“They all know me as a small-timer. But that’s about to change.”

It’s that time of year again!

This will be my 5th long trip to Las Vegas for the World Series of Poker. You can read about my trip last year, plus a couple bonus Harrah’s Cherokee trips, right here.

This will also be my longest trip yet, a massive 18 days! I’ll be in town June 14 - July 2. On the agenda: some WSOP bracelet events, lots of low stakes NLHE and PLO cash games, great food, and as mu

nl5 (notice that pt4 shows party poker nl5 as nl4) -$5943.81

nl10 -$773.92 -15 buy ins below EV

Total loss -$15509.91

This is me playing nl2, nl5 and nl10 on party poker for one year.

My history begins somewhere in same period when they started to show WSOP shows in television. I think I have played 12-13 years nows mainly NL2, some amount of NL5 and little bit of NL10 what is the biggest stake i've ever played.

I have not played poker for many years now . I just got sick of playing to be fair . However i have had an itch to get back playing , this time for fun .
After checking out the state of various poker sites , i was surprised to find out that Pokerstars is no longer the busiest . So GGpoker it is i guess.
My poker background was mostly playing Heads op SNGs , the odd tournament and some zoom cash . All NL Holdem .

So why PLO ? Why not . I do love a challenge . I have a decent understanding of the

BTN straddles 10
SB folds
BB [Villain] calls 10 (7k stack)
UTG folds
EP calls 10 (5k stack)
MP [Hero] raises to 55 with Kc Qc Jh Tc (3k stack)
HJ folds
CO calls 55 (3k stack)
BTN folds
BB calls 55
EP calls 55

Villain is an older black guy. He’s playing 67/33/5 pre. He straddles for 25 every BTN and every UTG.

He’s been pretty active post-flop for the last five hours—winning a lot of hands without showdown.

But I think the deck is just hitting him in the face. I feel like he doesn’t bluff very often.

Howdy Folks,

Gibraltar based, licensed and regulated, 888poker has had a record breaking year thus far with several milestones including; launch of PokerCam and Team features, 132% year-on year growth in liquidity, EGR winner of Best Poker Software, EGR winner of Socially Responsible Operator of the Year, two Team 888poker 2011 WSOP Bracelet Wins and now another two Team 888poker players at the 2011 WSOP Main Event Final Table –yes, we have two November Niners!

Hello All,

This is a simple thread. Make 100k profit from mtt's. I got laid off from my job a couple of months ago and have returned to the online felt to make some money. I used to play full time ~10 years ago in Europe but moved to NYC 7 years ago for real life work. The last 6 weeks or so have been a lot of fun! I just realized how much I missed the freedom of living life as a poker player. Sure it can be stressful at times, but that all depends on your own personal preparation and outlook on

5/10, full ring, effective stacks ~2200.
V is a decent player, quite tight overall, not a crusher but probably a small winner, although I have played just a handful of sessions with him.

H is utg and opens to 30 with AcKd.
A bunch of callers, like 4-5.
V in SB squeezes to 230.
BB folds.

First decision point:
- shove (least favourite option, H being quite deep and IP) ;
- 4bet smallish, to ~450-500;
- call.

H calls, all others folds, HU.

Flop (pot ~600, effective stacks ~2000):
4s4h2s
V bets 200
H calls

Thoughts? Concerns? How much bigger will it be than Global Poker, the other major site running under sweepstakes laws?

After the Full Tilt Poker debacle of 2011 both Howard Lederer and Chris Ferguson were by and large villainized by the poker community. Lederer took some responsibility for what happened and Ferguson seemed to take none. It's been over 12 years since Full Tilt imploded. Do you forgive Lederer and Ferguson?

Action table on a Friday night at local casino.. regular straddles, blind bets and the odd out of turn blind raises pre flop

Have played with villain previously, who runs a private home game and is used to playing far higher stakes.. earlier in the night he table changed due to lack of action, and had shown down K2o etc after pre flop raises were all folded around to

Just before this hand, villain lost a $5k pot (three ways) when his turned straight lost to a rivered nut flush.. a few hands before
