If you've never heard of Scott Baumstein, he's a pretty successful MTT pro. Sponsored by Party Poker. I love the playing dumb approach

The sad thing is he'll probably get someone to do it.

I've always thought card protectors were dumb... Now I'm thinking maybe I get a huge one that covers the whole card.

The way I check and present my cards you would only ever see the back of one of them.

This "after tax" nonsense that this retard is proposing is also illegal.

It would result in either double taxation or tax evasion.

i have a good feeling about this guy

Actually someone was bitching at the 1k hu satellite that He sat down at like a 1 3 plo table or something really low limit. They started speculating he was broke.

Is that site for real? I saw a listing for Jamie Gold in the One Drop on there today.

The site is real and could be good. But after reading the site I have no clue how it works. Do they hold staking investment money until after a player plays and then distribute?

I had to click like 3 or 4 links to try and find the "admin fee" which is how they make money and couldn't find it

Apparently its been quite the talk this year.


Phil Ivey even tweeted about them last night. Wasn't sure if he was trolling or not but he doesn't usually troll.

Shut up garrett.

For anyone who actually watches the pokers these days the $10k Pot Limit (LOL) Holdem stream starting soon on wsop.com is super stacked with pros. Jason Koon, Shaun Deeb, Paul Volpe, Jason Les, Sam Stein, Tom Marchese, and Greg Merson are all there along with a few other randoms.

Felt I played the Millionaire Maker pretty well yesterday, though just kept airballing every draw and starting hand I was getting in the later hours of Day 1.

I did make one mistake when I got confused about the position of the raiser (somehow thought he was UTG when in fact he was late), and it changed the way I played AJss pre, which cost me the pot when the SB got in and beat me.

But other than that, I read my opponents' hands well, where I correctly didn't spaz out on hands where I was behind and yet was able to get value when I did hit.

However, the one questionable spot came in the 250/500/50 level shortly before dinner.

I had about 14.5k.

I opened with AQo in middle pos to 1300.

24-year-old kid to my left, who had been very tight during my time at the table, just flatted me, which was a bit weird. Keep in mind that this guy was a decent player, but just had a tight-aggressive playstyle, and in fact his flatting confused me, as I hadn't seen him flat during the time we were playing (and my raise could have easily been of a steal variety -- it's not like it was UTG).

Folded to button, a 40-ish Swedish guy who was playing solid for awhile but did shoot off on two hands in the past hour.

The button shoved 11k into us.

If I call and lose, I'm crippled to 3500.

I am still facing the weird flat behind me, and he has me covered (he has about 22k total).

Do you call this or fold? If there was no one behind me, I call the tilted Swede all day, but given these circumstances, what do you do?

What is he flatting there with that he can call with if you call? If you call he's folding
88 obv. He didn't flat with QQ.

Oh and you'd shove I assume, not flat

I fold. You still have a big enough stack to steal/re-raise push people out. You're not closing the action, and you're either flipping or crushed. There's a small chance of AJ/A10 but that's least likely.

[sonatine]

I cant imagine not folding there if I like money.
