Re: UBT Blackjack on CBS.

FWIW, the UBT pros are made up of UltimateBet poker pros and a set of blackjack tournament pros. The poker round happened to determine the best combined BJ/poker player, theoretically. There were 3...

Re: Cheating at AP, updated cliff notes

Re: Weekend of October 12 games and last week\'s report

The point of this thread is (I would assume) that there are people that prefer to play high stakes games at Potawatomi, but don't want to drive up there (or make plans) if they don't think the game...

Re: Straddling 3 handed

Are people sure it's right to do it even in limit poker? Stox's table said it's only right to raise your button on about 40% of the hands unimpeded. Is the added position really worth the other...

Re: River decision in a big pot
