Re: Rakeback Deals
I know that PL is affiliated w Pokerkings and I would love to support that but do any of these keep money in other currencies: Interpoker Pokerheaven Fortunepoker O poker Celebpoker and same as original ques will i be eligible... thanks in advance...Afraid so - yes -
Re: Rakeback Deals
You can not keep money in any currency however. The currency of Boss is Euro's and if you open a pokerkings account' date=' it will be in Euros. Some Boss sites (Paradise/Virgin off the top of my head) dont use the Boss banking and allow you to keep the account in the currency of your choice. Every time you log on to the poker you convert it into Euros - when you log off, it is converted back to your account and currency at the same exchange rate you received when logging on (i.e. you face no exchange rate losses)[/quote'] So you are saying that Pokerkings does use boss banking and I have to buy Euro? -
Re: Rakeback Deals I am really keen to get in on Rakeback now that I am starting again online after a short break .... Is it possible to sign up with pokerkings with rakeback despite having a paradise account already... I am just not keen on buying US$ atm and it seems boss media can be kept in any currency (Including Aus$ :cow)

Re: CL - Tuesday 10th of March
Pretty happy to back Bayern if people get carried away about Lisbon... I would have to see a signficant shift in the odds though... I don't think it could shift enough though :tongue2Bayern gonna probably play like this:Butt Lell - Breno - Lucio - Lahm Ottl - Ze/Bommel Sosa/Oddo---------- Schweinsteiger Klose -- Podolski Still quality in it, but odds not high enough IMO. Bayern wont care if they lose or draw at the end.. (not a reason to back Lisbon though) ;) -
Re: CL - Tuesday 10th of March
personally ' date=' i think about the 2 spanish sides , now i know liverpool always raise there game in the champions league , but real will not go down without a fight plus liverpool have been a bit iffy at home this season soo it wouldnt surprise me if real get a result there , also villereal are a tad short priced , they are a good side but panthanikos will not make that easy for them but villereal sure have to much for these .[/quote'] Iffy at home to bottom teams that come not to play "Football"... undefeated againts all top teams home and away.... Liverpool being able to play on the counter at home is pretty intimidating me thinks for any opp manager... looks like Benayoun and Riera are out which poses issues for wing positions however I dont have too many issues with Babel and Kuyt with Alonso Gerrard and Mach locking up the middle and really that is the key isn't it.... Liverpool is used to shutting down teams at high pace and they shouldn't have too many issues here again.... HT draw again seems the option as it has been for Liverpool this season (Including first leg).... whatever the result Madrid can't afford to concede as then they may get opened up on counter way too much also likelyhood of Torres not starting means we may see a very cautious first half... Skybets 2.2 on it is a bit of a joke and cannot be missed.... I will be putting 0.2 on Liverpool -1 HC @ 5... Madrid Leaky defense could break at any time and they may need to go for it.... it is very much speculative however it somewhat covers my original bet and definately provides opportunity for a scoop... though I will probably wait to place that one untill right before KO... -
Re: Microstakes: Is limping Pocket Pairs UTG more profitable than raising them? I am playing 10/20c or 25c/50c atm online and do not raise UTG ever... I fell it works well though I can see how micro games could turn into limpathons and there may be a need to raise... pp are so marginal for cash games oop raising UTG with anything JJ+ (For me even thats a stretch) is nothing but Tourney play... the times you do flop a set you can't get max value because of bad pos and every other flop is marginal... but its clear here that sample sizes are bad... look forward to when they reach a good level...:ok

