no doubt this is the sunday to play if there ever was one

way out of my normal range of games but I think that kind of prize pool I might have to take a shot. Oh and the $10 satty super turbo looks fun too.

Isildur was very clever to get the lucky seat like that. I seldom can get people to switch seats and give me the lucky seat at the micros.

The check was for pot control.The river bet was a not well thought value bet.

Here is a live hand that I am certain I played poorly. I have been playing about 45 minutes and playing rather tight. I am a mid 40's white guy. Villain is young asian who has been active. He showed one ill fated bluff on the river that got raised and called and he mucked face up.Hero has about $150, villain covers.Hero is Big blind with k8 diamonds.5 limpers including villian in cutoff.Flop 3 3 8 pot $15Hero bets $10, all fold except villian who callsTurn 7 pot $35Hero checks, villain checksRiver j pot $35Hero bets $25, villain raises to $75 hero??

I like dealers play here. 2 guys are wasting everyone's time, instead of calling clock just expose the river and get it over with

So what does it mean if your representative has not voted on any of the issues? Time to get a new rep?

Seems pretty straight forward to me-There is potentially a pot of $470 plus villains remaining $580 and our $580 for a total potential pot of $1630. We need to risk $580 to win $1630. or roughly 1/3 of the time. We will hit one of our 11 outs abut 44% of the time. I say get it all in-Check shove, open shove- bet, call- it doesn’t matter- get it in

I am trying not to be results oriented, I think that it is possible all the money could have gone in preflop and he still would have lost. They way he played is fine if you are results oriented, he got the money in as a big favorite anyway. I just thought it was unusual to flat there. Clearly he is much better then me, I don't pretend to be as good as him.I thought that at that stage there is no reason to get clever. You have the best hand, there is a lot of money in the middle already- Lock it up. If there is some good reason someone could give to explain the play, maybe I could learn somethi

The reason I posted this is that with 15 left I can not imagine trying to trap preflop with the aces. If you can get it in on the flop I think you have to. By the turn you are committed and there is no getting away from it.

So they are playing either 7 or 8 handed.Blinds: 120,000/240,000 Ante: 30,000Hero is on the button with $20.5 millionVillain covers hero Dealt to Hero A A Folds to villain in the cutoff.

happens all the time online-Guy is going to leave and has cashed- starts shoving every hand. Someone shows up with a hand and calls. Not ethical, not unusual

I don't care what the hates say- that's a bad beat

Interesting Karma that the two guys that did not want to play an 8 handed final table will not have to.
