I signed up to be a charter member last month but never received a email outlining the "charter member benefits"? After signing up to be a charter member, I received an instant email confirming it but nothing else ever came. I want to open an real money account with FCP but dont want to miss out on any extra stuff. What are the benefits of being a charter member and if I just open an account will I get them.?I am offering a referral bonus to whoever helps me figure this out.I want to deposit a fairly large sum of cash tonight so hurry!!!Thanks,Adidas Freak

We've all heard the adds for "pro football handicappers" on the radio but has anyone actually used one?I have an account with Paradise poker which offers a sportsbook and I was considering using a handicapper to make some bets.Anyone have any experience with this?Any help would be appreciated.Thanks!

How about, censored you you stupid piece of shit?Yeah, that works.How about, u go suck a 8====D you homo!Then when you're done, go drink a nice tall glass of shut the f-ck up!Thanks!

I like the neteller ATM idea but why deposit the money into a bank. That does leave a paper trail of deposits. Why not just use the cash to buy money orders to pay your bills with. This way you can just keep the legit money in the bank???

I really dont care how basic it is or if he really invented it. I have no plans on using it. All I want to know is what the strategy is. All I am asking is for someone to tell me where I can find it or, better yet, just tell me the theory.Please dont reply with "just search". I just tried searching and can't find it.

So, according to you, the theory is to buy in for the max and just move all in every hand?I know Smash is a little ecentric but not retarted.Can I please get a reply from someone who isn't a complete idiot!By the way Jlgosse, please dont ever respond to one of my posts again...ever!Thanks a bunch!

I've tried searching for Smash's theory but can't seem to find it. Can anyone point me in the right direction or tell me the theory? Also, was there ever a consensus on whether it worked or not?Thanks in advance!

For what it's worth, I was in Vegas about a month ago and saw Gus playing in the big game with Chip Reese.

Why would anyone hack into your account and then spend 8 hours trying to make u money? What was he gonna do then? Have a check sent to you and then break into your mailbox, steal the check and forge your signature? Or, was he gonna just transfer the hard earned dough into his own account and hope you didn't notice any activity? C'mon buddy...c'mon buddy! Be honest with yourself! One of your friends did it or, at the very least, allowed a third party to see the password and that person did it. Friends can be shady when it comes to money...accept it and move on.

If you're playing no-limit, the mistake is probably the amount you are betting. That is, by far, the biggest and best tell when playing against the same player constantly. Most people raise the same amount preflop to disguise their hands but they fail to continue this throughout the hand.Most players have a specific amount they bet when they want to get paid off on a made hand and a specific amount they bet when they are bluffing. This is such a great tell in no-limit and especially heads-up no limit. People who bet on draws also like to bet a specific amount and this too becomes obvious.

They only showed two hands of Raymer v. Williams heads up because they only played 7 hands after getting heads up. If I'm not mistaken, the pot Williams won was the only one that made it to the flop before the final hand.

From what I can remember, Boyd and Jungblut came up with the idea for an online cardroom where there would be a small monthly fee instead of a rake. A great idea by the way! Anyways, Boyd was in charge of marketing this idea to potential investors because he had more knowledge and experience in the field of online cardrooms. Jungblut claims that Boyd would go off to pitch the idea and always come back with bad news. No interest at all. Eventually Jungblut discovered that Boyd was pitching a rakefree website for himself. The original collective idea was for a website called zerorake (or s

I love Vida Guerra's azz!

I think this applies mostly to no-limit games. My only experience in limit holdem is low-limt holdem. The highest limts I've ever played were 6-12. Trust me when I say this, there is no room for loose play in low-limit holdem. Tight play is the only way to get the money. I have played low-limit holdem approximately 200 times at 20-25 different casinos over the last two years and the only thing I have to figure out when I play is should I play tight or super tight. With this said, there was only ONE time when I felt true loose play was justified and worked. This was at Diamond Jims Casin

Yes, after the non-pro successfully plays those hands and makes it at the major professional levels than they can play these "marginal hands" as you say without being abused. But, by that time they are a pro.Also, a set implied a pocket pair. You are talking about trips. You have already disqualified yourself from making good judgements. You are no expert and are not in touch with the game because you are missing so much information.I came to this realization clearly last night as I watched a dance performance. When most people see it they see a dance perfomance and maybe can say they did a ju

This is one of the coolest posts I've ever seen on any forum. This flaming stuff and negative attitudes can get pretty old. It is refreshing to see FCP guys supporting each other and then making good on promises. Good job on making the final table zimmer. We should annouce final table appearances more often!

First of all, he had a chance to not call the reraise preflop (ooooooh sh1t, really?? :shock: ), and as most pros will tell you, if he was ready to put the rest of his chips in, he should have done it preflop instead of calling off half of his stack with such a weak hand.Pros would go all in before the flop with 56s? Where did u get this information? It was my understanding that pros hate to go all in preflop? I can see where the player was determined to make this his all in hand, but the best way to do that is not by going all in on preflop. First you find out where your opponent is at b

I have yet to play on pacific but I do have an account on Ultimate Bet. Ultimate has nice software and offers constant rebuy bonuses. With the rebuy bonuses, you can actually withdraw your money and then redeposit and get a bonus again. However, its not just given to you. You have to play to get it. Still, its not that hard to work off. The only thing I dont like from Ultimate Bet is the bet the pot button. You see, most fishes/rookies dont know how to bet a hand and many times they severely underbet a hand giving you great odds to call. With the bet the pot option, they can click that

I cant believe there are so many uninformed posters on this forum. He is still an accountant working for a restaurant business. He still lives in Tenessee and is not a "pro" or anything that even resembles a "pro". He has a website where he sells various items, he gets endorsement money from pokerstars and they pay for his world series fee. Pokerstars markets themselves as the site "Where poker players become World Champions". Moneymaker is a big part of that. In addition, he finished second in the Bay 101 WPT even in 2004 which was good for $200,000. I should also point out that on the

I have a question regarding SNG's. I only play (9 or 10 handed) SNG's and my main goal is to make the money. Obviously, the higher place the better but I often find that I am playing to make the money and not win. I am wondering if I should concentrate more on winning where the payout is greater but risk losing out of the money more often, or should I keep playing to make money even if that means limping into the money with no hope of placing better than 3rd.I've kept track over the last three days and here are my results:Site: PokerstarsBuy-in: 5+.50Game: 9-handed SNG'sTotal games: 15Cash

The best and (IMO) only way to beat these "crazy" players is to play a tight/aggressive style. Yeah, that means you are going to throw a lot of hands away. You will have to be patient. It will get boring and frustrating. That is the whole point of being a good player. You have the skill, patience and discipline the others dont. You have to keep in mind one very important and critical fact: Most players at the lower limits are not there to make money. They are playing to have fun...get a little rush. To them, making money is just a rare added bonus to the fun of playing poker. You are

Get ready to be flamed BIG time buddy!!!

Strange question for you guys:I am a low limit (2/4, 3/6, 4/8 and 6/12) holdem player. I have had a lot of succes at all these limits in live play but cant seem to beat them online.I find myself playing $5-$20 ten-handed SNG's online with pretty good success. So far, this is the only game i found that i can beat online.What games do you guys find easy to beat? What limit, site, etc...?
