I seriously doubt anyone would fold trip k's there. Of course, there's always the "unless" part, but that early in the tourney, could anyone have a solid enough read on a stranger to put them on a's preflop?

What a long thread!After reading the whole thing 6 times I have combined all the theories on both subjects and came up with the solutions....1. What did KGB have in his hand?Answer- Kgb had the 3 of clubs and the Old Maid.2. What was in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction?Answer- The Ion Rod that sticks to Homer in the Simpsons intro.There, case solved.

not true.....i was playin a limit game with nut flush...river made board pair....almost feel into a trap...but I checked. its easy against one because the best that will happen is you win one more big bet. WCS....you get check-raised and lose 2 more big bet at least....against three...its a bit harderHence the word usually :PGreat play if you can feel it out, but like i said, many would still feel they played the hand correctly, although in hindsight of course, it's wrong.Doh!

It would be tough for anyone to think they had the worst hand. You knew nothing about them, and they knew nothing about you. I guess the only possible one might have been the k high flush scared of an A, but still that would be a tough laydown regardless.The board pairing is spooky, but usually not spooky enough to scare the nut and 2nd nut flush off.Hindsight is 20/20, but at the time of the river, everyone probably thought they had the best hand.

It's tough to pick an order, each commentator has their own style. I'd probably have to go...1. Lon and Norman2. Mike and Vince3. Everyone Else1 and 2 is a very close race. I sometimes like how Lon and Norm don't get as involved in analysis and Mike does, but sometimes i prefer the more indepth look. Mike is surely the best player of the 4.Sometime's Norms jokes are goofy funny (a la mattias anderson popsicle comment), other times they are completely retarded (Greg Raymer sponge bath comment) but still, he is colorful.The lamest of all is Vince Van Patten calling every pocket pair he sees wir

Honestly, i doubt it mattered, he was on a draw on every street, it's doubtful that he would have gave it up no matter what you said you had. He was calling with a 2 5 os with no possible flush. You probably could have told him you had that set and he would have called :dance:

LOL, nice.

Ever since seeing the 2004 wsop main event, I have had a great respect for Raymer, despite all the heat he has taken. You don't beat a field that big without a great amount of skill.I hope he plays and wins more.

I bought this for 10 bucks at target. After reading around on these forums, i realize that I am obviously out of my league for several aspects of the game, but hey, i'm only 25, i have my whole life to figure it out and make some spare cash :)Anyway, I highly recommend this video for someone around the same skillset as me. Phil gives a clear explanation of several topics that i believe are an important foundation for any serious player.I know many of you won't need to see this, as you are all well aware and very skilled in concepts such as pot odds, position, but for someone like me it was th

I wish I had a $750 bankroll and could play against whales. I'm plop down all of it, then, when they aren't looking, i'm gank their wallets!Now that's what I call a positive return!

I'm always reading that Party Poker has the most fish. While i'm sure this is very true, (after all, I play there!) it might be one of the hardest sites to consistantly beat the low limit games (.50/1, 1/2) I swear, I quit playing there all together recently because of the amount of worthless players there.I don't have much money to blow on online poker, i just play to learn and try to slowly build a bankroll. Those limits have just about became impossible for people who try to consistantly play correctly.AT PARTY POKER LOW LIMIT HOLD'EM, PEOPLE WILL CALL YOU DOWN WITH ANYTHING AND PULL A FLUS

765 at once!Just kiddin, I usually play 1, or 2 if i'm feeling good. Any more than that just seems to get annoying. I haven't built my skill up to be able to pay attention to betting patterns on more than 2 tables, at least as well as i like.

I'd much rather watch a wsop or wtp game.Still, even though i don't like it very much, i still watch it lol, mainly because there isn't anything better on. I mean, if my wife makes me watch another Will and Grace rerun, i'll go insane! Tilt, as poor a show as it is, is still more interesting than most everything else simply because it involves playing cards.

Mucking pocket aces.......If anyone ever did this, i would just have to either punch them in the face or laugh out loud for 3 minutes strait.....Seriously though, except in the EXTREME cases stated above, who would ever actually muck aces preflop?BTW, nice hand above here, i would have been jumping around like a ninny had I won that pot.