Re: CL - Wednesday 25 February
Your right if Higuan/ Torres are switched on it could be a very interesting match... the thing that over rides for me is that realistically RM do not experience cagey affairs like this on a regular enough basis there are simply too many free flowing spanish teams... I am not even sure vs Barca or the Madrid derby qualifies in the type of matches that Liverpool experience 6x each season.... sure Madrid may score 4+ goals regularly but really what does that mean in a match were they will come against one of the best defensive teams in the world... Liverpools midfield is so strong on its day... not only this 4 or 5 goals is fine when you are confident in a game that you can comfortably outscore opponents and therefore push forward without too much trouble... Liverpool would eat that up and Ramos knows this obviously... RM will of course take the initiative being their home leg but by all means caution will reek throughout their play... honestly I feel that RM just aren't suited to this type of match and their lack of ability to adapt to this tight cup format will be their undoing... any result is clearly possible here...four draws for me again i think :) ... had same last night but bloody arsenal pullled it out tha bag :( grrr first games are always mega tight like..might put all to be under 1.5 goals too or maybe 2.5 to be safe as madrid worry me at the mo. higuan is class..... -
Re: Uefa Cup 26/2/2009
Clarky' date=' if Villa were sitting around 6-10th spot then they would give the UEFA Cup more of a go, but now that they can realistically qualify for CL there is a great sense of urgency. Villa are depleted and still don't have a deep bench so it is obvious they must continue to keep as much fresh legs as possible.[/quote'] Well its clear that in this situation betting on CSKA is going to be the way and who am i to refuse... however anyone that has bet on them in the past 24 hours was far too late... I did take a max bet on CSKA -1.5 @ 3.4 with 100% intent to lay as the market is flooded... bookies when hearing this news would probably even overcompensate in adjusting their odds because they know the type of frenzy that this type of news attracts... one question i always ask myself... with the current market sentiment can i possibly find value... and with everybody in the world betting on CSKA the answer is no... best option for those late is take a smaller stake on CSKA -2 or 2.5... small stake larger handicap.... with no other commitments CSKA could very much go all out and score as many as possible... they are capable of 2-3 goals against most teams in this competition... I would not rule out more... -
Re: UEFA Cup ( 18-19 02 2009 )
Thing is here is that PSG has not been at this level of late and players such as Hoarau are very much looking to prove himself (He is well able to fit into PSG first team however has competition with Guily playing forward) I think that F. Campbell may be an option as he may be considered in a similar situation w/o looking at the odds I would need 2/1 at least maybe even 5/2 to take him as he is young and only on loan where as Hoarou has less time in front of him and may find his career halt if nothing happens for him... just some thoughts (some should note that recearching reserve players can be a telling factor in some of these types of match ups... one can easily see that Hoarou is a proven striker and has a scoring record in this comp this season)... Scratch that not sure Campbell starting... I hear Bent is however his motivations can not be trusted as it seems his motivation may lie elsewhere... not sure who could resist the 3/1 available at Bet365 for such a proven striker.... I think I have to nibble on this one...I guess that an even better comparison could be made with PSG considering they mentioned they are not interested in the Uefa Cup and that they rested the players and still won. But I guess this will not happen tonight considering the players that spurs can't count on, there lack of interest and there opponent... They are playing against a strong team that will give it's best on the field, a team that comes from the Champions League and that will play at home with there fans, weather etc. The game will not be as easy as 6-0 for Shakhtar in the first half :tongue2however I think that in the end Shakhtar will win this one -

Re: What Do All you Tourney Players Think... I am in partial agreement... I think 100% calling on the river is the go... 700 is not great but at the start of the tourney it is still about 15m so calling is the go... I am otherwise happy about this hand to be honest despite other criticism about bet sizes/ not betting flop... I think both are options depending on personal preference... mine is to check.... if anyone is curious he had 10 8o (A nice call on the SB with 2 to act... including an utg limper... although I guess 1st hand utg limp means nothing)

Re: online Cash game KK cutoff Basically there is no better indication possible for you of AA with only this amount invested in the pot... It is tough (and very possibly wrong) to fold here... I am of the opinion though in NLHE Cash that if you feel you have an edge over players (I know you do... unless you tilt ;)) then you are quite able to make a fold here... If you are playing above yourself then call immediately it does not get much better than this... finally consider this... because he has only seen you reraise once and with AA if he is intelligent he will assume not that you only reraise with AA but that you are fairly conservative about getting you money in this way he also may notice your positional play... to him his folding equity is HUGE... If he has AK... he is terrible against AA.... 30% against KK and 45% against QQ... factoring playing AK out of position he may have felt it was a more +EV play to shove as aposed to playing out of pos... I wouldn't be folding AK here and I think he may feel the same... I think if he is at all switched on he may have read into your play more than you think (considering only 40 hands he would have to be assuming a lot though)... of course he could be a nublet looking for a flip (so he thinks) or as you concluded AA (you have to think this is the least likely of the three though)... .... I will chat more with you about this when I speak to you again....

