I didn't see it posted anywhere else, but Bluff is reporting that AB has the cleaned the corp out of their 10 mil. He was down 3 mil Super Bowl weekend, so for the last couple of weeks he's plus 7 mil.

good response Pupsta, I wish I had this info the first time I played live.Also, I second the Mirage, it's my favorite place to play.

I've played at the Plaza when in Vegas. It's kind of a dump and off strip, but it always has an O8 game going, and the players weren't very well when I was there.

Your call on the flop is the move that should be debated, I think a flat call on the turn is the best play. On the flop, you have nothing except the nut low draw and a 10 high flush draw. Not knowing the players, I would guess that the BB could have A2 of diamonds, and you could be drawing for 1/4 of the pot. If i am playing a naked low draw, i like to have some kind of protection (a 3 or a 4). So a fold to a pot sized bet on the flop could be the correct move, it's likely that at least one other player has A2 and a better flush draw. That being said, since you saw the turn, I think ther

Ribbo's blog a while back mentioned that he's writing a PLO8 book, but he hasn't mentioned it in a while.

Also, I've found the playing Omaha 8 and Stud 8 has made my hold em game much better when I do play, I'm not sure why, maybe by reinforcing the power of position and teaching me to tighten up preflop.

I'll give the kid a serious answer. I play almost exclusively Omaha 8, limit and pot limit. I still play some NLHE tourney's from time to time, but I've found my profit to be higher and more consistent playing Omaha 8.

Do they always spread O8 at resorts? I live in Chicago, and stopped in there once about a month ago, and ended up not even playing a hand because they had a tournament going that I wasn't interested in playing, and the side games didn't look very good.

Can't complain

I had the same problem in the past, just make sure you delete all of the programs from your laptop and you should be okay. My company is pretty anal about computer use while I'm at work, but I've played every time I've been on the road and no one has said anything.

I'm a fan of Bodog. The tournaments usually have a smaller field compared to party, you'll see more in the 200-400 player range, and a variety of buy-ins. They also offer a lot of guaranteed tournaments, that usually have a nice sized over lay. They don't have a lot of variety though, it's all hold em.

burning a card makes no statistical difference. the reason it is done is to prevent card markers from having the advantage of knowing what card will be turned next.

A good friend of mine just started playing poker about a year ago. He asked me to teach him about the game and I happily obliged. He called me tonight to discuss a tournament he played in. While discussing one hand, the following conversation took place. Him: Middle position raised my blind to 300 and I had cowboys.Me: You had what?!?Him: Cowboys, pocket kings.Me: I know what they are, just don't call them cowobys.Him: Why not?Me: I don't know, it just annoys me. It was at this point I remembered Adam Shoenfeld during the WSOP talking about how he hated nicknames for hands, and I real

I've had it three times, including yesterday. And in yesterday's hand, the flop was QQQ, I checked and my opponent bet, I reraised and he called all in with J235.

don't see that very often
