He probably figured that the short stacked guy was pushing all-in with a top pair (or at best a flopped set if he was really...

Re: kem or copag?
The only problem with buying KEMs right now (other than the price) is that they are only making bridge sized cards (correct me if I'm wrong).

Re: Bad shufflers at home game
In our home game, we play on a 10-player oval table. It only makes sense for us to have 1 or 2 dedicated dealers.
What we do for shuffling, however, is that whom ever has the button is...

Re: Recommendation needed.....
I'm sure he has chips. I'm sure he meant ring game when he said cash game. They are basically the same thing.

Generally, you may need to play more aggressively on the bubble. Take advantage of the everyone else playing tight and steal blinds/pots. Blinds should be big enough to make it worth stealing even...

Re: Seeing a card
You should have announced that you saw the card and made sure the dealer(s) were more carelful when dealing cards from that point forward.
There is no need to send cards "sailing" through the air,...

Re: Felt, Baize, velveteen fabric?
I don't know what baize is, but I'd definately 100% recommend velveteen over felt.
I have played on felt and velveteen. Felt is horrible for balling up and getting in the way of cards. Plus...

Re: Home Tourney - was this a bad call?
Unless you just lost a hand, you should have pushed with any two cards before the blinds got to you the last time.

Re: For all the norman chad detractors
I enjoy Norman Chad. When I sit down to watch poker, I do so for entertainment. I try not to take it seriously and I find that he is very funny in a really dumb way. It's fun to relax to.

Re: YMTC on a possible angle shooter
Agreed with the two previous posters. Look immediately to the dealer to confirm that the out-of-turn all-in re-raise is binding.
If not, put in a pot size raise.
