Re:Wretchy/Whatslogic multi-accounting?
Meeting him really shouldn't make any difference. I'm sure a lot of people thought Bernie Madoff was a great guy... It is what it is, and really should needs to be looked objectively first(first acknowledge his crime, and expand from there).

Can anyone who's defending Wretchy explain at all, please, how this is different than JJProdigy's incident other than the fact that JJ didn't out himself'

Re:Do you ever feel like you'll never make the money in a tourney ever again??
You also need to take into account that that's not pure profit... There's plenty of money that goes into buyins.

Re:QQ vs. D1rtyR1v3r, 55+r... thoughts?
i guess that's my question mainly. if he does have AK is it worth calling, and what percent of the time does he have AK' I don't think he's flatting AA, or KK here, so I figure he's shoving those too since I've shown so much strength. How often does he show up with each'

QQ vs. D1rtyR1v3r, 55+r... thoughts?
This is my 5th or 6th hand at this table, so no reads, though everyone knows D1rtyR1v3r so I assume its not AS important. I really can't see him doing this with anything that I beat other AK. I can't imagine that he'd actually be shoving JJ here, but myabe I'm way off.

Re:Help me with my plan!!
What are your goals' 10k would probably be sufficient, especially if you practice good game selection, but I think you'd be a lot better off with 20k just to avoid any potential stress.

Re:Deep on Stars' 32.000$ guaranteed - what to do?
Seems like a standard shove, calling to see a flop sounds atrocious to me... Actually, reraising and calling a shove might be even better, gives him a chance to try to get cute

Re:Weird spot in 109 1 and 1 rebuy on ft.
I think you have to reraise the flop, no' With two players in and position on them both, in addition to the flush draw on board, youre gonna find out a ton about their hands by reraising. You're definitely raising for value too, so it isn't just and "information raise". I'm curious to know why you just called on the flop' I gotta think as played this river is a fold, although it does reek of a missed draw, and a call isn't the worst thing ever but I just don't see it...

Re:I'm winning 200r tonight
I think there's a difference between ridiculing someone's play, like you claim SCTrojans does, and pointing out where someone made a mistake and why. Trojans almost always gives a reason (and a good one at that) for why a specific move was a mistake... And to the guy that said this the KJh play wasn't even close to bad, I think that's a bit of an overstatement personally...

Apologies, yours was helpful too, I'm just tired of people responding without a little more in depth analysis on WHY they're doing what they're doing. Again, apologies. But the "/thread" may have helped me out too... :)

Re(1): Hand from early in Nightly 100k? Is it too early to call?
I don't know about shouldn't... sort of depends on what kind of gambling mood you're in. I mean, he's either doing this with a pair, the same hand or maybe AQ or AJ (logically speaking anyway, there could be something that happened to entice him to push). This is really a judgment call, very very read dependent. In my humble opinion, i think it's too early to call. Obviously your stack is plenty healty so its probably not worht it, but again, if you wanna gamble then GAMBOLLLL... I think you're rarely getting it in ahead here, flippin at best most of the time, and a small percentage of the ...

Re(4): Opinions/Strategies wanted... playing vs. a Flush Draw
If you do indeed have two pair, and your opponent is indeed on a naked flush draw (no straights or pairs) keeping the pot small doesn't make sense to me. Why do you want to check behind and keep the pot small if you have the guy as a 2 to 1 dog on the flop and a 4 to 1 dog on the turn' Giving a guy a free look at a flush draw when you're huge is baaaad I think...

Re(1): Opinions/Strategies wanted... playing vs. a Flush Draw
The very straightforward answer is to bet just enough so that he has incorrect odds to draw to it. If he calls with incorrect odds, you're theoretically getting the better of it, even if it hits (assuming you fold when he hits). Probably not what you were looking to hear, and obviously tourney variables are going to be a consideration as well... Actually, now that I think about it, I think there's a whole chapter in Harrington on Holdem discussing how to play against drawing hands... Might have to go back and reread. Hope that helped a little
