Re: Strange Things You've Seen On The Tables.... I got massively abused, and I mean a serious 10 minute rant for calling someones 750 overbet with KQs in a 40 person tourny. I did River his 10/10 but the poor bloke just went chicken oriental. Delightful.

Re: Punters Lounge Poker Site?
Very true I'm sure but does anyone remember the good old days where bonuses were achievable to the average/small time rounder and there was good value for money to be had......i'm sure that there exists in the market a space for a more generous Site and I'm of the belief that you could still attract a large number of punters if the site was right. Maybe I'm dead wrong though.The problem is not creating a poker site or a bookmaker for that matter, that's a piece of cake. The problem is it costs thousands of pounds to market that product properly and compete with the other companies. :ok -
Please forgive me, I'm not bragging but the strangest thing happened to me last night. I played a 6 seat S&G satellite and won the tourny in less than 3 minutes and in just 7 hands. I've seen a lot of "variance" in my time but last night was just freaky. I'll post a history screen shot when I get home tonight.

Re: Anyone Play on Third Bullet? Cheers Dobbin.

Re: 24 hour challenge - €1 to ??? I'd be wary of collusion on this, wouldn't be too hard for a bunch of friends to make $200 each on this.

Their email is enticing me but I'm wary of sites I've not heard of before:

Re: Should I steal? Aimar, In my opinion he's just fishing. I'd re-reaise him here.

Re: Should I steal? What he doesn't tell you is that he got quite a few of them chips with 2 pair. 5's and 2's.

Re: Should I steal? as for being passive...hmmm not sure about that.

Re: Should I steal? ...I'll keep quiet! :)

Re: Twice in one day I think, and I know it sounds corny, but you have to be a little brave. SOmetimes in Tournies things will fall for you and you'll have a major stack going into the latter stages...sometimes they won't. You have to steal though, you have to take advantage of the guy's like yourself and by that I mean people just wanting to get past the bubble and who are playing timidly, you really need to use your position too. I've played two this weekend on Virgin, one 2nd place and one limping into the money at 18th and I've quaded my BR there! :)

Re: Twice in one day I have no idea. At all. :)

Re: Twice in one day Well done Nade, wait until you get your first final table and then your first win - it's a grand feeling.

Re: Anyone fed up of poker. I played much higher Cash Tables and STT's than normal last night with gay abandon. Unded up 26c down after 4 hours play.....:lol

Re: Anyone fed up of poker.
:lol :lol Cheers for the advice, Valiant and Philossify!Dunno what makes you say that Sexy Keks -
Re: Anyone fed up of poker. Val I'm sorry about your personal circumstances but can I ask whether you are doing something positive with your winnings at all or do you hoard your bankroll because its the only cash (cos of the CSA) you can truly call your own? If I am to be totally honest Valiant if I lose this BR I can't really justify replacing it and believe me a lot of time and effort has gone into it, that said, I did win a couple of healthy tournies a couple of month ago and withdrew the money and paid most off the credit card bill with it. I think I'm going to have to reassess what I want from Poker, maybe going up the levels isn't the be all and end all and I should be happy that I manage to consistently eke out a profit. Maybe I should start to play the higher level STT's before worrying about higher level cash games....but the problem is.....and this is the real doozzie here....I just love the game but I'm mortally afraid of losing. I proabably sound like a right nutter....:lol

Re: Odds Calculator If you click on the link on my sig, I think I still have somekind of odds calculator there that may aid you. Then again maybe not.

Re: Anyone fed up of poker. Invasor, Same with me mate. I found I had a son out of the blue and that under current regulations they are allowed to take 40% of my wages (7K in arrears) Should hear today or tomorrow if I've got a very well(ish) paid job in the public sector...if I haven't got it then god knows what I'm going to do....I just thank god I have an angel of a girlfriend.

Re: Anyone fed up of poker. Hey Phillosify, Do you know what I think my problem is? bottle. Until I learn not to be afraid of losing my BR then i'm really not going to progess at all. I can only take my hat off and bow to people like "The Mole" as his thread just leaves me agog. Maybe I also have to adhere to the fact that I may not just have the temprement for the more serious cash games. The thing is I know I can play. Another thing I should mention is that my CSA has just gone up to £500.00 a month, this must be having a subconcious effect on my game even though I like to think it's not. Time to put up or shut up I guess.

Re: Anyone fed up of poker. I'm beginning to think I have Psychological problems. I just can't go up a level on NL Cash games. I have this irrational fear of losing even a single cent of the bankroll I've so lovingly nurtured. I can consistently win on my level but my game just disappears when I go up. I'm on the verge of just withdrawing my BR and spending it on something less detrimental to my mental well being.

Re: Cash game hands Staffy, your initial raise is always the same. Probably doesn't make a shed of a difference.

Re: Reason I always lose in cash
For me it's very simple...it's not the amount I raise, it's not my position, it's not my read on the other players....it's due to: Scandenavians.Reason I always lose in cash -
Re: Good all round game? I'm consistently decent at STTs and do well in MTTs I completely suck at cash which pees me off no end.

Re: 250% Initial Deposit Bonus on CelebPoker I'm liking CD Poker at the moment, even on the very lowest levels they give you points towards your bonus. Ok, 600 points per $5.00 isn't great but I can clear 600+ points a week on .05/.10 multi-tabling - always busy and to me it's free money.
