Re:Full Tilt Poker: Add Bad Beat Jackpot
If that was the qualifying level for a BBJ, then it'd be hit every 6 hours. I think most places/sites with BBJs need Aces full to be the losing hand at minimum. No cosign.

Re:How do you play this hand? (Borgata Labor Day 300 mtt)
He shouldn't have a hand with a 6 in here. He also shouldn't have AA/KK here but might've taken a gamble when you raised and cleared everybody else out of the pot and figured he could slowplay. HOWEVER, that means there's like 7 hands total that beat you (AA, KK, TT, 88, 56, A6, 76) and it's still not enough to justify flat-calling and praying for the best. Put the rest in. At this point I talk to him to try and get a read. But the best play in a vacuum is to jam.

Re:Misdeal in local game
Apologies - clearly the burn card remains. Explanation of them occuring in the natural course are correct.

Re:Misdeal in local game
Logically (and I expect any rules you can find to back me up) the Turn stands and the the burn and River card are reshuffled to the stub, allowing betting on the Turn to occur.

Re:Any September goals?
Just moving up to NL25 would suit me. So I need to have about $500 and I currently have $145. Can easily be done by winning like 1 buy-in per day at 10NL!

Re:Cash - Mass Multitabling or Minimal Tables with great focus??
I play 2 tables to begin with, and if I feel I'm playing well I'll load another one or two, and drop one as soon as I start to play badly.

Re:My apology to HelenRNurse (if she really exists) and a comment about patriotism
Not reading the pages of crap in this thread, but it once again spells out that nobody on the internet can have a reasoned debate without somebody bringing over-emotive hyperbole into the ring. If you did that in a real life setting you'd get laughed at. Try and stick to the facts and your opinions regarding said facts without turning to the idea of being 'sickened by people like you' and shit like that.

Re:Whats the deal with Badbeat poker
I played with them Brigal. You play the required number of cash hands or SNGs through Grandslam poker and having a Poker Tracker-style programme tracking you, and then you apply. If accepted, you will receive 50% of your profits, and the site will take the rest. They absorb the losses and you get kicked off when you become a liability. I was a player with them. They weren't terrible coaches, but I didn't feel I was getting the best support - they were growing too fast and didn't have enough time for me. I ended up breaking even and they let me go after a year. If you're ...

Re:Just got my 'I busted a pro at Full Tilt' t-shirt and it is an outrage !!
Fuck wearing ANYTHING like that at the table. The tilt factor might be worth it, but being laughed at for being an idiot will counter that.

Re:Stacking off early in SNGs with AK
Sorry, yeah, obviously missed out important info. Micro levels against randoms without reads. I guess when they 3-bet shove a full stack their range is pretty much 99+, AQ+ and rarely ever KK or AA because they raise those for value.

Stacking off early in SNGs with AK
Good or bad' And I presume it's better to be the raiser than the caller' It means you're putting in like 30-40BBs at a coinflip at best, but with a chance to make a huge stack ready to just kill the table. Better to wait for a spot with a made hand, or gamble early'

Re:Bet then fold situation ?
Fold pre. However, if you're raising with 75ss, then if you brick the flop you have no hand and no showdown value, so you have to take a stab at it. Don't think that's the right board to, though. That flop can hit a lot of hands in the face, especially multiway. Fold pre, save the agro. On that flop, I just give up. But I don't raise pre either.

Re:Stud H/L.. Trying to understand the game. How did this hand lose the low pot?
No offence buddy, and you've clearly tried to remedy this in this thread, but why are you playing a game that you don't know the rules to' You ABSOLUTELY have to be down with the rules with anything you take up. Would you take up a martial art without knowing what's legal and what isn't'

Re:Cash game hand advice...
Check-raise to 'find out how strong they are' is awful. You're getting called all day by any range of Aces.

Re:Cash game hand advice...
The minraise preflop is awful and then you check the flop and call a bet with the Ace out there' You may as well tell him you don't have the Ace. Raise to 0.50 preflop, bet flop and be prepared to shut down on the Turn.

Exactly. And what the hell are they gonna call their real parents' Nobody on my Facebook has ever heard of this shit. It's almost as though it's a tradition in HER family alone. Which, all jokes aside, leads to some pretty obvious questions...

Which fucking town is this'! I have never heard of this bullshit, I'm from the Midlands. It is weird. Call people by their correct titles, or not at all. Do they call unmarried women 'Mrs. ...' too'!

Micro SNG - on the bubble, not sure how to play it
Ok, sorry for lack of hand history, but please bear with me. I have the overwhelming bigstack with around 6,500 chips and I've been abusing the bubble like hell. Blinds are 60/120 and they are going up at REGULAR speed. I am UTG with A4cc and raise it 3xBB to 360, and it folds to the BB who makes it a minraise (which I presume is 600). He has around 1,500 behind. So it's 240 for me to call into a pot of 960, giving me 4-1 odds. So what's the plan' I call and go with any piece of the board I catch' I surely can't fold here, right'

Re:Spot with KK in Foswoods 2k
Was watching something by Pearljammer earlier about somebody overplaying QQ at the Borgata Open, and also remember the WSOP showing just recently a guy stacked off with 30k at 50/100 with QQ AIPF. It happens.
