I was an mass multi-tabler I'd play those for sure.DNG sunday special. hella slow structure. -
Shalom!I'd like to find a list of weekly tournaments that have a good structure on all the major sites. I don't want to play hyper-mega blast your stack off turbos. I'm not looking for WSOP main event structure, however most of the online events I've seen are horrible!! Lets just have the WCOOP every month! Has anyone seen a list of online tournaments with good long lasting play in the $50-$500 price range.Thanks.Thoughts?

These are just idea's I'm throwing out there. It's not just 'my friend'. Now I've talked to over 20 random strangers who didn't know there was a secondary room with events being held. The Pavilion is so big that people think 'thats all there is'. Maybe just add some signs telling guys to come check out the action in the Amazon room behind the poker Pavilion would be sufficient. I knew to find it but apparently a lot of people are lemmings. I want the masses to have fun and want to come back to the WSOP next year so poker will grow
Nothing more. But yes, the funnel idea would be a logistical nightmare. I just think they should equally split it. Anyway. Other then multiple reports of people getting sick from the salad at the poker kitchen, it's being run very well. -
I just want the 'newbie' fans to be happy and continue to come back.I was moseying back to my hotel room, via the elevator, and heard a guy say, 'this is my first year playing a WSOP event and I'll never do it again!' Another older couple asked if he saw any famous pros and he said no. He played in event #36. He was card dead and didn't cash but maybe if he had mingled with a few pros and felt like a star for a few minutes, he'd want to come back.I think all major events with the pros should be played in the Pavilion room and you should have to walk through it to get to the smaller sub events. Like a funnel. That way people get the maxim chance to mingle with the prosCD

hartman72,Yes, I forgot that I was not posting on 2+2 (hehehe needle) I agree with you on that, but the WSOP is a whole experience. It'snot a quick dash down to a local casino. It could potentially bringnew curious players in to the game who are just visiting for thesummer, UFC or July 4th holiday.I'm not on the players advisory board for a reason :)I personally don't care about watching familiar faces but sooo many people do.

First off--Please don't' flame me. This is just my opinion and observations. Healthy input is welcomed.-----------I am disappointed with the WSOP and how they have financially segregated the tournaments between the Pavilion and Amazon rooms. A lot of players come to the WSOP to check out the guys they have been watching on TV and railing online. When you arrive, they point you in to the first Pavilion room which is basically where the noobs are grinding donkaments. There are very few pros in that section.I realize that they need all the space they can get but seems they are purposely only running higher buy in events in the Amazon room. I have a friend here who has been playing cash and $200-$1000 tourneys for over a week here. He said 'Gee, I thought there would be more pros here in the Amazon room'. He is a smart guy, but he was unaware that he'd been playing in the Pavalion and that there was even a second room. It's not that obvious to a newbie. I then talked to a few other guys who didn't know there were other events going on in the Amazon hall. I just think it would be good to put a big event in the Pavilion from time to time too. The $10k HU event yesterday could of easily fit. To top it all off, there is a guard and thug standing by the entry to the Amazon hall as if to say 'thou shalt not pass!'How about they throw up a sign that says "Come see how sick Durr is! Rail Phil Ivey as he reads souls. See how many times Scotty will say BABY. Come visit the Amazon room behind the main poker Pavalion!' Maybe the 'pros' have expressed interested in not having a lot of rail birds? Just curious. Last year it was wonderful to have everyone mixing it up with the pros in one location.I was going to make a blog post about this but then I remembered that I have no blog :)Thoughts? Geoff

Update: The Bodog app works but doesn't have poker. GrrrrrrrA lot of site consider SmartPhones those that run Windows Mobile OS. In this case BlackBerry does not. I should of clarified. Right now Cake just has WindowsMobile support (Samsung Blackjack etc). They are working on a one for the BlackBerry OS and should be done later this year. Woooo. I'm on the beta test list now.CD -

Greetings,This may of been asked before or not but here goes . . . Does anyone know if the major sites have any poker applications for the BlackBerry or SmartPhone? I'm talking CASH not play money games. We have tons of useless apps available but I'm usually waiting somewhere that I have my phone but not my laptop.CD

I have been working on a spread sheet but then someone pointed me to this post. Both the links are down. Can someone post a working link to the Office 07 version of the XLS? Thanx!
-
Thanks for the link. I think I will! Or just copy some of their code in to mine. I spent so much time on my sheet that I don't want to murder it quite yet.

I will have to revisit that section in Super System. Just skipped over it before. I am ready for the maddness.Thanks for the input.Geoff
IMO, Omaha is great game... It is my number one favorite, but it can also be very frustrating at times, even more than Hold'em. But I've learned most through playing... If you want to learn some basics just stick to the lowest level. You will not learn a lot about tactics, but at least you will learn about what hands play well and which do not... Anyway, it is a game worth learning. -
Calling all nerds (ok I'm one too),I have a large column in excel that I track my P&L with. I'd like to calculate my average win and average loss. Any of you have a formula for this? Basically if its a NEGATIVE number it needs to go to the loss formula and if its a POSITIVE number it needs to go to the win formula. I could separate my P&L in to separate loss/win columns but I'm sure there must be a more elegant way to do it without having to unformat the data like that.EXAMPLE of how the P&L is organized: NET-$199.00 $340.00 $420.00-$180.00 $659.00 $570.00-$150.00

I'm a pretty good Holdem player (like most I people here) but suck fat donkey balls at Omaha. Did most of you Omaha guys learn to play while learning all the other games. Do you think its better to master one game at a time and then move to on to study the next one? I'm trying to decide if I should start learning about the other games now or just focus on improving my holdem play for the moment. I'm already a member of PVT so that's helped a lot as it is. Love watching the HORSE events.

Shalom!I've been reading a lot lately (yea surprise eh). Just wanted to get a quick set of replies on what everyone thinks the 'must have' books to prepare for NLH Cash games would be. We'll skip the tourney only books for now. Please don't reply with "Daniels" or "all the books Mike had on the shelf in Rounders" :)Geoff

I'd like to be a little taller though. Just downloaded and watched X-Men last night, thats the only reason I read this thread. Not a bad!! Go see the Hangover for a good laugh. (yes I pay for things too from time to time but I did sneak in a bottle water)Daniel just represents a poker player that a lot of people should aspire to be if they take the game that serious. -
Are we all watching just because shes cute? hey there is plenty o porn on the Internet. dough.. guilty

Grrr,Stop putting up all this funky fresh new content on PVT. I'm trying to catch up!!

Can someone explain to me why someone will post: "XXX is a great player and genius" then I look them up on OPR/PTR and they are losing over a million dollars and have a graph that starts at 0 and never returns to the positive? Are these tracking sites misleading or are the training site misleading? I don't mind giving the benefit of the doubt. I'm specifically talking about cash game results, not tournaments.You can easily look-up nanonoko on the same sites and see shining results.I am not here to gripe, I'm honestly trying to decide WHICH site to subscribe to and DEVOTE my full attention to. That's why I'm looking up their coaches on various result reporting sites. If any of you are instructors, chime in please or PM with recommendations.Looking for advice/training on deep stack live cash games $2/$5 to $25/50 or the online equivalent.
