Okay? I'm guessing this is to get a rise out of people, so you'll probably get what you want.

Some of the places I've played will make the bet binding. In the main place I play, if you act out of turn, you are not allowed to initiate action. IOW, if you try to bet out of turn, you cannot bet if it is checked to you. I think you might be able to raise if it is bet to you, though.

Without knowing the nature of the method your company is using to block this connection (I wouldn't post this information if I were you anyway, that definitely COULD result in termination), it's hard to say how to fix it. If you really need it, something like gotomypc would let you get to your home pc, and I think they have a free single-computer thing. It tunnels over http, so it should work.

It's something like $7 or $10 a player per half hour, but it gets taken from the winner of the first pot (called a "time pot").One of the reasons that they spread mixed games at those limits is that not everyone excels at every game. Also, emotional control is one of the things that contributes to the wins/losses of the players in that game. If you start chasing after pots when you are stuck, you can quickly get down further.

Can I ask what it is that you like about limit omaha? I'm just curious, I've never really had the patience to play it.

How big is a box?Sites are good for different reasons.

Wrong forum, it will probably get moved.You made the right play and got unlucky. Nothing you could do. With your stack as short as it is, you don't want to be able to get away from the hand (mathematically, it is wrong to do so, that's what pot committed actually means).

I believe all hands should have the nickname "Wang Chung."

I sweated grinder in a 200+16 tournament yesterday on FTP, which he cashed in, so if he has less than 100, he withdrew it in a hurry.

It's not terribly advanced, but if you notice aggression increase between a couple of players and then slow down when everyone else has dropped out, it should be a red flag.If you notice the raising wars happening between the same two or three players most of the time, same thing. I think your best bet would be e-mailing support with your concerns. I'm sure the last thing they want is for you to take your business elsewhere.

lol, what was the bet?

Sympathy tilt.Just remember your training. Whacks on, whacks off. << That would make a good t-shirt.

Do you think he'd raise you with a small pair on the flop if he thought you might have ak? If so, I dunno if you are going to scare him out. If not, well, you might check-raise the turn to see if he'll give you free cards next time the situation arises. It costs you the same amount, and if you get 3-bet, then you know it's probably time to pack it in.

Thanks all, I figured it was an easy call. Turned out he had AK and said he made that play to look like he was on tilt so he could get a call by something like AQ (not by me...). Got unlucky in the hand, but I managed to build my stack back up after the beat, so all was not lost.

I swear, if I hear the line about the twigs and branches and the sucker again, I'm going to lose it.

When you're buying vowels in Wheel of Fortune, do you get Y's for half price?

Cash games for me mostly because I usually PLO. I have played sngs in the past, but I get annoyed with them because the blinds get too high for much play towards the end.

Just realized that at the higher limits they have double deck games at the Bellagio with decent rules. That game could probably beat without team play.

People tend to gamble a lot more in tournaments (especially lower level) because the blinds keep escalating. In a cash game, if you get broke, it's your money. In a tourney, it's just chips.

Lol, nh.

Well, just took 7th after a bad beat. Oh well, I had medium chips at about 70k with the blinds at 2.5k/5k and the antes at 500.Thanks for the encouragment guys, I appreciate it!

Thanks, I appreciate it. BTW, first double-stack tournament. I love having chips to play with!

After being king of the bubble for about a month, I'm finally at a final table! Currently in the 6k guaranteed on FTP. Wish me luck!

That was my thought as well. I don't think he would have done it with aces, though, I feel like that would have been too much of a risk.

I feel like you are talking yourself into calling here. If you think your hand is best, lead out on the turn and take a weak lead on the river. Check-calling gives you no information, and doesn't put your opponent to any type of decision. Put more pressure on your opponent. Rather than trying to convince yourself that you have the best hand, you should save your energy and try to convince your opponent.
