Hi, I strongly reccomend the poker novel “The Only Way To Play It” from Peter Alson.

The author was one of the co-authors of “One of a Kind”, the great bio of Stu Ungar. And also wrote “Take Me To The River” from his personal experience in the WSOP 2005.

His first poker novel is very real and entertaining. We can read about the underground poker clubs of New York that reminds me to the movie “Rounders”. It’s also about parenthood and how to deal with a conflictive father.

Only $9 on Amazon. One of the best poker books from 2020 and one of the best poker novels I read with “Shut Up and Deal” and “King of a Small World”.

There are tournaments where the prize is very low, the time of each player’s turn also implies in the execution time of the tournament, would it be convenient or not that the time of each player’s turn is reduced in tournaments with low prizes?

How did you guys get into playing online Poker?

I got into it by watching some famous Poker players stream on twitch. 😎

I don’t get a big stack advantage very often, so I wasn’t sure how to play this spot. I would appreciate any advice on how to play this hand.It’s about halfway through a 5 hour late registration $0.11 Freezeout.

I am in the BB with A10o and a healthy 180 BB sitting about 3/80 with about 2.5 hours of late registration remaining.

UTG with 13 BB limps into the pot.

It folds down to CO who shoves 21 BB.

For those who have (or have) problems with the handling of the bank, who woke up with the idea that today I will not play more than 2 tables, or today I will not play something outside my limit or if I lose up to $ 10 % of my bank I retire and at the end of the day we did the opposite. I have heard about the book “mind control” (I have not read it because I am not fluent in English), I also think that the Golden child created an app that pursues mind control. Now is it possible that through ignosis (I don’t believe much in this) or some kind of audio meditation, these goals can be achieved?

??

The pocket pair you hate to see when there is alot of action before you?

God bless America, how do you play this turn/river? :hmmmm2:

CO: 506.16 BB

BTN: 88.96 BB

SB: 100.4 BB

So I just installed the new update for PokerStars and during play of a grand tour right at the end when I go all in I get this warning message, yet nothing appeared to disconnect and game flow was not disrupted.

Strange. Any Ideas what this is?

Has anyone been actually disconnected or unable to act after seeing this message?

Hi all, new to this forum and fairly new to poker, been playing low stakes and some low buy in tournament poker for a year or so now and want to take my game to the next level.

I’ve been looking a a few of these poker pros online coaching courses and was wondering if anyone has used them and found the beneficial? Also what one people would recommend and if they are worth money?

Look forward to hearing from you 🙂

Yesterday I went through the first day of a two-day tournament. After finishing day one, my stack is 500k (average 730k). There are a lot of places in this tournament paid (480 out of 540 players and no more will come).

My question is how do you think i should start playing in my situation? Wait until I’m in itm and then aggressively or start harder right away?

Yesterday I got an update from PokerStars, and now I can no longer get the old light classic display by deleting the insides of the ImgCache folder.

Now the contents of the ImgCache folder get regenerated each time you launch the client, and even if you delete them after the client is launched, they regenerate when you try to open a table.

They patched it quickly.

I cannot emphasize how much I hate the new Aurora engine, and especially their decision do completely disable the classic display despite it will cost them little to nothing.

Just wondering why it still says 1 day for the million dollar race to end ? Yesterday at around 11 am it said 1 day remaining and today at almost 10 am it still says 1 day.. I got lucky and withdrew $260 and still had a bit of money on there as well as a $25 poker card so I used all that trying to rank up a bit.. I think I did not do it properly because my points never added.. anyways it says as of now I’m gtd $70 but just wondering how all this works and what the actual pay out is because I cant see it.. thank you !

ACR flagged my debit card for no reason and now I cant deposit any funds. I have used my debit card a number of times with no problem and now they flagged it and wont even tell me why. They said I could use Bitcoin or player to player transfer. None of my friends play so i cant really play any more. Is anyone willing to transfer me like 20$ player to player and ill give you like 30$ through PayPal.

Hello everyone, how would you play this hand? It had 90 bb of stack, so the final decisions do not influence much in terms of cash.

We have no villain readings.

Daniel Negreanu and Doug Polk are still in the early phase of their heads-up poker grudge match. But we’ve learned a few things about each player, their styles of play, and what to expect from them going forward.

Through four sessions — 1,372 hands, Polk holds a $180,865 profit, but lost over $80,000 on Wednesday. Thus far, the match is going exactly how many projected. Negreanu, a live tournament specialist, is a heavy underdog against his opponent, who is considered one of the top heads-up no-limit hold’em players ever.

So, few poker players are surprised to see the Upswing Poker founder out in front early on by 6.5 buy-ins. But the match is still in its infancy stages. They’ve agreed to play at least 12,500 hands of $200/$400 NLH on WSOP.com. At this point, they’re only 11% to completion, although the losing player at 12,500 hands can require they play a full 25,000-hand match.

Daniel Negreanu finally won some big pots and was on his way to scoring a huge profit on Day 4 of his challenge against Doug Polk. But a brutal bad beat on the final hand of the day put a damper on the GGPoker ambassador’s impressive session.

Polk entered Wednesday’s session with more than a $260,000 profit in three days — just over 1,000 hands. They’ve agreed to play at least 12,500 hands of $200/$400 stakes on WSOP.com. So, a big lead this early in the match doesn’t guarantee victory by any stretch of the imagination.

But it was crucial for Negreanu to get on the winning track before it’s too late, and before he’s down the cost of a mansion in Beverly Hills. He stopped the bleeding on Day 4 before taking a severe kick to the stones on the last hand.

Daniel Negreanu got off to a strong start against Doug Polk during the first and only live poker session they’ll play in their heads-up challenge. But the Upswing Poker founder bounced back nicely with a dominating performance in the first online session.

The long-time feuding poker pros will play as many as 25,000 hands of $200/$400 No-Limit Hold’em. They’re playing all but the first 200 hands on the WSOP.com poker site in Nevada.

On Friday, they began the online portion of the challenge, and played for almost exactly two hours. Playing two tables at a time, the poker pros completed 424 hands during the session for a total of 624 hands overall. Negreanu opened the match with a $116,500 victory Wednesday at the PokerGo Studio in Las Vegas.
