negreanu just put all his $15.7 million dollars after he got wasted and put it all on red.....and the ball hit black.another one to add to the broke list..............................

What i try to do when im on a downswing (and im just recovering from my worst this year) is try to focus even more on every single decision im making. Really think it through, ill be happy to let the clock run down a bit if it means im actually thinking about my decision.I've also found myself re-evaluating some strategies and reassuring myself that what im doing is correct to the best of my knowledge. I also find it useful to look around a few other poker forums and, as well as reading some threads, look for those also on downswings. It helps me a lot to know im not playing badly, and that i

The price of the game isnt how much it costs, its the opportunity cost of lost earnings while not playing for real money.I dont have as much time as id like to play for real money, so i dont see myself wanting to play this.With all due respect to DN, i mean id have this viewpoint no matter who was helping with it.Yes it would be fun to play against the big players of the modern game, but id rather keep building that roll and hopefully get to play in a few big tournaments one day.Id like to hear from those who are intending to buy the game and why. For losing players or even players, i think

right click on the normal screen when you've just turne don your computer (desktop?), go to properties, then click on settings, and there should be a bit where is does screen area, just get as bigger screen area as you can.

in from the UK, personally i thought it was overvalued. Im not finance expert, but from what i can tell they have pretty much no assets, all you ar buying into is the profit potential. If they can develop a monopoly on the online poker, then yes, they wil be a good buy, but the gap decreases, then it could be in for problems.But then again the start has been very good, so maybe i should of bought at opening.

when you played that i was thinking AA or KK, so you had me fooled, the mistake was two-fold, one risking chips when you didnt need to, and secondly trying to bluff the retarted calling station, but again well done for 6th

dude, what the $(*$( was that!?!??! you did so well to get that far and then play a hand like that!?!!? no offence but that was a final table to play tight on. so much raising etc all you had to do was pick them off, and you tried to bluff the mega calling station, wtf!?!? anyways, well done for coming 6th though

surprised thomas called that raise all in with A4off!?!!

nice pot, that jackson guy LOVES the min bet, hes pretty bad i think

dude, im watching, good luck, good to see a few already knocked out without you needing to risk anything

im in london, my brother works close to where one of them went off, but a couple of streets away so should be fine, obviously all the phone entworks are down which sucks. just to add why today - mayor of london is in singapore re olympics, blair up in scotland with G8 and lots of media attention focused on britain due to G8, plus a lot of the main anti terrorism department will have been focusing on G8 gleaneagles rather than in london. This is damn afwul but its not as bad as the recent madrid attacks. plus its my 21st birthday.

i was at the gutshot last night. its a friendly place, mix of old guys and quite a few young student types like myself. they have a tournament on each night and as soon as enough people are out there's a £25PL cash game and a £50PL cash game. check the website for all the details. nice bar area as well, you'll like it.

totally wrong. totally wrong. Judaism is NOT a religion. It's a race.you are born into Judaism. Even if you are not a praticising the Jewish beliefs, you still are a Jew. Christianity and Islam for example are religions, as you can convert from one to the other. You cannot convert from/to a Jew, only start/end practising Judaism.So yes, you win your bet, and it is a race, not a religion.just to add; in more recent times you may of heard of people 'converting' to Judaism. Like every group, they want to expand, and hence now 'accept' these as equal Jews, however, their is a passage in the Torah

a table of ten players should see one of those ten players picking up pocket aces 1 in every 22 hands.

good NL players experience less variance than limit.far too many players cant fold big hands in NL that they have huge swings.if your making big calls on the river and your behind, its your decisions which are bad, not 'oh look, my top pair top kicker got beat his set, thats so unlucky'. whereas any decent NL player would know the reason why he's betting big is he's either on a big bluff or on a big hand. and by following betting patterns you can usuallly rule out if the player is willing to make big bets to steal.

i wish i qualified for the WSOP main event starting on July 7th - thats the day of my 21st birthday.

The drought has ended today!!!!!at long last after another couple of days of about evens i picked up around $600!!toot!

Having read Hellmuth's recent book im suprised you need to read any other book. Your poker learning is surely complete!

its got to be tough to play poker again after coming 2nd. you lose a heads up effectively worth $3.4 million and realistically the only ever chance you'll have of being a WSOP main event champion.

i was going to reply quite in depth to this, but i need not, Blink20 said it absoultely spot on. the only harder part of limit for me is dealing with the variance.

just to let you know, a gift from the heavens came to me tonight. nothing amazing, but hey. having been playing a fair bit the past few days, still to no profit (although no loss either, picked up about $80 yesterday which was at least some revival). today i was playing 1-2NL 2 tables short handed, was about evens. then i switched to try some heads up NL cash rather than a sit and go heads up. i play a 50 buck buy in, the other guy has $78. i think he must be not bad as hes up. i lose the 50 bucks. he made a few massive overraises all in and that may of got me a bit annoyed. hand was me with

some really good thoughts, cheers.i really should try to get a seperate poker account and spending account going. ive tried a few times to deposit a certain amount and just build that up, but i end out getting stuck for a while on a certain level in my account and then cash out back to another number.agree with the 'keep playing' rather than taking a break. so long as i know im playing my winning game it'll be the fastest way to get out of it. although i have taken the rest of the day off and looking for someone i want to buy - yes, that counts as 'taking a break' for me :-) have to say i won

as a few of you may know, im a student who like others are doing it as a summer job.and the first few days have made me think;when you win at poker, your not often celebrating the fact that you have won x dollars, but more the long term implications that you are a 'winning' poker player, and that this makes you feel as if the future looks bright.however, the flip side is a %*$* pain.so i decided to calculate my winnings since november 2004; $9,200.if someone had told me this, id be over the moon, i had debts, ive paid them all off and still have around $2,500 to spend as i wish (although that

i did have respect for raymer until i saw his play in the british open final and the wsop single table tournament of champions - he just cant resist all in preflop. this would only be a correct strategy if he thought his flop play was weaker than his opponents. and the times he chooses to go all in sometimes are laughably bad.

forget ed norton in rounders, try ed norton in red dragon, when he has the same length and colour hair, especially at the end when he's on the boat....i cant tell the two apart.
