Excellent advice. Now I just need my opponents to start mucking their cards while still putting money into the pot.

Re: ? on Caesars AC diamond lounge
Is it even possible to qualify for diamond playing poker only? I've worked up about $300 in comps, but i don't think I'll ever get above gold.

Re: ST louis MO area poker.
I've tried the President twice. I hate it.
I don't like the buy-in or the way the game plays. The atmosphere sucks and I hate their tables.

Re: Poker commentators: Best and worst?
By the way, a question:
I love televised poker. I set up my TiVo to record anything poker-related. My problem is that I get mostly non-shows (e.g. blacked-out PPV events). I stumble across more...

Re: AQ (less interesting flop) $10 MTT
Folks, Hero didn't check the flop. BB check-folded. Hero bet out.

Re: Getting desperate/ fancy to soon?
Nothing wrong with a push based on stack size vs. blinds in any of the scenarios, but why in the hell do you want to get it all in in hands 1 & 3? These are bottom 20% (or worse) hands. Yes, you...

Re: The Slots
I don't understand playing slots online or live. It's just a waste of money. Of course for some people slots is less of a waste of money than poker.
