The Official Poker Thread

by the way, for anyone who likes a good poker book, pick up Mike Matusow's "Check Raising the Devil"

I read it in 3 days.

Very good read.

I'm jlzinck on FT, PS, UB and Bodog.

I played in a pokersoup.yv private horse tourney on Sunday night.

It was the Stud Hi portion and I had Rolled Up Kings.

Got it all in on 6th street vs Trip Jacks and villian hit the 1 outer (last Jack) to beat my Full House. Meh

I can setup a SCF Private tourney on Full Tilt if anyone wants to play.

Ugh.. Just got back from my local game here and it started out great but went downhill quickly... Getting cards but it wasn't coming through.

Early rounds I put in a 3x raise and got a couple of callers. Check raised all in with A_K suited and a K86 board. One caller with an 8-6 in the hole. It finished out 10/10 to counterfeit him rather ugly. Great to win, but thats never a good sign.... Decided to push all in with 9-9 on an K-5-3 board and ran into A-K. Had 6 blinds and only 3x the bet made after the flop.

ouch. that's a tough push with a K on the flop.

50$ an hour isnt bad, where I get my massages it costs 30$ for thirty minutes and 55$ for an hour. Thirty minutes is long enough.

I've started playing mainly on Full Tilt, instead of PokerStars. Does anyone prefer one overthe other?

I like FT better but my Full Tilt doesn't load so i'm forced to play Pokerstars

The best I've done in a tournament was 299th out of 6500 (paid pretty well). I've won quite a few 1-table tournaments though.

I started on FullTilt mainly because pokerstars didn't support MACs at the time I signed up. I've been on pokerstars for about 3-4 months now and pretty much play there. One because my account has money in i and two because they have a lot of smaller sit and gos. I like being able to play a 9 player tournament or a 10 player double or nothing if I want to play some cards and not have to set aside 2-3 hours for a 90+ person tournament.

I've been playing a lot of the 5.00 double or nothing. You just have to finish 5th to win so they are pretty fast even if you win. They also help the patients part of the game as you have to pick your spots a bit better once you get down to 6-7 players and you have some small stacks.
