Probably my former roommate.I think it was a brain fart and he realized his mistake right away. At least he was in the hand. I hate it when guys who fold pre flop blurt out "can I have my cards back" or "why did I fold" after the flop comes out. One time at my local casino I 4 bet pre flop with pocket aces and had one caller. Flop was K-K-5 and some jackass at the table said "I can't believe I folded a king!". I was pissed, but I wasn't sure if caller heard him so I didn't bring it up. They guy beat me with Ace King, knowing I couldn't of had a King if he heard the guy. Super bs
Right. I actually think this was a genuine mistake on his part (not him whining, but him whining without realizing first position was still in the hand).Agreed, but he also shut it down pretty quickly when he realized he screwed up.
Sometimes it's not the topic that makes it bad but a person posting in it.Now that there is a political forum, poker threads definitely in the running for the worst in the FFA.
fixed my post...Stud high. Ace high flush on 6th. River 3 for opponent makes a boat and I'm out on a 20k pot.
A player doesn’t have to say anything by rule. A dealer will tell you if you ask. I don’t think there is a rule if the player lies or miscounts.What are the exact rules / etiquette on a player getting a count on someone else's stack that hasn't been pushed in?
Does the other player have to give them a count? Will the dealer count if the player doesn't? What if the player gives them an inaccurate count?
Just curious.
The dealer is supposed to count and correct. That would be a big no-no if a player intentionally misrepresented his stack. In fact, you have to stack your chips with larger chips in front or on top.A player doesn’t have to say anything by rule. A dealer will tell you if you ask.

Last year was very good also.My poker viewing has dropped off over the last few years. This has been the most enjoyable WSOP for me in years.
Cynn calling that shove with the pair of fours would've been the most incredible final hand of a WSOP ever.the prior bluffs by both are really getting into their heads now.
Miles showing 10x more gutsCynn also getting hit in the face with the deck, but clearly the better player.
They just mentioned that Miles was up late railing Shaun Deeb, WTF.

It’s only dumb when you get caught. He played that way a majority of heads up.Dumb. Not even Tebow could him there
It is fairly shocking that with the amount of world class players on this site that none of taking home the Main Event yetEmbarrassing for poker. Though enduring past 7000+ foes is an estimable feat, easily the two worst heads-up players in WSOP history. More tells than a Swiss phone book, both of em, and the broadcast team fumbling over their avoidance of saying so was almost as shameful.
it's always gonna be a longshot, but a lot of it's the pro's own fault for lobbying for hedges & democratization (flattened pay structure, adding chips & the levels dont even seem to matter anymore). pay only the top 100 and tighten/heighten the blinds, things might change. all credit to the finalists, though - final-tabling is an incredible feat no matter what. but the heads-up was pure Thursday nite in Albuquerque pokerIt is fairly shocking that with the amount of world class players on this site that none of taking home the Main Event yet
Couldn't stand him. And then the guy blows by Cynn after Cynn wins.And yeah I just couldn't root for the Tebow guy. Nice story and all and good for him but not my bag.

Huh? Did you mean "blows"?Couldn't stand him. And then the guy blows by Cynn after Cynn wins.
I watched it. He bristled and blew right by him. He calmed down soon after. Guy couldn't stop mugging and yapping when he was running hot.Huh? Did you mean "blows"?

No doubt.Cynn also getting hit in the face with the deck, but clearly the better player.
Cynn's the better player, why risk the tournament if it's an iffy situation?Miles showing 10x more guts
Yeah, Miles only chance to win was to play more gutsy.Cynn's the better player, why risk the tournament if it's an iffy situation?
