Poker

i'm iwannarock1 on partypoker.

are there any online poker programs where you can make your own table?

because i dont think u can in party poker.

c'mon an online holdem tournament between HTGTH people could be fun.

don't make me resort to insults to get you to play.............


i mean.............what are you......................yella?

actually you can on Partypoker, unless they changed it recently.  I haven't been on the site in a month or so.

[Vicious Wishes]

ah somebody got the BTTF reference.

and Kiss my Axl we'd have to do it so everyone starts off with equal play money, and then just play elimination til there's only one left.

Of course, I was just joking because play money is the only money that I do have tons of.

I play Texas Holdem'

During the weekends, I play in either a single or dual table sit-n-go tournament with sme friends.  We usually do 2-3 tourneys a night with the buyin ranging from $30 US - $100 US depending on how gutsy everyone's feeling.

I'm a very aggressive player - I prefer to get muscle early and use it.  I've also been taken out rather early many times by playing that way.  However, I'd say I place 'in the money' 75% of the time or so.  I'm not an easy person to play against, as I tend to be erratic (or at least make them think that I am) - and I tend to get real psychological, real quick.  Oh, and I wear my goofy poker hat and my sunglasses - because, well, why not.

Also - never drink while playing poker.. sure, encourage them to drink all they want.  In fact, even buy a round for em.. but seriously, keep your wits about you.  Oh, and chew gum / blow bubbles.. it really distracts your opponents :-D

i use my evil stare to put off my opponents 

[Evolution]

Well it's game number 4 in the league me and my poker pals have. My third though. Im currently pretty low down but hopefully with some luck and skill i have picked up from Negreanu i can do good. Ill post after the game 

[MadmanDan]

a HTGTH members Poker tournament would be fun...I've never played online, so someone else should set it up

[Evolution]

Hell yeah, i'd be up for that if it could happen.



Well i played conservitivly and got fucked. 7th out of 8. Jesus 

[Dr. Blutarsky]

dealers choice is the way we play. makes it more interesting than playing hold 'em every hand. we throw that in here & there though. A HTGTH poker tourney sounds great, Ill play as well if someone smart can figure out how to do it.

[Evolution]

10 of us could syncronise logging into holdempoker.com and quickly sign up for a free tournament? But thats never gonna happen

[Oddy]

playing conservative you never win, you only stay in for long.

i use the old "i'm either gonna be knocked out first or win the damn thing" approach. go all out big risks etc.

alright i'll download holdem poker. then we'll somehow organise this. first we gotta figure out what time is suitable for everyone since we all live in different places.

so holdempoker.com is the definite choice? can someone just make a room and we all join it? if so everyone download holdem poker. although the chances of us getting this underway is equal to the chance that chinese democracy will ever be released.

[Evolution]

You can just register for that site. Thing is the free rooms that we could use are shared between thousands of online player at the same time. So the chances of us all getting in at the same time are slim to none 

[Oddy]

hmmmmm thats the same deal for partypoker too. theres thousands of players on there so it'd be hard to get us all on a table.

im thinking maybe yahoo...........im gonna do some research to find a good poker place so we can really do this.

edit: why does it say drama qween under my name? did i do that while wasted or something?

[Mal Brossard]

Yahoo is the easiest to get a private table, but it's only limit hold 'em.  While limit is my best "mainstream" game (I can't call A-5 Triple Draw a mainstream game just yet), I'd rather play some NLH with all the people here.

I just had to post this hand. I got fucked over badly last night.


On the board is A, 5, 10, Q. I have around 35% of the chips and it's just me and someone with around 60% of the chips.


I picked up A,10 so i moved all-in. The guy thought about it for a while(decent pot on the go already) and after much doddling he called me. He would have around 40 chips left if he lost. I had put 154 in as all in.

He turned over Q,5. My 2 pair beating his. All i needed to avoid was a Queen or a five....
















The five came...

Ouch!  I know the feeling, believe me...fortunately, I've been on both sides

I know this is off topic but I have to say soemthing.. I think it sucks how huge and mainstream poker is becoming.. Everyone and their mother thinks it's cool to gamble especially kids. I kind of liked it when espn wasn't broadcasting the damn thing every secodn and when every show wasn't posting websites to gamble.. Call me old fashion but to me it was better when you just learned from your dad or friends when you got older.. it's definetly a recipe for trouble with how accessable it is and talked about constantly.. Also how athletes and celebrities make it seem really cool.

I totally hear ya.  I liked it a lot better when it was more of a cult thing.  I have been playing since I was 18 at Indian Casinos.  You would think that players like myself would love the fact that everyone thinks they know how to play poker well and basically throw away their money.  I actually find it quite annoying.  If you talk to anyone they will basically say they play poker.  I hate half of the kids that go into the poker room in vegas etc.  Many of them don't have the etiquette.

[Evolution]

Im one of the bastard kids who got into poker because of these shows but i would consider myself to have ettiquette when playing. I don't pretend to be an expert 

At least the kids are losing their money on cards rather than drugs i guess.

[Locomotive]

I play texas hold em' as often as I can...

[Evolution]

Guys, fucking listen to this. Ever played someone who doesn't know the hands? But somehow gets so fucking lucky?

Well a friend of called an all-in bet with 4 5 offsuit. The guy who went all in had pocket 9's


The lucky bastard caught a fucking flush.


Then this week he put out 6 players out of 7. I had a flush after the turn and he had 3 10's. The board paired on the river
