My only superstition in Holdem is when i am all in and called i like to throw my cards out on the table first . Makes no difference what so ever to the outcome but i just like to do it.

It is simply a statment, like, "have a nice day" I'm not slamming you. My philosophy is if you enjoy the upswings, enjoy the downswings too. I'll explain. If you play GREAT poker and are up play 43 bb/hr you are happy right? Well, eventually you will lose, (nature of the beast) If you play good poker and lose you will enjoy it more than if you play bad poker and lose it, get it? Variance does not pay attention to what table you are on, so to answer your question, do what you want to, as long as you are playing good poker it doesn't matter. Keep in mind though, part of good poker is note

what kind of a comment is this " enjoy the downside of varaince" . i know there will be a downside there always is , i didnt post this to say i have this unbeatable strategy so use it , i was merely asking advice on wheter to stay on one table r keep moving .

quick question. i consider myself a better tourney player than a cash game player but lately again ive tried a few cash games online . What i am doing now is play .50-1 dollar tables , buying in for min 40$ , now if i get up to say 55,60 $ i change to another table and start again. I play for maybe 1 hour a day and in the last week i am up nearly 300$. Now is this just pure luck that this is working for me at the moment ,or do some of you play this way also. One friend told me i should stick to one table get to know how they play and go from there. But people come and go so quicky i dont see

why do people post shite like this. This is a forum , the bloke asked a question for it to be discussed . u dont want to discuss just dont post .

read what, what did i miss , oh u mean the one where he posted about 55 hands that he played blah blah blah mmmmm no

WOW?So in your game yeah is equivalent to a call???? Can I play? I HOPE THE ANSWER IS YEAAAH!!!!HAhahahahaa that is so funny , have to find more of your posts to see if u r this funny all the time

same sort of argument at a home game we had. Heads up player 1 raised to 4k, blinds 500 and 1000. The person who was dealing said to player 2 its up to u , player 2 replied " yeah" maybe a 2 second pause" im all in. " player 1s argument was that when player 2 said "yeah "that was a call and he cannot raise . In the it was agreed that he made a verbal call by saying yeah to the raise . is that the ruling ?

The reason i posted this was to see what other people would have done in this situation, the fact that it was only a 10$ tourney is irrelevant i think. for those of u who told me what they would do i thank u, for the other people who act tough hiding behind a nickname well ye are the reason people r getting pissed off with this forum

Played a 10$ tourney yesterday , 236 entries. First hand I was on the button dealt KK . To make the story shorter there were 3 all ins b4 it even got to me. I folded not wanting to go bust in the first hand.IN the end i would have been knocked out by set 8s and 2 pair As and Qs.What i am asking here is ignoring the fact i would have lost should i have called the all ins and try to get a big chip lead immediately . (the other peson who went all in had k3 but they were suited )

if this has been discussed b4 i apoligise. just wondering what you would do in the situation where for example 5 players left in tourney , money for top 4 , 1 player all in , 2callers , Would you check it down ( which i prefer to do ,unless i ahve the nuts then throw in a bet but only if it is the nuts) or bet hoping the other player folds and u r heads up trying to win the whole pot.

i love this u r able to tell me stylin fish i am so wrong , any chance u could tell me what is right r were u waiting for someone else to give the answer so u can act like u knew it all the time

We were playing a house game last night where one of our regular players brought a friend from work to play . The following happened during a game of NLhold em. SB 2000 BB 4000 , the next person too act who was low in chips went all in for 6500 . I folded the next player said i reraise all in for 30k . Our new player states that you cannot do this as the first raise ( the all in player) did not make an legitimate raise(ie he had to raise to at least 8000) so all you can do is flat call the 6500.Can someone give me the correct ruling on this as i felt anyone who had no chips invested after h

i have been playing NL Holdem for a few months now and i now consider myself to be a good tourney player but an absolute crap player when it comes to cash games , i am trying to figure out why , ( obviously i have stopped playing cash games now ) i was just wondering has this been the case for anyone else here and if so were they able to rectify it . Is it down to the bankroll you have or is it a case u dont mind calling a 3000 chip bet in tourney but if its a 300$ raise in cash game you dont have as much confidence in your hand .just wonderd what peoples few were on this

Did under the gun raise to 2500? i'm just trying to draw the picture in my head, there was 900 in the pot from the blinds, then a limper somewhere, and a 2500 raise?. or a raise of 1900 which made it 2500 to go?where the limper is located is a big part in this hand also. I'm almost tempted to just call in this situation.Sorry royal i knew i was gonna word this wrong , the person after the big blind raised it to 2500 , next player 2 seats b4 me flat called the 2500 , . when i moved all in i was expecting the initial raiser to fold and the person who flat called the raise to call my raise

yes., well luck is really the only thing that kept you in to win. I'm not sure your thinking behind coming over the top for 12k with A'sMy thinking here royal was that there was 5900 in the pot b4 it got to me so if one player folded i felt heads up i would have won pot rather than be against 2 players , not saying it was right play but i thought it might be

Playing a 20 euro + rebuys tourney in local casino last night , after end of rebuys and top ups i have just over 12000 in chips, blinds r now 300 and 600. Next hand is dealt i am on the button , first position raises to 2500, i limper i look down at pocket As , i push all in , raiser calls , limper folds , i throw out my Pocket As he turns over big slick , flop K K 4 , turn 7 and river Q i was so sick i cant even remember what suit these cards were . After counting chips i had 100 left in chips just 1 black chip worth a lousy 100.To make a long story short i came back and shared 1st priz

what i have learned since playing on line is that i do very well in tourneys and in live games in local casino but when i play cash games on line i suck big time.

This does my head in but i cant stop calling even though its losing me money. I am raising preflop with raising hands ie High pocket pairs AK siutued ofsuit etc , to try and get the crap out , flop comes crap , i raise , other player raises all in on me , and i am calling just to see what crap they called a riase with first day. now i know people r entitled to call a raise with what they like blah blah blah . and some people would play the cards i am raising with differently , i do sometimes slow play pocket AS KS etc. But i am wondering does anyone else here just call just to see what the oth

thanks for the replys people , just one thing , Pfunk i agree my cards were crap but i was big blind and there was no raise ,

This is my first post , only playing texas holdem for about 6 months so i will try to explain this as accurate as possible:playing a $50 tourney there was 4 players left ,blinds were 200-400, chips were fairly even , i was third in chip stack , i was on big blind dealt 6s8c . Noone raised so i checked, 3 players involved. flop was 5d 7h 9d . as u can see i hit my straight , sb checked , i checked dealer position raised i think 1200, sb re raised all in , at this stage i am thinking sb has diasmond flush draw , first raiser has open ended straight , after a lot of thought i call the allin
