Anything poker related post here.

Conversation starter:
Phil Hellmuth won his record extending 13th WSOP event bracelet this week:

He gets a lot of shit from people about his game despite this. How can a guy be the most successful tournament player in history but yet either not have the best game or have most of the fellow pros around him criticize his play?

Re: Poker Talk

I made over 10 grand playing poker and paid my tuition with the money.

Sadly I haven't played since the black friday incident. Miss it. I was a big fan of rush poker, actually. That's where I made most of my money. Must have played half a million hands or so.

Played in the Employee only poker tournament today at the casino. I got 4th out of 62. I lost with AK suited vs. KK. It was rough.....

this. pretty sure my main on stars is up 16k with a 43% roi and 95 ability rating. ive never seen another main account with a better roi.. guess i ran good xD

Re: Poker Talk

Nice. Thanks for the info. Didn't know they had 'zoom'. Rush was mostly the reason I played on tilt instead of stars anyway.

And yeah, I only play cash games. I don't like tournaments. Which is funny, because my records have been very good in tourneys, but cash games are more fun. Plus I like to be able to win or lose money in single hands.


Will dump some of my LOC onto an account and start making some $ when I get free time.

Will have to set up my HUD again and start practicing again though. Probably rusty as ****.

Re: Poker Talk

well as far as stars is concerned any stakes you play under 5/10 should be really soft.

Really? Has the play gone downhill since black friday?

I used to play 0.5/1 which wasn't too bad, but 1/2 and 2/4 rush were ridiculous. Almost everyone on there for any amount of time was 4 tabling with a HUD and a lot of guys had a lot of data on me. The reads. Was really hard to make money, so I mostly just stuck to 0.5/1.

eh idk whenever i made a new account and put some money in on it i found it easy to crush the game and scale up to 5/10 before i started having trouble
