Got 15 minutes to burn? Our friends at Winstar have this impossibly long and empty article on poker chips. https://www.winstar.com/blog/poker-chip-guide/ Has to be generative AI, ya? They don’t even get the Winstar colors right. Winstar 1s are blue and $1000 are orange.

Uh something doesn’t smell right. Clip 1: Doug Polk discussing his streams setup on March 3, 2024. 1:17ish in the below. Quote: “with our setup specifically, there are no hole cards anywhere for anyone. There isn’t a way for cards to be relayed, it’s just not possible.” He’s made this claim...

My heart rate if in a hand always rises and I cannot figure out how to relax and keep it down. If we are in a pot, it’s going to rise until it gets crazy high and stay there until hand is over. Bluffing, nuts, easy spot, hard spot, low stakes, high stakes, it doesn’t matter. And I don’t know...

Casino MTT. Unusual one. I’m in SB. Cards are dealt, Bb grabs my cards, puts on her cards, then says “uh whoops I just grabbed his hand”. The entire table folds. Floor is called.

Had red queens three times in last nights game, couple interesting spots? Don’t think I played them great. Also Texas poker is harder than it used to be. Lots of pros. Zero alcohol consumed by the table for a Saturday night of a holiday weekend. Two villains in three hands. Zero useful...

Thought this might get interesting. 24 total starting flights, with some incentives to play multiple flights even if bagged. -top 2 bags per player combined on day 2 -additional bags $1k payout but removed from play -$5k bonus for being chip leader at start of day 2. Anybody seen anything...

Early stages of a $300 bounty tournament. Blinds 100/200. Start stacks ~25000, most stacks in that range. Villain UTG blind raises pre deal to 500. UTG1 fold LJ blind reraises post deal to 900. Folds to button who calls the 900. Dunno if he realized he’s limping like a fish. He old and has...

Starting a thread, I think this is one to mark on your calendars. $200/$400 with quite the cast of characters. Nik Airball and Matt Berkey are in a heated feud over whether Berkey is a fish, including a Bellagio confrontation that started to get physical earlier this month. Doug Polk and...

Most big tourneys are multi day. At the end of the day, the exhausted dealers and TD pass out slips with seat assignments, players fill out the rest of the slip with their name and chips, mark down that info on the bag, seal it, toss it to dealer, done. The next day, the bag is at the new...

Watauga social raided by Tarrant county sheriff today. Big day 2 of tourney. Should have reshoved AT and mincashed.

An interesting one from yesterday…Warning now, I’m not going to say what I ended up going with on the turn, but Villain showed cards so part of the mystery will be revealed Here we go. Live lowish stakes tourney ($250), 45 players, 5 paid, 7 left I’m in EP, chip leader, 50bb, active (70%...

Was involved in a disagreement about the technicalities of the rule; and couldn’t find the rule. is this actually a rule? If you check back nuts IP is it a penalty instead of just missed value?

I enjoyed all two hours of this. Holy shit.

For those looking for some background noise on a Sunday afternoon, final table kicks off for event 1 ($50k NLHE) in about 10 min (1:40 central). Free on youtube Ivey and Koon both in final 7

Is a dead button heads up a thing? Watching this clip from yesterdays TCHC tourney and I’m very surprised to see a dead button get awarded heads up, forcing the SB to play OOP post flop. The SB made what I thought was a compelling case “it’s heads up, there is no dead button” but was ruled...

Anyone have one of these, and if so anyone tried pairing to a poker clock app?

Aria running an interesting series, all NLHE 2 day tourneys, buy in roughly doubles each day. The catch is that everyone who cashes is enrolled in the next tourney. Min cash in the $1100 was $1650 and an entry in the $2150 ($3800 total) Min cash in the $2150 was $4200 entry and $960 cash...

TCH Dallas runs a $365 saturday tourney and I’m intent on getting on YouTube one time. I bubbled 10th once. I have a min cash I think. Somewhere between 20 and 30 bullets deep at this point. Let’s call it 25. Bullet #26 (12/18 level 1) One hand of note. QJcc EP. raise and got like 4...

Wynn is running a progressive knockout bounty today. Seems interesting. My best understanding of the rules is that when you win a bounty, they cash half of it out right there. The other half goes in your stack. Rules https://www.visitwynn.com/documents/Wynn_Winter_Classic_Structures.pdf...
