Re:July 15th Update
^^THIS It's mind boggling that the 2nd largest poker site has major problems such as missing flop/hole cards that makes it impossible to play and after a whole week and several new update patches, they STILL can't fix the problem. Un-freaking-believable.

Re:Tough spot in Stars $100 Freezeout
lol I duno, I'm not that good, that's why I asked for advice in the first place. Reraising there seemed to be right at the time., I know 4bet/folding would be horrible but there's still so much of a stack to play with if I made the "right" laydown to KK/AA. I guess smooth calling that 3bet and proceeding cautiously would be reasonable too (maybe a better option') but I'd have to play out of position and sucks to be outplayed if a scary board came. btw, I did ended up calling.. I hate to gamble in that spot with so much play left but after that 4 bet I pretty much ...

Re:Tough spot in Stars $100 Freezeout
That's exactly what I thought when I was considering folding the hand.. if I fold, I would still have a very playable stack. I figure his range to be JJ+, AK, maybe a little bit wider considering my image at that point' I was also considering calling because of very good odds & the likelihood that I could be ahead too

Tough spot in Stars $100 Freezeout
7handed, 20 players left, Royalkc seems decent and somewhat tight (19% VIP), I've been playing tight all tourney but been noticeably loosened up when I had the chip lead (called 10x bb button shove w/ 3's in bb may look to be gambly, open shoved in sb w/ 62d against 7bb stack in bb). So I make a standard raise and he makes a small reraise on the button which might look like a resteal. He knows that I know that I don't want to get involved with him unless I have a real hand considering we're both the big stacks so assuming he's a pretty decent player, he is capable of ...

Re(3): Pokerstars Wishlist
Yeah, I know it's resizable, but I was asking for it to be shrinkable (making the lobby bigger doesn't do much for me, I only want it to be smaller so I can make everything easier to see when playing on a lot of tables). I guess having to flip up cards when all-in depends on the casino. I think most casino's don't require this but for instance, the cash games at the Bellagio requires you to flip it up while all-in. I guess it's a preference thing, and for me I'd prefer it to be flipped up as it adds some excitement. That's part of the reason why I prefer playing cash games more at FT but if ...

Re(1): Pokerstars Wishlist
-Shrinkable lobby windows -Putting guarantees on tourneys like the $50 1Add-on/1RB and the $20RB. -Putting up a Major tourney for Saturdays (kinda like FT's $60k guranteed $109 freezeout) but bigger and deep stack structure (I like the 5k chips, 15min DS idea previously mentioned) -When I used to play cash games, I've always liked FT's feature where the cards are flipped up when going in an all-in showdown. Would like to see PS have that feature, makes it a bit more exciting

Re(2): Sick sb vs bb hand in Stars Nightly 100k
If this happened live, I'd get my chips in there faster than Hellmuth would like he did w/ top 2 KQ vs Greenstein's trip Q's on HSP, lol.

Re(2): Tough spot.. what to do here?
"Checked around. They limped. Why give them a freeroll to beat you. If a scare card comes out, you have no information where you stand. I don't understand why you don't take a shot at the pot with the NUTZ on the flop." I assume I am way ahead in the hand so I am not worried about giving a free card and I am willing to slowplay to disguise my strength of my hand. I don't see how checking on that board is going to give someone a shot at beating me. Worst case scenario someone has KQ/QJ or something and hits the higher straight than so be it. Argument for leading out there I guess would be to ...

Tough spot.. what to do here?
"Tough spot" in the Stars Nightly 100k I guess.. down to just under 200 players left, top 90 gets paid. Table's been fairly tight. I've been playing tight and I assume I have a fairly tight image as well.

Re(5): sunday mill. #1pen out and now they talking deal
If you watch the replays again, I asked everyone for a deal but admiral was the only one that didn't respond so I went ahead and played the hand. The time right before we did make a deal, everyone said "ok" or "yes" to pause for a deal so I open folded an Ace on the button.
