    Now I really dislike this companys online presence, for reasons outlined in other threads - however for the 2nd time ever they have decided to give a deposit reload bonus so who am I to turn it down ;) In the usual VC style they fcuked up and have sent everyone the wrong bonus code however after pestering customer support I have found the correct code to be "toohot2" for a 25% reload bonus up to 100 dollars. Now having tanked a nice chilean bottle of red wine (cono sur - 5 quid from your off licence and not bad at all) during the freeroll I am pissed and away to try the VC cash tables (bad combo maybe :lol) Enjoy.....................

    A very advanced NL hold em play

    Re: A very advanced NL hold em play :hope Good luck mate I would say making a CB on the flop after raising and missing is usually a good strong move. Especially against weak opposition. Of course there are times when you should check but if you put in a good bet with top set and with nothing it is hard for your opponents to put you on a hand. Jez

    Amusing anecdote (From barry gs website..link at bottom) I first played with Phil in a no-limit side game in Los Angeles in 1992. I didn’t pay attention to tournament poker back then, but I had heard that he was a cocky kid who had won a big tournament. He was playing fast and loose and showing his hands and needling people whenever he outplayed them. Well, I was pretty cocky too. Phil opened for a raise, I reraised and Phil called. After the flop, I bet, Phil raised and I reraised him all-in. He thought for a while, showed me top pair and then folded. I showed him Deuce-Three offsuit which bore no relation to the flop. Phil stood up and said, “Nice play buddy, but that’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever done. Do you realize that giving me that kind of information is going to cost you all of your money? It’s because of players like you that I make millions of dollars a year playing poker.†:rollin http://www.barrygreenstein.com/player.htm

    Re: Woah Thats a very good point slapdash, but if that was the case he probably would not have gone all in, but made a tiny bet instead.

    Date / Time: 2005-06-17 17:10:00 Title: Kirill Gerasimov Makes an Amazing Call Log: Kirill Gerasimov was heads up with an unknown player at table 146. Both players had approximately even stacks of $7500, with Gerasimov having a slight edge. The board was Ah-Kh-Jx-X-X with about $2000 in the pot. Gerasimov checked and mistakenly heard the unknown player say "check," causing Gerasimov to prematurely flip over his missed flush draw of 10h-6h. The unknown player announced that he never said "check," the floor was called over, and the ruling was that the unknown player should have had an opportunity to act. The unkown player moved all in, and unbelievably Gerasimov called with 10 high. The unknown player says good call, flips over his 7-2 and Kirill Gerasimov wins the table. Look for the video interview with Kirill Gerasimov on CardPlayer.com soon :clap :clap :eek :eek :eek :eek :eek I can see the logic, if the other guy had 10 hi beat he would have just checked...but still what a fcuking call!

    A very advanced NL hold em play

    "The Delayed Bluff". This is a tough and very advanced play that few players use, but when it is executed at the right time you can get some very sweet results with it. I used to use this occasionly, but only when I had good notes on a player with regards to continuation bets (I will explain that jargon later), however thomas keller wrote a great article on this in a back issue of cardplayer which really refined my use of this play. I will now share my thoughts on it on PL... This play is for use short handed or heads up, it can also be used in the later stages of tournaments when usually someone will raise preflop and get 1 caller, leaving the rest of the play headsup - the stacks in play must be deep on both sides. You will have probably noticed that when an aggressive player raises preflop a lot have a tendancy to to fire again on the flop, regardless of if they hit or not. This is called a "continuation" bet or CB for short and is usually a strong play as it disguises your hand if you always do it. It is a VERY helpful thing to note on someone, if you ever see the fact that they have raised preflop and then bet the flop with nothing in their hand having hit then stick a little CB in their note box for future reference on this play... If a player never makes a CB unless they hit it is also a good thing to note for obvious reasons! Of course a lot of the time, especially in tournaments, you wont know for sure if your opponent makes CBs or not, if this is the case then I would suggest if your opponent has been aggressive in general he is probably capable of it. Ok onto the play. Say you are playing late in a tournament and an aggressive mid pos player has opened for a decent raise, you have position (very important to this play) on him, both your stacks are deep, and you decide to call him with a suited connector, say 67of hearts. The flop comes J 4 2 rainbow - a total miss for you :(. Your opponent now fires a decent bet in again and of course 99% of players would fold here but this is where this play steps in ;) You flat call him. Not because you think you are winning or have a decent draw - it is plainly obvious you dont! But because you know there is a very good chance he is just bluffing with a CB and you can take the pot off him later. The turn is another 2 (a total blank) and lo and behold your opponent checks knowing he has been caught. You put in a decent bet and take down the pot mucking your cards :). This is a dangerous, advanced and risky play to use but I have made an awful lot of money using it on heads up cash games and hey we wouldnt be playing poker if we didnt like to gamble now and again would we :) It is important to note you must not use this play when there is an obvious draw on the board. A decent player will put you square on the draw and fire again on the turn forcing you to fold. 567 with two spades is a very bad flop to attempt this on. Q 8 2 rainbow is much better! Also like I said before, it really helps to know your opponent is capable of CB's.... Jez
