Re:Is this a cold deck or a spew?
Amen to what Insider said. Spewing chips with trash hands from the small blind probably cost me a win in the ps $100k last week. Check out my post from 2/10/09 if you need further proof of the horrors of completing with junk.

Re:horrible spot deep in Nightly $100k
Excellent read Rock. I shoved and he showed me 98off. Of course he filled up on the turn and sent me from the penthouse to the outhouse. Oh well.

horrible spot deep in Nightly $100k
6 handed with 2 tables remaining. Our table has been fairly loose passive as we approach the final table bubble. Villian has been frequently trying to limp in from early position hoping to see cheap flops but he has not been overly aggressive post flop.

Re:BodogAri's Aj suited Play in Sunday Million
AFink' You say I "called out Ari". By asking if his play was +EV I am "calling him out"' Are you serious' Even the president of the united states gets questioned without this sort of public flogging.

Re:BodogAri's Aj suited Play in Sunday Million
First of all my "moron" comment was directed at bob2bob for attempting to make benyyy's tourney results an issue. Maybe you try to read more carefully before you start spouting off at the mouth. Secondly, my initial comments only questioned Ari's play. It is very ironic that SCTrojan says "good players" dont want to post because of comments like mine. Yet I have posted over 300 times, mostly requests for hand advice or advice on general strategy and not one time did a "good player" respond. Yet the very first time that I question a "good" ...

Re:BodogAri's Aj suited Play in Sunday Million
Wow Maven!! Thanks so much for answering my question. That is all I was asking in the first place. Now I have another hopefully "legitimate" question for you. My initial comment was that the UTG raiser was "likely" pot committed. The reason I say this is the fact that I have watched tons of PXF videos where some of the top pros have advised against raise/folding with stacks of 20bbs or less. Of course there will be situations where a fold is the correct play. However, as a general rule of thumb would you say that it is neg EV to make a habit of raise/folding with this sort ...

Re:BodogAri's Aj suited Play in Sunday Million
Thanks Benyyy. As usual some moron on here cannot articulate a reasonable counter position so instead they resort to using tournament results to justify their moronic statements. You do not have to win a major tournament in order to make a legitimate inquiry into someone's play. I have no problem defending myself against this herd mentality and I totally understand that most of them do not have the ability to think for themselves. I question my play each and everyday because I have much room for improvement. I guess some people find it impossible to make that admission.

Re:BodogAri's Aj suited Play in Sunday Million
You guys are hiliarious. Accusing me of being rude and sarcastic. Why dont you take a moment to read the start of this thread. replay from threeven "dude, its 6 handed". i asked a simple question....is this play +ev and that is the response i get back' then he uses the term "retarded". then SC calls me an asshole. and i'm being rude' I asked a legitimate question and yet it took about 25 posts to get the first legitimate answer. In between were a bunch of idiotic posts from online poker groupies who instantly spring to the defense of Ari just because I questioned his ...

Re:BodogAri's Aj suited Play in Sunday Million
i dont understand three even's comment. because they are 6 handed AJ somehow becomes a monster versus an utg raiser who has likely pot committed himself preflop'

Is Doyles Room Serious?
Requested a cashout by mail several weeks ago. Not in a rush for the cash but decided to check on it. I contact support and they tell me it takes 27 business days. They cannot be serious. Someone please tell me that this is a joke. Why not just post a statement on the site saying "We do not welcome daily grinders here".

Re:Anyone making this laydown?
Well I was absolutely sure that I was beat. Villian had to have AA, KK (or AK and I never beat AK with an underpair). Despite my read I donked off my chips by calling only to see his AA. Thats why I am a loser. Gotta go with your reads man.......

Sticky situation deep in Nightly 100k
11 players left. 5 handed at my table. Villian had been playing fairly tight. However, I had open raised and folded to a shove on 2 out of the previous 4 hands.
