i'm gonna be in Dallas from Sat-Thur this coming week. probably try to get up to play some 1/2nl. are there usually a good # of tables going at this limit? any recommendations on the best time of day or the best days in general would be helpful. i'll probably go back through the thread to find out some more info like buy-in, etc. thanks.

always 1/2 going, nights and weekends are obv better

FYP

easy game.

Harrington's books are still the best available. Anyone who uses his strategy is still killing the game.

But if you want you can 'Decide' to play great poker the Annie Duke way. rofl.

I will be compleately honest with you here. Of the few rooms I have worked in and all the rooms I have played in, I have never seen a dealer count the pot in a non pot limit game. I would agree that this is valuable information however the reason it's not given is simply the amount of time it would take the dealer to make an accurate count.

Casinos are in the buisness to make money and slowing the game down to count the pot is not condusive to making money.

If you want an edge on your competion then practice counting the pot. It's not that diffacult, dealers do it in pot limit games and all pots under 50$, most of the time anyway.

Counting the pot is a great exercise for keeping your head in the game and paying attention to the action and your opponets tendacies.

It says you can ask, it does not say the dealer has to count it for you.

The issue here is OPTAH, (One Player To A Hand) if a player or the dealer tells you how much is in the pot, they have violated the OPTAH rule.

Lets look at some rules from RRoP (Robert's Rules of Poker) the authority that most poker rooms refer to when writing rule books.

This rule out dates 2008 by at least 10 years or more.

Thanks PK. This is definitely something I need to work on.

Maybe you should challenge Fold_Pls HU4Rollz. Otherwise, maybe ya'll could have a reading contest. I think you might have an edge at reading.

I would like to challenge you sir.

I will take everything that you have! All of it!

what's the stake?

I haven't read a poker strategy book in my life, so I'm sure you would be heavily favored in the reading contest.

May I suggest a foot race from the Poker Room parking lot door to the Inn and back at high noon on July 4th. One or both of you will collapse for heat exhaustion but it should be a great 3 minutes.

50 cent ante per bet up to $100, $1 ante for anything over. So, if you play the $5 bj table (why oh why?), your ante is 10% of your bet - very -EV. If you bet say $50, $75, $100, your ante is 1%, .67%, and .5% of your bet - better EV but still a pain in the butt to pay this every hand. And never ever ever keep track of how much you pay in antes over the course of a night, it will genuinely discourage you.

I already beat ya last night. How many times did you go broke? lol.

I love them 'powah pokah' players thinking they can bully the table.

You are right on one point, I did bully my table last night. Let us know when you get the balls to finally move up to 2/5.

If empowerment would like to play HU 10/20 let me know. we'll play 10/20 with 5k bi + 3 rebuys. Winner will be decided when the opponent goes broke.

Seems weird that you are selling pieces at relatively small buyin tournaments and then challenging guys to 10/20NL heads up matches. Doesn't seem to add up

Because I'm mostly a cash game player. I'm considered a fish in tourneys. I don't want to spend 100% of myself. There are a few 2+2ers have played cash with me before and can confirm I'm rolled for 10/20 cash games.

Does anybody know if they run single table sattys for the River Main?

Yeah the last weekend or two before the main they'll run some direct qualifying sts

Don't they run some kind of big Mega Sattys?

Yeah on some sundays. There's a thread in live mtt

My friend and I are looking into going out for the series and are looking for a weekly/monthly rental that is within about a 10 minute drive of winstar. Where can we stay for cheap in the area? If anyone has any suggestions or can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Any ex-Pokerstars player still roaming this thread? I'm 4timmy and have been playing live every other weekend doing 24hrs+ sessions. Would like to put some names to faces of players that I've played against on Pokerstars.
