My personal view on this is that a $5-50 million to Beal is a drop in the bucket from his perspective. In tournaments, everyone knows their downside (buyin). Cash games are very different IMHO. Beal has the edge overall, due to his fearlessness and lack of respect towards his bankroll ( he can just dip in for more). The pros, unless staked, will play more conservatively. Furthermore, the variance and stochastic probabilities are extremely wide, further giving an edge to Beal in regards to bankroll.

You jerk OP. You're giving me $10,000. What about my tax liability you uncaring prick. swFullhouse7

Dannenman and Negreaunu utilze the theory of Mike Caro---ALWAYS get people to like you at a tbl (excluding Steve's TOC outburst). In general, you always take more money that way versus berating the donkey.

Go read "The Case for Christ" by Lee Strobel, then talk. Furthermore, when Judas hung himself, the eleven apostles had 2 candidates draw lots (sticks) to decide who would be the 12th apostle--hoping for intervention by God for their decision---i.e. akin to gambling.Everyone believes whatever they want--so get off your high horse and use references not your lame thoughts.Fullhouse7

These have been posted b4, but here were my epiphanies:Reading the standard/classic books on poker, reading Cardplayer, and various blogs like DN, zeejustin's, and others in regards to strategy.At a full tbl (SNG,MTT, etc.), playing far fewer hands (over the long run this turns to approx. 15% of hands dealt).Play various forms of poker to keep the learning curve from going flat by only playing 1 type game.Play aggressively shortstacked, short tbled, heads-up.Know the math--outs, equity, pot odds, implied odds, reverse pot odds.Keep notes on players and utilize tracking software so that I can u

Wrong--you must subtract your initial investment--see my explanation above.Fullhouse7

You answered it--$1MM to make $20MM or $19MM profit. Easy answer: $19MM x .025(1/40)=$475,000. -EV

Online tourney analysis that applies to ALL limits and (aside from B&M tells/online betting patterns) applies to sng's as well . CLick http://www.zeejustin.com/articles.php?art_id=6 or read here. Best analysis I've read in a long time:Inside My Tournament Game [07.20.2005]On Sunday, I entered a $350+28 tournament on Party. The tournament attracted an astounding 2,334 players, and first place prize was just over $171,000. The Stars Sunday tournament was also big, and I decided that since the prize pools were so big, and since I could use a bit of real tournament practice before the upco

Happens all the time. I simply move on and avoid the thought impulse to slam the jerk and going on possible tilt to bust his stack. Never respond to those comments either---mute him if it continues. Play your A game which includes patience.Fullhouse7

I was awarded seat 1 tourney--I'm on time to register and I cant access tourney--15 mins prior to tourney I call customer support and am given a total run around. I hope to win negreanu's protege contest---but IF I CAN"T PLAY OR ALLOWED TO HOW CAN I WIN???Fullhouse7

full tilt poker---play or STFU--2317959--500+30rail me and watch me WINFullhouse7

4 games and ppl taking sides---please. A total of 4 1/2 hours of play!!! Long term, I think DN wins, but presently, way to early to tell. Variance, enuf said.Fullhouse7

As the OP stated, you are the top notch pro. I wouldn't play as originally stated in the OP's hypothetical. I'm DN or Ivey or whatever. I don't need the money and I wouldn't want that over my head. And, yes, someone else would take his money, but I wouldn't want that guilt. This reminds me of the Stu Ungar thread where the tbl took his last money (and it was obvious Stuey was a junkie). Again, under this hypothetical situation, I'm a rich pro and wouldn't want to contribute to some kid's demise.

Not a direct transfer---it's called a wire transfer. Wire transfers are immediately available within 1 hour, based upon business banking hours of said institution.

Obviously situational, however, at a full table math matters more than at a short table or heads up. Short tabled or heads up---then instinct matters more.

Total idiocy--1 game is a crapshoot of who is superior poker player. Wow, go read threads about the big game. Is there a reason it's called the "series"--baseball or poker??? Ohh, there's a thing called variance. They need to play multiple games. Even Beal in challenging the big game knew that.Fullhouse7

Just saying---big controversy and multiple posts on 2 short games totalling 30 minutes. Don't exploit 45K loss (??) into some big deal, when bragging about some 300K deposit. That's all---ohh, I lost to doucheclown and I'll bust this group of 20-somethings. It is a marketing ploy---damn, wake up. I respect DN's play and successes, but I'm not hoodwinked by this at all. PERIOD

Take a break from poker---smell the roses. You'll play better from a short break. Playing scared or steamed is best way to lose more.Fullhouse7

jopke right???? Total poker skill to wait it out---lmao

You missed Tuan Le---is this a serious request for information---lmao

See this before you decide---it's not all fun and games---done with this thread: http://www.pokerbustouts.com/content.php Yes it can be done, but odds are absolutely not in your favor.Fullhouse 7

Oops my bad--it was Laak--I'm not supercomputer man. Still read Sklansky only if you made it through high school. Otherwise you have to read it, like me, three times---or never play and then you're heads up the winner.Fullhouse7 :wall: :shock:

Stop smoking the crack--search/read previous posts. OK, I'll fall for this one---read Sklansky's THE THEORY OF POKER. And yes, Flack beat the super computer.Fullhouse7

Getting a poker table and hoping ppl stop padding their post counts. Already have the 11.5 oz clap chips. Oh, and more winning hands and PATIENCE to play donks.
