What I Learned From Tonight's "Tilt' Episode

[Tuds75]

The next time I play in the backroom of a black strip club, I am not going to check my piece at the door, that way when a "brother" strings bets I can whip out the gun and make everything turn out ok.

THANKS ESPN!

I haven't watched most of it. I did learn from the little that I saw that raising is better than calling on the river when you put your opponent on a bluff.

I learned I need to start playing more hands like
10-6 off
3-4 suites
22
4-6 suited
56

Geez...you forgot K8s.
WTF?? this one is obvious.

[Chaostracize]

You can't forget this!

When you are trying to put your opponent on a you need to say it out loud. Then actually visualize the cards as if they were right side up. The tough part of course is figuring out which one is the 6 of spades and which one is the 6 of clubs.

You forgot to add play 22 in middle postion after an UTG raise of 40 times the big blind (I think the blinds were 50/100).

Writing like this is exactly why I hope this show lasts at least two seasons. God bless the writers of this show. They had to have drafted this script while looking directly into an aquarium.

In the preview show, they said Eric Seidel was brought in to make sure the poker was as realistic as possible. Let's congratulate Eric on a job well done in this episode. (Note sarcasm)

This was absolutely the stupidest thing in show full of very stupid stuff.

Not really. He had a monster hand, just not the nuts. If he thought he could taunt his opponent into reraising all-in as a bluff, or doing it with top pair (at the end of the hand he said he put him on a pair), the raise was worth it.

Reraising with 22 in MP after a 40xBB raise UTG . . . well, that's iffier [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

Did you notice that when The Matador raised it to $4000 pre-flop he said "bet" not "raise"?
