Bodog, Doyle's Room, Carbon, Players Only The UIGEA never mentions poker at all. It excludes fantasy sports, intrastate gambling, horse racing, and securities trading. (One might claim that buying stocks, options, or the derivative of the week is betting.) Online gaming run by your state government, anyone' Posted in: Poker Sites	azholdm Apr 23rd, 2011
new Bodog Cashout Policy Carbon sure looks cool and runs faster than some other sites, Bodog for one. However, it's none too easy to deposit on Carbon. Apparently, there are ways, but the minimums are higher than some of us are used to, especially now that our bankrolls are frozen on the Big Three. Once the money's there, the question becomes will the games suck' What site was it' Maybe FTP' that had kamikaze sngs'' Sign up and every hand is autoshoved for you. What's the point of that'' Maybe I'll try online roulette. Or yikes! online keno. Posted in: Poker Sites	azholdm Apr 18th, 2011
The reason UB and other sites are still up and running I like what your saying, but the UIGEA is an attempt to defund online poker. It strikes at any fund transfers to online gambling. What is the legal way to handle payment processing under this law' The Republicans talk about defunding Obamacare. The same approach as the UIGEA. How do you play poker for money online legally if all your ways of depositing or withdrawing money are illegal'' The claim that poker is a game involving skill may well be a good defense. (For some reason, the law specifically exempts fantasy sports. Why' Is it because knowledge and skill are required' What ... Posted in: Poker Sites	azholdm Apr 18th, 2011
Full Tilt and Pokerstars Domains Seized The online poker provisions were a tiny slapped-on part of a huge Homeland Security "Safe Port" bill. Voting against this would be like voting against Mom and apple pie. Most of those who voted for the thing proobably never got to the "let's curb online poker" part. It is this deceptive pork barrel style of legislation that really bothers me. Posted in: Poker Sites	azholdm Apr 17th, 2011
Article: Online Poker Play: Two Hands of No Limit Hold'em Her record at opr makes JohnnyBax look weak. Runs 9-10 stars based on PS record. Broke the player meter. Conclusion: you were outplayed in the second hand. If you knew her stats, no wonder you were hesitant. Your article made me think. VN. Posted in: vBCms Comments	azholdm Jul 1st, 2009
************OFFICIAL I CAN'T CASH OUT/DEPOSIT/ XFER-AND-CHEAT AND I WILL NOT MAKE ANOTHER THREAD ABOUT IT THREAD********* New York state Attorney General closed down instant eChecks: While you're at it, Mr. AG close down LOTTO, a completely skillless form of gambling. Oh, wait, the state government gets that money. Never mind. Posted in: Poker Discussion	azholdm Jun 5th, 2009
************OFFICIAL I CAN'T CASH OUT/DEPOSIT/ XFER-AND-CHEAT AND I WILL NOT MAKE ANOTHER THREAD ABOUT IT THREAD********* This article discusses the problem. Possibly a check clearing processor is not handling these deposits any more. / Ftp has Western Union. I'm considering that. The options at Stars appear to be: have a friendly debit card maybe All Access Visa, join Diners Club or mail a cashier's check to the Isle of Man, UK. Maybe there's an easier option I'm missing' (I have tried a few other PS options but they were no go for me.) Of course, if Stars doesn't ge this sorted out, sites like Cake Poker -- not a member just viewed their site -- with more transfer options will get more ...

Need a little 9max sit-n-go advice. exactly how tight should I be playing the $5 FTP sit-n-gos This may be too loose for the first few levels. I believe one expert recommends AK and TT + for the first few levels. Super tight. I tend to play loose myself. If my hands hit or the table's passive, I'm ok. I don't even realize I'm too loose. If my hands miss, I soon have an 800 stack at 100/50 blinds and a table that won't fold. Bad situation. My non-expert experience has been that AK is often the darling hand of the sng. The players all love it and will go allin, call an allin, join a 4-player allin with AK. So, hands like AQ, AJ are too low to call raises with when ...

Pre-flop probability in hold'em See or According to the second link, the probability of hitting a flush draw on the flop is only 11%. (And 0.84% for flopping a flush.) Then the odds of hitting that draw are 35% if you stay in the hand to the end. So that totals 4.69% (3.85 + .84) for the probability of any two suited cards hitting a flush, either on the flop or after. Posted in: Poker Discussion	azholdm Jun 4th, 2008
cash game material There is Harrington on Cash Games, Vol. I and II. I covers preflop and flop play. II covers turn and river as well as LAG play, tells, and weak games. Some have said that Volume II is more useful than Volume I. These books super popular right now, but I haven't put any of Harrington's cash ideas into practice yet, so I can't say where it's better than Professional No Limit Hold'em by Matt Flynn -- another well-regarded cash book.

