Full Tilt has no pre-reqs, but does not offer heads up or shootout type tournies. They are (I think) the only site that has mixed game tournies.

Here is what happened:I called, and he flipped over JdAs. River came 2d and we split the pot.

I was updating my blog with some hands when I came across this one. Figured I would throw it here and see what everyone thought.--------------------------------------------PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (2 handed) converterButton (t4100)Hero (t1900)Preflop: Hero is BB with Jh, 6h. Button raises to t200, Hero calls t100.Flop: (t400) 5c, Js, Jc (2 players)Hero checks, Button checks. I want to check-raise the flop, and think it will probably be an option since my opponent is pretty aggressive to begin with, but also was the aggressor pre-flop. Unfortunately he check

They posted on RGP that if Harrah's does not allow logos on the final table, or whatever, that they would still honor their deal.

Sweet - I had no idea that corporations spam'd poker sites.http://www.fulltilt.com/ :shock:

Just my 2 cents:Pre-flop: Bump it up your normal raise amount (I'd probably raise it up to T50,) Hopefully getting 1 or 2 of the 3 others to fold, or re-evaluate a slow-play.Post-flop: Bet the pot. (After a limp-in, I might actually try to check-raise.)Turn: Bet the pot.River: Bet the pot. (But without the pre-flop raise, you have to fear the Arlo. )Specifically for your last decision, I would call. The only thing I don't like about this hand is that you've not really extracted much information from the other players.

I just can't bring myself to agree with this statement. People fall in love with hands, and bet them strangely at times. I've seen pre-flop caps with much worse than the starting hands you've listed. Any suited Ace. Small pocket pairs (all the way down to ducks.)I think the most important part of this hand history is the Post-flop betting:Hero bets, UTG+1 raises, MP3 3-betsOut of curiousity, what do people say if this is slightly changed?Scenario 1:Hero bets, UTG+1 raises, MP3 calls?Scenario 2:Hero bets, UTG+1 calls, MP3 raises?Scenario 3:You've been at this table for an hour, and know one

Saw this the other day. Good stuff. I particularly liked this from your blog: Made me laugh.

My bad run has affected my play to some degree, but I'll give my thought process for each hand and the outcomes. The biggest dissapointment I have is that most of the outcomes don't reinforce the idea that I made bad decisions. IMHO it is a hard thing to recognize bad decisions when you win with them, or lose to poor opponents. I probably should not have included this one since it was three-handed. Playing short handed is a different beast entirely, however here is what was going through my head:Pre-flop, I'm loving TT, and I'm cap'n if I get the chance. Three handed this is a monster.Po

What site?I would email that hand # to support.

Congrats Suited!Thats really cool. Somone needs to find a small oolong figurine for you to use to protect your cards (Someone superglue minature pancakes on a ceramic bunny.)

My table of nine others (in no particular order) would be something like:1- Doyle Brunson2- Marcel Luske3- Daniel Negreanu4- Phil Gordon5- Dan Harrington6- Scotty Nguyen7- Paul Phillips8- Humberto Brenes9- Gus HansonI think that would be a fun table :-)
