I like this shirt.
I'd rather it be 5 cards though.
A better one would be "I like <picture of an unsuited 2 and Jack". So, a poker player would read it as "I like two Jack off."

Big news about online poker.
The winner of the World Championship of Online Poker Main event, the biggest online event of the year, had been disqualified.
Pokerstars investigated the winner and determined that the winner used multiple accounts. He set up a second account in his sister's name and used that.
Now, everybody else who played gets moved up one place. People who finished on the bubbles get more $.

Terrible day, with an OK ending.
Played Pokertime, got all-in pre-flop with the best of it, and the guy hit four hearts to make the river flush to beat me.
Went to sign up for the first freeroll and it didn't take my points.
I logged back in later and this time it allowed me to bring up the registration screen, but I only had two minutes and registration took over two minutes to process! ARGH!
Then I forgot to register for the 8:30 game I wanted to play in.
So I played the 10:00 stud freeroll and made it to the money. Now, this is my third time playing, and it wasn't until I hit the money that I realized that it wasn't limit! The freaking Pokertime software just didn't click in my head.
Once I had that eureka moment, I started kicking much ass. I dominated.
Of course, true to form, I got too wild and tangled with a chip leader.
Yadda yadda yadda... all-in with the best of it... yadda yadda kicked in the nuts.
Anyway, 20th place paid $.90, which isn't too bad. 21'st would have been $.60, and everything to 11th got $.90 as well.
Had I won that hand I'd have been an unstoppable force of awesomeness.

You guys playing on the Absolute Poker website?

"Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid."
That's been a big deal for awhile now.
No, I don't play there. I think I played there once, for free, just to see what it was like.
In short, a developer had an account that couldn't play, but could view the hole cards of everyone at the table.
He used that account to observe the tables while playing with one of several abandoned accounts that he took over.
Since he couldn't cash out with those accounts (the money would go to the account owners) he would then have acquaintances play against him, where he'd purposefully lose all his winnings.
I don't see how Absolute Poker can survive this. Everyone and their mother is abandoning the site, and taking their $$$ with them.

I hit the Railbirds.com freeroll (if anybody signs up, my username is: SavagePenguin)
It was announced 2 hours ahead of time.
Registration was 1 hour ahead of time.
1,363 people signed up.
I finished in 898'th place.
1st $46
2nd $27
3rd $17
4th $11
5th $6.50
6th $4.30
7th+ $2.50
You need 24th to get at least $1, and the final pay position (138th) gets $.30
The game was pot limit 5 card draw. I don't think I've ever played that before. Limit games give me trouble, and I have pretty poor reading abilities with draw.
I mean, if they get one card, is it because they're drawing to a straight? A flush? Do they already have two pair?
Twice I was dealt a full boat, so I took no cards. It's pretty obvious that I'm not to be trifled with when I make a bet, then take no cards.
I also had no idea what a good hand was. A good hand is trips. Most of the time the winner has two pair. 6-handed tables BTW.
Also, if you browse the blogs on Railbirds.com you'll find people who put bounties on themselves. If you post a reply with your account name, and you're the one to bust them, they'll transfer $ to your account.
I signed up for bounties on three people. Two offered $1 on themselves, one offered $2. I never saw any of them.

This afternoon I hit my first No Limit Texas Hold'em Railbirds tournament. I vowed to do well this tournament, putting my full effort into it.
Thirty minutes in I disconnected. When I finally reconnected I had a countdown asking if I should fold/call/raise... with A/A. Sweet. I more than doubled up.
A bit later I made a decent bet as BB with A/Q suited. Then it disconnected. When I got back on, I'd lost my $. Dang it. I guess I was called, then it auto-folded me after the flop.
Tournament details:
1,558 entries. $200 in prize money. Pays to 150-something place I think. Winner gets $43.
48 minutes in I was 1/695 with 19k. Average stack was 3.4k.
1st break I was in 4/550 with 19k, average was 4k, and largest 25k.
2nd break I was 6/171 with 42k, average was 14k, and largest was 72k.
2:42 in I was 2/118 with 63k, average was 20k, and largest was 83k.
3rd break I was 45/61 with 21k, average was 38k, and largest was 122k.
3:31 in I was 11/47 with 63k, average was 49k, and largest was 219k.
Then I disconnected for over 12 minutes with 77.5k (11th place with 31 remaining)
When I got back on I had 44.6k remaining, (17th place with 18 remaining).
4:10 in I was knocked out in 17th place.
Payoff was $.82.
Two more places and I'd have made $1.19.
Of course, the cheapest sit & go on FT is $1 + $.25 (yuck), and the cheapest table games are $.05/$.10 with a minimum $2 buy-in. So I need to win at least another $.43 to play with that money.

How does the railbirds freeroll work? They run their tournaments on Pokertime and pokerstars?
Whatever happened to partypoker?

