Re: Mountaineer Trip Report- WV
Oh man... I need to get there and get my roll going. The more I keep hearing how bad it is (and each story tops the next) I start drooling.

Stupid freezing rain kept me away tonight... but I wanted to go. On top of that, I didn't know about stepping foot in WV after Pitt took the National Champioinship away from WVU.
At any rate, I'd...

Re: Mountaineer Trip Report- WV
I'm pumped that they aren't going to be as smokey. To be honest it was a big reason for me not wanting to go back there.
I see an interest list there typically for at least a 5/10 Limit game,...

Re: Is there logic behind this rule??
It's ot a yes or no thing. There is certain dialogue in certain situations that is just not acceptable. Heads up, anything goes, basically. I've cut deals, made the guy pay to see one of my cards,...

Re: some omaha (&HL) questions
I didn't. I get confused since I'm new here and such.
But I do love me some Omaha. I play in a lot of the tournies on Pokerstars. Lots of fish and simple strategy can get you pretty consistent...

Re: Another \"Am I a D-bag\" thread
Just stop being a nit, and throw that big 5-spot out there. I'll tip $5 on a 200-300 dollar pot at the 1/2NL table.
Give people less to bitch about, and they will stop bitching!...

Re: Ruling needed, I feel dirty (Winstar obv)
Pretty much ANY casino you have to show both cards at showodown to be eligible for any part of the pot. If you are playing in a live casino, and don't know this, you deserve to lose your money......

I'd have probably hung in there for a few more hands, and a few more KO's...
Then again, I have a strong understanding of M, stack size, and tourney strategy. Thanks Harrington on Hold Em!

Re: Ruling needed, I feel dirty (Winstar obv)
I had a situation like that pop up in a 5/5 game that I was playing. Lots of action going to the river, and at showdown, the one guy says "Trip Kings". The other guy mucks his hand in disgust,...

Re: Standard or foolish?
You overplayed your hand... If you are the type of player to push it in with nothing but a naked draw with 1 card to come... I'd love for you to play in my game.
Not that good, kiddo.

Re: House rental Las Vegas?
VRBO.com is where I got my place for the WSOP. They have decent 3-4 bedroom places there for around 2000/month... A lot cheaper than most hotels if you are splitting it with a few people.

Re: a matter of attitudes
True story... One of the big reasons that I prefer "other" poker games is that I don't feel that many players are as good.
