Whats on my mind 3

So, the last chapter of whats on my mind would like to talk about something I saw on TV tonight.
 
I was watching poker after dark and I ran into a situation where Jamie Gold (Donk) was up against Chan.  He had KQ suited and Chan had wired 10's.  Jamie professed that his pot odds were 2 to 1 and that would make him the favorite in the hand if it was a coin toss. 
 
What poker players don't realize is that pot odds don't dictate a good or bad call.  So many novice player over think this situation and will make the call because of one variable.  But, yet you must take in consideration if you are the caller or the raiser, and if you are in the money or not.  Is it a short tournament, a long one...a cash game for all the money?
 
PEOPLE...poker is not just about the numbers, it is about timing and the ability to read a situation without using number as the number one variable. 
 
I understand that numbers are a crucial part of of the game, but not the most important part. 
 
Don't forget what you are playing for and that sometimes the stats are not as important as going in with the best hand.
 
 
Be smart...play well....win money!
 
Peace!!!!

Whats on my mind 2

I am one of the original users of this site.  I have been lucky enough to use this as a wonderful tool to improve my game and get insight on the game of poker.  I have been in the business for over 13 years and still find new things that make my game better.
 
I am really disappointed at some of the posts as of late.  Do you really want to remember the bad beat stories that made you less money, or do you want to remember how you can improve your game.  I was really disgusted what I read a recent post that made really good money, but his whole post was about the beats he took.
 
I know I have been a culprit with this and have vented from time to time.  But, this is a tool to make you a better player and to better understand the game.  This is not a site to tell your so-called bad beat stories so people will feel sorry for you. 
 
Let's start talking about good strategy and focus on what can make us better.  Everyone has taken so many beats over the course of there poker life, and all the stories are the same.  Let's make this site a learning experience, rather than a "let's talk about our bad beats" site!
 
Peace and love,

Whats on my mind 1

This is a three part series of poker stuff that has been on my mind lately.  The first part is the lighter side of poker.  I recently came across one of the funniest things I have seen a a poker dealer/player in a long time.  I will share with you all, and I hope that this thread will continue with good, funny stories....NO BAD BEATS ALLOWED!
 
Any off the wall story about something you have seen at the poker table is welcome. 
 
The lighter side of poker....for all to enjoy!!!!

March 17, 2008, 7PM: Played 2 hours, Made $5.00 at Big Daddy's
$20 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (5th out of 27 Players)

I started out playing very tight. I caught pocket queens and trapped a guy with a little flop when he mae top pair and turn a flush draw.  That pretty much skated me to the final table, stealing small pots every now and then, and really not getting any big hands.
 
Final table chip count I was about 7th or 8th.  I grinded my way down to the bubble where it got a little tense a few times, but managed to squeeze with a little double up from Hammerman.  He endd up on fire and made a good call with 6 players left that catupulted him into taking down the tournament.  Blinds snuck up and I could not catch a hand late.
 
Overall I play probably B poker.  Made a couple of small mistakes in betting, and or calling/not calling.  But had fun seeing Hammerman again, and sitting next to him at the final table.

March 16, 2008, 5PM: Played 1 hour, 15 minutes, Made $10.00 at Kiss My Ace - Hangar 57
Free-Roll No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (1st out of 9 Players)

Once again, go in to have a drink, and get asked if I want to play. I decline at first, but then I get called out by a few people to jump in.  The first hand I take down a pot with a flush, then took the table by storm.  I really dont care if I win these things, but victory is still sweet.  I get headsup with the guy that just wants to leave cuzz he has to get up in the morning.  Of course, he catches everything after he says that to make it to the top two.  Then I said that we should just go all in in the dark, and I won back to back hands to win.  Got a ten dollar voucher for the hangar.

March 15, 2008, 5PM: Played 1 hour, Made $47.00 at Big Daddy's
$4/8 Texas Hold'em

This was a nacho induced session....let me explain.  I had to stay late as the supervisor, because we were firing up a second game, and we needed another body to get it fired up.  So Dave jumped in the game and I ran the room.  Then my ears here this wonderful sound..."There is a nacho bar over here for anyone!" So, I go over to Dave and say damn thats good, but I m on the clock.  Then he suggested that I jump in the game and clock off....BRILLIANT!
 
The session was a good one...just having fun, playing semi conservative.  Caught a flush and a few other decent hands held up.  I was up about 80 at one time.  The only hand I really lost big on was pocket rockets getting snapped by k7 going runner runner flush.  Silly boy! Good times indeed,,,,a win and free nachos.

March 9, 2008, 9PM: Played 20 minutes, Broke Even at Kiss My Ace - Hangar 57
Free-Roll No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (14th out of 18 Players)

I decided to head up and drop off some lighters to give away as prizes,, and I didnt really want to play, like usual, but Maka wanted to make me a bounty so I obliged.  Just goofing off playing every hand, then when I actually do catch a flush on the turn, I get called by second pair with a single card flush draw.  So, I rooted for him to hit on the river, and he did....lol.
 
Fun times mingling with the beginners...they like to pick your brain, and it is good advertising for WPS.  I think I head to some of the other locations if I get a chance and chat with the players.

Free-Roll No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (4th out of 8 Players)

Just went in to make sure there was another body playing in the first week of these tournaments.  Got bored and shoved and ran into JJ.  But still, is a good thing.  They are running a great thing up there.

$20 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (5th out of 29 Players)

Made a deal at the final five so everyone would be in the green.  Just skated along and fell into the money.
