i remember when people couldnt see my hole cards

I played with Tony g on tonygpoker.com back in like 2004 or 2005.

always a smart move to play in high stakes games with the scumball who runs the site from overseas in an unregulated market

LOL, it was actually just a $10 tourney I wad against him. He was the short stack and pushed all in. I reraised all in with pocket queens. Big blind woke up with AA and eliminated us both.

<3 Jim Brier's, "Well, we can assume an UTG raising range of AA-JJ, AK, AQ, and AJs..."

That name doesn't ring a bell...unreal how I missed out.

it was for Rekrul!

I remember playing dealer's choice home games more than 20 years ago, where we probably played 15 games and not a one of them was a flop game. We'd never even heard of HE.

B*itches and followers
Fives and dimes

etc., etc.

Much fun being an 18 year old playing high-low and getting an Ace and a 3 with a $2,100 pot on the table. (I potted it, hit a deuce. Ooops.) (If you understand that sentence, God bless you - you know the game.)

Someone try and figure out the odds of hitting your hand and it being good in a game of High Chicago, low Chicago, (3 way split) 4 gets another card, Suicide Jack kills the hand.

Your head will explode.

I remember setting the cocktail tables at Paradise with festive stuff on the holidays. You could play no brainer, abc, 2'nd level poker and destroy.

used paypal to buy chips at paradise poker

When you so school that your old don't even school anymore, you know you made it.

In between is such a sick game. Drawing that deuce must have made you feel like puking.

Excellent thread. The browser on PokerRoom.com was terrific, and afaik, few places have replicated that.

Also, if I recall, didn't PR.com have some of the highest stakes HU limit games back in the day?

Hell, still makes me feel like puking all this time later. Worst thing was that it was the last deuce in the deck. Although there were three 3s still out, so it could have been worse I guess!

I remember playing blackjack in Vegas using silver dollars. Guess how long ago that was.

I remember when jamming AJs+ 88+ the first hand of a sng was a legit strategic discussion on 2p2 because you would get called by at least one person a super high% of the time.

I remember 1st time playing online for cash. Planet Poker around '98-'99. memory is kinda fuzzy from the weed. I know I played Paradise around then as well. Neteller.
i remember 1st time playing holdem in '94. 2-4 limit.

Good to see In Between is still making high schoolers cry.

I remember when you got to pick your seat in the party sngs, and people would sit as far as they could away from "gamboholic". It wasnt a race to sit to her left, but to sit allllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the way across the table.

The pre sngpt days.....ahhhh

this - 4 bet ZOMG! Aces!!

+1 and when a 20k pot was considered newsworthy (especially when he won with A-high!)

This lol

In between, what a game.

we played that if your draw card tied you had to double what you bet. Junior year, 460 in the pot, first card ace, called it low, second card ace, naturally plays high, potted it, third card Ace!!!!!!!!!!!! had to go home to get more money from my shoebox to cover the 920.
