as a million people would say, "that's poker."the good thing for DN is that his wynn/stacked/movie projects and promotions don't involve bad beats. when he shows up to put his name or face on a product, he cashes every time. in reality, that's probably a safer bet and he probably knows it.

Ok, I realize that 2/7 is the "people's choice". EVERYBODY knows about 2/7. But I want to see some math. I know the 2/3 can make straights. I know the 2/7 is fcking ugly, I'm just not convinced. what do you have against clubs?

foremost, i don't think it was the age issue that was the problem. it sounds like there was a cash transfer followed by an immediate cashout. maybe they had some reason to find that suspicious or it violated their TOS. who knows why they're doing it or if it's appropriate?next, as an attorney i agree that in general a lawsuit here won't help very much. he would probably get further by telling them that he is going to share his partypoker.com experience as far and wide as possible in online poker forums (such as this, and others) and that their reputation should be worth more to them than a few

thanks all for the tips and i mean that seriously. she's already at a point where she's pretty savvy on the fake money games, except for the kamakazes and sitter-outters in these tournaments. her goal is to get good enough to finish in the money at a 15-20 person live action tournament she goes to weekly--thus far my advice to her has been that she is way too tight and ends up in trouble at the final table when the blinds go up because she has not taken chances and/or the opportunities that come her way--she usually has 2-3x her original buyin from being super tight/aggressive (no, no pun inte

i believe it. so it does happen in RM games. i guess the way it works is when the blinds finally start to rack up, you automatically fold any raise on the BB and the SB goes away period.wowee! that's poker!

what about the sitting out question?
-
i just watched/helped a friend of mine play a 10-handed sit n go tournament at holdempoker.com with play money. she is trying to learn the game.what i saw was kind of asinine. the 4-5 morons who were just there for kicks would go all-in on the first few hands (one with a 3-2o), then get sent packing, leaving 5-6 people who seemed like they wanted to play and improve their skills even though it was fake money. a few of them were actually pretty decent players.however, when it was 5-handed, one person immediately sat out, having their blinds folded. eventually this person by virtue of not playin

in limit, it seems like a good move. the overcards also have the same odds as you do on an open ended straight draw (right? both they and you need either of two cards to improve the hand?), even though if you catch your card you'll beat any overpair, two pair, or set.
-
the only problem is if you know a player to your left might be provoked or re-raise heavily on a slow play. now your pots odds are going to be diminished heavily, so this is where it pays to keep an eye on people's reactions to the flop so you can guage the chances that someone caught something (a low set?) and is for some reason slow playing it.

It certainly doesn't help you if you acted before the one who acted out of turn. In fact, it hurts you because it gives any player sitting between you and the guy who acted out of turn an advantage of information which he shouldn't have and which you didn't have . If I'm UTG and I bet and then UTG+2 acts out of turn and throws his hand into the muck before UTG+1 has done anything, UTG+1 now has an unfair advantage of information to use in making his decision that I didn't have and that he's not technically entitled to. Anytime someone acts out of turn, someone at the table stands to unfairly

Yeah, dude. Log off the IM program if she won't leave you alone.my gf plays poker as well, but unlike me her goal is seemingly to lose when we go to tournaments. we were at this really nice guy's place up in the hollywood hills in a 32-person tournament. i'd done a nice job of making the final table completely under the radar--it was our first time playing with these people.my gf had busted out about an hour earlier and proceeded to get trashed and start hassling me while i'm playing to get into the money at this table, which would have been between 500-1000 for first and second. so in addit

sportsmanship?this is poker, not tennis, golf, or fox hunting. if you want sportsmanship, join a rec hockey league or coach little league.i think of poker as a bloodless fight club. there are rules, but if someone doesn't want to talk about a hand, stay in, or in some other way makes their own choice with their own BR, i respect it.

that's awesome. -
here's my brief list:1. card/chip hiders and movers: keep your cards and chips on the table, in sight, at all times.2. unaware players: others have commented on this, but it also drives me nuts when someone has to keep asking what the chips are worth 2 hours into the game. you're here playing for real money. those chips are real money. figure out and remember what they're worth or don't bother showing up. (this category also covers the actors-out-of-turn, the ones who need reminders about the blinds, and the ones who don't know they're UTG...)3. drama queens: people who call with comments like

to expand on this, i've built a tight/aggressive reputation at one of the regular home tournaments i play. when i raise someone or go all in, they believe i have something.in one hand last week i flopped a nut flush, checked through to the turn where i bet minimum and was only called, and then on the river finally got my weak lead raised. i raised the other player all in (i had him covered maybe 4-1) after pausing and trying to act like i was really thinking about his raise and trying to figure out what he had, staring at the board, grimacing, and checking and rechecking my hand (KsQs with As

no, i'm quite sure you won't feel bad about what you did, and that's your problem, not mine. as many others have pointed out, you should just count yourself lucky that you got back to your car in one piece.
-
i know and i agree.i'm saying that if you have the nuts there's at least one more honorable way to play it and still maybe get paid. why not check through, talk some trash, or try the weak lead as opposed to checking out of turn on purpose?i think what the o.p. did was pretty slimy as well.

i saw a guy play quad-jacks in a similar situation at a house tournament last weekend. he flopped the quads and had to get paid through both the turn and the river.after the flop he looked over at the two guys left in the hand and said something like, "heck (not the real word-Ed.), i know neither of you two guys has it so i bet $xx."he was so flippant but also sounded so unconvincing that they both called him. the turn came up a nine or something, and he basically did it again, getting one of the two guys to fold this time with just the minimum bet.you'd think these weak leads would have set a
