15 Left because the idea with your stack is to double, not to speculate with middling hands. When you double you want to have the most chips as possible. Spewing off large chunks of your stack prevents this. Posted in: Poker Discussion	TheVillageGrinder May 16th, 2013
Congrats Garden City Group/Full Tilt Claims ozzie you are missing the point. DoJ hired GCG. They tell them what to do and when. Your anger is valid but misdirected. Posted in: Poker Sites	TheVillageGrinder May 16th, 2013
15 Left If you are letting yourself get to 8bbs you are likely missing spots. ONly real reason you should be this low is if you take a beat/get coolered. Not getting hands is irrelevant. N ot saying it never happens to good players but I'm sure they regret it when it does happen. Posted in: Poker Discussion	TheVillageGrinder May 16th, 2013
15 Left Man hold up. I didn't even read any of that explanation because it really doesn't matter. I don't mean to be rude but it just doesnt. You have 8bbs to start the hand. herein lies the problem. Unless you took a beat or lost a flip just prior the real question you should be asking yourself is how you allowed yourself to be ground down to 8bbs. You can't let yourself get that low. In all honest it doesn't matter what you do. The guy is never folding to your shove. So basically shoving is akin to calling off. I guess its high time just to get your chips in and hope you win a flip or ... Posted in: Poker Discussion	TheVillageGrinder May 16th, 2013
Things to do in Chicago I agree with this. Chicago traffic can be ridiculous even at the most unpredictable times. Trying to squeeze too much in will just be frustrating. The el should get you about anywhere you want to go. I'd stick with public transit. If you are planning on going to the game on Weds-that could be a tough ticket to get as its Sox vs. Cubs at Wrigley, although if you are solo, getting a singleton might be easier. And if you don't get a ticket/don't wanna pay what the scalpers are asking, then just hop into one of the bars and catch a few innings. Flying into Midway is pretty convenient ...

Congrats Garden City Group/Full Tilt Claims According to the phone rep I spoke with the only info they have received is the press release dated March 13. They are awaiting instructions about how to execute the claims process. They have been given no info about that yet. Posted in: Poker Sites	TheVillageGrinder May 15th, 2013
Congrats Garden City Group/Full Tilt Claims You are assuming their goal is to provide us with timely service. That would be waaaay down on the DoJ's list of priorities. Posted in: Poker Sites	TheVillageGrinder May 14th, 2013
Congrats Garden City Group/Full Tilt Claims I called. They make you give them your name and mailing address. Then they tell you if you registered on the website or not. Then they tell you they have no information about when the claims process will start. I asked him why this is the case. He said because those representing the plantiffs have yet to provide instructions about the process. They only information they have is the press release that was sent out several months ago. When I asked who is representing us, he told me Preet Bharara, US Atty's office. So don't be pissed at Garden City. They aren't being given any ...

UB scandal - new information What motivation would they have to prosecute' DoJ have already stolen all the money they could and now UB is bankrupt. They're too busy coughcorruptcough to worry about piddly shit like this. Posted in: Poker Sites	TheVillageGrinder May 13th, 2013
5k gtd hand on ACR c'mon bro. its a button open, standard cbet and then an over shove when ck'ed to on the turn. Not saying he never has it but is kinda irresponsible to say he almost always does. Plus our hand is pretty underrepped so again, if he is decent, then our opponent should realize we've played it pretty passively and as such he could expect us to fold a reasonable amt of the time. It's possible I'm overthinking it, but he said the guy was decent so I'm trying to give the villain more than a level 1 thought process. Posted in: Poker Discussion	TheVillageGrinder May 12th, 2013
5k gtd hand on ACR If he's solid then 99 is obv crushing his open range otb. If he's solid and you've 3b him a few times already, then he should be starting to think about 4b you light. Give him a chance to do that. If he's solid he's prob not piling 6k into a ~3700 chip pot when checked to on the turn. As played I can't really see how you fold here. If he's got a T oh well. He could also have 5x, a diamond draw, overs, or just nothing. I don't play on Bovada, but players on ACR are the worst I've seen and will do really dumb things for a lot of chips.

Lock Poker busto? Yep and its been confirmed by multiple sources and corroborated by Lock pro tweets that Larsen has in fact taken her Lock stable of pros to Portugal for the last several days, staying in expensive hotel and doing all sort of exotic side trips. mbn Posted in: Poker Sites	TheVillageGrinder May 4th, 2013
Lock Poker busto? Yep and anyone who asks her a question about her involvement with Lock, whether they do it respectfully or not, is having their post deleted. So it looks like its 2+2's agenda to protect pros who associate themselves with scummy poker sites, more so than their rank and file membership who are desperately trying get answers. That said, it appears that Mat and Mason have had about enough and will be taking action against them soon. Posted in: Poker Sites	TheVillageGrinder May 3rd, 2013
Article: Peter King to Introduce U.S. Online Poker Bill "Shortly" See your problem is that you are looking at it from a common sense view point. That doesn't play well when you are talking about politics. Nothing is done for its inherent good or fairness for the citizens. It's all about how do we capitalize on this' They see the states going for it in a serious way so now they get off their ass and do something. Same reactionary bullshit politics.

Tell the American Gaming Association to Stuff it! Deal is dead. Doesn't exactly say why tho / Posted in: Poker Legislation	TheVillageGrinder May 1st, 2013
Tell the American Gaming Association to Stuff it! So infuriating. They're obv just stalling so the deal falls through and they can keep their good ol boy network alive and well and thus offer a shitty product to players. Isnt there a way for Stars to take legal action' Posted in: Poker Legislation	TheVillageGrinder May 1st, 2013

Lock Poker busto? Very well composed post detailing Lock's troubles and contradictions over the last year and why things seem at the very worst right now. Posted in: Poker Sites	TheVillageGrinder Apr 29th, 2013
Lock Poker busto? Also being rumored that Lock lost alot of its money in the Cyprus/Antigua banking crisis of 2012. Not that far fetched in light of the recent news of the dude that was running World Sports Exchange who committed suicide. Guess they pretty much lost it all the same way. Posted in: Poker Sites	TheVillageGrinder Apr 29th, 2013
Lock Poker busto? Cmon BA, do you ever expect that they would ever issue any kind of a statement that says, yo, we're broke. one of those things isn't necessarily a telltale sign but collectively they tell quite a story. You're a good poker player. It's all about putting all the information we have together. All of this added up and we should have a good read on Lock. If they aren't busto then they gotta be really fucking close. Posted in: Poker Sites	TheVillageGrinder Apr 28th, 2013
Is Intertops worth risking a deposit on? [QUOTE=norfair18;7309224]Lock is still solvent/QUOTE] there are some ppl that would disagree: / Posted in: Poker Sites	TheVillageGrinder Apr 28th, 2013
Is Intertops worth risking a deposit on? Intertops is the cream of the crop. Only problem is they are on the Revolution network, which is essentially Lock. Many believe Lock is now insolvent. Posted in: Poker Sites	TheVillageGrinder Apr 27th, 2013
Lock Poker busto? / Posted in: Poker Sites	TheVillageGrinder Apr 27th, 2013

Lock now runniing "exclusive" (Lock site only non-Revolution network) tourneys LOL at that being in the TOS. Basically them admitting they have a shitty company/product. Posted in: Poker Sites	TheVillageGrinder Apr 23rd, 2013
Lock now runniing "exclusive" (Lock site only non-Revolution network) tourneys In all honesty just abandon Lock. Why would you play on any site that makes you wait 10+ weeks for a 3k check and who's money is trading for .50/$1' Posted in: Poker Sites	TheVillageGrinder Apr 23rd, 2013
