A thread to talk about poker

[phattymatty]

so i found out that this bar about 10 miles from my house does three no limit games on sundays, and the winner of each one gets a trip for 2 to either vegas, cancun, or orlando.  me and my girl went yesterday, probably 12-15 tables of eight people started, and we both made the final table.  neither won though.

since we were there so long, we stayed around for the second game, i got beat out pretty early because i hated my table, and my chick ended up winning it. 

free trip to vegas yo.

There's a lesson to be learned from this story.

Borrow lots of money from your family and spend it on entry fees to poker tournaments? I think that's a lesson everyone can benefit from. Especially my parents.

I"m playing in a tourny tomorrow night. 50 dollar buy in, 25 dollar re-buy/add-on...Usually around 50 players, 4-5 tables, every othehr Wednesday.

I got 4th two weeks ago, took home 310 dollars (215 after buy in, add on, and 20 tip to dealer). I should have placed a lot higher, I was 2nd or 3rd in chips at the final table, some guy went all in with Ace-8 off suit, I called with Ace-Queen, and of course he hit the 8...Crippled me, I fought back a little but ended up in 4th on another bogus hand.

Just like Phil Hellmuth, you are always the best player at the table, but never actually win, huh?

Suuuuuuure.

You should have tried to pair up the Queen or Ace. Then you would have won.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

The Ace wouldn't have helped after the other guy hit his 8.  Duuuuuuuuuuh.

where's this tourney at?

[Munson]

Not sure of the exact location because my friend alwasy does the driving because it's a tourny that he and his dad are regulars at, I just started going about 2 months ago. I do know it's off the Macdade Boulevard exit on 95....that's usually when I stop paying attention.

if he was short stacked, then you should have known he's push all in on an ace high. since you didnt have a pair there...you should have folded as it is a coin flip at that point
