Ole PK

Thanks.. i'll turn off the animation... Always wondered about that. Wow. I've only received constructive answers to a question on this forum.

video card lagging... that's very possible... I have an ole laptop... ATI graphic card but not top of the line... that could be it.

Poker office kinda blows, but I got it for free by doing some promo.anyway, I tested it out on party poker, and I noticed that it's odds calculator shows my hole cards about 1 second or 2 before my hole cards show up on the screen. I DO NOT THINK ONLINE POKER IS RIGGED!Anyway, at first I thought maybe it was reading the hole cards from the dealer summary, ie, maybe it saysOLE PK IS DEALT [x, x]and it read the info before the graphics caught up.But I dont see that info in the dealer summary.I DO NOT THINK ONLINE POKER IS RIGGEDIN FACT, HAVING IT COME UP A FEW SECONDS EARLIER THAN THE GRAPHICS

It happens all the time with really big tournaments though. They start online, and have the final tables telivised. I've seen Party do it, Paradise has one coming up, etc etc.I know it's an online tournament, but I still think it would be amusing. . .

Would it be worth it? Instead of playing it out online? Alot of BIG online tournies do this... Maybe ole Berkowitz might not be such a hot shot if he cant hide behind his cpu.

I suppse you are right. However, at this table -- trust me... 25% was tight (c'mon, this was party afterall)I like the discussion this post has generated though. Everyone’s opinions and insight are very interesting.

You and I are on the same page. It's not a play I make often at all. I felt the circumstances were right... I know I got lucky and hit my flop. I really just wanted it to go a long way to increase my action... which as I mentioned, it did.

I was playing party last night... multi-tabling a couple NL tables... Anyway... I was playing pretty steady (up about 80 BB's after 2 hours) when this hand came down.Here's the thing: I felt like making a play. I was in a middle position and there was only one limper. If anyone was tracking my stats they'd notice I'd only seen 25% of flops, and I was raising preflop less than usual (I believe 8%)I was dealt Q 2like I said, one limper. I raise it 8x the BB. BB calls and the original limper folds.OK. We didn't anticipate that. No big deal. The BB has been playing a ton of hands. Flop

ever think it's crap like this that will end up having poker tracker / poker office banned... and any accounts using them suspended?I'm not saying that it'll happen, but it could be a slippery slope.

feeding the geese... it's a bit obscure.

If there was a poker channel, would you watch it?I hate regular TV. I TIVO poker when its on. When i'm drunk, I want to watch poker. When I'm playing poker, I like having poker on in the background.Hey, there's a GD golf channel that doesn't even show mainstream PGA events... all it is is infomercials, lessons and CPGA, EPGA tours. They could have old WPT events, past WSOP coverage, they could have pros come on and give stupid tips. They could also show TONS of WSOP coverage instead of the cut-down crap they show on ESPN. Show hand after hand after hand after hand (like that full tilt to

you guys like to be clever... lets see what you can come up with to fill in the blank.

Party / Pacific fairly easy. also found Noble's to be donkish at times.Strangely, I play UB's the most, but they've been known to be semi-tough.-side note... Whitespade... you're from Fredericton NB?? I lived there from ages 0 to 22... nice

What about good poker players who are too poor to form a serious bankroll?There are lots of prop trading firms around... and you could say any good day trader would rather trade for themselves... It'd be the opportunity to work with a large bankroll that would be enticing. But yeah, there'd be alot of turnover... good players would split and work solo, bad players would get fired.
