  1. The answer to all poker strategy questions is that it totally depends. Please ask a much more specific question next time. We need much more information in order to have an actual discussion.
  2. Yes, you're right... "someone" is very much more less likely to move in with Ax of hearts.Someone please kill this thread.
  3. Worse than loose. Just awful. I wonder if Allen said something to help get the call.
  4. Ya, what a horrid call:<quote> Allen Cunningham Doubles UpKevin Aaronson raises to $170,000. Erik Friberg, Richard Lee and Allen Cunningham make the call. The flop comes Ks5s2h. Lee and Cunningham check. Aaronson bets $400,000 and Friberg calls. Cunningham check raises all-in for $2,255,000 more. Aaronson debates a call and eventually folds. After three minutes, Friberg makes the call. Friberg shows 99. Cunningham shows a flopped set with 55. The turn and river come QQ, and Cunningham doubles up to $6,000,000. After the hand, Friberg is down to $4,200,000.</quote>
  5. Take a look at this photo:I'm a little confused about the denominations of the chips currently in play. My guess is the black/gold are 5K, the orange/yellow are 10K, and the orange/grey are 25K. Anybody know for sure? What happened to the beige colored 25K chips from last year's main event?Also, two of the denominations look WAY too much alike, at least in the photos. It seems like it would be very easy to eye somebody's stack incorrectly, and even easier to hide the bigger chips if one so desired.It looks like they will be coloring out the 5K chips at the end of the current level, so I ho
  6. Yes, HORSE is a limit game. But for some reason, they switch to NLHE once they reach the final table. I think it's dumb, but I guess it's hard to cover HORSE on TV.
  7. There are other reasons to raise: to get a cheaper card on a later street when you are drawing, or to get information about where you're at in the hand.For the OP, this is the best simple advice I can give: Try to play smaller pots with vulnerable hands like top pair or an overpair. Try to play big pots (and get the money in early) with big hands like sets and top 2 pair.
  8. 73 hours is nothing. I have surpassed that every time I have been to vegas. In the original world series of poker, Johnny Moss and Nick the Greek played for like several months straight. I'm not sure how often they took breaks, but I would imagine they did way more than 3 days at a stretch.
  9. The OP didn't ask which sites support Mac (though Full Tilt definitely has a Mac client too, I use it every day).For calculating odds, try this:http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/21054
  10. As I mentioned above, I'm aware of the satellite options once I get to the WSOP. I'm asking about online qualifiers.
  11. The poster before you was talking about playing a 1K single table satellite at the Rio, where the WSOP is taking place... you're talking about Full Tilt Poker online. I'll check into the Monday thing on there, thanks.If I don't get in ahead of time, I will play the live satellites. However, the starting chips in those tourneys make it nearly a total crapshoot, so you have to get pretty lucky if you're gonna try to get in that way. I'd rather keep my total expenditure around 1K or less. Any other ideas?
  12. I'm sure this topic has already been covered, but there are so many sites running so many different kinds of satellites to the WSOP that I'm not sure where to put my efforts. I'm looking for peoples' opinions of the best way to satellite in online. I'm not looking to do it for 1 dollar or anything, I have a bankroll and am willing to invest some time and effort to do it. Please post your opinions on the best value in terms of buyin, chance of winning, and amount of time needed to pull it off.Extra credit for info on sites that are Mac compatible (OnGame sites, FullTilt, Bugsy's Club, etc.).
