Re: Stay at home dad/poker player..... is it possible?

I am in a similar situation with a 9 and 6 year-old. The school year was crazy enough with running them around from one activity to another. I had been dreading the onset of summer vacation. I was...

Re: Another laptop post..

I got the Inspiron 6000 a couple weeks ago. It is slick. I can get up to 1920 x 1200 resolution, but usually keep it at 1600 x 1200 to put a little less strain on the eyes.

Thanks to those who...

Re: Cashed in WPT event. They wont pay me!

This is typical Party Poker customer service, or lack thereof. I am not pleased that the money wasn't in my account when promised. I probably would have grabbed more cash on the boat if I knew it...

Re: woohoo! PPM 4 semi thread

I'm on table #116. Have only seen one flop in the first 25 hands. Blinds are coming up, so maybe I'll get to play. But that's ok. I put in my order for good cards to come a little later....

Re: Stealing the Blinds on the Button Late in Tourney

You are most likely ahead of the blinds here. With less than 10xBB, I can't think of too many points in a tournament where I wouldn't be pushing all in with KJ from the button. You have an...

Re: AA utg

Oops. I did kind of skip over the part where pots were being won without flops. I was just thinking about the looseness of play that often takes place just inside the money. I agree, an aggressive...

Re: AA utg

AA doesn't come around that often. Sometimes you have to take a calculated risk and maximize the opportunity to get back into the tournament by limping with AA. However, I don't believe this is the...

Caught part of the flop with mediocre cards

Here are a couple mediocre starting hands that caught part of the flop in a party $50 MTT NL tourney. I was uncomfortable playing these hands and gave up big pots. The first hand was bottom two...

Re: AA after the flop

Thanks guys. I will look to push harder on the re-raise next time. I was definitely playing with fire there. Last week I was thinking about how I hadn't had AA cracked in a tourney for a long...

AA after the flop

I played two MTTs at Party last night and busted out in each one with AA UTG.

In the 2nd tourney I got the action I was looking for but just got unlucky. There were 45 players left out of 130. I...

Re: Tournament Adjustments

Don't be afraid of being short-stacked!

One of the biggest problems I see from otherwise decent players is panic of falling behind in chips. You need to keep a level head and look for the right...

Re: Big tournament wins and taxes...

It doesn't matter if you end up with a net profit or net loss on the year. You still should document your wins and losses for each session. Otherwise, you may find yourself with a larger tax burden...

Re: Reality Check re: new Miller, Sklansky, Malmuth Book: Small Stake

Just got Miller's book. I like how he has broken out pre-flop guidelines between 3-5 per flop vs. 6-8 per flop. While the normal Party Poker table seems to fit the 3-5 players per flop average, I...

Re: Fold or call here?

Good call. It sucks to get knocked out. But fold this hand and you are on life support anyways.

You aren't that big of a dog in this situation. The small blind should be going in with anything...

Re: First one to Rebuy?

Thanks everyone for the responses. I was expecting the range of the KQ call as being "Dicey … more or less have to take a coin flip if you can get one" to "pretty bad call"--(appreciate the...

First one to Rebuy?

I finally went and checked out the local casino’s $100 NL single-rebuy tournament. Based on what I had seen on 2+2, I was all set with my $210. I was the 51st person to register (out of 65) and was...

Re: Chip leader w/ AKs vs. all-ins

It seemed to me that the BB had a pair 88 - JJ, or possibly AK or AQ. If the BB had AQ, then button would be in great position to win the larger side pot of 14600. Don't think the BB would make...

Chip leader w/ AKs vs. all-ins

Here’s a decision that I am curious as to how some of the 2+2ers would have played it. It’s from a $200 tournament with about 225 players left. Top 130 get paid, but obviously the real money is...

Re: Party Poker $200K Saturday Night thread

Tough luck on that hand. KK was brutal last night. I saw it lose at least three other times as a big favorite when we got down to the money. Can't recall seeing KK win any of the showdowns. I...

Re: Close to the money question

Give me these cards a couple positions further back I am definitely pushing.

Even from here I may push with these cards at this stage. Players are less likely to call just outside the bubble than...

Re: Anybody Having Decent Success At Party\'s $33 3-table SNGs?

Play is tighter than normal SNG’s, but very beatable. Actually, I have had more success with the three-table games than the SNG’s. Maybe because raises get more respect and I am not getting as many...

Memorial Weekend I got the opportunity to experience a chip and a chair.

It was a live 21-player re-buy tourney with the blinds rapidly rising every 20 minutes. I was the chip leader at my table....
