For the past six months I have begun playing 1+.10 sng's on ultimate bet. I have noticed that if I shut off the TV and really try to concentrate I actually do worse than when I watch TV surf the net and play a sng. Has anyone else had that happen to them. Maybe it's just luck but I believe that winning a 1 dollar sng is mostly luck anyway. Thoughts.Orville

Got it for Christmas two years ago. Had it read the same day. Not really about poker strategy. It's more about the life of being a pro and the pitfalls that can get you in trouble. It does have some sample hands, but it is more of a coffee table bookOrvilleIt's an excellent book but with virtually zero strategy type content. It's more about a poker mindset and what the life of a pro is like. -
unlike most players on this site I am only able to play .01/.02 NL on UB. I have a very small bankroll and plan on grinding it out and moving up levels. I will never be able to do this for a living, but my goal is to work up to winning a couple of hundred dollars or so a month. I bought PT and now have just over 10,000 hands in my database. My BB/100 Hands is 5.14. I would like it to be higher but at the micro levels I have to play I find that you really have to play tight. No bluffing for the most part as no one folds anyway. I figure that most of my sessions are winners but I would like to get my BB/100 to about 10 at this level. Ok that's enough rambling. Later

Works great. Downloads directly to your computer. You actually buy a key code for it. You can email the folks at Poker Tracker and they will send you another key code for a second computer for free. I assume if you want to put it on more than two computers you would have to buy it again.Orville

I tried to search for what I was looking for but could not find it. If someone knows of a link to what I'm looking for please tell. If this duplicates someone else's post just have a mod. delete it.My question is this: With the World Series of Poker Main Event becoming so large, will some of the "big name" pros just skip it because it has gotten so big? In Bluff magazine Doyle Brunson said that he doubted that a big name pro could win the main event. He went on to say that when he sits down at a table people will say "Well, I know you have me beat, but I just want to break the legend." I think some of the people get into pots with pros just so they can say that they busted so and so(insert name pro) or that so and so(insert name pro) busted them. With this kind of thinking some of the pros(Phil Ivey) might be better of playing the side games instead of entering the Main Event.I am not saying they should raise the buy-in, I just had this random thought in my head. Now it is out and will stop bothering me.ThanksOrville

Are there any poker programs that will keep live stats for tournament play? I am currently using Poker Tracker on UB. It keeps live stats for ring games with game time plus but unless I can't figure it out, you have to manually put in the stats for tournaments. Am I missing something, or do I need a different program?Thanks, Orville

First of all, the deck should remain on the table at all times. I really like this advice. If he is your "friend" then he will get your "hint" and stop doing what he is doing. If he does not, then he is not y0ur friend no matter what you think. None, and I mean none of your advice to keep the deck on the table will suffice. I think if a "friend" cheats you then that person is not really your friend and should have his nut cut off with a blunt knife.OrvilleWell, if you're trying not to get his ass kicked, just simply looking him straight in the eyes and giving him a friendly reminder to keep the deck on the table at all times could have sufficed. -
That might be the most idiotic thing I've ever read. I have a low bankroll and I know quite a bit about poker. Just because someone can only afford to play micro to low limits does not mean they are not smart with no knowledge of poker. Not everyone is out to make vast amounts of money playing online. I can only afford to play at micro limits right now as I also have a family to take care of.Maybe the pro's at FT should have a regular chat time so they don't have to worry about chatting while they play. Maybe only people that are actually playing should be allowed to chat. If you let one person chat who is not playing in the game you pretty much have to let everyone chat otherwise you are discriminating. Everyone that is playing on FT takes the same risks with their money, so everyone should be afforded the same rights.Thanks Orvillei actually think thats a good idea. i see so many retards say things that should just not be allowed...usually people with low bankrolls with no knowledge of poker. -
You thought you were being helpful by telling me I'm not very bright and using profanity. Yes that is helpful. Now I can take my stupid ass over to the oven stick my not so bright head inside light the match and as you said so eloquently "shut the **** up."I bow down to the smartest person in this forum.
So you have a 53 minute lag in your connection. Holy hell! That's awful even for dial up! Besides, it's not just that thread. There are a ton of these. All you have to do is go back a few pages. They're everywhere. Also, I was being helpful. I let you know that there was another thread exactly like the one you were posting. Yours truly,The poster that pwns you
It's obvious that when I posted my thread the other thread did not show up on my screen or I would have simply read that. If all you can do is try to insult people, simply do not post. If you can't offer anything to the post simply don't respond to it. It is that simple.Yours trulyOrville
You started your thread at 8:17. The thread entitled, "Monitors for Multi-Tabling" was started at 7:24. Shut the fuck up.
That post was not available when I posted mine. If you can't post anything constructive then don't post douchclown
It's ok. You aren't very bright so I won't flame you. Look down on the page about three posts. Maybe you could look at that thread. Just a thought.Can anyone tell me what size monitor is the best for multi-tabling? What is the best screen resolution? For higher resolution, do I need a better video card than the one that came with the computer?Thanks Orville -

