is that a threat, or a promise?
LOL

I never mentioned the casino B by name,
or revealed the name of the floor wearing the gators.

Scotty Nguyen once told me "its about winning, not the money". I knew that day I wanted to play poker for a living.

In poker if your a winner. You either make history. Or get rewarded for being a winner.$$

I call BS. There aren't at least two "Baby" in the quote.

I can also see why it would be +EV to tell players that it is about winning, not money.
02-05-2011 , 02:58 PM
sigh.

some moran 3 bets my CO raise for the 3rd time (dude's 3bet stat was 30% wtf), so the first few times i let it go, 3rd time i 4bet w/ A8o, he jams and of course i call it off because **** him. he flips KQo.

This is like the umpteenth time i've run into the half ****** who thinks bloating a pot pre OOP is the way to win and i never win these damned flips. i hate internet pokers. I run so far below EV when all the chips go in argh.

So you saying Scotty is not sincere. I call bs on that. The guy is a legend. He clearly loves the game.

You right he says baby every 2 seconds classic.

If you want to be rewarded for being a winner, you are in the wrong forum. Because unless you are playing in the biggest cash games for decades, no one is going know or care if you are a "winner" or not. If you want to be known as a winner, go play MTTs and get on TV.

Are you ok? Knowone said any of that.

I'm usually a winner 4 or 5 times a week. I don't need any praise from anyone. I have a poker Career. Which is made up of wins and losses on individual sessions.

They're are so many players you never hear about. That don't mean they're not successful.

"Its not about winning pots, its about winning money." is a common 2p2 adage. The fact that Scotty would tell you the opposite makes it suspect.

Ya, you just did, and have posted things like "when i win the ME i will come back and tell all you LLSNL players how wrong you were"... So if you seek to be rewarded for winning, then you better start studying MTT play and forget cash games. There are no rewards for winning in cash games, other than winning its self.

I know Scotty only said that because he has money already.

Its impossible to win every pot. But if you minimize your losses and maximize your profits. In the end you will be a winner. Being a winner means you make money.

Clearly I was joking. If I won any tournament. I would create a new name. No need to brag to anyone.

Would you guys ever want to start a LLSNL poker stars home game?
02-05-2011 , 05:33 PM
when i have vanquished my adversaries,
and in the early morning hours, when i am victorious, and have achieved
dominance over a bunch of degens, oh, i mean, over a field of the toughest of the tough.
i walk out into the parking lot,
and set my winnings on fire,
just to prove to myself, and the world,
that's it's not about the $ for me.
it's about winning.

nothing says that like a wad of Benjamins going up in smoke.

i thought i suggested we utilize poker stars for something like this - i'd be down, but i'd prefer if we multi-tabled it.

Thoughts on this situation.

Player A and Player B in a pot where Player A raised preflop UTG and Player B called from the BB.
On the flop, Player B checks, Player A announces a bet that the dealer apparently misunderstands and states incorrectly. The dealer thought he heard A say ($24) and after the verbal declaration, A throw 5 red chips in the pot. Dealer says "$24", Player B says call. Player A immediately states they announced ($44), and they were throwing 4 more red chips in as Player B said call. The players on the right and left of A both confirm $44 was announced.
The dealer corrects the action and says the bet is $44.
Is B allowed to reconsider their action based on the dealer stating the amount of the bet incorrectly? Are all options available to B (fold, call, raise)?

Happy Super Bowl Sunday

Its a sad day but a happy ending. Last game of the season. Now I don't have an excuse to not grind on Sundays.lol


I got the pack, defense is too vicious. Solid from the secondary to the front 7. Offense is the most skilled I have seen all year. Timing is on point with the QB and WR's.


Also the Packers where favorites to win the superbowl. Before the season ever started.


Go Pack Go............

Since the call stemmed from a misunderstanding of the action, and that misunderstanding came from dealer error, not player error, B should have all options available to him as though he had never called at all.

That said, ime the ruling will be one of the following in about equal porportioin

1. The above.
2. B must call the 44
3. B can either call the additional 20 or fold, surrendering the 24 he has already put in.
