Re: Temptation Poker @ HG Casino
I was quickly reminded why I quit playing there and went to The Bike or Commerce. Besides the sub-par facilities the staff there was not plesant or helpful. I cut my teeth there and have always...

Re: I feel so dirty...
No hate here, stories like that are why non-poker people think poker players are dirty cheating scumbags. Not saying we should all be "angels" just that we should have some standards and ethics. ...

Re: I feel so dirty...
If you really felt dirty, you would not post a brag about cheating, rather you would post an apology to the Poker Gods. That kind of stuff will get you shanked or hit by a bus. BTW, the people at...

Re: No Car in Vegas
Agree with punk, check for a shuttle. Barring that go with a cab. Bus is still too public and if security/safety is a concern, I would think a cab would be best.

Yes Budblown, tonight at 8pm.
KurtSF... My thinking was, $100 buy-in times 10 is 1000 chips, so every ten tournament chips would be one real dollar. Hence, if I double up to 2000, I essentially...

Re: Which would you choose?
The only time could see knowing the board preflop is when you're dealt one gappers or connected cards. Like someone else mentioned, knowing your set of 3s is coming can still be a negative...

Re: Effective M - Effective BB???
Is this a big MTT or a STT?
In a MTT, if you're down to 7 players, I would probably think less about M and more about the other people's stacks in relation to yours (or Q as Harrington puts it). ...

Re: MTT Red Zone strategy
