yo, i was up all night on cardplayer audio, and then fell asleep on my couch at like 7:00 mountain time, and then i find out that Jo won at like 7:30, not cool, he seems like a cool guy, much better than another fool in a pstars shirt

lol i forgot about that, and i think fishman had 1K at one point and came back to get an average stack by the end of yesterday, so we'll have to see what negraunu can does :-)hey thats how Raymer looked yesterday sitting down at the feature table with only 2500 and stormed back and was second in chips for a while. It can happen with a solid player playing solid poker. Have faith. -
Its good to believe, but can we be a little realistic, the man has had a bad WSOP, and being down to 3K at the feature table with aggresive Farha sitting on 40K is the kind of scenario where its time to just think about the 2006 WSOP
-
ya i read that thing on poker trails too, and started laughing, but then realized that i had mixed up farha and negrauanu and that shut me up

dam thats alot, more than most 40 year old players have seen, i see you post here alot and i dont think your lieing, but how does a 16 year old have that big a bankroll, how much did u start with, i just put in 70 dollars into full tilt one day and now i have it up to 150 but that took me like 3 months....Congrats from a fellow 16 year old playing poker. My biggest pot was at a 2/4 NL table, both me and my opponent had about $800. I had AA on a board of AK5. Loads of betting and raising, finally he went all in and I called. He had KK. Turn and river gave him no help and I won a $1650 pot. -
Dam, that sounded pretty cool. it would have sucked if and ace came on the turn or river, but then i assume you would have hit Bad Beat Jackpot
nice save.I guess my biggest pot wasn't technically a pot.playing a $10/$20 limit game. I have quads. straight flush not possible.I'm holding J'sboard reads A J J x xwe get heads up, no cap we start raising back and forth. I told the guy "I'll raise all night."He responds "kid, stop while you're ahead. I'd bet you five grand you can't win this hand."I looked around the table and asked the dealer "freeze the table?" all agreed.I stepped out to my car, returned and layed my money on the table.He asked the guy running the game if his credit was good. The house said it was. He flips Aces.I won $5,300 and change.oh it was the ace of hearts on the flop and the opponent with jacks full of aces had the ace of spades, the guy with the nut flush had a heart flush using the king of hearts since the ace of hearts was already on the flop -
oh it was the ace of hearts on the flop and the opponent with jacks full of aces had the ace of spades, the guy with the nut flush had a heart flush using the king of hearts since the ace of hearts was already on the flopcongrats on the win but it seems as though this deck might have had five aces, you have two aces, a ace on the flop, the player with jacks full of aces had to have one ace, and to have the nut flush there the third player would have to have an ace also totaling 5 aces. sorry for nitpicking im just bored, congrats on the win, my biggest pot in a cash game was prolly when i won about a 300 dollar pot in nl when i went allin preflop with someone else with my aces vs. their kings. -
first off let me just say that before anyone flames me for this, keep in mind i am only 16 years old and work at a Wendy's fast food joint, so this is kinda a big deal for me.I started playing poker like 1.5 years ago after getting hooked watchin WPT and WSOP. I play holdem live with some friends like every 2nd week and play online(yes i know its illegal at 16 years old) well like everyone else i started playing holdem but got bored just playing hold em just that so i started playing other games, and after a while i read mike capplettii's book on omaha H/L split, and started playing that.I like the pot limit kind and was playing on full tilt, before that i was playing sit'n'go's and busted on the bubble in 3 straight ones, and in 2 i actually had a chip lead but started having the cards spit in my face, and when i did find a hand, i was either rivered or it was a major cold deck, but i wasn't too ticked off, and i went to a 25 dollar buyin pot limit omaha H/L gameThe very first hand i see is A
2 A 
4 and with 3 limpers i raise the pot, hoping to build a big pot. They all call and the flop is A 
5 9 : , one guy bets minimuim other 1 calls and i raise the pot, and get 2 callers, turn is J once again, bet, call, raise the pot, call, call. River is J and now i go crazy and push all in and amazingly get 2 callers, one has jacks full of aces and the other has the nut flush, my aces full house takes it and nets me the bigest pot of my life: 8) $68.50 and suddenly losing 3 sit'n'gos doesn't matter much, anyone else have a great poker moment that erases an otherwise terrible poker session? -
thanks, dam, i thought with the starting chip lead he would get at least 2nd :cry:
-
can someone do me a huge favor and tell me who won the wpt championchip, im too cheap for cable and i am a big hasan habib fan(cause i am brown)
-
probably the winner of the tourney, i think if you count, like at least a third of us are canuck
How about the highest finish by a Canuck?does a guy who lives in calgary but was born, and raised in Toronto count, my pic on pstars should show i am i torontonian for life -
does a guy who lives in calgary but was born, and raised in Toronto count, my pic on pstars should show i am i torontonian for lifeGood luck to everyone. I've got a challenge out to all Toronto players to see who will finish highest. -

