HatTrick

Why didn't you just double up your money before taking some out to buy the present?

That is a great quote. If only it weren't so true....

I look forward to the day that I can play at a table full of bots that communicate their hold cards to any player they believe is a fellow bot. A chance to truly test the Fundamental Theorem of Poker.

Apparently many of you do.You don't need luck if you have skill, except of course in Poker where as you need both.I assume that you are/were very successful at it! I only say were not knowing whether or not it is still your primary vocation.Can we safely assume that it was never your primary vocation?

You are correct, it is very surprising. The Leafs are probably the only team in the league that could have raised their ticket prices by 10-25 % and still sell out every game.And then there are the weak markets like Atlanta and Washington where they kept the same pre-lockout prices. I think Toronto did it as a way of apologizing. Atlanta and Washington can afford not to because if it results in lower attendance and lower revenue, they'll just get more Maple Leaf money via revenue.

Your post count plus one would be a good threshold.

econ_tim beat me to it

We read on the internet what he wrote on the internet. Feel free to go back in time via Google Groups and see what Dutch himself was telling everyone. People say many things about Dutch -- but when they call him a liar, they are right.

Finally someone who realizes that poker is all about cheating. When y0u get bluffed, you should take your losses like a man. When Dutch was making up stories about not receiving cashout requests and the system being reworked, the smart players knew they were being lied to. It's survival of the fittest.

I think Mike Caro originated that term. I think Carson did what he often does -- he 'borrowed' it.

"Stacked" will be available for the PSP.http://psp.ign.com/objects/725/725343.html Argh! I misread that as saying: "'Stacked' will be available for the RPS.""Stiacked" for Rock-Paper-Scissors....now there's an idea whose time has come.

To quote Barbie: "Math is hard!"

Can you imagine all the fish who think it's no different than flipping coins. Oh....that would be beautiful.

YOU DONT HAVE A SOULHaving a soul is -EV.

Marcel=Esa Tikkanen of Poker. Both camoflauge their play with intentionally wacky behavior.

He staked Tuan's original WPT entry to the tourney he won. It carries over.

Taking this spot to avoid the tired joke.

Exactly. Sometimes there are even different rules within one card room depending upon who is working that day. This angle is special, though. It gets a mention in both Robert's Rules as well as the WSOP rules (and many other places, I'm sure). That's the biggest reason why I feel the OP should've lost the pot. Rulings that encourage angle shooting are bad for the game. Even if the OP wasn't angle shooting, ruling in his favor had the effect of encouraging it.

Send 'em here.

He clearly miscalled his hand. The hand he called was not the one shown. Perhaps the non-standard rules where you deal is part of the source of our disagreement. In most places the caller doesn't need to disclose his cards first.

He was called down. Read the original post.

The element you are not giving proper weight to is that player A mucked his cards in response to player B miscalling his own hand.

Roshambo.

except that is considered angle shooting. the only place it has specifically happened to me was in Seattle. i don't know where you guys are talking aboutYou are absolutely correct. It IS considered angle shooting (if he didn't actually have the king).But the answer to the OP's question still remains the sae. :wink:So if you were dealing and the OP flipped over 7-2 after announcing he had a King, you'd still push the pot his way?

The caller mucked based on the OP announcing his hand. If the OP says "I have Kings," the caller mucks, and then the OP turns up 10-3, the pot goes to the caller. The situation isn't any different if he doesn't turn his hand face up -- he still loses the pot.
