Online poker in US legal or Not?
The answer is yes, with the exception of Washington state. There is no other federal or state statue that makes it illegal.

" keep playing that way grinkem you will go really deep"
Really don't worry about what random idiots that you beat in a hand say about it and certainly do NOT try to explain yourself to them. I know I'm playing my best when I leave a path of swears in the chat, and someone wishes my mother gets AIDS and cancer.

Is this a good fold with 10's?
R.I.F. Without any kind of read I think this is a fold.

I fold there and probably don't think twice about it.

Casino ruling on a slow roll
Dick move but it sounds like the villain's hand is live and he should be awarded the pot. Being an asshole doesn't play into this, unfortunately.

Sunglasses at live donkaments?
I don't know, I kind of like people to know that I'm looking at them. It makes them really uncomfortable and if I'm in a big hand with them, that's good. I know the sunglass proponents think it's good that other people can't know where you are looking, but I kind of like it. Like Philip Hilm in the 2007 main event. He was a little creepy the way he stared people down, but it really made people uncomfortable.

wwyd AK ott?
I don't generally bet 8x pf oop. But after 3 limpers, with AK, 7-8x is a pretty standard raise. It's not a terrible result to take it down either.

You um left out a couple details.

wwyd AK ott?
Yeah, it isn't nearly as massive a leak as betting only 5x after 3 limpers and creating a multi-way pot out of position.

wwyd AK ott?
But then you are attempting to play a hand like AKhigh or maybe top pair out of position vs. multiple opponents post flop....and that is a bigger problem than getting some hands that you beat to fold preflop

wwyd AK ott?
Not for nothing, but I probably make it 210 or 240 pre. My rule for raising after limpers early on is 3xBB, +1x if there is any limpers, +1x additional for each limper. Maybe another 1x for being OOP.

Just Shipped the $3r 40K Guaranteed
I have such a love/hate relationship with the 3r. 98% of the time its just a waste and anything but a FT is totally worthless after hours of play, and frustrating as hell to get sucked out in it late. But it's the first tourney I've ever won, I've also binked it twice and got 2nd once and the value to win the thing is just too irresistible, combined with the high concentration of monkeys and the super fun cheap shovefest for an hour and I just can't stay away. The $3r is like crack. Except it won't kill you so...keep playing it! Grats on the score too!

Difficult hand at live 2/5. What do you do?
Shoving isn't always the best way to get value though. bro. It's not like "you're ahead of his range here gotta shove" every time.

Difficult hand at live 2/5. What do you do?
Well to finish the story, the river brought a red J, putting the straight on the board, and the villain bet $250. I briefly considered KcQx in his range before calling. He tabled a set of 10's so basically playing the straight on the board by the river and I took the side pot, while the small stack initial shover had a baby flush and took the main. Later on the villain told me that river bet could be the worst bet he's ever made. It was just one of those spots where I felt like every option was wrong, and I've been trying to analyze it and figure out the optimal way to play something like ...

Difficult hand at live 2/5. What do you do?
Well since I thought I was ahead of his range, and the board was so scary for his range that I thought I might lose him, I elected to just call, hoping for a safe turn card. The turn brings a red 7. Now the board is 4 to a straight. He visibly deflates, thinks and checks. Now I'm 90% sure that I have him in bad shape. I'm nearly 100% sure he doesn't have a small flush, and probably not even a flush draw and trying to get him to put more into the side pot is what I'm after. But IMO the board looks so bad to him that I'm pretty sure he folds if I shove there. So I check behind with the plan to ...

Difficult hand at live 2/5. What do you do?
In a tournament I 100% agree, but in a deepstacked cash game I don't think the call pre is bad at all, esp. with the looser raiser and caller. I'd be curious for cash gamers to chime in on that one, though, as I am just making the shift from tourneys to cash. I totally agree with you regarding the range. I don't think folding was ever really an option in my mind for more than a few seconds. I had a very hard time deciding between shoving and calling. If we think we are well ahead of his range (being mostly sets and two pair type hands, maybe a pair and overcard flush draw), then don't we ...

Difficult hand at live 2/5. What do you do?
OK playing 2/5 @ the Hard Rock Hollywood, FL, with the new normal limits (thank god) when this hand comes up. The villain 2 to my right is a 45-ish year old who is the table captain. He has $1000 in front of him when I sit down and has flashed a large turn bluff that took down the pot already, however other than that he seems to have played solid. I've been sitting about 20 minutes and haven't played many hands, probably have about $550 in front of me. The villain is UTG+2 and raises to $20. UTG +3 calls, I call with QcJh. BB calls. 4 to the flop. Flop comes: 89T all clubs BB has about ...

dispute between me and bakes
This discussion without chat log is futile. From the sound of the initial post, it seems that they left it with bakes expecting cash before the booking was final. That is pure conjecture though without knowing exactly what went down in the chat.