hells ya, would suck, having 40+ ppl and only paying 5 spotscoooooooooome on 46!! -
just registered, GOLEAFS/06 hoping some cards go my way since alot of people at this forum are really good
-
i might play, if there are more than 27 entrants(cause i really hate when a tourney has like 24 ppl and only pays 3 places), but i just wanna ask, is the competition in these tourney's really fierce, i am asking because the best i have done is won a few 9 player sit'n'go's and came 3rd or 4th in 45 player sit'n'goes(the 6 dollar turbo ones, not the cheap a$$ 1 dollar ones), my name on pstars is GOLEAFS/06(ya i know, there is no hockey, i get that at every cencored table i sit down at lol), any way, may see u guys there
-
alright this is pretty oldschool, anyone see the clip of the.... 1988 WSOP Main event... i think, final 2, Johny Chan and Erik Seidel, Chan has J 9, Seidel has Q 7, Flop comes Q 10 8, Chan is first, rolls his eyes or something like that, sighs, and checks, Seidel smells weakness and pushes all-in, chan smooth calls, with style and flips over the nuts, that hold up, like they souldthat was pretty amazing, i did the same thing at a $25 no limit table on Pstars, exept opponent had a set of Queens, thank god the board didn't pair
-
aces are only good for winning small pots and losing huge ones

here is an interesting query2005 WSOP Championchip: Buy-in is $10000, # of people that qualified on PokerStars: 900+2005 WPT Championchip: Buy-in is $25000, # of people that qualified on PokerStars: 11Raising the buy-in would help alot!!!

that is pretty sweet, to0 bad the pot was only 12$, still, pretty good for a 50c-1d table, i am still waiting on my first royal, had an opponent make a runner-runner one on me a while back, highest i ever had was a 10 high straight fluse in clubs playing omaha on pstars, lol i opponent had an ace high flush and one had a king high flush, that deck was pretty cold. won like 25 which is good for 1d-2d
-
Been playing 2 years ya, and i think i made the right decision, if i had called and lost i would have had 16 chips left and would have to post 4 for big blind next hand and even if i went all-in before i get blinded out, since only top 2 get money, both would call me and check to the river to increase to odds of knocking me out, its what me and my friends always do in these situations but even though i got bashed a little on this tread, i don't really care, its just a poker forum, and thanks for the feed back, good or bad
-
lol i wish i had now, but what would u do with that full house, i think the majority of players would have gone all in , and even if i had called and lost i probably would have been gone soon anyway with only like 20 chips left and blinds on 2/4. But thanks all for the feedback :-)y push all in ur only goin to get called by one of the hands u fear. just call lose less. -
I am only 16, but have played poker seriously for 2 years, i have read Super/System, Theory of Poker and all the other books people who want to improve their game read, and I do quite well in my home games and in the $1/$2 games online(shhhh about the underage gamling)Well yesterday i was playing in a 4 man home tourney, 20 dollar buy in where 2nd gets 20 and 1st gets 60, and we are down to 3 players after 20 minutes, we had 50 chips to start with bilinds of 1/2 and now i have 64 chips, opponent 1 has 72 chips and opponent 2 also has 64 chips, with blinds of 2/4. I get the button, and this is how the hand went:I get dealt A
10 and make a minimum raise, and both opponents callThe flop is amazing, A A 10 , and i relax, knowing both opponents are probably drawing dead, opponent 1 makes a 5 chip bet, opponent 2 calls, and i hesitate and make the "difficult call". The turn is the K , so I don't have the mortal nuts anymore. Opponent 1 bets 10 chips, opponent 2 calls and i show no emotion as i raise it to 25. Opponent 1 calls, and to my amazment, opponent 2 folds his small flush face up. I remain emotionless as the river card falls, the Q . Suddenly I am scared, the jack of diamonds will make a royal flush, and an AQ or Big Slick will beat me, i start to get worried. My opponent bets 10, and I stare him down, and i think there is no way he called my raise on the turn with an inside draw, but maybe he did have a flush also on the turn, with the jack of diamonds, or he has AQ or big slick. This player is not afraid to bluff and can be very aggressive with rags at times. I finally decide to push all in and he calls.I flip over my full boat and annonce " Aces full" and get some major "oooooohhhs" and " buuurrrnnnss" :shock: (after all, we are just teenagers). My opponent simply smiles and flips over the jack of diamonds to make his royal flush, and gets even more oooohhhhhhhhs and ahhhhhhhsss. I am crushed and go outside to get some air, this was terrible, and even though good players put stuff like this behind them, losing in such a way destroyed me. I lost the next 2 touneys in first, still steaming after that beat. I think i could play poker they next 50 years and still not get a beat sooo immprobable. I checked a poker calcullator and found out after the flop. my opponent was 999-1 of winning the hand and i know the deck was clean cause i shuffled and there hadn't been i diamond flush for a while so it wasn't due to impropper shuffling, well thats my story, anyone had a worst beat
wsop2--5 winner is a cheapskate!

its his money, let him do what he want, but there is one thing we can all agree on, if andrew black won, the dealers would all be hooked up.
