Online Poker Tournament Rankings

So Phelps gets moved to my table today at Ceasars and the first thing he has to say is how there's this thread bad mouthing him on Pocket Fives. Soooo, that means that the first words I get to say to the only winner of 8 Olympic gold medals I'm ever likely to meet is, "You can't take bad mouthing on pocket fives seriously. It's what they do. Don't let it bother you." He said it didn't, but I think it would have been nice if the kid could have made it through one

I play 4 or 5 days a week at the Bellagio. Mostly the daily tourney, but also the occasional nlhe cash game. I haven't played enough on-line since the UIEGA passed to amount to anything. I will play the occasional low stakes cash game in the wee hours of the morning when I can't sleep and have nothing else to do, but I can't remember the last time I played an on-line tourney. Live poker is much more satisfying to me and while the big multi-day events are just too draining for my 55 year

I got the call too. I doubt it's a scam, but that dioesn't mean it's worth doing.

" Would I be willing to sink online poker just to hang Scott Tom." I'm curious as to why "someone in the UB/AP system" would believe exposing Scott Tom as a cheat would "sink online poker." Certainly the details of this scandal that are currently public knowledge aren't good for online poker, but there's nothing that has been revealed so far that would necessarily be fatal to the industry as a whole. So what was his point? Was this UB/AP insider implying that hanging Scott Tom would result in a wider

Thank you, Eric.

Thanks all, I'm a little emabarrased since Waco set the standard so high with two wins in less than a week, but I'll take it none the less. I'm thinking of having my name legally changed to "Bluffington." Since the poker media all seem to think it's just too good to pass up, who am I to argue? rlegards, DloubleLucky

It's worse than moronic, it's suspicious. Very little has made sense about the way on-line poker has handled any of this. From not lobbying congress to running for the hills at the first excuse, I have to believe there is something at work here they know that we don't. What that may be I could only guess, but I think it's time everyone said goodbye to on-line poker until the industry starts acting more rationally. That's easy for me to say. I've been playing less and less on-line in the last year

Aren't you the guy who posted some time back about getting ripped off by a couple of hookers? LOL. If they'd turned up on 2+2 a few days later claiming they'd given you money you'd refused to give back and that you had tried to put your penis on their backs would you now be wanting to kick your own ass? Look, Todd. I think it's swell to go through life looking for the best in people, but it's more than a little naive to say things like, "I just dont believe anyone can or would make up some of the

I've just read the Navarro book, Beanie, and I have to say I was a little disappointed. There's some useful information in it, but nothing like what I lead to expect. I suppose if Hellmuth and Cloutier really didn't know this stuff without Navarro having to tell them I can see why they don't earn their living playing cash games.

Andy Block is about as nice a guy as you'll find. He wasn't trying to insult Doyle, but he did manage to make himself look kind of silly. TJ put Block in his place pretty quickly when he responded to Block's; "AQ, he can't fold queens there" with; "he can fold queens there if he thinks they're BEAT."
