Thanks for the tip but someone in IT at my company thinks poker isn't "work related."Put your mouse pointer over the words "short-stack play" above.

Am I missing something obvious? What is so bad about this hand??One guy flops a set... the other flops top pair with a queen kicker, along with the nut flush draw... huge hands for both of them.And a guy that calls pre-flop raises out of position with garbage.Gotta love playing against a guy who will go to the felt with top pair.Here's a puke worthy hand, notice the guy in seat 2![]()
I kid you not that multiple footballguys have met up with me and partied out here and made me promise to not share anything with the boardI'm really not getting enough vegas stories out of this thread.
The guy in seat 2 is FastEddie from the boards here who is going pro in Vegas soon and the guy that transferred me the funds. The reason I called with the suited gap connectors is because I knew enough about the original raiser to know he was hammering my blinds all night with complete garbage. This was by far the best blind hand I had seen after 45 minutes of sitting at the table so I called and was hoping to hit big, if I was going to fold all night then I would have not played poker.Am I missing something obvious?

And what about the guy in seat 2? He folds before the flop, doesn't he?

I personally have more success at Poker Stars than anywhere else. The ECheck system they have is pretty good.Hey guys, just curious, dont mean to clutter the thread too much but i searched and could find much info. What poker site would you guys recommend? Never played online for real money if that makes any difference. If ya want just shoot me a pm instead of a reply here to keep it clear in this thread.
I'll give you a brief overview of Stars and Tilt as soon as I'm done with my tourneyHey guys, just curious, dont mean to clutter the thread too much but i searched and could find much info.

Pokerstars, go under tourneys, go under regular, make sure you DON'T have "show registering/upcoming only" checked, sort them by date and look for the 'Nightly Hundred Grand' which started at Dec 20 21:00.ORGo to 'requests' then go to 'find a player' and search for 'jwvdcw'.can we watch this?
haha, nah....for as weird as I can act online sometime, I'm as emotionless as anyone at a live poker table win or lose..jwvdcw said, "OH ICY ICY POTS!!"Do you ever do this live?
Well like I said ive never played online before, as it is now I play live cash game at my local seminole hard rock. I play $1/$2 no limit holdem. Without saying for sure Id guess Ill probably start out around there online, maybe going slightly higher or lower to see what game I like initially. As for how much Ill deposit, Im guessing itll be a max of $500 initially, Im not a huge stakes player, I just enjoy the game but depending on how well I do online I could see myself upping the stakes as time passes. I would like to begin to play tournaments as well, would probably start at small buy in torneys to get a feel for them since Ive only played cash games so far. If theres anything else I can add let me know, appreciate it. Hope youre still pushing strong in the tourneymlbnfl, Do me a favor and briefly describe what you're looking for in a poker site, what limits you'll play, how much you'll desposit, what games you play, and any other info....it'll help me give you the best recommendation
would be interested in thoughts on this hand btw...obviously it worked out great for me and considering what he had I played it optimally. But if he hits an ace on river I probably wanna kill myself. We were such big stacks and he raised 4xBB preflop....I was pretty scared. Does everyone here call if he pushes on river too? Do you think it would've been best to push river myself since that way we'll get all of JJ's money and we would've called anyway if he ends up having KK or AA.Wow! He really really played his hand strongly there.PokerStars Game #13998300863: Tournament #70317438, $150+$12 Hold'em No Limit - Level XVIII (2000/4000) - 2007/12/21 - 01:55:20 (ET)Table '70317438 9' 9-max Seat #7 is the buttonSeat 1: DeuceBuster (70782 in chips) Seat 3: Charbarj41 (62400 in chips) Seat 4: JOKER181 (282713 in chips) Seat 5: Diablo VT (49346 in chips) Seat 7: EARLBRY (113241 in chips) Seat 8: jwvdcw (194094 in chips) DeuceBuster: posts the ante 200Charbarj41: posts the ante 200JOKER181: posts the ante 200Diablo VT: posts the ante 200EARLBRY: posts the ante 200jwvdcw: posts the ante 200jwvdcw: posts small blind 2000DeuceBuster: posts big blind 4000*** HOLE CARDS ***Dealt to jwvdcw [Qc Qd]Charbarj41: folds JOKER181: raises 12000 to 16000Diablo VT: folds EARLBRY: folds jwvdcw: calls 14000DeuceBuster: folds *** FLOP *** [2d 2c 3c]jwvdcw: checks JOKER181: bets 24000jwvdcw: calls 24000*** TURN *** [2d 2c 3c] [Td]jwvdcw: checks JOKER181: bets 40000jwvdcw: calls 40000*** RIVER *** [2d 2c 3c Td] [3d]jwvdcw: checks JOKER181: checks *** SHOW DOWN ***jwvdcw: shows [Qc Qd] (two pair, Queens and Threes)JOKER181: mucks hand jwvdcw collected 165200 from potjwvdcw said, "POTS OF PURE 100% ICE, MY FRIEND"*** SUMMARY ***Total pot 165200 | Rake 0 Board [2d 2c 3c Td 3d]Seat 1: DeuceBuster (big blind) folded before FlopSeat 3: Charbarj41 folded before Flop (didn't bet)Seat 4: JOKER181 mucked [Jc Ad]Seat 5: Diablo VT folded before Flop (didn't bet)Seat 7: EARLBRY (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)Seat 8: jwvdcw (small blind) showed [Qc Qd] and won (165200) with two pair, Queens and Threes
I'm just getting back into tourneys now. I'm going to start playing these as much as possible. I've won a few big ones before, and IIRC I won this exact tourney in January of 2005...although it only paid $15K or so, so either it had much less participants than it does now or I'm mistaken and thinking of a different tourney.Do you play in this nightly $100,000 often, and, if so, what's your highest finish?

LOL....I'm not downplaying winning $15K by any means. I'm just saying that since this tourney pays $25K for 1st that might mean I'm thinking of a different tourney. Trust me, I'd be more than happy to win $15K.I'm just getting back into tourneys now. I'm going to start playing these as much as possible.
