  1. If saying "the flush just got there" when the third suited card hits the board is unfairly influencing the game because someone may have over looked their draw and your comment brings it to their attention when their about to fold.Isn't it fair to say that by declaring how much is in the pot you may be influencing a player that was about to fold because he miscalculated what was in the pot, to now call because your comment made them aware of their error?
  2. THat's what I want to know. On High Stakes Eli Elezra asked the dealer to spread the pot and another player siad something about him not being able to ask for a count and he said he only asked that the pot be spread so he could guestamate it. That's what got me wondering if it was an actual rule.It should be. It unnecessarily slows down action. Players should have a pretty good idea how much is in the pot if they're in the hand.
  3. Is it correct that a player can not ask how much is in the pot while the hand is in progress? That it's the players responsability to keep up with what's in the pot?If this is true, is it also the case in pot limit games unless the player is betting the pot and needs to know what to match?
  4. I understand some people will not like the idea. It's going to be a grind. This game will be about patience and mental stamina which aren't some players strong points.
  5. We are planning on having a second table. For people that don't want to play in the marathon game, can't commit to the time, or bust out.
  6. Yes, a freeze out tournament with no blind raises.The idea is for it to be a marathon game. Not 4 days, but definitely a long time. The proposed start time is 12 noon on a Saturday. We usually start our regular games at 7 pm and the run until 4 or 5 am.We're just trying to do something different. Host call that nights game which could be Hold'em, Razz, Stud, Omaha, or a mix. Some nights we play Limit, NL, or PL. Maybe we should consider a blind raise after half the table has been eliminated.
  7. Why this format? Why do I want feedback? Why what?
  8. My groups regular cash game is a 1:1 rotation of NL Hold'em and Pot Limit Omaha 8. We play with $1-$2 blinds and the buy in is $100-$200. Players may come and go as they please cashing out at anytime and buying in as often as their bank roll will allow.One of our players would like to host a game with with a slightly different twist. I thought the format was simple, but since throwing the idea out there to the group we have gotten a lot of suggestions that I think are over complicating things.The idea is to have 10 players play our normal game. 1:1, $1-$2 blinds, $200 buy in. The differen
  9. The point of what those versus say isn't to make someone not take pride in what they do or be self confident. But rather beware the pitfalls of pride. Pride can be a great motivating factor, but all to often it can become and out of control monster that causes you to do things that you normally wouldn't but do. But you do simply for the sake of your pride.Example: Sometimes you bluff someone off a big pot and show him the bluff. He plays personal poker with you the rest of the night. Not smart, but that's what pride does.
  10. This is what McManus himself had to say about this."I just want to make clear to everyone that I didn't tell Ellix Powers he was disrespecting the game simply because he bet in the dark a couple of times. He'd just spent two hours aggressively taunting the likes of T.J. Clouier and David Chiu, two of the best players ever. (No, he wasn't taunting me, in case you were wondering.) He also left the table during the action several times, muttering to himself, claiming anyone who wanted to finish higher than sixth was crazy or greedy. He also was betting in the dark on a regular basis. The last thi
  11. Tbone you were right, I was talking about live tournaments. Sorry for not clarifying. For the most part I do play like you were saying. I'm aggressive early on because the blinds are cheap and most people play super tight in the beggining until they can get a feel for the table. As the tournament wears on I get a read for the table and know who I can push off their bet and who I can't.In the situation I mentione in my original post, half way through the tournament I was one of the top players in the chip count. But with the accelerated blind structure and a bad run of cards I quickly went
  12. Your problem is a very common one among new players that read books that teach "super aggressive" play. Aggressive in your face poker is one of the best ways to play poker but certainly not the only one. But like any other form of poker you have to know how to play it. You're correct to raise with big hands and then to bet out after the flop even when you don't hit it but you have to know how to get away from hands when people play back at you as well.I raise and bet out a lot and win a lot of uncontested pots. But people also play back at me a lot because of this. They know that I will r
  13. In the last few tournaments I've played they have ended in similar fashion. I'll build a decent size stack and make it late into the tournament. Then the cards will just get cold. I mean 9 2, J 3, etc. With the blinds and the antes going up it doesn't take a long run of these hands to eat into my stack. Then I find myself in an all in or not situation. I eventually have to go all in with a moderate hand, Ax Kx suited, K 10,etc. The last 3 tournaments I have played have ended this way and I've found myself just out of the money each time.What advice could any of you give to get me past t
  14. I've been screaming at my TV about this for a long time.I understand why they edit it down. It would be boring for the average viewer to watch all of the hands that get no action. But if you're going to edit it give the hands numbers and post the hand number in the corner of the screen. Maybe even a clock so we know how much time has passed as well. That way we know how many hands have gone by and how long these guys have been at the table.This wouldn't be difficult to add to the programs and would give poker nuts like myself a little more of the information I would like to know.
  15. I belive in luck. Everyone wins a hand from time to time that they think they're making the right call only to find out they're behind and the right card comes to catch them up. But truthfully it is just the numbers working themselves out.I forget which poker book it was in but it was put best something like this."Good poker players play against luck."You play the numbers and things should work out in the end in your favor.But everyone knows someone that seems to catch whenever they're behind. That calls with a miracle draw and gets there more often then not. Some people may be blessed wit
