I thought he was drawing dead and was waiting for the chips to come my way.

OUCH man, that really breaks my heart. no homo. good thing you didn’t lose over $25. that’s the way i look at it.

Jeff Jarrett looks like he could be Daniel Negreanu’s dad…

phil ivey playing at full tilt again. and mike matusow is begging Phil to send some “cheese” over hahaha that dude is a millionaire and asks for money. hahaha comedy.

Phil was nice enough to play with people at the dime tables. nice fellow. but he is getting squashed left and right from so many players hahahah

“I BUSTED PHIL IVEY!! OMG OMG MY LIFE IS COMPLETE” hahaha funny shit in there

I nearly always give a solid opponent credit for the jack, but I’m also a tight pussy.

Well first of all i said that it is short term(i.e. winning 100 in 30 minutes PER day), circumstantial and somewhat complicated. I will give a simple example of a tactic that could be used(and is used by many degenerate gamblers DAILY) best in vegas and only slightly possible in AC because of the hundreds of roulette wheels spinning on any given day within walking distance on the strip. Basically the system is an advancement on the martingale and is against the gamblers fallacy(which says that after a spin of a certain number there is no higher or lesser chance that the result of the next spin will be that same number). With that said you must keep in mind that the dealer spins the ball at a different location of the wheel each time and with differing velocities. With simple thought you can probably assume (without thinking only in a mathematic sense) that there is an increased chance that the next spin will be different. My brother, some friends and I have tested numerous plans in AC and vegas(although im only 19).One of the best and most effective plan that has not failed YET that i will explain for free, although it has costed me a lot of time, effort, and money to learn and master it is pretty simple. What was done was that we would take for example, 1650 dollars and keep walking around to as many wheels as we could until we found a wheel that has not yet rolled 2 of either of the 6 2-to-1 bets in the last 8-10 spins(YES 8-10 11!! to be 99% sure.)This does not occur often but happens daily. Then we would place 25 dollars on those 2 bets. For example. 25 dollars on the 1st twelve and 25 dollars on the middle line of numbers both of which did not hit in the last 12 spins. If we win on one of them we are +25 and are done and move on, if they both hit be we are +50 and either go home or get once more and done for the day. You cannot win both if u bet on say 1st and 3rd twelve bets or two of the strip bets which is fine. If you lose you of course continue on that table with the martingale 50,100,200, then 400 each. What i personally did most of the time according to my notes we would see 8 numbers from either of the 3rd of number come out like 1,3,1,5,6,4,10,9. Which is rare on one wheel but possible to find because of all the wheels in vegas and 3-4 people walking around to different casinos at a given time. Then we would bet on the 2nd 12 and 3rd 12 numbers. We bet $25 to start because we were scared and were happy with a $25 or $50 win. Usually(id say 6 out of 10) time we hit that first bet and be done at the table. 85% of the time we hit by the 2nd bet and 99% of the time we hit on the 3rd bet. On only ONE occasion did we bet 200 x 2 but we won. We started at 2 x 25 bets while we did it which is what i recommend. I live in cali now and i only tried this on my visits to vegas and when i lived in AC. My brother now stays in vegas and plays poker but he tells me he does this at least 4-5 times a week with success.

Early problems that made us go broke were impatience,(waiting for only 6 number) greed(trying to win hundreds in day), and bad habits( blowing it on other forms of gambling.
I ask anyone to try this method on their own. If they have 1650 and give results. the casinos do not care because the amount of money is peanuts to them. There are 100’s of people in vegas doing systems like this in vegas for a LIVING($50,000 yearly). Anyone who knows about vegas knows what i mean. If you are not extremely unlucky you should make your initial investment x3 or more before something hapless occurs(u may NEVER lose). Just be sure that if u somehow lose the 1650 that u stop and restart from the beginning betting $25(just a recommendation, i have never experienced this).

It took me awhile to write this so if its not clear or you have questions i will clarify them when i get a chance. Just letting you know im not bs’ing what i said. My brother and I only used this tactic to get a little extra money for our poker bankrolls. If u wanna test it without risking money u can go to http://www.roulette.com/flash_roulette/index.html and open a bunch of pages and keep spinning till u get the right circumstance and place your bets.

How can you tell when/if Phil or any of the other pro’s are up and about at FTP?

I dunno about your theory / method. First time I went to a casino I went right to the roulette wheel and noticed it was on 36 (my lucky number) and I’m like “damn I bet its gonna land on 36 again” but I wasnt able to buy chips in time. Then it actually fucking landed on 36. 2 spins in a row same number. I’m not sure if this is the 1% you’re talking about or what but it was weird.

there is no real schedule for the players to play. whenever i sign on FullTilt, there is usually pros playing on the high limit tables with the tables in red color, indicating that a pro is sitting. double click the table and then u’ll see them play. i’ve seen Matusow, ivey, Agostino, Juanda, and Allen Cunningham. one player who plays under the name Dustin Dirksen, is a pretty good player. i’ve seen him take Ivey’s money the other day, although Ivey had about 6x the buyin ($60,000) and he took Agostino’s money with a suckout Ace high flush on the river (Agostino had KK and went all-in on the turn against AQos with 3 clubs on the turn). i rarely come on there, but it’s exciting to watch sometimes.

check out this omaha hand i played at a 1v1 table.

Wow, okay yeah. John D’Agostino’s sitting, playing heads up against some guy and he just raped him for 30k. Damn…

Edit: Make that 40k. o.o;

Yeah I’m there watching that too.
Insane.

Bro I’ve found that much money in the fucking laundry before.

good for you. also congrats on missing the point of my post. never quote me again, thanks.

I dont see any point to it. It was just a hand where someone elses hand became useless. You think a full house is big in Omaha?? Get real you rookie.
