  1. Although you profited, are you really beating the game? Cause you are paying more in rake then you are actually profiting.
    Profiting = winning. Player X may not be profiting as much as the casino/online site per hand, but he's still beating the game.Though if a player was only in the green when not including the rake taken from the pots, then he is not beating the game. For instance, I know I am better than my competition at live 3/6 fixed limit games, but the max $5 rake + $1 bad beat drop per hand makes the game close to unbeatable (or at the least, not beatable by enough to make it worthwhile to play).
  2. 2. No on demand hand history browser. Mind boggling. Is the only way to browse hand history to have them emailed? Again maybe I'm missing something, but wow, what a pain in the ass.
    Top left of your table window "Previous #xxxxx" brings up the instant hand history.Options -> Instant Hand History options -> save hand histories directly to your hard drive.That is all.
  3. Please don't tell me you are that gullible. He didnt have a set of queens or a set at all. j9 or kj is much more likely and he just didnt want to showdown the hand.
    Riiight. Because near-rocks love 3-betting twice with an open-ended straight draw and then go ballistic when their 8-outer doesn't hit. (sw)The only hand he may have had and played that way would be something like a straight draw plus the low set (33) or QT for 2 pair. Had that been the case, he probably would have whined about straight draw not hitting at the worst.
  4. 3/6 fixed limit B&M dealer's choice game (Omaha hi/Holdem). It's my button and I'm dealt AQsTT. Everyone limps in (as always at the donkey bingo 3/6 game) and the flop comes QT3 rainbow.The villain is a pretty tight, kinda old guy. Takes himself way too seriously. He has 3 stacks of red chips (everyone else has all, or nearly all, $1 chips) in front of him and is constantly asking the dealer for change for his $5 chips on every pre-flop and flop betting round.Mr "Rounder" bets, a few people call, I raise, Rounder 3bets, we all call. Turn completes the rainbow with an offsuit 5. Rounder bets, 2 callers, I bump it up (right now all that beats me is pocket queens, unlikely since I know where 2 of the queens are already. I tentatively pin him on a big straight draw), he 3bets and we all call again.River brings a jack and the villain yells obscenaties, tosses his cards in the muck and says he had a set of queens. He leaves the table for a short walk. The donks look like deer in the headlights and they both check to me. I check behind, flip up my set of 10's and say "well maybe this is good now". The donks muck and I start raking in a massive pot.Mr "Rounder" comes back to see me raking the pot with my tabled hand and goes absolutely ballistic. He starts yelling that I was reaching for my chips out of turn (I actually don't recall doing that, but I constantly have my hands busy playing with pre-positioned $6 stacks of chips at all times) as if to say I was angle shooting and that caused him to fold, or something.I calmly tell him that I always play with my chips. I catch some comment from another player that Mr Rounder pays too much attention for his own good. This makes me smile even more as I continue stacking my new chips.

  5. Looks like I'm the only one who can't do that...I guess I should start practicing
    I can only do 8 so don't feel bad
    Once you can do about 10 (two stacks of 5) the technique is exactly the same all the way up to your maximum. I can do up to 22 but after that my fingers aren't long enough to push the bottom of the stack together anymore.
  6. Reminds me of a hand I played the other day. I limp/call a preflop raise in PL Omaha with 89QQss. The raisor and caller are both short stacked ( $13 and $16 at the $50 buyin table). Flop comes Q83(2 hearts), I check, preflop raisor bets a small amount, the other short goes all in. I figure at best the other guy is tied with me, maybe KK or a draw.I call him ($14 more into a decent pot) and he has just the nut flush draw and a pair of 8's, no heart comes and I take his money. He proceeds to berate my play and tells me I should have folded because he would "usually have had a bigger hand". Classic :club:

  7. Today I just lost $200 playing 3-6 in a B&M.
    I lose at donkey bingo (3/6 B&M) all the time, that in itself isn't anything to quit over. I do quite well in the 2/4 full ring games online, and am slowly learning 6-max and other games besides hold'em.I find a good session at Stud8 or PLO does wonders (both for the bankroll and fun factor). I even load up FullTilt once in a while and play some small stakes Razz. I don't keep any records for Razz or Stud8 (or even Omaha until I get Pokertracker Omaha soon) but I find it renews my interest in playing. I pretty much break even at all these games (except PLO) but I have fun doing it.Maybe try taking up some new games at low stakes, don't worry about winning so much.
  8. 1. Getting cold cards (3-4 tabling online folding 30 hands straight at one table is never an issue, since I have 2-3 other tables going)2. Being forced to watch donkey play in between folded hands.3. Combining #1 and #2 to start playing worse cards and playing like a donkey (it rubs off on my I swear).I can't wait to pull some money out of my online poker rooms and have a bankroll for the B&M 10-20 limit game...
