Re(7): Let's fight for our right to keep playing poker online! Engineer, I need to be up front and tell you that I am a Christian and I take that very seriously. I am also a poker player and I take that very seriously as well. You come across as very angry with Christians and people who have morals. A few things about morals. We all have them. Your talk about moralists is a little silly because you yourself have morals. I'm pretty sure you don't think it's ok to rape or torture 2 year old babies or think genocide is ok and I'm pretty sure you'd support laws against those actions. So that makes you a moralist too. Your approach to this is all wrong. ... Posted in: Poker Legislation |

Re(9): For those of you that say never fold KK preflop..... I don't agree. If you are playing a cash game and you get a chance to put all your money in the middle with KK you do it. You can always reach right back in your pocket and buy in again. If you can't reach right back in your pocket then you are playing above your head. I've played alot of cash games and I've yet to see the tight range you are talking about with a pf shove like this. Yes, that's what I said about tournaments. I'm not folding KK pf ever because it's -EV to fold KK pf. Posted in: Poker Discussion |

Re(5): For those of you that say never fold KK preflop..... A tournament is the ONLY time you can even try to make an argument for folding, which even then I'm not folding pf ever. There would be zero excuse for folding this in a cash game. I think you have your strategy a little backwards. Posted in: Poker Discussion |

Re(12): For those of you that say never fold KK preflop..... Then you will fold KK (or other strong hands) way to too many times when you play poker. If all it takes is for someone to come over the top of you then that's pretty tight. You are confusing the outcome of the hand with the correct play. The correct play is to call this preflop with KK. In a low stakes tourney like this people do this too many times with hands other than AA. People limp shove like this with way worse hands than this. Yeah, the outcome worked out for you but that play is still not correct. I wouldn't be getting too excited about making a great laydown because regardless of ... Posted in: Poker Discussion |

Re(2): Reports of the demise of "live pros" greatly exaggerated? I think it will be a moot point not because online players are better but because everyone plays online to some exent so most players are online players. I guess I don't know who the warhorses are that refuse to play online because I've never heard of the top live pros refusing to do that. It's also ironic that the measure of the best poker players in the world isn't the P5's Triple Crown it's the WSOP and WPT, which are LIVE tournaments. Any online player would trade a P5's Triple Crown in an instant for a WSOP bracelet. That's because the WSOP is the biggest poker stage in the world. This ... Posted in: Poker Discussion |

WSOP $1500 buyin tournaments As these really as ridiculously loose as the Card Player write up's make them sound' 2/3 of the field out by the end of level 4' Is the play really that bad or what is the deal' Has anyone played these yet this year' I'm playing one of the upcoming ones and was curious as to how people have approached playing these things. Any feedback on these would be much appreciated. Posted in: Poker Discussion |

Re(7): Which game requires the least amount of thinking, hand reading? Win fast' Not sure if you think you want to get rich quick or win a particular hand pre-flop by that statement. Lots of pro's play both. You need to actually learn the game to be good at it and be able to execute what you learn. Poker isn't a pyramid get rich scheme. If you want that go sell Amway. You'll actually have to build your skills, play, and continue to improve. No shortcuts here. Posted in: Poker Discussion |

Re(4): New Bill Would Tax Two Percent of Poker Deposits Maits, This isn't a tax on the player, it's a tax on the poker site. The poker site would be required to pay the tax not the player. It's not taxing expenses it's taxing the deposits which seems a little backward. It's not even taxing revenue. It would be like taxing a bank everytime you deposited money and not taxing the actual income. Don't know too many details about this yet but I can't see where something like this would ever pass. Your deposit isn't revenue for the poker site so this can't even be equated to a sales tax. There are 2 other bills in the house right now that on the ... Posted in: Poker Discussion |

PPA I know this has been posted several times before but it's worth posting again. If you have not joined the Poker Players Alliance (PPA) , please consider doing it now. There are over 550,000 members now and there are both paid and free memberships. The PPA is having an affect on proposed legislation to legalize and regulate on line poker in the US. There are now two bills aimed at legalizing on line gaming (House Bill HR 2046) and one aimed at giving online poker a skill game exemption to UIGEA (House Bill HR 2610) plus a third bill to study online gaming (HR 2140).

