I've had two in over four years of playing at least a little most days. The second one was rather memorable since it was the last hand in a tournament. I would have won the hand anyway as long as the opponent didn't improve enough on the river, but it was still sween to catch the royal.

I hope August worked out well, and that playing a little this month will help you to work on your self-discipline. It's not a simple thing for everyone to refrain from doing things they know they shouldn't do, or to keep from doing these things too much. Many people can improve, so with luck...

The single most important term for an entry-level poker player to learn may be "tight aggressive". It's a style of play where you play a relatively low proportion of hands (tight), but when you do play, you do so aggressively, largely by leading the betting and raising rather than calling...

There are various factors that can affect final table performance, some of which happen before getting there. For instance, do you track where your stack stands when you reach them? Doing so can be quite revealing. For example, if you tend to be among the smaller stacks, then you're more...

I'd tend to doubt that either has a significant advantage. I wouldn't read anything into Antonius taking more time to act. He came to prominence playing a lot of heads up, and he may well be the one with more Omaha experience.

I suspect anyone who has played a decent amount of poker has run into streaks where their AA hands get cracked more often than the math would indicate. That's the nature of variance. The flip side is that other streaks happen where you win more than the stats suggest. What I suspect happens...

Very nice. I'm not familiar with the site or its terms of use, so I hope that there are no cashout restrictions or that they're easy enough to clear.

I'm always glad to see forums take a hard line against both those who share PWs and those who use them when they shouldn't. And I have no issue at all if I'm not active enough to receive them. I also wish the poker rooms would crack down on them. That said, I don't know that they're likely...

Checking QQ here is a very tight play that I would only make occasionally under unusual circumstances. So the large majority of the time, the question is how much to raise. With 1400 in the pot, it costs 200 to stay in, leaving you with an effective chip stack of 3800. If you make it say...

A fine example of how important it is to maintain bankroll self-discipline at all times because even short lapses can have major impact. And sometimes - maybe most times - it will take a lot longer to win back what we basically threw away.

Aside from the annoyance of Doyle's Room changing networks a number of times during the past few years, I've never had any reason for concern with the site. So based on that, I expect everything will be back on the up and up within a reasonable amount of time.

Depending how serious you are about reaching your $2500 target by the end of March, you may want to figure out a more specific plan to get there, not just what levels you intend to play at. For instance, let's say I want to make $1000 by then, and that I know my historic ring game win rate...

I'm glad to see the PPA understands that someone being politically conservative doesn't automatically mean they're against individual freedom of choice in matters such as whether to play online poker. The quote about not categorizing everyone is certainlt appropriate in this regard. I...

I'm ArjonDR at Doyle's. Thanks and cheers

Good stuff I'm ArjonTB at Third Bullet cheers

Very nice. It's always tempting to play in these tournaments, but I'm really trying to avoid having more sites with small amounts of money on them. But I weaken in my resolves sometimes, so ya never know. Maybe the next one... or the one after... or... :p

Actually. there's an error or at least an inaccuracy almost right at the beginning. The best hand doesn't win unless it's still in the pot at showdown.

Thanks for the notification. Not sure yet what I'm likely to be up to at that time, but if I happen to be up for a bit of poker tournament action, you may just see em there. Cheers

It seems like he may not have that $9 million for very long. I saw somewhere - maybe on cardplayer? - that the Danish government is looking to collect two-third in taxes, even though Eastgate moved out of the country before his big score. $3 million is still a lot of money, of course, but...

I watch poker on TV for enjoyment. It's not great for learning much since the shows are heavily edited so as to present the situations that will be of most interest / drama, often when the stacks have gotten short relative to the blinds. So applying what you see in other situations isn't...
