Re(1): Do You Call?
I agree with the other comment regarding your raise to this guy. A10 is not a very strong hand in the first place. There's no telling what a guy like this is limping with and not the kind of player you want to get all in pre-flop with out a big pair. Your not going to move him off a hand pre-flop so the bet is pretty much a waste. As for calling the all in re-reaise, do you really want to be calling all in bets when your best hope is just be a coin flip' I think you just call there and play the flop. Since an ace hit you are probably going to end up in the same place but I still think its a ...

Re(1): Too many outs - agh!!!
I like your play in general except for your bet on the flop. If you are willing to call an all in bet then you should move all in and force him to respond. Regardless, I would have pushed all my chips in as well in that position. ---Troll

Re(1): Bad Timing or Bad Decision at the WSOP?
I would have beat him to the pot. In fact, I probably would have called him a dumbass as I was turning my cards over. WTF are you going to do' If he has aces then so be it and that's just how it goes. Very rarely have I or will I ever lay down KK pre-flop. ---Troll

Re(1): table manner
I think you certainly made the right move and I would have continued to play in the manner that is working for you at the time. Sounds like you had the table scared. When someone is afraid of your play they run their mouth. This is in hopes that you will change your play to be more suitable for them. Don't let what another player says influence your play. ---Troll

Troll needs some help
I lost the email sent to me when I won my Aruba trip. It was the 3rd email with the link to the website to register for the air and hotel. If any of the other winners has the email or just the link I would appreciate sending it to me. john@ Thanks, Troll

Re(1): TexasTroll's FlatRateFax
DW, This service is to faxing what e-mail is to postal mail. You get a fax number just like you would if you called the phone company and had another line put in your office or home. But instead of the faxes coming out on a machine and someone physically puts them on your desk; they are digitized and put in your e-mail. Makes faxing more convenient, secure, and mobile. Anywhere you have access to the internet you can send and/or receive faxes. We turn your email into a fax machine. ---Troll

Introducing the new patent pending Troll Reverse Suck-Out Technology

This new technology can be used anytime you enter a pot with a far superior hand only to have your oppenent suck out with his 2 outer. I put it to work in the first hand of this 6 man Sit-n-Go on UB and as you can see below, the results are undeniable!! condor49 is at seat 0 with 1500.

Did you refer to your husband as brother before you were married' 3. Do your kids think a family reunion is a good place to pick up dates' 4. Do you have all your teeth' ---Troll

Re(1): Ultimate Points-any stories?
Points are the freakin' bomb!! It's like free money and no matter how much money you have it's crazy not to take advantage. I've been scaming the points system on Poker Stars for awhile now but only recently began taking advantage of UB. Biggest Points Win: Poker Stars: $16,000 trip to Monte Carlo Ultimate Bet: $9,000 Aruba trip from a $300 entry (I did win a $300 entry using FPPs but didn't win the trip on that specific entry, but this sounds much better) ---Troll

Re(3): Troll's blog
Hey Green Plastic if you disagree with me then you can just burn in hell sir!!! :-) JK My point was not to say playing multiple games is impossible or can't be done successfully. Anytime you handle multiple tasks your capacity is diminished some amount and you start "dropping balls" when you reach a saturation point. That point is certainly different for different people. In fact, I'm a poster Troll for AADD and playing 2 games actually helps me stay focused on poker and not totally off on another task all together. But I've been down that road of playing 5 and 6 games at once and find I ...

Re(1): help
Don't slow down a bit. You are going to run into Donkeys all the time. You can't stop the suck outs but you will have even more if you don't force the play. I mean you want him all in as a big underdog. Keep playing the game like you are and I promise things will turn around for you. ---Troll

Re(1): Why Why does this happen every month!
Here's my advice. I took this from my latest blog. ---Troll Where’s your Head' – If your head is not 100% in the game you shouldn’t even be at the table. This is a lesson I still have a problem with to this day. I’m just now getting to the point where I can push back from my PC and decide not to play anymore. I read this same advice in Super System and it’s absolutely true. When I’m tired, angry, drunk, bored, short on time or distracted in some why I don’t play good poker. If you are going to play at your best you have to be focused not just on your game but the table as a whole. Every ...

Re(1): Giving a "freecard"
You may have felt better about the hand if you went all in on the flop but it wouldn't have changed a thing. You can only get away from this hand if you have a really good read on the player. But with him betting first and you just calling its hard to put him on a hand there but the K on the turn would have made me very fearful of a straight. You either lay down on the turn or go all the way with the hand. ---Troll

Re(3): UB's Solution to Overlays
DrewAA your post is unreasonable and irrational. The whole point of holding a gauranteed tournament is that no matter how many players sign up, the minimum prize pool is gauranteed. UB cancelling a gauranteed tournament because they will loose money is nothing less than fraud. I do want to point out I didn't see this tournament and can not confirm that it happened or not. ---Troll
