Re: Worst play you\'ve ever lost to in a home game...

This play astounded me, and caused me to change my style for the night (went on to with the 11 person tourney).

I had KJc on the button, so I raised 3bb before the flop. All fold except one...

Re: HUMOR (long): My Bizarre Theory of Beginner\'s Games

Funny post.

Reminds me very much of our (more or less) monthy game, which, for the most part, really is couples poker.

Re: Did i have any chance of winning, or was it just \"one of those nights\"

Interesting. Doesn't sound like whining to me because I have basically the same question. I've been consistently winning at our regular home game (won the last three, got 2nd and third the two...

Re: Funniest Played Hand?

Here's my (beer induced) bonehead play (last weekend in low stakes home game):

Our home poker tourney. Blinds are t500-1000, I'm the big blind.

A few limpers, I check my big blind.

I'v got...

Re: Playing against friends

They're playing for fun. If you can't do the same, find another game.

Re: When did you feel ready to UPGRADE...YOUR TABLE AND CHIPS

You can build a very nice table for $200-300 bucks.

Buy a set of 500 custom color, no label ASM clay chips: I think they run less than 60 cents apiece, so call it $350. These are very nice,...

Re: I almost crapped my pants laughing

Despite all the petty bickering to follow, I think the original story is pretty funny.

Re: Poker table shapes?

I definitely prefer round or octagon since it allows all players to have a reasonable view of all the other players. Being on the flat side of a long table sucks, since you can't really see the...

Re: Proper Shuffling and ethics

I riffle 3 or 4 times, then do a box shuffle (becuase my riffle technique flashes the bottom card to observant players). I offer the cut to the player to my right.

Our game is pretty casual. We...

Re: Do you dominate your home poker games?

We've been trying to host a monthly game since January...missed a couple months this spring, but we've had four STT's with 8-9 people.

So far I've finished 3-1-1-1. I'd say I'm doing OK...

Sounds like fun to me. What are your staring chip stacks and what's your blind structure?

Re: What do you think of 100xBB structure

The problem with starting with a small stack in relation to the blinds is that it makes the game more dependant on luck. If you take it to the extreme (1bb), it's clearly a game of luck since you're...

My friend used pool table felt from a gaming supplies place (meullers, I think it was called).

It's very nice.

Re: For the Poker Room.... BEER

Why bother with any physical conversion? I just picked up a cheap fridge and got standard keg tap parts online (CO2 line/guage, tap, hose, etc.).

I just open the door to pour a cold one. I...

Re: Am I overplaying AKo?

Thanks for your feedback. I'm hoping I can learn from this.

Also, duly noted about the use of "raise"...not sure why I put it that way.

Am I overplaying AKo?

This starting hand bit me in the butt three times last night. I'm thinking I'm taking it too far. It was a live NL MTT, start with 40BB which increase every 20 minutes. I felt like I had zero room...

Re: Wait for a better spot?

I'd have pushed pre-flop too.

You're down to less than 7bb, you gotta make your move while you still have enough chips to make 'em think about it. Wait longer and your push is an insta-call for...
