I know this (calling) was the worst option. But mr chip leader was banging at most pots, and I wanted to see this flop. Until…

madmike1: raises 18311 to 26311 and is all-in
newportking: folds
Berkshire: raises 61945 to 88256 and is all-in
Hold_emNL: folds

Now it’s my stack (18k) which is barely 6x the bb, and i’m getting around 3.2:1. With 3 re-raises, im most likely beat. I didn’t put Hold_emNL on a hand cuz he’s been stealing from every position left and right. I put berkshire on jacks or lower and trying to limit it to a race. As for madmike, he seemed desperate for a double up. He could easily have slick down to k-j. Do I wait it out or stuff it in?

Well it was a bad call with AK in the first place imo(maybe not bad persee, but questionable I’d say for sure in your spot, personally Id say bad call)

As soon as it got raised to 8000 with KQo you should have folded, after calling though Id say you gotta fold for sure.

I think in this position i’d rather raise… if he knows your raising into that board, any players going to go ā€œwow he’s got a wheel, i have to foldā€

Are you crazy ?? You could be raising into the nuts. You do know the best hand in Razz is A2345 right ??

You also could be raising into a non qualifying hand, so you could be raising the worst hand possible. Razz is a stupid fucking game.

Was playing a small tourney today…Guy didn’t really know what he was doing, called 3 all ins. First was a J-10-3, all rainbow. He had pocket 9s, my friend had J-10. J-10 is all in, the guy turns a 9 and a 3 to make his boat. Second hand, I go all in with 10-8 suited with 3-4-8 on the board. He calls with 2-6 and rivers a 5. Last hand, friend goes all in with 5-6 suited and got his two pair. Guy rivers a club with his 3-4 suited and hits his flush. Keep in mind that calling wasn’t ever a good deal for him, he was calling to ā€œload us upā€. Back to back to back hands on this. Sometimes I hate poker.

Really? Why him? Just curious. I figure people wouldn’t like Phil Helmuth or Mike Matusow. But they are fun to watch.

I dont like him because in the 2003 wsop soemone did something and TJ questioned it, but of course he was wrong. Then he got all pissed off and ended up getting busted out a few hands later. And hes always got this smug old bastard look on his face it just makes me wanna double leg drop kick his neck.

damn ohama is so easy to win money at on full tilt. i sat down with 11 bucks and i’m up to 39 in like 30 mins. in 5 /10 cent pot limit.

I’m playing at a place that offers a 100% bonus right now and if you reload buy tomorrow you get a next 100% bonus.

Send me a PM for info and so I can refer you. We each get $25 id I refer you so its win win. Send a PM.

SvN, u got a screen name?

my parents are planning to go to Morongo tomorrow, so i’mma try my best to sneak into the poker room. my bankroll will be around $50. good enough to start? and which table should i join? .50/1.00? 1/2?

Well those table limits do not even exist in casinos. Lowest limits at morongo are 3/6 i believe for limit. As for no limit they have a 1-2 or 1-3 blind games but you should always buy the max which is 100-500 depending on casino. If you only have a 50 dollar bankroll honestly, you have no place in a casino poker room. You should have at least 20 times the big blind(25 in kill games) to sit at a limit table. Therfore it would be ideal to sit at a 3/6 table with 120 dollars. You can comfortably play your hand without worrying about your chips for awhile. I would just save your money because your 50 will be eaten up quite quickly unless you sit into a rush which is rare. If you are going no matter what though, then take a chance and throw that 50 on one hand of blackjack or pai gow and if you win then go play poker, if not go home.

Oh and my aim is svnguyen86 i only use it once it awhile though. You can msg me if you got any ?'s

is it a play to get the money thang?

SvN i took your advice. my plan was to just go in and scout how they played. it was difficult to hold myself back in getting chips hahaha. so i’m gonna save up so next time i’mma roll at least $150 in my pocket before i walk in.

i’ve noticed that ur sn is Vietnamese? and i’m also assuming ur 18/19??? i’m viet and 19 too! =)

i’ll ask 1 question at a time on SRk boards so here goes:

what was ur first experience like in a casino poker room and how did you do?
