It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must stop it.

Originally posted by baldgriff View PostActually, I would say that it is likely that most every pot can be won, if you bet accordingly. I havent watched much poker lately, but Tom Dwan seems to play the game at the highest level with this philosophy. When Ive watched him he appears to be very good at selecting bet sizes that represent certain stories - often getting players to lay down moderately reasonable hands. Yes he loses a big pot here or there, but in most instances he is in charge of the action. (admittedly - he is almost a maniac, but he seem to understang bet sizes and what opponents are willing to call/bet in a hand).I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...

Whenever I'm watching poker on TV, invariably the announcer says at some point "He knows he can't win the pot here if he checks" or something of the sort. It makes me feel like every pot is winnable if I just make the right bet, but that's insane. It's right to just let pots go, right?
This is pure brilliance. Durr can only make this play against thoughtful players, who have big stacks of chips in front of them ... he could never make this play against a bad player. He knew Greenstein had a big pair and couldn't continue. Eastgate is sitting with 500K (real money) in front of him ... Durr is basically saying to him ... you wanna play for all that or get out now?
Then this ... another brilliant contrasting play from Phil Galfond ... lays down a FH because he knows he cannot possibly be ahead. He only lost one small bet after the flop amazingly. Eli's face at the end

I cant see these at work - but will be looking at these when I get home. I do remember watching a guy lay down his A's full house to quad Kings and everyone was shocked to see it. This was at a WSOP on television - not live. It was an amazing laydown though.It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must stop it.

Just picked up another small pot, and I am up to $69,000. That's up $20,000 in the last couple of days."Looks like I picked a bad day to give up sniffing glue.

i have epiphanies like that all the time. for example i was watching a basketball game today and realized pom poms are like a pair of tits. there's 2 of them. they're round. they shake. women play with them. thus instead of having two, cheerleaders have four boobs.

LOL - the blinds go up and I get 10/3 off...... slowly bleeding here. With blinds at 1k/2k and $300 ante, this 20k stack is slowly dying.It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must stop it.

Full redraw is on now. My table just ended today and is waiting for the rest of the tourney.Bob- I'm not exactly sure it would ROCK as you say it Byron.. it may be cool, by typical text book descriptions. Your opinion of this is shallow and poorly constructed, but allow me to re-craft your initial thought into something tangable.

There are 5 guys in this pot, so there could be some drawing here.It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must stop it.
