  1. They should have went with a different Phil.....Phil Laak. He would have been there anyway to watch Jennifer Tilley play and he was entertaining on the short lived Hollywood Home Game they had on E! a while back.
  2. biggest I have had--- started with $35 end up with $260 playing $2/$4 razz at Full tiltBiggest I've seen---some guy goofing around put $1500 in for .04/.08 omaha hi/lo on pokerstars
  3. Since the government and the taxpayers pay for schools the only way you could pay teachers more for doing a "better job" would be for people to have to pay tuition or raise each local cities property tax. Unfortunately schools are at the mercy of government on how much they get. I agree with some of the others that the voucher system is a bad idea. People will use it for the wrong reasons i.e. an athlete moving schools to go to a better sports school because the school he is at is a "bad school."Another bad thing that could result from deciding which schools get money based on performance c
  4. I currently am a teacher and have taught for about 12 years counting the years I was an aide and substitute. I love what I do and agree with you that the educational system is in bad shape. The main reason is the state of our society. When I was in school teachers got more respect and got support from the parents. Now the parents aren't wanting to take as much responsibility for the way their children act and perform. Another problem is the government funding schools. They send more money to schools in larger cities. They also could fund education better if they do what they say they ar
  5. The only thing that happens when you make goood laydowns and the flop hits is to encourage you to make poor choices on what to play. If you think of it as 8 out of my 10 laydowns miss the flop then I am saving more money then what I would have won playing something I normally wouldn't
  6. I think the longer you play the easier "tilt" situations are to deal with. If you can eliminate the the length of time you are amd it isn't as damging to you. IMO poker has 2 phases.....(1) good runs of cards and (2) bad runs of cards. How you handle each situation will decide if you are profitable. For example, if you win a lot of money on a good run and get a potential tiltable hand you decide if you are going to be profitable by how you react. If you stay in tilt mode it won't matter how much you won earlier you wil lose it. If you handle the situation well and don't steam you can st
  7. He didn't have a pair after the flop High card was a Queen. I don't know if he put me on a A-something or a Q-something hoping to see an over card on the turn to see if it would scare me out but not for sure why he called with out a pair.
  8. Playing in a sng last night I had pocket 6's UTG and did a standard raise and eliminated everyone but one player. The flop came out 1 spades and a 6 to get my set. Player checks to me and I bet about 3/4 of the pot on the flop to test the waters and he calls.Turn comes out low spade. He checks and I bet about 1/2 the pot this time.Last card comes out a 3rd spade and he checks to me. I didn't think he had the flush but I was curious about what he had and I just checked and he flipped over the nut flush.He said he was surprised I din't bet again, but I mainly checked to see shat he was callin
  9. My question is what do you consider to be a tougher person to play against:(A) A person who is book smart. Person who reads books, plays by the books, and things of that nature. or(B) A person who just picks up the game and seems to be more of a natural at it. Plays on instinct, doesn't do all the prescribed moves.Another part to this is which one do you consider yourself and which one would you rather be if you had to choose between the two. I know a lot of people consider themselves both but if you had to pick one of the choices what would you choose.
  10. I think you need to be a more selective chaser. 1. Do the players that are capping out usually have anything?2. If I catch my card to get my flush or straight draw are their bigger staright or flush draw possibilities out there.....nothing worse then catching your card and someone having bigger staright or flush.3. As was said earlier.....when you think negative bad things happen.4. Tighten up a little bit and drill some of the chasers when you DO have the nuts. This might slow them down a little bit when you are in the pots.5. You may need to bump up a level to get away form the insane
  11. Playing rebuys are the easiest way to get sucked out on. You have to play uber-tight until the rebuy period is over and try to stay out of situations that will cause you to have to rebuy. When I play in rebuy tourneys in casinos I keep enough rebuy money to rebuy twice...hopefully once during the first hour and one for the add on during the break. I see lots of people that chase terribly the first hour because they can rebuy and go through 4 or 5 rebuys in the first hour. You take advantage of these players the second hour becuase you have established a solid tight player image, Plus afet
  12. I think it depnds on a lot of things:1. How many players are in before you?2. Are they suited/connected and if you flop four to a flush or open ended straight, what cards can beat you and how much you are willing to spend to see the rest?3. What is your table image?4. How much will lsoing the 1/2 bet hurt you if you call?5. If its a tourney: how early is it?6. Do you defend your blinds all of the time? If you do this people may pick up on it and limp in some to get you to invest more money?After all that, I suggest you just mix it up unless you want the tight player image. If you are wantin
  13. I used to be SAG(stupid aggressive) when on tilt.Now I am over 50% TAG, but I mix it up a lot so no one can label me. I guess it depends on which way the wind is blowing and how I am doing for the day.
  14. I have won moneyon both sites. I started playing at Pokerstars pre-Moneymaker era and if you are looking for good variety in game options try pokerstars.If you are looking for easier money but bad beats from weaker players go to PartyThe main reason I stay with Pokerstars though is the tournament structure....starting out at $1500 instead of the $800. Plus they have the deepstack tourneys.
  15. I think if you just call with 5-5 and do a check raise after the flop you might be able to chase more people out. Its hard to get people to fold in limit preflop. Plus with a 5-5 and if you miss the flop any over card on the board can beat you which means you have more difficult decisions to make. After hitting on the flop the check-raise should put flags up for the other players that you caught something they may not want to chase against.
