This post by gboro... would like it explained more.. While I feel that your best of flop plays would be electing to raise your opponent's bet, I suppose I can see the merit in electing to call in its stead. By doing so, we can first glance upon a turn, which we hope to be a pleasant card for us. In addition, our hand, which is in fact quite strong, appears to our villain to be weak. Such deception! However, while you may convince me, perchance, that your best flop play is the calling option, there is little doubt in the expanses of my mind that your optimal play once we've reached the turn is to raise! Not only does this reap the obvious ... Posted in: Poker Community	AJKHoosier1 Apr 3rd, 2011

Gboro780 FTs LAPC Main Event Yesssssssss! Can finally stop clicking the refresh button on the updates. So excited, can't wait to watch the FT on Thursday. GLGLGLGL Steve n DFish! Such a sick final 6. Posted in: Poker Discussion	AJKHoosier1 Mar 1st, 2011
Am I the only one who loves M.E.T.s? I take it all back - I do kinda love these. Tournies are still prty soft (as long as you pick your spots and avoid a cpl of the most reg-heavy tournies) and although it doesnt do most people any favors equity-wise, it definitely makes things more interesting/fun, especially at the start of the day. it also makes some mid-stakes tournies about 100000x more playable. basically, if you're smart, and stay within your means, METs are dopeness. still think it sucks that theyre taking over the FTOPS with it, just because i'm kind of a purist, but that ftops ME is gonna be absurd.

Go P5ers at the PCA Final Table (Official Final Table Sweat Thread) No one is debating that he was lucky, and if you'll read the other thread all about that 75s vs AK, I wasn't easy on him at all. I just try to be objective regardless of results, or how something looks at first. a) the 32o checked through on the turn. He just RRd pre, cbet the flop, checked the turn (to give up im sure) and bet the river when he got there b) the 82o... to be honest i'm guessing he was really surprised that sowers did anything besides fold or reshove pre there (i know i was), so I don't think his holdings were very relevant given the stacks. given that, you can assume it must ...

Go P5ers at the PCA Final Table (Official Final Table Sweat Thread) This is a really, really poorly applied analogy, but I guess I understand your point... Posted in: Poker Discussion	AJKHoosier1 Jan 16th, 2011
Go P5ers at the PCA Final Table (Official Final Table Sweat Thread) Just like being lucky doesn't make you a good player, it also doesn't make you a bad one. He wasn't getting much slack if any for some plays people perceived as spewy, even those he got lucky on. Of course there are some hands from the FT you could nitpick at also (as someone else said I think maybe he benefitted more from a fuller table, which seems counter-intuitive for such a lag player), but I don't think anyone with a brain would say he played anything but very well for the most part throughout the whole FT.

Go P5ers at the PCA Final Table (Official Final Table Sweat Thread) Congrats to both, and Sowers for a great run! I know Daize got a lot of heat in that other thread (myself included) but obviously he played a great FT. Ship 2milly! Also, coming from someone who never watches poker on TV, while I was at ESPNZone yesterday I was definitely cutting to ESPN2 more than a couple times during the Bulls/NFL games (even though the people I was with tended not to appreciate this). Thought the live coverage was really cool and extremely entertaining. Hope it did well enough to do it again. Posted in: Poker Discussion	AJKHoosier1 Jan 16th, 2011

Today's FTP Update lol - I definitely think some people need to "p the b's" on their emotions in this thread. I'm not against this because I'm a "nicer" or "more benevolent" person than Gags (obviously that's true but totally unrelated). I'm against this because I think it hurts my bottom line - that's all I care about as far as the policies of any poker site, and I'm sure that's all 99.999% of you care about also. I just also happen to think that it hurts everyone else's bottom line too, which means I'm fighting the good fight, and that Gags/Dean are evil! Posted in: Poker Discussion	AJKHoosier1 Jan 12th, 2011
US players who file taxes your help is appreciated Since I'm not an expert on all the technical stuff, and you're probably getting a ton of good advice on all that anyways, I just wanted to say that a lot of financial professionals, be they accountants, investment brokers, even bankers, just flat out do not want to work with online poker players. Whoever you work with, you need to be COMPLETELY up front with them about exactly what you do, and if they aren't happy to be working with you, then find someone else.

Chris Oliver vs Harry Kaczka (PCA Main) First off, no, you should not base your opinions on a player on their results. Second off, the whole point of this thread is that one hand. And you just said yourself it probably wasn't good. So YES that means he SHOULD probably change something. The thread is about one hand, and no it's not an "omg at least he has the balls to pull the trigger here!" spot. 99.9% of the time you'll be better off not having the "balls" to shove 7-high in this spot. For all this "haters gonna hate" talk I think people don't realize there are a lot of very, very good players in this thread who are saying the ...

