Yea, guess you're right. Thanks.

Don't let him deal until he stops imo. No fish is worth a cheat. Next youll be letting him pull angles and raise less than min and etc etc because he's a fish. See where im going? Just explain nicely that he is welcome at your game as long as he doesn't cheat and point out clearly how and why nobody else is doing what he is doing. Or when you're dealer and he folds show his cards to the table and make a big show of it...or do the same at a showdown he makes it to. Flip it on him and make him realize what he's doing

I don't really want to do the same back, it might incourage him to carry on. Also breaking the rules cause someone else does it isn't my style. I was thinking of a penalty?? 10bb?? Or a punch in the arm. I can't think of a fair punishment. I'd rather play with good players who know the rules tbh but the others won't play without him.

How are the games nowadays after Black Friday?

I've been away from poker for a while since Full Tilt took my laughably small recreational bankroll!

is it legal to play online poker in the USA yet?

i want to move down there

Was I right to call the all in here. MP+1 and LP have both been going all in (on different hands) for about half the hands on the last 2 circuits. The one time LP got called he had a mid-level off suit 2 gapper and lost a lot of chips to a short stack.
If this is in the wrong place can a mod please move it.

Pretty sure you can play just not on stars, tilt or cereus. Bodod and cake are ok though.


I'm guessing this a freeroll? Never ever ever folding AK pre flop in a freeroll tournament

Edit: Or pretty much any tournament for that matter.

Its a promotion they are running at the moment, play so much cash one day get a ticket to the next days freeroll. At this point we are down to just over 60 players left from 940, top 100 get paid (but not much).

Ray

what bb/100 is classed as 'crushing'?
in b4 350.

depends on the limit , but anything over 8 is very good .

What are the fundamental differences in playing strategy for limit hold'em vs NLH?

I play limit hold`em and there is no limit to starting buy in as in NL. I normally buy in with 20 big bets is this about right or should I buy in for more?

Ray

20 is fine . I believe if every street is capped , it takes 16 bbs , so 20 is fine . i would reload at 16 tho .

We like to play small 8 man tourneys, but we always have the blinds wrong they ether go wat to fast or way to slow how ever we do it. Can anyone help?

have them go up each time a player gets knocked out . or set a time limit and use a timer .

Thanks Leroy. Once on a 2c/4c limit table one guy bought in for $500 couldn`t see the point in that.

Ray

Did he actually play with the stack or just buy-in with it and leave right after? Could have been a bankroll verification. If he actually played it... some people do it for the lulz, some want to brag it, and some might try to use it for intimidating others.

can you e-mailed once someone quotes your post?

be emailed that is^

No.

ah, thx

He played with it rather badly. I was on the table just over an hour and he lost about $5 he was raising everything.
