mosely i get those too, all i need to do is look away from my computer for a couple of seconds and then everything goes back to normal, but i never get any pain with it

I dont remember any of the details of betting and whatnot, but in our homegame, with the final board was K Q J X X, the one player turns over A2 and says that he has a straight and starts to take in the pot. He didnt believe anyone when we said that you couldnt do that, so he went to the computer to look it up online. He was not the happiest person after that hand.

brown doubles up through DNOn a flop of [7♠][6♥][5♦] Daniel Negreanu bet about 40k and Chad Brown moved all in for 44.5k. Negreanu called the small raise and the players showed:Chad Brown [Q♠][8♠]Daniel Negreanu [J♠][4♠]The turn and river came [A♠][K♦] and Brown took the pot with his [Q] high to double up.

Michael Tait pushed all in from middle position for 52k and Daniel Negreanu called from the small blind. The players showedMichael Tait [A♦][Q♦]Daniel Negreanu [9♥][9♣]The board came [5♦][7♥][K♣][8♣][10♦] and Negreanu's pocket nines held up to eliminate Tait in 16th place with $22,895.

I think anyone here puts their money in as well. The only way you could get away from the hand was if you put the other player on the case J and 1 of the 2 remaining 6's. I know personally, I couldn't make a read like that. He had to have 2 exact cards to tie you, with only 3 of them left in the deck. It is unfortunate that he hit his runner runner low, but if 2 cards come that are higher than a 6, are you going to be as confident with your full house when it is no longer the nuts? When the villain repotted it to you on the turn, I think something should be going off in your head that he'

In a home game, late in a tournament, I looked down and saw 88. There were 3 limpers ahead of me, I raised, and all 3 called. The flop comes 6 7 8 with 2 spades. The action went crazy at first, with a medium bet, a large raise, and a smooth call. From this action, I figured someone had a large pocket pair, maybe two of them had high pockets, and possibly someone had a straight. I figured even if someone had the straight, I had 1 8, 3 7's, and 3 6's to fill up. I was wrong. Eventually everyone gets it all in. Player 1 shows a set of 6's. Player 2 shows a set of 7's. I have a set of 8'

Comming from a texas hold'em backround, what I have always heard is "when the table is loose, tighten up, and when the table is tight, loosen up" I was wondering if this applies to PLO8. Last night I was playing low limit, and the table that I was at was quite loose and full of calling stations. There were a couple of times when, preflop, I would put in a pot raise with a strong hand, and see 6 people behind me calling. Usually there were 4 players seeing the river, and these guys were not afraid to call large bets at the end with nothing but 2 pair and a dangerous board. After reading th

Ok so after that I feel that my best play would have been to just flat call the turn and then take whatever comes to me on the river. I'm guessing you guys are saying no to the raise on the turn is because at the time, my hand only has potential and nothing else? Well that is what happened, and unfortunately (for me) the river was the 9 , so at least that made my decision on the river easy. Thanks for the replies guys.

ThatPkrGuy, you are right. I meant to write that as I had a nut low draw. I had been playing with these guys for about 30 mins, and I had actually seen some of them going for the low with no high draw, when only drawing to maybe the 4th or 5th low. Basically, I felt that these people were excited just to make any sort of low, which is why I felt my A2 would have been good enough. One of the reasons why I called this flop, which seems to be the big issue here, is because I had seen most of these players paying off big pots with next to nothing, and I felt that if I my low draw, which at th

Im a fairly new player to PLO8, like most converted from texas hold'em. Unfortunately i dont have a hand history, but I have a question on when it is appropriate to raise with a draw. I was in late position with 4 callers ahead of me as well as the button calling behind me. The situation occured when the flop came down 5 6 J with myself holding the A 2 7 10 . After the flop the BB bet the pot, 2 other players called, and I decided to call. I was thinking that if I could keep in enough players and hit the low, I could make some money if I hit my low and there were a lot of pla

I actually go to school with this guy at lehigh. I only ever met the kid once, and I never really liked him. But like all the articles said, he does not seem like the kind of kid who would go out and rob a bank. Honestly, nobody on campus can believe that he would do such a thing, since he clearly comes from an affluent backround.

maybe DN is just waiting til he can get the xbox's so he can send out all the prizes at the same time?

Playing in a home game where we play dealers choice between texas and omaha. The one player has been losing quite a bit, and when it is his turn to deal he goes "Lets try omaha, i mean, since there are double the cards, i have double the chance to win right?" The entire table just started cracking up, and this guy could not understand why.

gotta go with poker stars. first of all, they have the 180 man SNG's, plus if sean can make money on pokerstars, im pretty sure u will be able to :-)

If you say that most poker players are not serious about the game, then how can u expect them to go out and buy a DVD teaching them how to get better? Even though DN went through a slump this year, his face was still shown a lot during the WSOP.

Yes it was a NL game. I have been playing with these guys for over 2 years now, so we all pretty much know each other. I had one raiser and a call in front of me. I was in the SB and saw AK and was 99% sure i was ahead, so i raised it up for more, about 2 total. After the action preflop, I don't remember the action on the flop or the turn, just that I was leading out. The original raiser was the type of player who loves to bluff, and the second player was a calling station like you wouldn't believe, so the whole situation was set up nicely for me.

Playing in a home game, I raised preflop with AK. Flop was 3 8's, I bet out, 2 callers. Turn was a 7, I bet again, both called. River was the 4th 8. At this point the pot was about $25, pretty large considering we play the small stakes of .10/.20. On the river i bet out for $5. One guy folded(he said he turned a straight draw) and the other guy goes into the tank. Then he says "I think u raised preflop with like 7's or 10's, so i call" I show him my AK, and he flips over J10. He stuck by his comment and said that it was a good call.

when i first saw this topic i got excited, bc im not nearly as good of a cardplayer as most people on here, but i am a collegiate runner, so i figured i'd do well in a fitness test. while not only spending way too much time reading about poker, i also spend too much time reading about running, including the science behind it, so i figured i could give out a couple of tips to those who want to lose weight.first off, one of the biggest ways to help lose weight is not only to limit what u eat, but also what u drink. now everyone here knows that cutting out the beer and soda from a diet is a goo

in my home game, people are amazed by the fact that i can do the butterfly trick(the one evelyn does). the good thing about this is when im in a pot and start doing this trick, i notice that certain players lose focus. of course these players are pretty easy to beat straight up, but doing chip tricks just gives me an extra edge which i will never pass up. as far as stacking, i just build a wall, lowest denominations on the left, highest on the right

Yesin the dorms there is always games going on, mostly before people go out on friday nights and always sunday nights. these are nothing big, mostly $10 buy in. at times the frats will hold $100 buy ins. games at my school are always loose aggressive, which works out fine for me
