The Official Poker Thread

[Acreboy]

I have yet to find a place to discuss poker with anyone.

Hopefully we can discuss it here.

Here we can talk about the WSOP, WPT, PPT, and any other poker tourney's.

Share secrets, bad beats you got, bad beats you gave, home games, strategy's, etc.

Lets get this thing going.

Poker? I just met her.

I was passing by the neighborhood Hot Topic the other day, not sure if you midwesterners have experienced the wonder of Hot Topic, but if you're a 14 year old kid looking to perfect the goth/emo look on a weeks allowance, it's the place to be. But in any event they had a hilarious shirt that read "Liquor in the front, poker in the rear". I think I know what to get you for Christmas.

I am going to AC tomorrow to play in the WSOP Circuit Event, plus some cash game play at Showboat and Trop. Staying at the Trump Marina. I am very much looking forward to this...

I am trying to satellite my way into the $1000 + $80 event, which starts Friday at noon. They have round the clock SNG's and satellites to get into all of the smaller events, plus the main event.

I'm playing in a tournament on Friday that had about 60 something guys in last time. It was the first time they ran it so I'm gonna guess more will come now and it will be in the 80's. It's a 100 dollar buy in but only 75 goes to the pot. The rest goes to all the booze and catered food you can eat and drink. Last time I got 4th and walked out with a little under 500.

Do you drink when you play?

[bigmac076]

Tournnaments are make or break. When I go to Foxwoods I prefer the regular sit-in games, so if youre up alot you can cash in at anytime.

Yeah, not too much though. I know I really shouldn't. But I drink pretty much when I do everything.

Plus if the cards are running dry. Depending on the limit your playing you will only lose if your playing 1-2 no limit 3 bucks everytime around. But if your looking to make alot of money in a 7 hour time spand then the tournament is the way to go. But you have to get lucky to win a big tournament because if your not getting the cards your done. Sometimes it doesnt even matter how good you are because the blind levels increase so quickly. All depends on what kind of tournament your joining I guess.

If they're feeding you and giving drinks, I guess that's acceptable. I still think it's a pretty heavy rake, though. I prefer the rake to be less than 20%. The more money in the prize pool, the better.

Yea I try not to either but when im at tournaments like the one you are talking about im the same way. Its impossible not to drink when everyone else is. Its impossible not to drink when noone else is.
