Re: Players in Your Game Getting Angry...
Psychologically speaking, this kind of behavior is a recognition by the offending player that he played like an idiot. He's projecting.

Too funny: Home Game Jaw-Dropper
Frankly, in any situation, I'm not one to lament my bad beats. They're just variance. I'm actually posting this one to be laughed at because I was drooling at the thought of taking all the villain's...

Re: Can someone explain?
I bet everyone here understands and empathizes with your thinking. I know I do. You just can't let your frustration with somebody else's bad play dictate your play. This happens most often as you sit...

Re: Nut Straight - $1.25 Double Stack
I will humbly point out that Dunkman is clearly beyond my level in terms of his thinking, although I'm pleased that we came to the same answer. I'm close!
Shove the turn! I'm assuming villain will...

Re: Nut Straight - $1.25 Double Stack
I should amend my last statement. You don't really need to take a deep breath. You just have to pause and think about it long enough to make villain think it's a call that requires any thought.

Re: Nut Straight - $1.25 Double Stack
This is where I think a little acting can be useful - not too much mind you. You don't want to make villain suspicious, but I think if you smooth call, villain will check next round. If you...

Re: AJ - Call/Fold?
Definitely a tough decision because you just see so often people shoving when they hit top pair in this situation and not wanting anymore cards to come. So it's between top pair, in which case you...

Early on in tournaments I find myself very entertained by the numerous limpers and the elation you get to see (or the conceit in more cases) of the person who takes down the pot thinking that they're...

Re: Why are MTT\'s $$ so top heavy
