In poker, ANYTHING could be reversed. Anyone could pretend they have a hand and have nothing, and anyone could pretend they have nothing and just limp in with the best hand in the game. Anything is possible, I am like Indiana Jones, if you guys have seen those movies.. I make things up as I go.

Wow, very nice.

Wow. Nice flop. I've never seen that happen before.

You should kick yourself for losing, but don't kick yourself for playing wrongly. I'd bet half the pot and wait to see if you have any callers. If you do, then slow down because either they are bluffing or they have something. It is also good to raise preflop. Raise a high amount preflop and then again on the flop, if someone bites both times, you have to take them serious and if worst comes to worst, lay down your cards, don't dig yourself deeper. Of course it depends on who you're playing against. If you're playing an idiot who raises on anything than keep going, but if your opponent is tigh

Sorry for being a noob, but what does oesfds stand for?

Thanks for all the feedback. I'm starting to restrict my hands to A 10 or higher. There are few exceptions to this. Some times when I have the big stack I'll play A (suited undercard). The last two times I've caught ace high flushes with A 9 and A 6. Both times when I had the big stack.

This kind of sounds like my friend. He has OCD and wants everything to be perfect. Maybe when he loses a couple hands he loses concentration and starts thinking of his next game. I get that way playing with play chips at times.I'm not into playing for real money just yet and this story really doesn't help me want to jump into it. I like playing with play chips on Party Poker. I'm sick of playing with inexperienced players who go all in with 4 7 haha. So if anyone on these forums wants to play a couple play chip hands with me, send me a personal message.

Ah, thanks for that strategy. I normally played the ace-rags to pair up the ace but you are right, if someone else happens to have an ace you can be sure to be out-kicked. I never thought of playing ace-rags that way.

This is a controversal call. When is it right to play an Ace high before the flop? Say you are dealt [A] [4] unsuited. When is it proper to play it? In my opinion it should be played if your call comes late in play. That way you see what the majority of the others do. If you are raised preflop, it is not a good idea to play the hand. If many people stay in the hand, it is not a good idea to stay in the hand. What are some other suggestions for this hand?

When I get the big stack I typically play hands I normally wouldn't. Connecter cards and suited pockets are both decent hands to play now that you have the big stack. Even though you have the big stack it is still important to play conservative. Knowing when to fold is the key to poker, no matter what stage of the game you are in.

Gratz on the strait flush, I've only gotten 2 of them in my life.
