Re: Party is ending their WSOP sats on 06/22

Of course this isn't what I was told, but promising nonetheless:

Re: Party is ending their WSOP sats on 06/22

I called them and of course got about a half hour run around. Initially, they told me that any freerolls left would be refunded once the tourney starts. But if you don't play them, they won't be...

Re: Canterbury 6/12

I echo that it is a great game. There seems to be this contingent of middle aged men and women who are too proud to play the blue chips but not willing to read a book or two. These are the types...

Re: 2+2\'ers in vegas for opening weekend of the NCAA tournament

I'll be there Thurs. through Mon. with a few of my lurker buddies. We are staying at the Luxor, but plan on playing at the rooms with higher spreads. I think we spent most of our time at the Mirage...

Re: Canterbury in January

You shouldn't have a problem unless your car is more than let's say 10 years old. If you were really worried you can get a tank heater installed for about $80. This would ensure that your engine...

Re: A Scene From Canterbury (30/60)

I think that this was a middle aged white guy. He had on some sort of puffy, leather, aviator type jacket with numbers on the sleeve. I certainly wasn't trying to flame the guy, I just was...

A Scene From Canterbury (30/60)

Potentially someone who was at table #31 Friday evening could clarify, but I am pretty sure I heard something like this from the neighboring 6/12 table. You have to imagine the verbal action as rapid...

Re: Canterbury this weekend

It'll be an absolute zoo. I would recommend calling and having a buddy put your name on the board. Otherwise prepare for a long wait.

This is only half true, right? You are also giving the opportunity to check behind.

Dark Play - How Far Can You Take It?

I thought this was an interesting hand.

6-12 at CP.

I am UTG+1 at an ultra loose (and relatively passive) table with A /images/graemlins/club.gif2 /images/graemlins/club.gif. UTG limps, I...

Re: Not sure why this guy\'s head didn\'t explode

Hopefully for his sake he moved to one of the seemingly 400 tables that hit the jackpot over the weekend. I love the 6-12 at CP. I actually saw a limp reraise go something like 14 bets preflop...

Re: Moving to MN, an interim Canterbury Trip report (very long)

Welcome. I don't know if they told you, but you have to wear a 2+2 button at CP in respect of those of us who don't want to donate to your new house fund. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

Re: A Contentious (Interesting?) Live Hand

Good point about the flop call - we haven't gotten into that piece as much. I was anticipating a check, then a bet from me and a raise from the button that would knock the BB out. I think it was...

A Contentious (Interesting?) Live Hand

Two days after a $6-12 session at Canterbury, a friend and I can't stop discussing this hand. He was, and continues to be, baffled and angered by my play.

Table is slightly on the loose side...

Re: Dealer giving hints to players?

I would agree that it is ridiculous. I think you just hit a weird dealer though - I have never seen it happen at Canterbury.

I appreciate the advice. I think I would play this differently next time based on the thinking that has been shared. I guess my hesitation was due to the fact that this really was a loose-passive...

Re: A Cold Calling Machine

Not sure I understand your advice. I think that the mistake is not folding on the flop. How is top pair with an extremely marginal kicker going to play against a bet and a raise? Also, I am not...

A Cold Calling Machine

Actually, I am not, which may be why this hand seemed so odd. I am pretty sure preflop is the least of my issues though.

Table is pretty loose passive, but turning over a lot in the last couple...
