Me too! Makes me wanna punch them in the face and say, "oops".

Tied for 1733rd. I suck, lol.

I did the same thing. I e-mailed them about 6 months ago too and they said they put me on the list, but then nothing happened. I decided to try again now just becuase I saw your post. I tried to send a really nice, polite e-mail and I got an answer back in less than a day to give it to me too. It's probably true that it just depends who happens to respond to your e-mail. If you don't have rakeback yet, you should probably just keep e-mailing until they give it to you. It can't hurt anwyays.Also, the first time I e-mailed about it I had been playing there a lot so maybe they figured they

It doesn't matter how many records he sold or how great an entertainer he was. I respect the talent he had as an artist, but that doesn't earn him any respect for who he was as a person.

I remember hearing about this hand on Bart Hanson's show, Deuce Plays. He interviewed Andrew Robl and brought up the hand. Robl said it was his fourth time ever playing pot limit omaha, LOL.

The flop wasn't checked around, that's why he probably doesn't have T9. I don't think he's bluffing with any missed draw here either though. Seems like he just took some weird line with a set or two pair. It might be a bit of a blocker bet he's making on the river so he'll just fold if you raise unless he really does have T9 somehow.

If he's an old ABC player he doesn't call with 95 preflop so it's just T9 we're concerned about. If he's playing so ABC though, does he really call for a gutshot when someone bets $15 into a $9 pot? Also, should we have even called that $15 on the flop? We have to be pretty sure we're gonna get paid off when we hit, but how can we be sure of that agaist the old ABC guy and a player we don't know?

If you just take a shot at a higher level every so often, that's not so bad. The only problem is if it becomes a habbit. A lot of people plan on moving up a level for just one or two sessions, but then they lose. Now they wanna try again to make that money back because they feel like it would take too long making it back at their normal level. Also, when they move back down it may be less interesting now so they wanna go back up again because of that. I've done it myself and I know others that have too. I'd say to stick to strict bankroll rules to avoid any problems. Whatever level you

I'm gonna win this thing!!!

Both these sites have low traffic and not much action at all at higher stakes. Software is a bit slow at times too. It's obviously not good if you wanna play a lot of tables at once. There's propping on both those sites though, so I think it's worth it if you sign yourself up as a prop. I've cashed out of both sites and there were no problems other than the withdrawl being pretty slow.

Noooooo! Hockey season is officially over for me. Maybe next year...

Yeah, one more to go! Bergeron is gonna score the winner in game seven, I feel it. Back to Boston to finish off the series. I wonder if will be there again, LOL. Goooooo Bruins!!!

From his description it sounds to me like he's not too interested in folding too many hands anyways. Still though, if we're checking because we know he's gonna just bet a lot of times, why not check/raise then?

Why not bet out on the flop? Maybe I'm missing something, but what is the reasoning for check/calling?

Not done yet. Great game tonight. 40 shots to 19, that's how they need to keep playing. Shutout for Thomas, 4-0! Goooooo Bruins!!!

I think this new lineup is okay. Decent mix of players and it could have some good action. The only problem is that Peat guy annoys the crap out of me and that big guy has seen rounders one too many times! That little scene with him was so stupid, LOL.

I think Dwan has to say no when Barry asks if he wants to take some of the money back. Part of Dwan's style depends on people being afraid of losing their entire stack. If they know he's willing to make a deal and take some money back, then it's not as scary to play a pot with him. This way they know that when they play with him, they're playing for everything.

I thought the description of her is what does make it more likely that she could still be slowplaying a big hand. He said she seems to overestimate her skill so I thought she might be the type that might get a little fancy and still try for a check-raise.

I dunno if you quoted me because you disagree or because you didn't get what I was trying to say there at the end. I was just saying that a lot of times they were gonna fold or shove regardless of how much we bet. If they didn't have their mind made up already though, then I think $150 creates the best chance for them to decide they're getting it in and make a big pot.You think if they're willing to call $110-$120 that they won't call $150? Maybe you're right, but I think live players generally just won't really fold the draws very often. They're not concerned as much about getting the rig

I think your line here is good. The raise size preflop is fine, I don't like putting in more than that. $40 is probably about the most where you can still get called by hands that you're dominating.I like checking back on the flop too. Like you said, that board is all over their range so it's probably good to get that free turn.Now on the turn, Villian#2 is too shortstacked for us to worry much about anyways so we're really just concerned with Villian#1. I don't really agree that we can eliminate AJ, KQ, or even a set just because she checked to you again. She could easily think that you'

I never understood this betting to "protect your hand" idea. I think you're always either betting as a bluff, or you feel you have the best hand and you're betting for value. Even if I know my oppontent is drawing, I'm not betting to "protect my hand". I'm trying to bet an amount that doesn't give correct odds to draw so I can get value from him when he calls my bet. So I don't get the whole protecting thing, but anyways...I think a bet of $150 on the turn is perfect here. I'm pretty sure this gives us the best chance to get all the money in right now. You don't really have to worry abou

I agree. Even with a min raise I think there's too much in the pot to fold with these stack sizes. That's why I said I'd just shove the flop.

Hellmuth annoys the hell out of me! I love watching him get mad when he loses though. These clips are great, LOL.

Can't ask for a much better flop than that. Pretty much the only way you're losing is if he's got 33 or 66. KK probably raises you preflop and he probably doesn't play any hands that make two pair. He's probably just got a K or he's on a draw. If you just call, you're gonna have a tough decision if the turn comes with a K or a club and if he has a set it's gonna be tough to get away on that board anyways. I think you're way ahead of his range and you just have to get it in on the flop.

If you're not folding I think you need to just shove all in on the river. If you're going to call his bet anyways, then there's no reason at all for checking with these stack sizes. If you're behind he's gonna put you all in anyways and if you're ahead you're just giving him a free showdown when he may have paid you off.Also, someone mentioned that he could be bluffing a missed a draw, but checking is pretty much never inducing a bluff from him in this situation. Someone was already all in on the turn so he's not likely to make a $90 bet to steal a $46 sidepot. Because of that, you pretty
