There is a ridiculous comment to the effect of "Many times on the flop you'll have a coin flip, and both players would put in all their money even if the cards were turned face up." That is totally bogus. As Ciaffone/Reuben point out, you can often shade the odds in your favor if the money is deep enough and you manipulate the pot correctly. <br /><br />People often wonder who the target is in the big Bellagio game and I suspect it is Berman. I am sure he is a competent player, but he seems to lack some understanding of fundamentals. Of course, he is worth hundreds of millions, so what do I know. <br /><br />BTW, I have confirmed that the 1/2 and 2/4 PLO games on UltimateBet are very good, although they seem to go sporadically and are often shorthanded. I seem to be having much more success there than on Stars.<br /><br />RoswellAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309892.post-1107731361307197872005-02-06T23:09:00.000+00:002005-02-06T23:09:00.000+00:00Aksu,

In some cases I have had monsters, in others I have been very lucky. I'm not a big fan of just posting hands for self-aggrandizement as it doesnt do much for me or you either, although it can be mildly entertaining :)<br /><br />Thanks all for the nice comments!<br /><br />ddBig Dave Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08582161855630413360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309892.post-1107708617882685602005-02-06T16:50:00.000+00:002005-02-06T16:50:00.000+00:00Ben,

I'm shooting for 4-5 hours a day but it hard.<br /><br />gl<br /><br />ddBig Dave Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08582161855630413360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309892.post-1107708477252795152005-02-06T16:47:00.000+00:002005-02-06T16:47:00.000+00:00Red,

I threw away a grand last month at limit holdem which I will write up soon. But so far Im staying disciplined and not stepping up to 5-10...long live the rush!<br /><br />gl<br /><br />ddBig Dave Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08582161855630413360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309892.post-1107708345797712932005-02-06T16:45:00.000+00:002005-02-06T16:45:00.000+00:00Glad I read the other comments first....was thinki...Glad I read the other comments first....was thinking the same thing!

I have the Reuben and Ciaffone book's which are good (epsecially the Pot Limit and No Limit Poker book) but not comprehensive. (I know, comprehensive is asking a lot). Reuben's How Good is My Pot Limit Omaha contains an entertaining stream of analysis and non sequitor, but is often incoherent. I am not a good enough Pot Linit Omaha player to evaluate the quality of his advice, but I know he needs a better editor. <br /><br />I thought the section by Daniel N. on Triple draw in SS2 was interesting and worthwhile (but where would I find someone to play this game with?). The rest of the book contained an occasional nugget or two, but you have to sort through a lot of ordinary rocks to find them.Sultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506141014376919585noreply@blogger.com
