Just picked up a copy of Professional No-Limit Hold 'Em after a bunch of recommendations from 2p2'ers telling me it was the quintessential cash game book.

I have to say, this book has a lot more depth and presents some cool new concepts that i've not seen in any other books...definitely recommend it...

FTP CASH PICKUP !!!

gg ftp. hopefully they don't fuck this one up too like they have done with the other methods.

7/17/2008 7:34:30 PM

It's been almost 20 days and still no Bodog check

7/17/2008 7:46:11 PM

Sounds legit too^^

From looking around it's basically a 2hr process...request the cashout...get a reference number....go to wal mart...collect the cash money...

7/17/2008 8:35:57 PM

I run good so far this month.

40 days. Hahah that is pretty lame

I'm gonna try the cash pickup from full tilt next week...hopefully its a bit more painless than that

7/18/2008 6:38:49 PM

I can't even see the cards anymore for those stupid advertisements on stars...

7/18/2008 6:57:51 PM

So I'm a little bored with playing 1 or 2 tables at a time of 25NL and only grinding out $50-$100 per week, and am wondering what I should be doing differently. My BR is about $200 after a bunch of small cashouts, so apparently I should really only be playing 10NL as of now, but it seems too sporadic at such low limits. Are there any "must have" programs (such as PT3) that I should go ahead and get? What are the most profitable SNGs and ways to play ring games (should I be MTing low limits?)? Seems like most people that try to make a decent amount of money playing online MT 6+ tables at once and play pretty much like a bot. I'm playing at a fairly high level now, just need some advice on how to maximize profit playing online.

7/18/2008 6:59:02 PM

this is a pretty good book if you are looking to play sit and go's.

7/18/2008 7:33:28 PM

With 200 ur in a perfect spot to play stars 4/180s

Most solid TAGs can run around 130% ROI in those

But yeh PT3 is also a must have...its only 89.99 and worth ever single penny

7/18/2008 7:42:21 PM

Anyone play Omaha, Stud or Razz? Got any literature or info on them? I feel like it might be easier to play these because it's not as popular.

7/18/2008 10:11:33 PM

I know the theory of poker touches on stud...but generally I consult two plus two forums for all the games you mentioned

There are monthly study groups for omaha and stud that provide invaluable insights that prolly kick most books ass anywho

No doubt both the limp and his reraise were bad calls on my part, I can try to justify both with the odds I had laying me. I was also getting cold decked pretty bad and wanted to mix it up a bit, but I was hoping both those plays would be overlooked for the miracles

Probably put out a smaller bet after the flop since he re-raised you before the flop.

7/19/2008 6:03:58 PM

Well with the blinds creeping up, I felt like after I called the reraise I pretty much pot committed myself. Only reason I didn't push after his reraise PF was because I figured he'd call with just about anything, so I might as well try to get a look at the flop and possibly get off it.

7/19/2008 6:29:31 PM

That's a tough one. Just have to hope he has QQ or KK.

7/19/2008 7:02:32 PM

so if you put him on aces up why'd you shove all in?

7/19/2008 7:50:11 PM

Yeah, it works out much better when you don't go all in vs top set.

7/19/2008 8:19:54 PM

With that stacking and blind level nearly 90% of the time I'm putting it all in pre even to the donk ass 3 bet he put out there

Post flop play is so limited in these situations and with the payout of the 4 dollars this is the exact point where u would love to double or be done and load up another.

7/19/2008 9:25:59 PM

maybe you were committed, but check flop imo and at least give him a chance to bet at you/pay you off on turn with worse hand. i mean what exactly are you hoping to be called with that you beat? what exactly are you hoping to fold that beats you?

i'm not blaming you for going all the way here, but maybe try to do it in a way that increases the hands you actually beat in an all in showdown.

Did you get dealt JJ 3 times in 5 minutes?

7/20/2008 1:52:23 PM

Yep.

Night 1 Borgata I'm up ~130 at some point and leave the table at the end of the night with 16 bucks

Day 2 Tropicana I flop AJ top two vs QQ and take down a sizable pot, then later on I flop trips and call an all in where the guy has top pair queen kick.

I leave up 300 (bought in for 200) for the trip.

Last night at the Borgata I buy in for 200 and don't play many hands, call a couple raises and i'm down to ~175 when I look down in BB at KK. One call early position, middle makes it like 12 to go. I mean to bet more but it only comes out as like double raise, 25 to go or some such. Dude pushes all in and has me covered. I instacall and the flop is all baby cards. turn comes and I say "you have the aces?" which he must have thought I asked "you have the 8s?" because he's says he has it. River is an Ace and I muck the kings to his turned set :/

being up 60 bucks never felt so bad.

Haha. Didn't realize hand history captures the chat. I don't think it does that on FT. Yeah it is good. They are owned by the PF Chang people.