Vegas this weekend... what casinos should I play in? I played in the Orleans NL tourneys twice. It's under $100. Orleans is not the most chic spot in Vegas, but has a large and bustling poker room. There is no way they have 3-minute blinds (Wow, just give your money away.) I read that the blinds increase every 20 minutes. Excalibur is famous for providing players who literally learned holdem that day. Again, not fancy, but profitable. MGM has a big, active pokerroom. There are daily tourneys. Mandelay Bay has a 10 AM touney that is supposed to be excellent. (You have to signup early: signup starts at 7 AM.) I have heard Caesar's ... Posted in: Off Topic	azholdm Oct 9th, 2006
action jeff may mtt stats? I can''t be sure of his buyins. But get out your calculators if you know his buyin numbers and add them up. In the last 18 months, a $150 event without rebuys, netted him $9,000. In another tourney, his total buyin was $200. His profit was $49,800. So it's a living. No one would keep playing for more than a year if he were losing to the tune of $360,000 unless he has big money from somewhere. Drugs, oil, Internet stocks, his great-great-grandfather was Thomas Edison, etc. Posted in: Poker Discussion	azholdm Jun 3rd, 2006
action jeff may mtt stats? One site reports he took 1st in a $100 rebuy tourney on Pokerstars. That payout was more than $11,000. Total winnings for May was $18,563. Of course, I can't tell how much is profit in the rebuy tourneys. It's lot better than my May results (or any other month!) It sure doesn't look like a disaster. His winnings for the last year and a half are over $340,000. I'm going with bet-you-can't-stay-off-P5-for-a-month theory. Posted in: Poker Discussion	azholdm Jun 2nd, 2006
Why the Poker sites should stay out of the argument right now. I joined the Poker Players Alliance. I voted against key anti-poker politcians in my state. They won, anyway. It wasn't real close, either. The average citizen in this state with a few casinos may well think, "Leave poker to grownups (geezers!) in the casinos. Get those college kids to stop wasting money online." If there were no brick-and-mortar poker rooms in the state, people who play would oppose these politcos more strongly. Just a theory.

Poker players against Jon Kyl On trips to Las Vegas, I asked people if they played poker online. An awful lot of them said they do. This includes older people as well as the obvious kids in the Pokerstars hats. I was surprised that the older people played online. There were quite a few Party players; what they're doing now, I have no idea. BTW, here is a link to Jon Kyl's press site where he cites his accomplishment in getting the online gambling bill passed. I wish that Congress had debated this long and hard as a separate bill instead of tacking it on an overwhelmingly popular bill in the last hours before ...

Overuse of allins? Quote: hey, if you think it's EVER CORRECT TO FOLD ACES or not push with them, then you're just not very bright. YOU WANT PEOPLE CALLING YOU WHEN YOU HAVE ACES. ***** You don't fold them, you raise them. You don't always push if you as short stack will get called by several at the table. It's fun to show your pocket rockets to an admiring table. But with two or more callers, your odds are not very good. Posted in: Poker Discussion	azholdm Apr 14th, 2006

SNG Teaching Sites I just watched a video of a $1000 SNG at PXF. Bax was playing. He commented repeatedly how terrible the players were. One allin preflop was K9o going in and T8o calling. Yeah, T8o. No gap concept there. Neither player was a super short stack. Of course, the T8o won with trip tens. Lower-limit sng skills may be sufficient in a game like this!

action jeff may mtt stats? I gather you made the bet with AJ that he couldn't stop posting on P5 for a month. Have he won the bet yet' He has posted on CardRunners that he is not broke and gives some numbers. BTW I wish I had his May profits or even 1/10 of them!

Training sites? About a year ago, I made the ft of a low-limit tourney on Party. I was 9th of 2,900. I won an allin with a suited Jx. The other player shoved allin on the turn to get me to fold. I had chump change left, under 1,000. So I called, drawing for a flush. Instead, I got a J for a pair and won 70,000 chips. Posted in: Poker Discussion	azholdm Jan 9th, 2007
