i agree w/ allin. i think it's hilarious how everyone thinks dc is such a fish. Tehre's a reason why he plays the highest limits online and he hasn't gone broke... DN obviously can match him skillwise, pplaying higher limits regularly, but to say that DN will own this match seems ridiculous. Variance is a two-headed monster, and DN will endure the good and the bad. All the forum memebers playing 3-6 and 5-10 saying they'd own DC? please be serious.

i play at absolute, and i know that one of the gifts they offer for accumulating points is a free year of cardplayer magazine. THey also have bluff magazine and something else for less points. If you're interested, tons of sites offer rakeback for absolute so you should check that out as well. If you need some extra help, you can PM me but it shoudl be easy enough.

i woudl definitely do absolute first. The bonus is WAY easier to clear and the players, in my opinion, are far inferior. There are several other sites I would do before pokeroom, just because the bonus takes forever to clear. But between Absolute and Pokerroom, it's a nobrainer for me.

best one i´ve ever heard... and probably will ever hear about. Heads up match between Stuey Ungar and Mansour Matloubi. Here´s the action.NL Hold emBlinds at $200-$400Chip counts;Stuey 60000Mansour 40000Stu opens for 1600Mansour callsFlop: 3 3 7 rainbow (suits irrelevant)Stuey bets 6000Mansour callsTurn: KBoth checkRiver: QStuey checksMansour goes all in for 32000Stuey stares him down and then says, ¨You have 4-5 or 5-6, and i´m gonna call you with this.¨ What hand does Stuey call with? 10-9. He doesn´t even beat a jack high bluff! Unbelievable read and having enough faith in that read to put

i had little 2$ bets on sportsinteraction for harrington, todd brunson, layne flack, and phil ivey. Flack´s doing well, and if Ivey can just avoid AQ then he´ll be fine too. Obviously my support lies w them.

joe do you know the limits for the games in barcelona, both limit and NL holdem and omaha? Also the limits of the games in the UK if you remember as well. Thanks

Ive been in Spain for the past 3 weeks and I will be here for 3 more. I was curious to know if anyone had played in a B & M here before or anywhere else in Europe, just curious to hear your experiences and the similarities/differences between the U.S. and abroad. Also, any specific casinos that you may have played at in Spain, Italy, Amsterdam, and England along with the limits that they offer would be great. Thanks for your input.

another very interesting non-instructional poker book is Positively Fifth Street by Jim McManus. It discusses the WSOP in 2000(?) and his surpising run in the tournament as well as the events dominating the news at the time. Quite a good read.

don't slowplay so much

Even though you said that you don't like overplaying your hands, it seems as though a first position raise would either have a10 dominated or in a coin flip situation. In the long run, you think calling there is +EV?Because it's not.

just curious... who would you name as the favorites in each of the games? I don't really think there are 3 players in the world who are a favorite over Daniel in pot or NL hold'em, but i'd be interested to hear who you have to say. All other games, just for discussion's sake as well.

anyone have the link in rgp to the original post by Daniel that started all the drama between him and howard??

second year student on South. if there's a game getting together, please let me know. I can always fit time in my schedule for poker.

does anyone have anymore info on mike caro's seminars? please provide a link if you do.

My suggestion is you play the player's club freerolls that they offer. Although people flock to the games, it's an opportunity to build up a big stack early on and then ride it into the finals. I won a $5000 player's club freroll, and my bankroll has been relatively healthy since. It's worth a shot.

I was under the impression that Windsor didn't have hold'em, just poker games played against the dealer. When did this change?
