Re:Super sick spot final two tables of 12 180 man
To me this is a complete situational play, from the way you describe the villian I probably fold, which is what I think you did also.

Re:BODOG PAYOUT.....8 WEEKS???
I emailed them to let them know I would be moving my bankroll elsewhere. I can't see how they can expect people to continue to play with such a horrible payout situation. Fulltilt can thank bodog, because I will be playing back there fulltime.

Re:BODOG PAYOUT.....8 WEEKS???
I've been out of the loop for awhile, I figured this had been in discussion but I have not played or visited pocket5s for a couple months.

BODOG PAYOUT.....8 WEEKS???
I went to make a cashout request from Bodog (first time in several months) and it says you'll receive a check in approx. 8 weeks!! Has anyone done a payout from here recently' Does it really take 8 weeks or is this like a safety net for some of the banking issues I know they have had in the past'

Re(1): Is it always stupid to fold AK pre?
No, it is not always stupid to fold AK preflop. I have done it plenty of times. It is however not a good move to be folding in this situation. Reasoning is very simple, in multi table tournies the goal early on is to build your chip stack (this is how you survive to make the money, as you said your goal was) you have a better chance of building your chip stack at this point in the game because the field is full of weak players, so it is a MUST that you take advantage of the edge that your hand here has against probably 85% of his range.

Re(1): Bodog lag
I haven't had any problems with the new software, I've heard several people say things about though. For some reason it never prompted me to upgrade my software so I was playing on the old software for a long time till a buddy came over and said something about it. I had to uninstall the software all together and then go and download the new software. So it short, you may want to try uninstalling and then re downloading. rs

Re(1): minivan etc reviews
chrysler town and country is the way to go, I have been in the car business for awhile and one thing is for sure you are not going to get a toyota or a honda minivan that is in any kind of decent shape for under $10k! You can get a decent Town & Country or Caravan for $10k that doesn't have a TON of miles on it like a Toyota or Honda would have to be to get to that price range. Chrysler does the minivan the best also, better quality inside, make sure to go with the V6 engine and just check your car fax reports before you buy.

Yes, with him not shying away at all, you have to atleast consider the flush

Re(1): Playing against an all-in raiser
I think this play is fine, you have an M of 8 and this is a turbo tourny with only 1st paying you have to the money in often and hope for situations where you are ahead like you were.

Re(4): Can I really call here?
I'm a little confused on why you didn't raise pre-flop here''

Re(1): is this a standard shove??
With out a read on mdk that would suggest otherwise, then yes imo.

Re(1): Is this a huge mistake?
you should be betting here, not calling. He is semi bluffing here and makes his hand, you need to be re-raising on that flop.

Re(1): Easy Fold in SNG?
unfortunetly when you are playing at this level players will overvalue their hands alot and you will see situations like this. That being said, I do think this is an okay fold, as I would rather make occasional bad fold than a bad call. If one them has a set as should of been the case with this type of betting you would be smoked if you call.

Re(1): Who agrees this is an easy read and call?

Re(1): This hand has been bothering me all day...
This is a hand that is complete gut feel for me. You are late in a tourny and as you mentioned this guy had raised your big blind 2 out of last 3, so I think that he's probably raising here with a large range of hands, after all it is about chip acumalation at this point. I don't think it's a mistake, its a hand that could be played a few different ways.

Re(1): QQ early in a sat.
Usually a third raise means KK or AA, but only being a few hands in often times you'll get people pushing with some not so strong hands. This early in on a Sat. tourny I'd say I'm calling.

Re(1): is this a major leak of mine?????
yes you need to reevaluate here. You'll talking about putting in 1/3 of your hard earn chips with any two to a re raise. Correct me if I'm wrong here but it doesn't seem to me that you're getting real good odds on your money here either.

Re(1): FTP withdraw question
If you are in the U.S. you cannot do a direct deposit into your back account. I have been using checks but this seems like it's going to be a be a 15-20 day process now so I would say use epassporte that's what I'm going to start using, have heard good things about it.

Re(2): online pros
I'd have to disagree, not saying the top online pros wouldn't be with the top live pros but the two games are very different.

Re(1): full tilt poker cash outs?
My first check I did have to scan a copy of my id and proof of address. NO prob. quick turn around there and my check came in about a week. But I just went to make another withdraw on monday and the menu looked completely different and it said that my check would take 15 days to process. My first one showed processing for less than 2 days, as of today ( 5 days) still showing as processing.

Re(1): $100 freezeout hand
It looks to me that he figured you were making a c-bet with two big cards so he pushed and then got lucky. I mean there were hands that could of had you beat but I fell you made the right call.

Re(1): what's your line? AK OOP to a RR
I'm not a big fan of committing chips with AK but I think pushing isn't a bad idea here, if he has JJ or lower he'll probably fold and as you mentioned you don't think he has ACEs or Kings

is epassporte better than check??
I do not currently have an epassporte account setup, I had my last withdraw processed by check and got it in about 10 days. Is epassporte quicker than this or is check still the best way to go'

Re(1): I hate it when this happens.
This is really a horrible call on your part. At best he has a hand like he did and then you are still about a 50/50. At worst he has you smoked already! Not a good call.
