Typical remark of someone from Massachusetts who thinks the rest of the world is as liberal as his home state.I'm sure you can't possibly fathom how we have a republican senate, house, and president in the midst of a nation full of liberals.For a liberal, you sure do a goodjob of stereotyping others, Smash. But I guess my mistake was stereotyping liberals as open-minded.It used to make me laugh how Americans would attack each other over things like this. Now it scares me because its coming north of the border too.

my mother has started watching celebrity poker
TheSandMan replied to TheSandMan's topic in General Poker Forum
2003 WSOP -
Its good that she is starting to enjoy poker. Thankfuly she seems to enjoy the game more than the celebrities. She wants me to teach her how to play. Some people joke around that they would check raise thier mother, I guess I will get that chance.I guess even bad poker is better than no poker. If people like my Mom are getting into poker, thats a good thing IMO. The more people that are interested the bigger the tournaments prizes and the more coverage on t.v we will get.I can't stand celebrity poker though. Its funny sometimes but normaly only one person at the table has any idea what they ar

cash games, tournaments or sit n gos?

You and me seem to be at opposite ends of the field. I am lucky if I break even in cash games on-line. -
cash games, tournaments or sit n gos?
TheSandMan replied to TheSandMan's topic in General Poker Forum
I guess I have just been lucky. I haven't played the 100 plus games that some people are suggesting. I have probably played around 30 or so. And yes, I have had some bad luck. In the last SnG I played I had someone call me and make a gut shot to beat my aces. Put me down to almost a chip and a chair. I had the final tournament results e-mailed to me.I could post them if you want me too. -

Excatly. I don't play for big money on-line. Too easy to get carried away. 5/10 and some nice low buy in sit n gos are the way to make your money on-line I find. -

I highly doubt that 5th place in 10 person sitngos is your worst finish unless you have only played about 10 total.Why would you be surprised? I am a smart player and with everyone and thier mother playing now its easy to pick of the weakest of the herd. And if I don't, someone else does. -
should i keep playing serious poker?? (very long)
TheSandMan replied to a topic in General Poker Forum
I suggest you switch to sit n gos. They are an excellent way to get back in the grove of things. Cash games are heaven if your luck is good, they will suck you dry if you seem to be losing to a 27 with pocket aces.It happens to us all. Just take a little while off, and come back fresh. I know from personal experience that the worst thing you can do after you lose a lot of money is try and win it back right away. -
Whats your favorite way to play on-line? I like cash games, but I am a much better sit n go player. The lowest I have ever finished was two out of the money.

Your first ROYAL FLUSH and how it went...
TheSandMan replied to LONEWOLF's topic in General Poker Forum
My second royal didnt go as well. I made it on the turn. Couldn't get anything out of it. Strange, normaly you get more action on-line. -
Your first ROYAL FLUSH and how it went...
TheSandMan replied to LONEWOLF's topic in General Poker Forum
I was playing a cash game with some former friends (different reason than this hand LOL). I got AK suited and I raised triple the BB after two people limped in. The guy on the button called and one of the limpers called too.BOOM, flop comes down QJ10 of spades. It took every shred of will power I had not to smile. Limper checked, I checked, guy on the button bets. Limper folds I call. Another 10 comes down. I check again and the guy on the button goes all in. I called.He turns over QQ with a huge smile on his face. I laughed as I turned over my cards. Thats the first time I got a standing ov -
is anyone else experience bad lag on pokerstars.net?
TheSandMan replied to TheSandMan's topic in General Poker Forum
The only reason I stay on pokerstars.net is because I like the layout. The speed is suspect and the cards don't seem to follow normal poker odds. You make your straight or flush WAYYYY too offen for my tastes.
