My poker game has an armed guard at it. I guess the danger is real once people find out locations.

I'm sure this has been covered ad nauseam but is Jerry Yang the same Jerry Yang who founded Yahoo? Surely not.

Eagle Pass, Texas. Yes, there are casinos on indian reservations in Texas. It was an absolute joke. The casino was not allowed to be the house in blackjack only to take a vig, so one of the players had to be the house. Very weird. Terrible food service and gambling. Trust me, this is the worst casino in the world.

Actually, I'm a dumbass. Those are the odds for all three hitting a set on the flop. I misread the original post. Ignore previous post and carry on.

I choose "a" with "d" running a close second.

I come up with 1896.5 to 1 for all three to hit a set if they all have pocket pairs. This is how.1st card of flop has a 6/46 chance of being a "good" card, second has 4/45, and third has 2/44. That makes 48/91080 or 1/1897.5 or 1896.5 to 1 odds.To determine the odds before the cards are dealt you have to figure the odds of 3 pp's that aren't of the same card. that is, you can't have 2 pocket pairs of 4's. Once you figure that number out, multiply it by 1896.5 and you'll have it.

Nice to meet you

First off, everyone here is an a$$ hole so don't worry about that (not that you seem to concerned about it). It sounds like you're making a good decision if poker is affecting your life and health. It all comes down to what makes you happy and if winning at online poker makes you happy, then do it, if it doesn't, move on and find another way to make an extra 10K year such as buying old houses and fixing them up or researching stocks and investing in them or starting your own business. It just comes down to what you want in life. Oh yeah, and I almost forgot....you're such an f'ing moron.

I thought it was funny

I was very confused before I realized this was 8 or better.nh

Shot one about a year ago. Truly a "hand cannon"

If that's really what you think, then you must be teh ghey.

Truth is, you learned a lesson the hard way, the same way I've learned that same lesson. The lesson is this.Never under any circumstances let the dealer take your cards until you have a pot you won in front of youI actually went to the floor with this once and everyone at the table and the guy who was given the pot attested to my cards. I was lucky but it doesn't always work that way. Simply tell the dealer politely that you would like to hold onto your cards. The only reason they take the cards in the WSOP is for the TV shot. There is no other reason to do that. Always hold onto your ca

Most staking deals do. For example, if you stake someone 100% buy in you typically get 50% of the win. So in this instance for 15% of the money, you would have to put up 30% of the buyin. Of course, that is prime situation when people know you and respect your play. Since he's appealing to people who don't necessarily know him, 15% for 15% doesn't seem like a bad deal.Or maybe I'm way off. Who knows.

I'll open the bidding at 20 bucks. Just to get the ball rolling and all.

Gus Hansen got hit by a bus.But seriously, I think the op is refering to how much more agressive poker has gotten. I think the semi bluff is still as important as it used to be. It's still hard to call off all your chips in any situation.

You are correct.However, I figured 135 in the pot. Here is the breakdown:Pre flop $6 (it could be more than this but not less)Then$20 bet$20 call$20 call with $12 raise$12 call with $45 raise$135 in the pot with $57 to call, not $45, that puts you at 2.37 to 1 on the pott odds and if you take the 39% stated earlier, that is 1.56 to 1.Should have called.Finally, I think the ruling was wrong but I haven't played in a casino in about a year. Maybe the rules changed. I do like the idea of throwing the rule book at the guy though. Sounds fun.

Two things.....first he wasn't the OP, and secondly, this is exactly what the OP asked. I think I should be an arbitrator.

Are you saying you want a piece of me? You want a piece of me.......YOU GOT IT!!!!!

Yeah I noticed the Phil Margera thing, but the Steve-O add-on you made probably ruined the humor.Better luck next time.

Maybe if you let the thread get more than two posts or 18 minutes old then someone would make that joke......just a thought.

Big news: Phil Hellmuth Jr., who owns a record 10 World Series bracelets and is widely considered the best poker player in the world, was eliminated after about six hours of action. His ace-queen lost to pocket sevens.That is verbatim folks

Here it comes......in 3....2.....1

Yeah right, the only people who benefit more from this than daniel are the others at the table.

I'll beat this offer and give you 20-1 if you want it.