Re(4): Featured Strategy Discussion: The Right and Wrong Times to C-bet You may have missed the point on this. The point is to always bet it the same. If you bet a 1/2 pot when you want a call and a pot size when you don't you will get picked off or you won't make as much money as you could have. The point of always c-betting the same is to make it harder for someone else to put you on a hand. If you make a 1/2 pot sized with 2 flush cards on the board and you get 1 caller then you've done your job. He's getting 3-1 to call and those are not good odds for him to be making the call to draw to a flush, he's already made a mistake. You actually want a call in this ... Posted in: Poker Discussion |

Re(1): how do i play this better That's a tough one. There's probably not much you can do here. If you raise pf he might fold but on the other hand you can't be raising pf all the time with A-little suited. I'm calling/raising pf in this situation about 70%/30% (if I don't fold). The full house has to be in your mind but lots of guys in his position would do that with a set too. I certainly can't criticize your play here as this is a tough one to get away from.

Re(2): Mirage FT<------------------------- Best 22 year old of all time' I think Magic already had a championship at 22 in both the NCAA and NBA and was an MVP in those championships. I guess we'll see after he's been in the league 10 years (that means he needs to win 3 in the next 6) to accomplish that. Posted in: Poker Discussion |

Re(5): Mirage FT<------------------------- I wouldn't necessary be surprised to see this but it's as much about numbers as anything else. When 95% of the field are online players then yeah, it's not a stretch to think that most bracelets will be won by an online player. Now if you get an online player with 5 or 6 bracelets then that means something. But just saying that online players will win the bracelets is really not saying much. Posted in: Poker Discussion |

You play with a guy for a few hours that has proven track record and based on a couple plays or maybe even a few hours of play the guy is all of the sudden horrible' Come on that's ridiculous. Ivey has made multiple WPT final tables and has won bracelets in these big WSOP fields too as have many other live pros. It's funny that you say people who question your opinion don't bring poker ...

Re(1): did i do something wrong? Certainly he's wrong when you flip over the cards but you are so short stacked that you could have a just about anything and he's willing to race with his A high. I think what you said to him is completely wrong. He doesn't have to know he's behind at all. Now if you have 10k in chips and you've got him covered then maybe that's a true statement. But your M is 3.75 if there are no antes at this point. You should have probably shoved before this but that's another discussion. Also if you had only played one hand in the last hour and let yourself get blinded down to an M of 3.75 you are playing ... Posted in: Poker Discussion |

Re(1): Early Tournament play...Pocket Pair He reraised you because you basically made a minimum raise and got a caller. You showed you didn't have a strong hand pf and might just be trying to steal with A-x or middle pair which is what happened. I think if you make a 3x or 4x here you possibly don't get the button caller and you don't get reraised. If it's only the second level the blinds are what 10-20' So raising it to 50 is just too weak in my opinion and conveys weakness. At the first 2 or 3 levels I'm opening for 4x just to prevent this type of situation. He's not going to fold but he probably doesn't reraise. The rest of the ... Posted in: Poker Discussion |

Re(4): Standard Cash Game Laydown? I think your logic is off a little bit. You get almost no information by calling. What you do is give information. Of course he's going to fire at the pot again because you have not shown an strength since he took control of the hand from you. If I were in his shoes I'd look at it like this: You make a stanard raise he's got something like K-Q, Q-J, J-10, A-K, or maybe even A-Q, or whatever. He thinks you might just be playing A-x and are just making a continuation bet like he's seen you do many times before. You make a bet and he comes over the top for the steal attempt with maybe a pair. ... Posted in: Poker Discussion |

Re(4): Mirage FT<------------------------- You missed the point. That doesn't mean he's not good, he's just not very accomplished yet. So yes he is overrated until he actually wins a championship. That comes with time. When he starts winning championships, multiple MVP's, etc. then he can be put in the same class with MJ, but not until then. If he can't attain that level then he'll be just another good player that couldn't win a championship. So until an online player can start racking up bracelets, big final table appearances, and loads of cash, then all the criticism of "horrible live players" is just sour grapes. There are some ...

Re(2): Mirage FT<------------------------- Overrated or not guys like Ivey have a track record and bracelets to back it up. In my opinion LaBron James is way overrated, he's a great player, very exciting to watch, but still overrated because his teams don't win championships. When he starts to win championships then he'll deserve his hype. When will the "big name online players" quit thinking that all "big name live players" are horrible and vice versa. Recognition comes with a track record over time and a big enough audience who cares. Ivey's status is well deserved. The guy has made literally millions playing poker, lives in a huge ...