Chris Oliver vs Harry Kaczka (PCA Main) Maybe WSOP' Idk how old Chris is. Also, you said anyone who posted in this thread. Can I take doubledave'' Posted in: Poker Discussion	AJKHoosier1 Jan 11th, 2011
Chris Oliver vs Harry Kaczka (PCA Main) Probably have to take you up on this. For the record I wasn't "hating" on anyone - if I thought I was 'hating' every time I look at someone play a hand and think it's either bizarre or terrible, then I've probably 'hated on' myself like 5 times in the last week. We all get carried away sometimes... But yeah I'd definitely be down to try to work out a crossbook, though it'll be hard to coordinate. I'll hit you up later this week.

Today's FTP Update The percentage of "fish" in any given FTP tourney that are rich whales who have a ton of money to spend has to be increddddibly small. The VASTTT majority of truly bad players in these tournies are either satelliters or rando's taking a shot above their roll for fun. The economy has nothing to do with it - this isn't the main event at the WSOP or something, where a bunch of rich guys with no clue just flock to it regardless. It's a small-mid stakes online tournament series. The fish ain't rich. If you're right and it is just this one week and this one FTOPS, then I suppose it's something ...

Today's FTP Update This kind of short-sightedness is why I know it's impossible. Don't get me wrong, I understand what a "must play" tournament is, but "liking money" is exactly why you should be against this new policy long-term. Posted in: Poker Discussion	AJKHoosier1 Jan 11th, 2011
Chris Oliver vs Harry Kaczka (PCA Main) didnt go this yr Posted in: Poker Discussion	AJKHoosier1 Jan 11th, 2011
Today's FTP Update You had me until the brag at the end, Andres. = ) This is absolutely HORRIBLE whether you have the roll or not. What a complete nightmare of an idea. This is the same kind of stupid gimmick as the "cashout" format, and like that, should be good ONLY for a couple random tournies a day, and 1-2 FTOPS per series. Instead, they've literally ruined an entire FTOPS. Miserable. Would love it if we could actually get people together to boycott this FTOPS, but I'm sure it's impossible. Some of us just want to play poker, for fuck's sake. Posted in: Poker Discussion	AJKHoosier1 Jan 11th, 2011

the rudest thing I've ever seen. considering how most of you guys would be acting if this was in person and not an internet forum, i'd be willing to bet that this actually is the rudest thing she's ever seen Posted in: Poker Discussion	AJKHoosier1 Nov 24th, 2010
tomorrows FTOPS "brawl" To me this is the MUCH bigger sin - I think complaining about the $129 KO instead of a $256 KO or w/e is reallllly nitpicky, but running a heads up on a Sunday with two other FTOPS is awful . All major heads-up tournies should be run at lower-volume times (i.e. m-w afternoon, or th-sat night). The difficulty of playing heads-up while on 9+ other tables is why I always skip these tournies on Sundays, but obviously the FTOPS is a can't-miss tourney.

Here ye, here ye, MTTers. Yes, but how do we KNOW it's a hypothetical question' I'm sure he'd make the same post if it was a rhetorical question, or even a trivia question. The point is in online poker forums, you never KNOW, you just do the best with the information you're given. Posted in: Poker Discussion	AJKHoosier1 Oct 3rd, 2010
Do most pros hate poker and the lifestyle around it? Yes, a lot of people are automatically sad and/or living a rough life because they don't have money, but no one is automatically happy and/or living a good life because they do have money. I meant that statement mostly for those who feel they are "stuck" in poker even though theyre miserable, simply because its their best financial option, since it sounds like a few ppl itt fall into that group.

Do most pros hate poker and the lifestyle around it? Gags is the man, well-said. I feel the same way as you, and even when I was on the worst downswing of my career (I'm still on a pretty meh-swing), I was still saying it, and as soon as I stop saying it, I'm gone. Also, let me be probably the billionth person itt to say that if this poll were made about the vast majority of jobs, that the numbers would no doubt be pretty heavily weighted towards the negative - that's why they call em jobs, people. Everyone says "god i hate poker" and "f poker" and "poker sucks" from time to time, but if you really, truly hate it, then ffs find something else. ...

What % of ranked players are broke? My whole point was that while that one sentence might seem like enough reason to be backed, that there are enough other factors that would outweigh it and still make it a bad decision, like the things I said, and all the things you're saying. thought that was obvious. Posted in: Poker Discussion	AJKHoosier1 Sep 13th, 2010
What % of ranked players are broke? What was definitely on pace to becoming a typical, shitty thread, definitely rebounded into something much better. Since a big part of this thread has become about backing/being backed, I figured I'd throw in my two cents, since I've been on both sides of everything. When I first started being backed a few years ago, it was for the typical "I think I can beat high stakes but I'm basically broke" reason - this can be smart (if 50% of your ROI at the stakes you're backed at is >100% of your ROI at the stakes you'd play otherwise) or dumb (sacrificing the improvement in skill and toughness in ...
