FT of WCOOP 500r whats your play?
was there any thought to continuing to lead on the turn' would that not give you a chance to win the pot there, and if raised/flatted, make the decisions easier'

Re(3): If you had the BR -- could you hang?
IMO, there are a select few that are in that progression of working their way up, but even those people can't say they can "hang" until they actually get there...

Re(1): If you had the BR -- could you hang?
Do you think you can even break even at the cash games' If I could profit, I'd be in the game. Given I'm not in that game or anygame even *remotely* close, no, not a chance.

Re(2): S&g turbo experts what would u do
can i ask a non-this-question-question' :) what do you look for in an opponent during a sit-n-go that would establish he is 'capable of raise/folding'' in most SnGs, especially turbos, against players w/out a history there are very few spots where you can determine that no' given that, do we start with the basic assumption that in a 225$ SnG, players should have a reasonable expectation of play and we should note accordingly if they do NOT adhere to it. in other words, if we've never played with this opponent before, and have little to no reads at this stage, my standard play would be to ...

Re(1): 5/10 PLO Hand Discussion Sick Spot
to me, based on the action, it's painfully obvious the guy has AA, what other hand can he possibly have unless he's running a bluff' is stratkomb99r a player who is very laggy/spewy' If not, I fold river here always (though personally I'd probably take a different line flop/turn to see earlier in the hand if he has the AA)

Re(1): How Long Do You Want To Play Poker?
My question to everyone is how long do you plan on playing poker' i'll probably donate (err, play) the rest of my life in various degrees live/online. poker as entertainment makes it easy to enjoy for a lifetime {like golf, for example}

Re(3): Any successful poker players ever lose passion for the game and just quit?
jerry yang' :) to the OP, perhaps you could try mentoring/teaching' talk to bax/sheets/nsx/others who have done that perhaps to get their perspective. the other suggestions by GP and brsavage are good as well. fwiw, what you describe happens to about everyone in any profession. i know many people in different walks of life who have gone through what you are now with poker. many of them completely change professions {some multiple times} and even lifestyles {from rich company CEO type to broke community college professor, for example}

Re(2): Joe Sebok
it's well known that barry isn't joe's real dad, not invading his privacy at all. google and you'll find all you need to know about barry and joe (and probably more than you care to know i'm sure) fwiw, and totally off topic, but Barry's house is really nice, they did a video shoot of it for CardPlayer (or one of those). and Barry seems like a good guy, he answers a ton of posts over at 2+2 and his appearances on HSP and PAD have included some words for the online community. now if he can ever admit to his real Erdos number, then, well, nevermind :)

Re(2): An Open Letter to the Community and Beyond on Integrity in Poker.
"Late in the show, Gavin mentioned that he knew of players who stole tournament chips from prelims at the WSOP to save for the ME, and stakers who would confiscate their horses chips for their own tournament, and yet they are still accepted members of the poker community." Is this above statement for real' ------------ Google "Men The Master chip dumping"

Re(3): Khan wtf was that blow up?
makes more sense now The final two players are negotiating a deal with the assistance of Lee Jones, who is using the calculator function of his iPhone to run the numbers. It seems like they're working out some kind of save, and then they'll play for the title and the rest of the money. Pretty standard stuff, except you'd never witness dealmaking in the open like this at the WPT (where it's banned) or the WSOP (where it's ignored).

Re(5): Kenny Rap's 3 way all in call/FT 109r
he can answer, but imo with his play, he's never folding at any point in the hand. in the example above, if first to act, he shoves and may actually get better hands to fold. the other thing about this play that is seen often (at least in low $ mtts) is that shorty std open raises, and gets multiple callers. once the flop comes and the shorty shoves, the other players can often make plays to isolate against the shorty and drive out hands that might have won at showdown. For example, say he raises with 66 and is called by 3 people. say the flop is As7s8d and he open shoves and another big ...

Re(1): Kenny Rap's 3 way all in call/FT 109r
"I agree that this call can rarely be +ev, pot odds or not IMO" math please' my calcs assume he's not folding say they fold 75% of the time, he picks up 11,500, +cEV of +$8,625 i'll forgo the 'normal' case of one person shoving (which range-wise still makes a call +ev) and focus just on the actual hand as it played out with those specific hands known. 25% of the time the above happens and he calls. he has 20% equity in the hand and will lose 35k - 80% of the time for a -cEV of 7k in that case, but 20% of the time he wins for a +cEV of 8300 or so. if he knows the exact hands he's up ...

Re(2): Look at this play, omaha 200/400
totally player dependant, obviously, but people do semi-bluff in PLO :) as played he's only a 60% or so fav over the OESD+QQ b/c of no flush draw. given that a 9 takes his equity down to like 20% or so, he was lucky/good to pick off the bluff like he did *and* have the hand hold up. i'd guess there is some history between the opponents to allow him to make this raise here.

Re(1): OK Everyone I need help with a spot
Q7o++ is >50% against a random hand. if he's truely on ATC, then 50%+ range is fine, no' i'm assuming here that 11-18 all pay the same and you need to find +ev spots to move up to the real $''

Re(1): Rate My Bluff from PCA
is this really KCannon's hand from the 2007 PCA' because he tried to bluff against the old guy with AA then as well and had similar results IIRC :) i'm obv not good enough to have a comment taken seriously, but at this blind level / stack depth, against a player who, truthfully, is an unknown, your plays seems extremely bad given your abilities/training. patience is a great virtue in live tournaments, it's a marathon not a sprint :)

i'm older (39) and believe he should be allowed to play live. i see his $7800 just like any other $7800 entry into the event (or whatever the $ amount is). he hasn't been exposed as a live cheater has he' if his cheating was limited to online play, i don't see how that has any bearing in a live setting, other than trying to improve the online game {but it doesn't do anything for the live tourny, other than decrease the prize pool}. that said, casinos/tournaments have at their discretion the ability to deny entry to anyone for pretty much anything they want, so his online cheating is ...

Re(5): serious PLO question
that's assuming people aren't paying attention / will give you action on those made hands. in many sessions i've had, playing a 'normal tightish game' doesn't get your big hands paid off at all. giving action to get action is very true very often. i agree that in the lower stakes games people aren't really paying attention, but allowing certain people to think you are a donkey with bad calls early in smallish pots can really allow you to clean up later as they pay off your monster hands because of your first hand where you post out of position and call a small river bet with 2nd pair :)
