My Journey As A Professional Poker Player (22 Viewers)

[honkydevil]

I like scott - he bet his qq blockers, with a club draw back up. He took a shot. I like the guy who tried to bluff the river with nothing. Both get invites to my house. While I understand flopping a st8 is a tough hand to hold up, come on. This guy hit a clean turn and had 2p back up. How does that guy get a seat on tv??

I couldn’t see he had two clubs, they need 4-color deck lol. I like his play more then. At least in this hand lol.

They were doing a $6 mandatory straddle

That makes a lot more sense for the stack sizes. The $1/2(5) structure in Vegas kinda irritates me but really I benefit from being a little tightwad folding away for only $3 an orbit instead of $7 lol. Is your usual Florida game the same structure?

 

[Goldfish]

In the Maryland area the game of choice has moved from plo to 5 card plo. Much more action. Nobody folds. I do think that plo is a better game though.

We have a 2/5 with a $10 rock and a 1/2 with mandatory $5 button straddle and unlimited restraddles

5 card def great for more action, we don't get it much, even with 6 max games

 

[Goldfish]

this is what can happen in 5 card plo game At maryland live. This is a 1/2 game. This guy Bought in for 200 and went straight to 11k. Haha.

 

[Goldfish]

U can always step up to the 5/5 game at the mgm. with the right line up u can go far.....

then u can step up to, my favorite, the Invite only 25/25 mix game (plo and big o) at md live - however those pics r not suitable for children under 18 years old.

I've played 5/10 with a 25 rock, but nothing higher. I'm going to need a bigger bankroll, or a wealthy sponcer like Nooker who came in 1,344 of 2,789 entrants!

Saoliver would love to see the return of Nooker.

Somewhere in the 4k range, give or take

[RichMahogany]

Rich Mahogany came to ask how many of you bum puppets have the results that Nooker has?

Oh, nice. The biggest I play is 25/25/50 (plo/big o mix) - when that game runs at md live. Typically I play 5/5/25 big o, Plo or 5 card plo. Plenty of those games around with good action in and out of the casino. I also love the limit mixed games - badugi, etc.

 

[Bmeister51]

yeah we have a 50-100 mix that runs on wednesdays but we spread 10-20/20-40 five days a week and it plays pretty big... evey now and again we get 25-50 no or 50-100 no going and it gets wild. Probably anywhere from 180-250k on the table most nights lol

The fact that you still remember Nooker's finishing position and # of entrants is a mental task unworthy of mortal men.

I just made that shit up, but if it's spot-on that would be something

For me the line up is more important that the stakes. I typically only go to the casino for a semi private game where I know all the players in the initial line up and know that the line up is good. We do this a lot. If I show up randomly To the casino I will only play lo stakes with all the nits and pros. Otherwise I tend to stick to the home games.

That’s all well and good but if there’s a quarter of $1 million on the table I don’t care who’s sitting I’m going to play LOL

Haha. Agreed.

 

[Anthony Martino]

Today was no bueno at the tables. Upset with myself for getting overly sticky in a couple of spots where the board texture changed, after I had flopped the nuts in one hand, and turned the nuts in another

Both times my opponents made their draws and both times I played the payoff artist

-2k on the day, but still had my 2nd best month ever and will tighten my shit up for next session and not make those payoffs

Damn! Not even playing poker, and you got me with that bluff - you are a god sir!

 

[Anthony Martino]

Hard Rock Tampa just updated their tables recently from 6-max with plexiglass to 7-max. I'm definitely looking forward to that change.

Also have a very entertaining getup planned for this Saturdays 4th of July at the casino, I'll make sure to get pics!
