Ok

shitloads of rakeback btw how do I even claim rakeback!? Its not really poker winnings is it? I mean it sort of is... but is it legal even? I dont know...Blah

Of course not. Why do you ask? Do you want something made?

no clue. that would be awesome though

Lets just say hypothetically I make $30k this year from poker and rakeback combined... I need to figure out how to handle this legally so the IRS does not kill me. Anyone living in CT ever won anything more than $10k in poker winnings and paid the taxes on it?For the last few months poker has been my only source of income. I am a professional poker player technically. Should I try to get all of my tax stuff set up and file as a professional poker player? I dont want to mess up lol

Unless you have the absolute dream hand, (straight with a 2 pair or better) then I am about 43 EE if you call. More often than not, since I checked and the guy to my left min bet... your standard play 100% of the time is to pot it basically with anything and usually with nothing. There are advantages and disadvantages of playing certain styles... If you always bet when its checked to you, I am going to CR you. If all you do is overcall, im going to bet huge. If you never bet and always call a little bit, im going to always value bet you. If you are a maniac, im going to overvalue my hands agai

I was 30 EE boo hoo...You are going to mock me on the forums? Looks like im not the only one to ever get my money in bad or... drawing dead.Now can we just be pals?

I would call or maybe raise in that spot. Any low card will probably give me freeroll outs. If the ace or 2 comes it could counterfeit someone and then I could easily take the pot by betting the turn.

Lol yeah. I learned a ton about poker tracker now. I have 14,000 hands on a friend of mine and it shows him being down $400 net but hes up a lot over 30k hands. I stopped looking at $$ won and lost when I had Bourgoune I think that's how you spell his name... up $1200 over 35k hands, but my friend had bourgoune DOWN $1500 over 30k hands.. I look at the autorate player thing eventhough I think it is a little too strict (out of 9,000 people in my DB only a handfull are the Moneybag sign...The standard auto-rate player thing has me rated as an Eagle.

what does it mean if my total winnings are 1/8 of my showdown winnings? How would it compare to if my total winnings are 1/2 of my showdown winnings? Does a low total winnings rate compared to a much higher showdown winning mean that I am folding too much when I am ahead?

I have found NLO8 50/1 to be the juiciest game. Especially when 1stock1 is playing. I have played over 150k hands this year (not that much but still) and am up quite a nice chunk of change. Had I not cashed out a bunch to buy a car, id be playing 1/2 since I have seen a lot of very bad players like Kideddie7 and 1stock1 play there frequently. FTP forced me to close my old account though so I play as Ralgoth now.

Hey DN, I read your most recent blog. I noticed that you said you are trying to lose weight and build muscle. You gotta be eating tons of mixed wild/brown rice... Beans... Oatmeal... (do you drink skim milk?) Just remember it is calories in, calories out. It doesn't matter what you eat or how much of it you eat as long as you burn it off.I am guessing that its harder for you to build muscle because you are most likely an Ectomorph. So if you really want to bulk up just get your hands on a load of protein powder (Natural, expensive Whey protein Isolate) I don't use it because I'm a mesomorph.Th

I think he had AK or AQ of spades. I think when people look back at their hands it generally means that they don't have a pair because they are checking to see if their two suited cards are the same suit as the flop. If he is checking this, then it pretty much means that he doesn't have a pair. Thats what I think it means. I think he called and you won

All in as fast as possible and hope for a call because you have them in 80/20 80% of the time and 70/30 20% of the time

This country is finished and it is because people keep voting Democrat/Republican.check out the documentary http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1656880303867390173 absolutely free it will explain a lot if you don't already know

Ahhhhh how do you put one cent into the pot on that flop? What are you hoping for the flop to be though anyway? K55? KK8? K23 and dodge someones low-wrap? Maybe a 222 or 666 flop? lol anything other than the above mentioned flops are worthless for your hand. I auto check fold the flop.Yes the guys play was bad, but I have no sympathy because you played the hand very poorly.

Unless this guy is an absolute drunk fish , I fold on the flop when he makes it 90. I don't mind just calling his raise pre flop because then it really helps limit your perceived strength. There is always a danger of disguising the strength of your hand though, as DN thoroughly explains frequently in his tournament summaries. If I make that call on the flop and he shoves all in on the turn then I am 100% folding. Is he really doing this with AQ/KK? Those are the only hands that you can realistically beat here. This is a tough spot to be in but you are up against QQ, 66 or 22 here. I would gue

I dont get it... the house makes more money if more hands are played. If the house really wanted to rig the game, they would make it so that nobody busts so that the game never ends and everyone has to go to the cashier to add on more money when their bankroll starts getting short. Why would they intentionally empty out your account? They don't make anything when you deposit. They make a lot when you play raked hands over a long period of time

Limit Omaha 8 is like any other limit game. If you are getting the right price on your call... lets just say 6-1 on the river, you basically ask yourself "am I in a winning spot 1 in 6 times?" the answer is usually yes against most players. Against very solid very tight players the answer would probably be no.

I think my goals are to let my bankroll grow by primarily 8 tabling and trying to get satellites into 200+ buyin tournaments where I can "win it big"It *looks like* the games become much less juicy as the stakes go up, and there's no reason to play against tough opponents when there are so many bad players who play smaller stakes. If I had a bankroll for 1/2 id be 8 tabling that and making over $1300 in rakeback a month + profits and by then id be able to enter so many bigger tournaments that id be bound to get lucky a few times.Besides, I think if you put me down in an average full ring game

stunning... my horrible luck turned around and my stats have improved X3 in just one session.... I play on FTP and I find that LO8 tends to be far less profitable than NLO8 and PLO8if you want to play 08 though... Only play 4 cards 10 or higher, Any hand that has A2 (3,4,5,6,7,8) X in them, you can play hands like A35K and 2345 if you can get in cheap. I usually play double pair hands frequently if I can see a flop for cheap. Dont play for half of the pot. Remember that if you have a straight draw with no low draw, and one of your 4 outs is a low card, you will split the pot. Remember that i

So I just got poker tracker omaha and have been doing a lot of data mining and I wanted to have an opinion from the community142 sessions+ $356 13,176 hands 214 hours1.31 bb/100VP$IP 18.18RPF 4.08 W$SD 53.54As you can see, I have been getting absolutely sodomized on FTP lately. By the end of the month Ill have made over $1200 in rakebackI firmly believe it is in my best interest to play as many tables as possible and earn as much rakeback as possible even if my win rate suffersPros and cons of playing 8+ tables at once+ A lot more rakeback+ Tons more Full Tilt points which translates directly

a -EV situation is still a -EV situation regardless of if it is deep stacked or not. The majority of the time here someone is free rolling against you.

Ron Paul was right on all of it. He is still right on all of it
