The Official Poker Thread

Yeah its terrible like that, just gotta get used to it…

I know, I know, it still sucks to lose a few days worth of work all in one shot. Giving me a bitter taste in my mouth about NL.

i think you’re thinking of Andy Bloch (who was on the MIT Blackjack Team)

Beal is a billionaire banker who thinks he can beat the top pros in heads up limit hold 'em

whole book about the thing called The Banker, The PRofessor, and the Suicide King

yeah beal is the guy i meant
he’s a billionaire banker from texas

said he was gonna quit poker, but then just recently flew/is going to fly to some tournament

Just got back from the casino here, man you guys wouldnt believe the hands at my table. There mustve been a full house every 10 hands or so. Plus there was quads 3 times, and a fuckin ROYAL FLUSH!!! Shitty thing was buddy that had the Royal only won like 30 bucks :rofl:

yo any of you guys play partypoker???
we should set up an SRK tourny
i’m feeling more confident everyday, i wanna see how i compare to you guys
especially DaFlipMasta, since he taught me a few things

i placed 5th in a 30 man multi table last night
won 15 bucks but still, i felt like a winner, the feeling was great hahaha
i’m fuckin hooked

any of you ever win a Step tourny???

hey opt: where the cheese at?/?

lol, i expect to have my stars chat banned any day now. this guy criticized me because i defended my blind by going all in with 37. my opponent was stealing essentially every time so i figured he couldn’t call an all in. it was a resteal. i kind of blew up at the guy. i don’t know why, i rarely get mad at the table. he thought it was a pride thing to go all in but i was just trying to resteal. o the guy called with A4, lol. i won tho.

let me guess. . .you thought you got served some justice there too right??

damn, all this stuff going on with JJprodigy and mark seif is really gonna mess up the future of online poker. everyone who wants to make it illegal is gonna be pointing to these incidents.

mind if u link us to a site or something?

The JJProdigy thing was actually sealed up today when he got jacked of his $140K first prize and it was distributed to the others. The Mark Seif thing is dodgy and unproven. Who knows where that’s going. As time goes by I’m starting to believe less and less but again…I just wanna see some proof.

I have details and links on both of those stories in my blog: http://viscant.blogspot.com . Scroll beneath the gay figure skating stuff, I think I wrote about this 2 days ago.

o is that right viscant? that’s definitely for the best, it’s just not right for him to be able to enter into a tournament twice. reguardless if he’s good, bad, or even if his two accounts don’t end up on the same table, it’s an unfair advantage. lmao at the excuse he gave. too bad i believed it for like a minute.

basically the story is a guy entered the big sunday party poker tournament with two accounts and one of his accounts won it. his excuse was that the account who won it was his grandma’s account and he took over when she got far in the tournament.

k i need some info here please
i currently play partypoker with real money
but yesterday they changed the system, and instead of starting with 800 chips, we start with 2000 chips in sit&go (single table) tournies.
this doesn’t suit my style because it allows people to really wait around until they actually do hit the cards, and each tourny takes way too long to finish.
with 800 chips, it speeds up the process and forces people to make a move sooner than later.

anyways,
i’m looking for a new site to play on.
what sites do you guys play on and what is the amount of starting chips at the sit&gos??

This has got to be the luckiest donk I’ve ever played with.

eh, doesn’t look too bad orochi. try losing ~$150 in a $60 sit and go when you finish third instead of first by losing to a player’s 44 when you have KK, then his AJ when you have AQ, then his 66 when you have AT. and he had the nerve to be a dick about it too lol.

Eh. Being 32 down when working on a 100 bonus still sucks.

nevermind. I made it back in an hour.
