That's why Doyle, Chip, Johnny, Daniel, Barry plays something similar to HORSE in the Big Game...Horse by definition means the game switches every certain amount of time or rounds. Suppose fulltilt put up a "horse table" where the game switched every 15 minutes, this wouldn't make any sense, because people are always jumping in and out. The Big Game is different because its a fairly fixed group of people, and they played for hours and hours, so switching the game every round or so is feasible since people dont leave or rejoin all the time.Good point.

Blackjack is and will always be -EV

That is pretty ridiculous.I uh...I...I sensed weakness. YEAH! That's it....no, wait....I uh, had a feeling. No, I was trying to make a play, that's it. Doyle said that the key to no limit was to put a man to a decision for all his chips, so, uh...yeah. I'm good.I understand maybe making that play on the button, trying to steal the blinds, but UTG??? it was still about 3 -4 hours away from making the money, what's the point of bluffing most of your stack like that?

I actually hate donkeys, can you explain this play that busted me?PokerStars Game #2941925894: Tournament #14413763, Hold'em No Limit - Level V (75/150) - 2005/10/31 - 20:51:21 (ET)Table '14413763 4' Seat #3 is the buttonSeat 2: nilka (13524 in chips) Seat 3: Ace1177 (10705 in chips) Seat 4: JaredsBack (18870 in chips) Seat 5: Amélie (8935 in chips) Seat 6: mortonator (10308 in chips) Seat 7: jrrrrrofohio (19075 in chips) Seat 8: beava456 (8945 in chips) Seat 9: plumberpat (6995 in chips) JaredsBack: posts small blind 75Amélie: posts big blind 150*** HOLE CARDS ***Dealt to Amélie [Ks Kh]morton

1) When the flop comes 3 of the same suit, someone rechecking their cards and then making a call most probably means they are on a flush draw. By the way, never do this, always make sure you remember your cards BEFORE the flop comes.2) Heavy breathing when they go all-in. Most of the time, if you someone has the nuts, the look relaxed and their breathing is normal. There are exceptions of course.

If they don't start it at this time, it would not end until tomorrow when the sun comes up.

It started 10 min ago. Good luck to you all.

My 5th try on these events. I'll be very pissed if I still can't cash today. Who else is in it?SN: Amélie

Minimun raises are inexcusable. Every time I see someone do this i'm thinking "donkey". I understand doing it headsup when the blinds are high. But in a 5-handed table it will accomplish nothing except building a big pot you won't be able to get away from. Most people with Ax will call that raise, especially the blinds, then what are you going to do when an A flops?

I'm out... gosh i hate people overbetting their draws on the turn.

I'm in!!!!! I'm 0 for 3 on these. I want revenge. SN: Amélie

It's already dumb enough to think like you do, but to actually post it here? Humanity is doomed.

Yeah, he was wearing the rings and the 2003 World Poker Open main event bracelet. Actually, he was very polite and wasn't condescending at all.

yes but he impressed his hot date, as well as all of the other players at the table, which is more important to him than a measly $200 I suspect.Exactly

So last night I was playing the $200 NL at the Bicycle Casino and around 2am I see David "Devilfish" Ulliot walk into the casino with this hottie and they decide to take the 2 empty seats on my table, which already had NBA journeyman center Olden Polynice playing in it too.Anyhooters, Devilfish's table presence is tremendous and I did get to see how in a totally difference level the real pros are. In one hand he flops a set of 3's and on the river, with a board of 3 5 6 A T with no flush possibilities, he bets $100 into a $200 pot, and while the other 2 players in the pot are thinking about ca

I'm out too. Limped with AJ from MP, 4-way pot. Flop: A K 5, 2 clubs, i bet close to pot size, guy behind me calls, i put him on a flush draw, BB calls too. Turn is another 5, no club, i bet 1400 leaving me with 1700, guy behind calls again, BB goes all-in, I call because i don't have many chips left, plus I figure no one hit a set because of the two 5s out there, and AA or KK or even AK would have raised before the flop when there was 3 limpers. So even if someone had AQ, we would just chop the pot. Sure enough, BB had AK.Played 3 of these, haven't cashed once, sad....

Queens full i guess?

I'm going for the revenge too!! SN: Amélie

I'm out. Had close to 10K, lost a 12k pot with AKs to QQ, then lost a flopped set to runner runner straight, and finally JJ vs KK.

Chip count is 8k right now, had only 1 good hand so far: AK and doubled up when i was down to 3500
