What if I had a higher flush draw? What if I had pocket 10s and he was drawing dead?I still think it is a bad call, and I think the push is essential there to try to pick up the pot without any more cards being dealt.

I'm the 6-6 guy. While I wasn't happy that I had a caller, the board fell down with two blanks and I took down the pot. He had about 150 chips left and I won the tournament on the next hand. Why shouldn't I push? If I know I'm ahead, and given my read I absolutely knew he missed that board completely, shouldn't I want to overbet the pot and take it down right there?I was surprised that he called, because I didn't even think about a flush draw on that 10-3-3 board. . . If he has a flush draw, why would I want to bett 600, essentially pricing him in to call or re-raise me, forcing ME to make a

Guys,Just finished a relatively high-stakes tournament, it was me against a good friend, and we're having a typical arguement about who misplayed the final hand. We're both nearly even in chips with about 2,000 each. Blinds are 100-200. It went down like this:Player A: 9h JhPlayer B: 6h 6sPlayer B is button (SB = 100), raises to 450. Player A calls.Flop comes 10h 3h 3sPlayer A checksPlayer B pushes all in for about 1,500 morePlayer A callsNot going to tell how this played out just yet, or which player I was. . Just hoping for some feedback, what do you guys think?

count me incould we all paypal to someone or something? No way we're all on the same sites to transfer $$

Sorry. I was drunk again when I made that post. As I am now.Looking back, I don't think I'd *want* a call there, but I certainly wouldn't mind it. At the time I think I wanted it because I was drunk and it would've been some awesome glory to rake in a $1000 pot with a bunch of onlookers, but looking back I really was pretty indifferent. I could care less if he called or not, which made his 10 minute decision pretty unpainful for me.

Hah.How did I misplay the hand?With 3 players that obviously had (a) a high spade (B) an overpair © both?Going all in there, I would either take down a nice sized pot right there, or get all of my money in as a huge favorite.I love how people are so arrogant about the right and wrong way to play a hand. There are a million different scenarios with a million different variables. You have no idea if you weren't there. You have to consider my table image, how drunk / stupid everyone was, what kind of call someone is capable of making. . .

Before this weekend, I haven't played any serious poker in about six months. Not for any reason in particular, I've just been busy and it hasn't been a priority. I've played small stakes tournaments with friends and blown a few bucks online, but nothing serious.I was on the road for work in Edmonton this weekend, we landed at about 11pm (1am my time) and had a few drinks with co-workers before getting back to the hotel. It was about 1:30 and I was exhausted, but there was a casino RIGHT across the street and I was only in town for two days. The second night I had plans to be out all evening,

17th . . . i stole a lot of pots and got back up to about 90Kbad hand to pretty much end it.. guy raised me 3x BB with JQ and i defended with K8. i bet the flop when i hit the 8 and he pushed me and then I was like "shit howd that happen" pretty much had to calldammit.it was really the deuces hand that killed me though

thanks bro

yeah i changed gears i thinki cant believe that guy called me with deuces

Q-9 The turn really scared me and thats why I didn't push I guess. I definately misplayed that. He was calling no matter what with the overcards and the flush draw.

i suck at poker. and life. sue mehow do i handle super aggressive now-chip-leader 3 to my left

sweet.. what quote??

'jasonmason' on pokerstars $1 tourney wooothe 2nd chip guy just got moved to my table and hes been super aggressive so I've been playing scared and staying out of his way.. any advice appreciated

yuh ohtampa bay scares me so I wanted to get them in against an easy opponent, i really shouldn't have picked them with back-to-back but they CAN'T lose to Washington, can they?the caps suck

lolmaybe the guy thought he had a straight or something

Cool - I just bought that book, I think with that and some paying attention of the non holdem games, I'll be set..Miler I couldn't find any employment section of the WSOP website

Miler that is very cool. Do you know who I should contact regarding locking up an audition or a spot for the Series?I would definately go to one of the schools in AC over the winter to prepare for it. I can totally see how the players would rip apart the dealers as I've played in clubs before and seen it. I probably have a handful of things to learn about the non-holdem games but I really feel like I'd be a natural fit.

I heard the same thing - That the dealers were pretty weak. That's why I think it's feasable.. But did Harrah's train these guys or did they have to learn on their own?

I have a very good friend that has decided to move out to Vegas for law school - He's looking at houses right now and he pretty much invited me to spend the summer there while he gets settled in.I love poker and being at the table but I can't seem to bring my 'A' game all the time and the game will have to always be a hobby for me. If I'm going to be spending the summer in Vegas though, I need to make some cash somehow. And I love being at the table, so why not become a dealer? I'm 'that guy' at our home game, that everyone looks at to correct players and count out chips during all-ins, etc. I
