Sadly that's only 450 BB, for heads up play that's probably under-rolledWatching this $500-$1000 limit game on Stars.2 playersiwanturmoney - $451,443 in real moneythe punter- $73,987 in real money

Donkies calling all in with ace high is good too.

About $200 I think. PLO hand where I reraised with TJQK and got re-popped by obvious AAxx. A few other callers as well came along for a huge pot. Flop came ATx so I had 9 outs minus his redraws. I gamboled (something like $120 more into a $450 pot) and lost
The money was important to me, but I made a good gamble so I was happy regardless of the $ result. -
DN should flee back to Canada where we are actually liberal about gambling ;)Oh yeah +1

LHE will stay popular at B&M casinos, even if it is "dying" online. This is because people at the casino generally come to gamble, but aren't willing to lose large sums on any given hand. A game like 3/6 LHE allows you to have minimal losses while still having the chance to drag the occasional monster pot. "Oh what the hey, only $6 more to call my gutshot, look at the size of the pot I could win!"

Damn cheap assholes only gave me $5

Absolute has tournies with the fee taken out of the prize pool, right? (IE: $10 tourny instead of $10+1) I'd just gamble in a $10 MTT.

Wow my topic exploded, I'm so proud, lol.
That's all I wanted to know, if anyone else had seen this in a NL game.Instead of you two having a pissing contest, why don't you just agree that the local B&M the OP went to had a policy in place to cap the amount of raises. It's not unheard of!
I believe that preflop, the blinds count as the first bet and raise, making UTG's the 2nd raise, villain's the 3rd and my raise the cap.I can see why a rule like this would be beneficial in a cash game where collusion is always an issue to take into account. But for a NL tourny if I have chips and there is a legit raise (ie, not an undersized all in) after me I should be able to re-raise. Next time I visit a different casino I will try to remember to ask them and see what their ruling would be.Umm. . UTG raised to 150, next player to act raised to 600, you raised to 1200, that makes only 3 raises, so even if this 4 raises rule was in effect, why couldn't UTG re-raise all in?? -
Here's the scenario: $55+5 live MTT at a local B&M casino. Actions as follows..Blinds 50/100, UTG+1 raises to 250, Villain reraises to 600, I am on the button with KK and pop it up to 1500. Dealer declares my raise as a "cap" and does not allow Villain to reraise all in. Most of the players at the table try to tell the floorman that in no-limit as long as you have chips to raise, there is no limit to the number of raises in a given round. The floorman says that the rule is that unless it is heads up on the river, there can be no more than 4 raises on the same round. I've never seen this fixed limit rule applied to no limit before, so I just wanted to see if anyone else had encountered this.FYI the flop came QT3 rainbow, he checked, I pushed, he called with aces and I sucked out with a K on the turn.
Looking back I suppose I could have looked to check it down since it was very likely that he had AA (or QQ). But this guy had previously pushed his ~4000 chip stack in from early position with 25/50 blinds, so I figured he was a donkey with AK/AQ in this spot. -
Sounds like it will be a good read. There seem to be a lot of these former "success stories" crashing down lately. I suspect that it's due to moving up limits waaay too fast. Just because you have the money to play a certain limit (using "conventional" 300BB/20 buyin bankroll wisdom) doesn't mean that you should or that you will be a winner there.Those often quoted bankroll numbers only work when you are a proven winning player, will step down if you take a hit, etc. The fact that he is borrowing to get money to get back into the games that broke him is a very, very bad sign. There's no shame in stepping down limits after playing in the top games. As Mike Caro says, money saved/not lost buys just as much as money earned.

Steel wheel for the win
Also buddy list fencguy, lol.. OMGZ TOP 2 PAIR NO GOOT?! -
Worst mistake was sitting at a heads up cash game. The rake will eat you alive at small stakes.

These comics are pretty decent. This one made me laugh:http://plusev.net/d/20060906.html

QFT. If your hand was more robust like JJT9 with one flush draw maybe you could raise it up in late position. Playing sets out of position can be very ugly in Omaha since they often don't stay the nuts for very long. I'd probably call the flop here though.I never would have raised in with the Jacks. -
You played it fine. CO likely has a flush, but with a pot so big you can't fold.
-
Best line right thereI'll take a three hour drive over dealing with the thirty Jackie Chan's the other girl came with any day.

I know they are available online, but since I was feeling rich I looked into getting hard copies of the new ones delivered to my door. But $80 is outrageous, I'm not feeling that rich!I think at 7-11 they go for like $5-6 CDN, so $80 US would still be a savings, but not by muchI don't know why it costs so much. All of the articles are available online, so if you want to save some money...Are you still "feeling a little rich?"
-
Okay so I was feeling a little rich today and thought "wouldn't it be nice to get Card Player magazine in print". So I went to their website and checked out the rates.1 Year U.S. (26 issues) for $19.992 Year U.S. (52 issues) for $37.491 Year Canada (26 issues) for $79.99$80.00 for one year? Why so damn much to get it in Canada?

Busted out of two big tournies today. Donkies pushing any ace and hitting their one overcard against my big pair.. grrr.
-
Yeah with their debit card they charge fees. There is also a 1.9% fee for a currency exchange.I withdrew 270€ to my neteller debit card and they charged me 12€!!!!!!!!!ffs11111 -
You don't need to book huge wins and losses to be a "pro", lots of average days add up180 is a horrible day for a pro player. 180 for a part timer is good, for someone living off the game, its poop, why? cuz you have down swings, so there are days, or weeks where u wont make much at all If $180 is an average day that still works out to the same wage that someone working 8 hours at $22.50/hr makes.I've been toying with the idea of playing for a living as well. I just finished school, haven't gotten a job yet but play very often and do well. I don't count it as playing for a living since I am at home still, paying next to nothing for rent/food. My biggest issue has been not putting in enough tables hours. Since about May I've averaged about $25/hr playing lower fixed limit holdem and PLO (including rakeback), but I only book about 40-70 hours a month. Liveable if I could play a full 6-8 hours a day on average while still playing my B+/A game and not burning myself out.GL OP, keep us updated.

I have that Interpoker hat. I still don't know why they sent me one

This may be some bad news but... Golden Palace has been the *only* site I have ever had to fax my ID to before they would clear my cash out. I've played at probably 30 sites for real money now.I'm not sure if they still demand age verification, but I doubt they will go back in your history and see that you weren't 18 when you played freerolls. They will probably see that you are 18+ (I am assuming you are) and rubber stamp your cashout.

I am guessing it's not some random donk. A random donk would just challenge to a heads up match at the same stakes. A shark will look to increase the stakes. Why would a random donk playing 2/4 have enough of a roll on a site to play 20/40 anyways?
