Is that right poker billy? (I don't know what that means).

This is setting up for a CF poker show down. $1,000 buy-in, winner takes all.

1-2 as in dollar two dollar blinds?

That's the one. Sat down three times over the weekend, bought in for $200 each time. Never stood with less than $445. I must give off an air of utter incompetence because people just couldn't wait to put money into my pots.

It was your boyish good looks. Who wouldn't want to take advantage of a boyish looking, skinny white girl?

that game wouldnt work because someone would have to lose and no one on cf ever loses when they gamble

i've lost disgusting amounts of money my last few trips to vegas. its just not fun to talk about.

[rjs246]

Exactly. Who goes online to talk about money they lose playing cards? Give me a break.

[ice grillin you]

people talking about gambling winnings online is like talking about a fantasy league you won that no one else is in.....or how your kid is the best player on his little league team

its kinda futile cause no one believes the person and no one cares

IGY is the only one that still thinks people come to this thread to lie about winning some money playing poker.

Was watching the recent WSOP Main Event from Vegas where Phil Ivey has pocket 3's, raises, is called by AQo, then called by some dude, forget his name with pocket 10's.

Flop comes A, 10, 3.

I believe Ivey raises, AQ re-raises, pocket 10's calls, Ivey pushes all-in, AQ folds, pocket 10's calls and has Ivey covered. Trash on the turn, trash on the river and Ivey bows out.

It just reinforces my feeling that usually nothing good comes from shoving all-in. Even when you think you have the nuts. More bad things than good have happened to me in my all-ins.

It's really hard for me not to go all in when I've got 3 of a kind.  Though I'd likely be scared shteinless to go all in with three 3s when I see an Ace and a 10 sitting out there.  At that point I've got to assume my opponent has his own pair (either A or 10) and both of them beat my 3s.  Guess it's just a matter of whether or not you think the guy is bluffing at that point.  Since the guy went all in after the flop, I'd have probably folded.   

I'm not an avid poker player though, so there's probably some major flaws with my logic and probably explains why I hardly ever win any money on the rare occasion that I do play.

You shouldn't be scared if someone made a pair of aces or two pairs. You actually want that when holding pocket pair and you flopped a set. The problem when you hold low set is that the middle set is what is usually going to kill you. Now, the percentages of that happening are small, but high enough where you have to proceed with caution.

[Munson]

Yeah flopping low set is always nerve wracking...but I'd rather push all in there and try to take the pot down than let someone stick around and suck out to a higher set on the turn or river.

The flip side of flopping low set is people almost never see it coming, and you can usually get large chunks of money off of people

A pot-sized bet should be enough to see who has what. If someone calls, then remember pot control, so you don't all-in yourself out.
