Re: How\'d I play this one?
Against a maniac, I reraise with this hand. That is along the lines of what I meant. I never would simply call.

Re: How\'d I play this one?
Just wanted to say that you answered that beautifully. In this type of game, I'd rarely call a raise cold with A9o, even with posiition.

You make some excellent points, Mike. I was unaware that the pros did not keep any of their winnings from the site. Maybe Full Tilt should pay people to sit and play (poorly) in the low limit...

Re: Full Tilt Poker - What do you think?
When I first became a poker enthusiest, Andy Bloch was one of the first pros that I rooted for. I really like the guy and always pull for him. Can't fault a guy for playing to win!

Re: Full Tilt Poker - What do you think?
Andy Bloch has won a bunch of the small tourneys, including a freeroll yesterday. After what happened at this year's WSOP, maybe they see it as practice for beating the amateur tournament player.

Re: AK against multiple opponents
Hey Don,
I play the PP $10+1 single table SnG's. The reason I don't call all-in's early on with AK is all based or risk and reward. The reward of doubling up in that spot is not worth the risk...

Re: Good lay down or way to weak?
I think you can play JJ pre flop either way, and that's just what I do to vary my play. I do think that JJ is one of the toughest hands to play and one that I have screwed up many times in the past...

Re: Playing with a Friend at a B&M
So you suggest just taking the first available seats (most likely at different tables) and then one of us asking for a table change to the other's table? I guess that makes the most sense.
