Phil Hellmuth Spoof
Sad thing is, the later movies are less funny than the first ones. If you've seen pretty much all poker episodes out there, including Phil's instructional DVD and the WSOP 2005 tournament of champions, you'll get most of the humor. Otherwise, it might still be fun, but less funny.

Online poker is rigged...in a different way than most think.
I'm not against accusing online poker, but I'm all for seeing some PROOF!!!

This is officially the last straw.
Personally, I love donkeys, but maybe that's just me. And I love feeding them little straws to fatten them and then I slaughter them for dinner.

Home Game hand advice KK vs AA
Your actions were all correct, the raise to 3000, the call of his all-in. You shouldn't think in pure odds, the game is 5-handed, he could move in with any pair or AK, AQ, etc... Kings are good here more often than not. The only time you should ever think about folding kings pre-flop is after the 4th raise or so....

Interesting situation-$555 Turbo
It's not the first levels good players win tournaments. It's the later levels, when the blinds are higher, they make the sorts of moves that are enabling them to win.

How do you guys handddddddddle this?!
Indeed, NEWSFLASH: Poker is a game that favors the lucky ones, and if you never have any, you'll never win!!! I had a small S&G last night with 7 people, 1 rebuy. First hand my stack went out as a 33% favourite when the flop came and I held QImages/diamond.gif8Images/diamond.gif, other guy held and hit a K on the river. Second hand I went out was with my 22 on a 2 J T 5 rainbow board, got called by KQo and a 9 hit on the river, gg me, I was only an 18% favourite after all. Combined chances for me losing both times was about 6%. Then of course the guy who made the most bad calls of ...

Final Table help! Should I make this call b/c of odds/equity?
It's so lame they treat poker players with such disrespect, but all the casino cares about is $$$. How sweet it would be if there was a poker club you just have to pay a monthly membership to play in, much like the contribution you pay at a sports club. I'm sure a lot of people are willing to put up like $50 a month for a roof over their heads and some service. I know I would. This way, no one ever feels 'cheated' by ridiculous amounts of rake on either cash game pots or tournament buy-ins. Wait a minute, I've just found my dream job, running that poker club. One problem, ...

losing a big chips lead
The answer is a lot less than you think. 1st: 2990 - 10 2nd: 2980 - 20 3rd: 2970 - 40 4th: 2930 - 80 5th: 2850 - 160 6th: 2690 - 320 7th: 2370 - 640 8th: 1730 - 1280 9th: 450 - 2560 10th: 0 - 3000 Other way to figure it out: 5*2^t >= 3000; t >= log2 (3000/5) >= log2 600 >= 9.23

How would you have played this hand?
The full-ring vs short-handed argument is a important one. I see you were playing this way to slowplay a bit, which is fine, probably got the maximum here.

SnG bubble. Do you call the preflop all-in here?
Sometimes it's hard not to second guess yourself over such a trivial move, because the result is bad. This confidence is just something that has to grow as you become more and more experienced playing poker.

A different kind of Bricks and Mortar Bad Beat. Please post yours.
Wasn't supposed to, site did exist for a while. But I checked the link after yor post, and all I see is some open dir with one 'parent directory' link. No worries, I'll tell you one of the most famous bad beats on there myself. This guy had pocket jacks, raised before the flop, got 2 callers. The first caller went all-in on a flop of 832. The preflop raiser thought long and hard, showed his cards to his buddy behind him and powerfully mucked. The cards flew over the table right into the dealer's stack, chopping the would be burn card off, landing the 3 cards in the muck. A floor ...

Avoid playing dominated hands for a call, they will only get you in trouble.

Very Tough Decision with My Set of 10's...still can't figure our right play
I'd go broke on that flop about 95% of the time. The other 5% is when something crazy happens, like me getting hit by a meteor.

What would you do with this one?
Glad to see I was right and he WAS strong. Too bad for you though. We all know that you have to take risks to win tournaments, but ask yourself in hindsight, was this really the good moment' I think it was a bad call, because you only were a big favorite to 2 or 3 hands and a big dog or small favorite over the rest of possible hands.
