Push. You have 20BB and can't wait forever. This is a prime spot to pick up some chips. If he's solid, then he may respect your raise and fold, or maybe he calls with an underpair. If folded to him and he folds, you add more than 20% to your stack. If he calls with an underpair, you have a good chance to double. Plus, you're putting a lot of pressure on anyone behind the two of you that might have a mid pair. If you just call, then you're giving odds to someone with a mid-pair, although

[quote user="bfactor"] Jokerstars is obv one of the lamest, least creative, and most overused words in pstars chat boxes however: I think it might actually be gheyer when people call people "luckers" Like let's say donk A gives donk B a bad beat. Donk B will often say something along the lines of "Fuck you, you fucking lucker. Stupid lucker omfg I hate luckers." "Lucker" ....... Lol, cmon man. You knowwwwww it must have all started when some racist redneck

[quote user="herschelw"] Generally I think it's pretty tough to find backing while on a horrendous downswing. Additionally if you struggle with a downswing now how are you going to play if you're $30k in makeup and not getting to keep any winnings until that's paid back. Backing can be really helpful if you stress is from not being able to afford losing. You might try parttimepoker.com for short term backing. [/quote] Agreed. And def look into parttimepoker.com if you're

I haven't played on UB in probably 6 or 7 years, yet I get this e-mail today. I sure as hell haven't referred anyone to them, especially with all the shit that went down at the site. Anybody else NOT play there or refer anyone, but get this e-mail? [quote]We are writing to update you on your friend’s progress in our Refer A Friend program.

I thought the same thing, but have no clue who in the hell would do that as I haven't even talked about UB in years. I just think it's kind of odd and thought I'd see if anyone else has received the e-mail.

[quote user="bef99hwk"] This might be one of those times I might actually have folded KK pre....or flatted the 72 bet and if that doesn't scare anyone I dunno what does. [/quote] Ditto. I looked at the action and thought, "SOMEBODY has AA, I'd hate to do it, but I'd probably fold."

[quote user="LLaBelle"] pretty good resolution. I always unregister and take the t$ and program the phone to wake me up, and if I feel like playing I will :) [/quote] Yep. Always unregister immediately. Then, if you feel like playing, you can always register because those games never (or at least rarely) ever completely fill up. I guess I shouldn't say "always," as it can be beneficial to remain registered if you know you'll be slightly late getting to the comp.

I know the feeling. I actually bubbled an online tournament in a similar manner the other night. And, like you, I always blow up. But for some reason, I wasn't pissed this time. I felt like I had played a good game (minus one hand) and was surprisingly happy, even though I bubbled. Several have seen me bitch on here recently, but I've also decided I'm done with that (at least when it comes to poker). I'm just going to play the best game I can and make the best decisions I can, the

[quote user="MarkFSU1"] large field MTTs have the largest equity...fields are full of huge donks and the payouts are enormous...not putting these in your game is a huge mistake/leak in your game [/quote] But how long do you continue to play before you realize you suck at poker and finally give up?

[quote user="ANTIHERO"] very stupid rule, you should be able to fold whenever it is you turn to act, that is the one thing that i like about stars that full tilt does not have. [/quote] You SHOULD be able to fold your hand if it's your turn to act, even if nobody has bet, but why would you? You're throwing money away by doing this. Sure, the vast majority of time you would lose, but many times I've seen hands checked down to the river and the big blind won the hand with something