Has anyone read Phil Gordon's new book or seen his DVD? Are either of them any good?Thanks Orville

I hate when you have to explain to someone that they don't need to fold they can just check. I know I shouldn't complain if someone wants to fold their cards when everyone else might check, but I hate when that same person then says "I would have won if I stayed"I also hate messy tables. I am a chip wrangler. I like the chips to be put in the middle after a round of betting. I think this makes it less confusing when people bet, raise, re-raise, and check-raise. Of course I might just be really anal.OrvilleI have a few...what are yours?A) When the hand is over and the idiot that had the button in front of him doesn't move the button on.C) When somebody forgets to post their blind...and you have to remind them....Am I mental? But all of these things censored me off. -
It was on the ESPN Poker Club page. I tried to find it but can't get the page to load. I will keep tryingOrvilleI think it was ESPN.com, I don't have a link though. It was posted on here though, so you can do a search and try and find it -
15-20 playersCheck out the Tourney forum under strategy. There is a thread stickied at the top with a tourney structure.Thanks for the tip I forget to check that out.Orvillehow many players?? -
I really enjoy some of the avatars on this site. My question is, how can I make my own avatars especially the animated ones?Thanks Orville

I am running a home tournament and am wondering what the starting chip count should be. I am thinking of starting everyone with 1000 in chips. Blinds would start at 25-25 and go up every 30 minutes. Should the starting chip count be higher. I am looking to get done in about 5 hours.ThanksOrville

I really agree with that. Play money really teaches you how to be patient, because you know if you start playing poorly someone will suck out on the river. I personally think micro limits and play money involve the same strategy. Play tight and let the other players hang themselves.OrvilleI still play the play money tournies on Pokerstars occassionally. I feel it helps me be patient when I am playing for real. Plus, I made a lot of friends when I just did play money and I like to keep up with them.Other than that I don't find play money very useful. -
From ESPN's poker chat this past SeptemberDavid (Washington DC): Do you think it is useful to play online with play money, or does that keep the style of play from being realistic? Scott Fischman: I think that play money is useful for learning hand values, but thats it. Learning how the actual game works and learning how often 2 pair is good, for example, to kind of get a feel for how good your hands are. You cant really get a competitive feel and competition is important. Discuss: Is it at all useful to play online with play money.Orville

Yeah, I don't mind limping with AA, but sometimes you got to say "What the frick" and bet to protect.OrvilleThat's what ya get for limping sometimes....ouch lol. -
This is kind of an off shoot of the least/favorite hands thread. What are your top ten starting hands?Mine are:1. AA2. KK3. A-K suited4. A-K off suit5. QQ(yeah I know I'll take some heat on that one)6. JJ7. A-Q off suit8. KQ suited9. Ax suited10. AQ suited(even though poker tracker says I'm losing money on it)This is a list of favorite starting hands, not necessarily the top ten starting hands.Thanks for the reply.Orville

LOLI tried that once but mine is to small so I had to flop my entire body on the table. Needless to say, no one was pleasedOrvilleI usually just whip out my ginormous schlong and set it over my cards. Needless to say, everyone else is pretty intimidated. -
Finally got this to download. It seems pretty cool.How does everyone go about consolidating tables. I plan on having 2 tables of 10 each. When do I move people around to keep the tables relatively even. Last time one table had 4 while the other table had 8. I was not sure if I should move a couple off the table of 8 and put them on the table of 4. I then was not sure of whom to move. Any ideas?Orvillewww.thetournamentdirector.nethas a blind timer, percentage payout calculator, etc. good program
