Bonus Whorring Hand...one for the ages

[Thythe]

Yeah you don't have to call to have "played" the hand. All you have to do is be dealt cards.

Would I ever normal play 2/5o...hell no except if I was in the BB and there were no raises.

You were in the small blind and there WAS a raise.

Are you sure the hand counts towards my 2500 if i don't put any money in the pot?

Pokerstars which i mainly play on requires you to be in the hand..money wise.
Is empire different

That's news to me about PokerStars. Did they recently change the rules?

are you kidding or serious? I would've clicked the fold in turn button as soon as those cards were dealt to me. How in the world do you know that the pot was gonna be $100? And if you play 25o with that theory, what cards DON'T you play?

Heh.... I was on a table a couple of weeks ago, and someone piped up, "u should NEVER fold before the flop!" I asked him, "Even if you have 72o?" His reply: "yeah - u wulda had 3 7s!" (referring to the hand that had just completed).

It amazes me that people think that way!

As far as I know, The Gaming Club is the only site retarded enough to have it where you have to put money in the pot to count as a raked haned. Empire DEFINATELY does not do this

[Thythe]

Yeah Empire and PokerStars both do not make you actually put money in the pot. Various Prima skins including The Gaming Club do, but that's pretty much it.

52o wins 6.8% of the time against 8 opponents (there was one fold before his action). That's a little better than a 14:1 dog. The pot's $27 with $3 to call for 9:1 pot odds which isn't close. But, with at least five and up to seven other players seeing the flop (assuming no more raises) his implied odds are pretty huge, at least if they're bad players (calling stations will do nicely).

So, while not for the faint of heart and a high variance play, it's certainly justifiable.

I think someone named Ed Miller might have written a book about this sort of thing...

This is a joke, correct?

If not, I can tell you why your logic is faulty.

Gotta play 2500 hands to get the bonus....empire must love you. Playing that crap is a good way to break even on a $500 bonus or even lose money. Don't ever play that garbage again and post it. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
