Jim,
In the World Series of Suck Outs is the guy who 5%'d you out, do you know his name? I've been watching some of the shows and wonder if he is still there. If already posted, sorry but i aint scrollin.
Have you seen Evelyn again in person?
Manny i still want to take your course because i think poker is mostly cheats and suck outs.
Manny offers a course?
He must make a lot of money off of poker to teach someone how to play huh?
Manny offers a course in online poker.
I offer a course in how to get Evelyn.
I wish I knew how to play poker
anybody know where to get some sharp looking poker/roulette tables here in town?
I used to know a dude who made custom tables that were soooooooooooooo slick but I'm not sure where I put his contact info. I'll try to find it.
For career dress up day at work this week, I wore my Pokerstars jersey and cap. I'm such a poser, lol...
yeah dude let me know...I have found a couple guys with decent prices but they dont have any pictures so Im still looking into it....let me know what you find man
thanks

Glad someone dug up this old thread.
I played in the June 20th 1500 buyin WSOP tourney again.
This was my 3rd straight year I was ready for another deep run this year and was primed to get into the money.
This year was even better because we started with 4500 chips instead of 3000.
I was in seat 3, the table had a mixture of older players and young internet types, so it was well balanced.
Started at 12:00 pm on Saturday.
At 12:15, I am in middle position when the player under the gun min raises to 100(blinds are 25-50) This move always makes me su ious.
the next player folds, I look down at my cards and low and behold, pocket kings.
Well, I raise to 400.......it folds around to the original min raiser, he just calls( I was expecting a reraise) The Flop: 3c 8h Q h, this flop looks great for me, except the two hearts. The guy checks, I bet 900, a large bet, but I wanted to discourage a flush draw from calling, and would be happy to just take down the pot right now.
He moves all in for all of his 4500 chips.
WTF???
Did he slow play aces? Is he on a flush draw with AK? Did he flop a set?
All these questions go into my thought process.
I do not want to call and be the first donkey walking out of this tourney after 15 mins. I looked forward to this for a whole year.
I go into the tank for a full min, the I actually call clock on myself. When it gets down to 20 secs, I do the pussified move and fold.
The guy, a middle aged man in a Harley teeshirt shows JJ.
I should have doubled up against this moron, but now I have pissed away almost a 1/3 of my starting stack with the winning hand....I am on major TILT..
Any other tourney, I call, any cash game, I call, but since it was this tourney, I over think the situation, thinking that any player would not risk his whole stack this early in this big tourney on a draw or on an under pair.
I am now short stack at table and can not really try to outplay anyone now, so I have to try to get a big hand now, it never comes, and I last about 3 more hours before losing my last 1200 when I flop a set of 5s, and the big stack catches a wheel on the turn to knock me out.
What a donkey I am.
BTW, my buddy who went with me this year, made it to day 2 and was 60 places out of the money. He survived and cashed $2850, finishing 245 out of 2600....nice. Last year was his first year and he only lasted 2 hours. I expected to do better than him.
Got to call that, but sounds like you're playing good poker overall. What is the atmosphere at WSOP like?Glad someone dug up this old thread.

Not saying your lay down was not correct (meaning that a lot of good players would have done just as you did).
I am saying that i have concluded that moves such as Harley Tee Guy did exist at ALL levels. It is no longer just the lower levels that regularly play "No Fold Em Hold Em".
Just pretend a Jack was going to hit on the turn, or river.Glad someone dug up this old thread.

Your thought process was good, but you gotta go all in after the flop. I know he wasn't pot committed at that point but you allowed him to smell weakness by just betting the pot.
He checked after the flop and he wouldn't have slow-played rockets. Particularly, if there were 2 hearts on the board. Your aggression would've told him that you had top pair or a straight/flush draw and the pressure would've been on him to make the call. With an all in, his thoughts would've been like yours, "Do I want to criple myself this early in the tourney?"
In tournament play, you slow-play kings. Unless you want to go home early.
Yes of course. I was at wsop this year too and I can't tell you how many players went all in on pocket kings pre-flop. Toughest hand to lay down, too.
All in is a horrible move, the only thing he's going to call you with has you beat.
Nothing wrong with getting all in preflop with kings.
Of course not. If you're at a cash game at Billy's house.
No, even if you're in a tourney. If you're folding KK preflop your losing money.
On what? Up against AK? You're willing to get all your chips in on the hope one of the other 9 guys don't catch an ace?
If its cheap, yes, you ride it. Otherwise, live to fight another day.
Well, Their are situations where you fold it, but thats only maybe 1% of the time. 9 people aren't calling all in preflop