Re: Classy Plays - Great Bluffs I just love that I was able to play this out 100% how I wanted.... this play knows me as LAG in late position and I know he can be rather tight in early pos... I am almost 100% he is using that.... in HU situation with no one else to act I have only seen him raise or fold (once he called with AKo but I feel this may have been mixing it up more than anything)... there is added value in the pot from somebody folding in a forced post so I am almost obligated to raise.... he asks the questions... and I give him the answer that fits... ***** Hand 1354541519 ***** 0.25/0.50 Texas Hold'em (No Limit) - Tuesday, 9 December 2008 6:18:07 AM Table TH 538 (Real/Cash Game) Seat 4: RayPenber (103.55) Seat 6: Dr.Furman (45.75) Seat 5: ermakeahPP (54.12) Seat 10: SuperBowl (48.00) Seat 1: Sohucasino (61.98) Seat 2: IOL0wntre (8.50) Seat 3: JCYF1 (39.62) Seat 7: Christ_LPP (48.20) Seat 8: -Niko- (52.30) ermakeahPP post SB 0.25 Dr.Furman post BB 0.50 ** Deal ** RayPenber [4s, 3h] Dr.Furman [N/A, N/A] ermakeahPP [N/A, N/A] SuperBowl [N/A, N/A] Sohucasino [N/A, N/A] IOL0wntre [N/A, N/A] JCYF1 [N/A, N/A] Christ_LPP [N/A, N/A] -Niko- [N/A, N/A] *** Bet Round 1 *** Christ_LPP Fold -Niko- Fold SuperBowl Fold Sohucasino Fold IOL0wntre Fold JCYF1 Fold RayPenber Raise to 1.50 ermakeahPP Fold Dr.Furman Call 1.50 *** Flop(Board): *** : [3c, Ah, 8h] *** Bet Round 2 *** Dr.Furman Bet 2.62 RayPenber Raise to 6.50 Dr.Furman Call 6.50 *** Turn(Board): *** : [3c, Ah, 8h, 8s] *** Bet Round 3 *** Dr.Furman Check RayPenber Check *** River(Board): *** : [3c, Ah, 8h, 8s, 6d] *** Bet Round 4 *** Dr.Furman Check RayPenber Bet 7.00 Dr.Furman Fold *** Showdown *** : Rake: 0.80 Total Pot: 15.70 RayPenber By default Win: 15.70 Dr.Furman Fold Win: 0.00 ermakeahPP Fold Win: 0.00 SuperBowl Fold Win: 0.00 Sohucasino Fold Win: 0.00 IOL0wntre Fold Win: 0.00 JCYF1 Fold Win: 0.00 Christ_LPP Fold Win: 0.00 -Niko- Fold Win: 0.00

Folding KK
in Poker
Re: Folding KK Any stacks here I think full info on the game is needed... it was a good result however to know if it was correct stack sizes... off the bat though i am going to say this fold loses a lot in the long run... depending on his range of course... which you have said is quite tight for this play... even that said QQ, AJ.... given his call in late pos and the impression i get of him from you AA is out.... QQ and AJ is a much larger range than 55, 33 and JJ (which I suspect a lot of the time he reraises with preflop in pos also).... I await the further info...:ok

Re: [Cash, FR]What Do People Think Of This Line... Sorry 4got about the thread all together... here it is... I would agree with many and say I really probably shouldn't have been playing this hand (or many at all really) in such a position but i flt I saw enough in the hand to continue... I was of the opinion that the strength of myself staying in the hand would slow him down... it didn't therefore there were three possible conclusions... he had an uber strong hand... a big/medium draw... or air... of the three the latter two seemed most likely given the circumstances of the hand (the texture of the board if you will in correlation to his bet sizing) and with the draws missing by the river their really was only one course of action... I feel I got a little lucky here and definately this hand has educated me in a way... if you can learn while making money thaty simply cannot be a bad thing... thanks all for the discussion i enjoyed it (there will 100% be more in the near future)...:ok andro84 won ($0.00), showed [9c 5h]
