Tuan Le is beating the high limit games in Vegas and has enough talent to be tutored by Greenstein, that's what earns my respect. If I only judge people by final table play then I would think most pros are retarded at one point or another.

If you've never beaten 1/2 limit how did you get together 2k in poker winnings? Stop playing 4 tables, you get sloppy that way no matter how good you think you are. Get poker tracker and go over the hands you are losing money in, find your leak. Everyone thinks they are good, don't be too proud to be proven wrong by math.

I think you played the first hand fine. There's no way you put the other guy on a 9, and he didn't play much like a big over pair. I'd bet however much you think the other guy will call with either a small piece of the board or a possible high card.

Talk about coming over the top.

Why do people do this? Do they just hate themselves?

Wow, which internet do you play on?

This is the worst you have to deal with? Is there any any regular player who doesn't see this 8 times a day?

I'm a hobby player who turned serious for about 2 months during the summer because I had no other source of income. I grinded $100 into about $3100, mostly from NL and Sngs, but now I'm pretty much strictly a low limit player an earning about 2.2bb/100 over the last 27k hands. The thing is that now school started back up, I'm taking a ton of credits and have a design project with a local company taking up 15-20 hrs a week. I don't have time to grind anything and I had to take half my BR recently to pay expenses. Frankly, I'm not sure if I want to take my left over br (about 1800) and start

I actually wish I could do the Empire rackback with Jayson and co. I already had money accounts on Empire and PP before hearing about rakeback, and I don'r really want to play Eurobet. I did try Intertops but apparently you can't sign up with them if you live in New Jersey. I thought that was pretty hilarious,

It looks like Russel Crowe because it's so heavily photoshopped it stopped looking like DN. Any realistic picture would look like Edward Nortan and nobody else.

I thought it was a rather loose call as well, but I don't play the shorthanded tables so maybe people there reraise with crap like Ax? Do low pairs usually have any showdown value at the shorthanded tables?Way I see it, I'm playing for the set, which will only hit 1 out of 10. I'd need the final pot to be at least $100 to make it worth coldcalling a raise/reraise. And if I'm getting that much action on my set I'm usually against a higher set or a 5 card hand. Of course, that's my ring game mentality and probably doesn't apply to 6 max.

Online NL players are mostly idiots. Yea.

I think it depends. Main event bracelets are worth significantly more than other events, and if the owner is someone like Doyle, Unger, Amarello Slim, I would imagine the price would skyrocket.

Log it, get screenshots, or you got nothing.

It is extremely stupid to consider only buying in for $50.....unless you plan to test the Smash strategy live. At most live casinos a standard preflop raise at 1/2 can reach $15, so buying in for anything less than $100+ is pointless because even your all in prices in draws. Casino NL tables are idiot central and you want to maximize your edge against them. If you play up to 5-10 limit how can you not be comfortable with risking $200?

At the NL tables, pretty easy.

Kathy acts like the fat chick who got invited to the cool party......which is pretty much the case.

I saw a variation of Smash's strategy at AC last weekend. Someone guy limped with 2 10, flopped trip 2s and checked, turns the quads and went all in with his $300 stack into a $15 pot. Of course one Hellmuth wannabe calls with A high and guy who went all in thinks he made the play of the year.

If online 2/4 was as easy to beat as live 2/4 lots more people would be considering turn pro. People coldcall absolutely everything, dead money everywhere. People wait two hours to see AK and won't fold no matter what the board is when they get it. I'm actually looser live because I'm seeing less hands and I can concentrate on the players since I'm not doing 4 tables. However, online is the only place I've seen where people blatantly come to give money away. Mike Matesow is right, online you see people calling huge bets when they can literally only beat 7 high. I've still yet to see that l

They are probably special ordered, and if you really like them they probably sell them at the casino gift store.

Playing at Tropicana on Saturday, this 80 year old guy rolls into my limit game on a wheelchair. Apparently he is some kind of super regular as he knows all the dealers by name and got greetings from a couple of other players at other tables.I should have switched tables right then as he slowed the game down to an absolute crawl. The guy was deaf and was slipping in and out of a coma at the table. He literally had to be waken up on every street and reminded that he was in the hand, at which point it would take him a minute recheck his cards again and another minute to pick up his chips. One h

Good lord, at least use poker to go meet some people on campus. I've played more poker than I like to admit on weekend nights at college but at least I've met tons of people doing it. $10 or $30 is not really enough to play anything, and you should not be frustrated if you cripple your roll by losing 5-6 SNGs in a row. The luck factor is high, especially if the SNG structure at your site is not that great. Improving your game at the superlow buyin tournies are NOT worth the tradeoff of your time in college, both in terms of money and skill. Take half of the time you spend playing and either u

You sure it's the same guy? Chubby white guys with hickish facial hair (from what I remember when I saw the J high video) are pretty much a dime a dozen in the poker world. I had like 3 of them at my table yesterday.

Yea, with that information he could be pulling the move with a variety of hands worse than yours. All in.

How much does the other guy have? Are there any limpers? What position is the other guy raising from? Is your stack considered a shortstack at the table? How much longer until blind go up again?Seriously, those are all huge factors in deciding what to do.