“Activism is a way for useless people to feel important, even if the consequences of their activism are counterproductive for those they claim to be helping and damaging to the fabric of society as a whole.” - Dr Thomas Sowell
I have never played on PartyPoker.
If you're referring to the Absolute Poker fiasco, their story is that a programmer pointed out the flaw and was ignored. Then the programmer exploited the flaw, using an owner's account to embarrass him.
Absolute Poker is in the process of tracking all of the tainted games and will be returning all money people lost to the cheater. Any money they won to the cheater they keep.
I'm not sure what they'll do about tournaments. I assume people who finished worse than him will get moved up in rankings/prize money, but what do you do about people who he busted out? Return their entry fee?
Railbirds.com is a poker website. They have forums and blogs and a daily quiz and something like 30,000 members. None of that is special.
What *is* special is that they offer freerolls on Poker Stars and on Full Tilt. There's usually around 1,500 players at each freeroll, who compete for $200 in prize money.
They have several daily freerolls, though only one a day seems to fit in my playable window.
They also have "ranked" freerolls as well, and ranked money tournaments. Basically, a ranked game gives you rank points, which can qualify you for some cool prizes. The guy at the end of the year with the highest ranking gets a WSoP Main Event buy-in, along with $2k for travel expenses.
This month's #1 ranked guy plays a $1,000 heads up match against William Thorsson. Even if you lose, you still get $250 and a 2GB MP3 player.
If you join, please put SavagePenguin as your referrer, as if I refer someone I get an invite to a bonus freeroll.
As far as the freerolls go, they send your Railbirds account a message which you have to go to their website to check. The message will arrive two hours before the freeroll, and will have the password for the game.
You can only register for the game one hour ahead of time.
Games are on both FT and PS, and aren't always No Limit Hold'em.

Played my second Railbirds NLHE freeroll
Finished 183 out of 1,712.
I could have folded my way to the money, but oh well. I don't play for the minimum payout.
Chip leader limped in pre-flop.
I had 10/10 and raised nice chunk.
He called.
Flop was 5/4/7 with two spades.
I shoved all-in. He called with K/6.
He hit the K on the turn, busting me.
Dang.

I'll probably be in the Railbirds freeroll tonight at 9:00.
I got this in my email today, regarding the Duplicate Poker I'd mentioned here before.
Evidently they have freerolls. I *assume* a $500 freeroll on that site won't attract too many people, so it may have better EV than the other freerolls.
I don't plan on checking it out though. My plate is full.
The $10 free has me curious though. I know some sites *give* play money players $5 on occasion to lure them into money games. My friend got $5 from Poker Stars, and I just heard from a guy who got $5 from Ultimate Bet.
Also, if anybody has friends friends in Germany or Austria, I know a way for them to get a free $5 on PokerStars. You sign up for a free IntelliPoker account, then got to PokerStars and click the IntelliPoker link under the Help menu, and answer the questions.

I tried Duplicate Poker. The software was total crap. And I saw a few free players, but not a single person in any cash game. They're just really desperate to get cash games rolling, enough so to give away money apparently.

Hit the 9:00 Railbirds freeroll.
Again, I put my full effort into it.
My only regret was calling a guy's hand and making the call anyway. I even asked him if he had A/Q before calling with my A/J after he shoved all-in after a A/2/6 flop. I had better than 3/1 on my money to call, but still.
Other than that, I don't have any regrets.
1,671 players
1st break I was 150/556 with $6k and an average stack of $4.5k.
2nd break I was 2/140 with $66k and an average stack of $18k.
3rd break I was 16/23 with $60k and an average stack of $109k.
Blinds at that point were 4k/8k with $400 antes, which gave me an M of less than 4.
I ended up shoving all-in with Q/9 into an unraised pot and losing to someone who had 10/10, knocking me out in 23'rd place for $.90.
It was the right move for the situation.

Hit the Railbirds 9:00 freeroll last night.
It was HORSE, on Full Tilt.
I hate limit games. I flopped the nut straight in hold'em and only managed to add 500 to my stack of 1500 by betting the max all the way.
Then in Razz I had the nuts (A/2/3) (a 4) and still lost when every other card was big. Sick sick sick.
I think I quit after 20 minutes, with only 800 in chips left.
I went to to PokerStars and played a play chip table with a friend. I had a good run, making about 130K.
When I quit I went back on FullTilt only find that I was *still* in the tournament! It was nearly an hour and a half in the tournament!
I took over the account just before the BB that would have knocked me out, shoved all-in with a better-than average hand, and lost. Oh well.
Oh... I looked up the PokerStars Blogger Championship (that I qualified for but never played in). They only had 1,337 players! (Ha ha! 1337!) Had I known the field was going to be so small I would have made an effort to play. I mean, the prizes were pretty generous.

Been hitting the ring games, as they're substantially more profitable than the freerolls. I had a goal to double my bankroll (which I finally hit Sunday), so I'd been putting my nose to the grindstone.
However we had a poker game 90 minutes away at someone's apartment in Louisville and three of us would be carpooling in the same tiny car. My friend and I decided to hit a freeroll to see who got shotgun. The first person eliminated would have to sit in the back. (Note: Piles of crap had to be shoved aside to make room for anybody in the back seat of this car)
1,581 player No Limit Hold'em on PokerStars.
I got up to 10K (twice the average stack) and then J/J bit me in the ass, knocking be down to 2,400. I managed to work my way back, and finished 84th. Unfortunately my friend made it to 34th. We both went out due to suck outs.
I lost when a guy hit a six-outer (about 13%) on the river.
My friend was even more brutal. He was a top 10 player and got a all-in with K/K against the table leader's J/J when there was a lousy (9 high) flop. The other guy turned a J. Had my friend won that, he'd have been tournament leader.
So I sat in the back on the drive up. 90 minutes. It sucked.
We agreed that the first of us eliminated from the home game would have to sit in the back on the way back.
The home game had three tables. My table was *awesome.* People didn't know what they were doing, and would do no-no's like picking up their cards and making unintentional string bets (a string bet is when you say "I call, and raise..."). And much of the table limped in on every hand.
Much of the shuffling sucked too and I saw a lot of cards on the bottom of the deck.
I never corrected these errors though, as I didn't want to embarrass anybody into playing more conservative.
I did make several corrections like "No she actually wins. See, she has a full house" though, as I thought I had an ethical duty to do that.
That was the first game I ever played where I never showed a hand.
The driver and I were about even at the break, by the friend I had the seating arrangement bet with wasn't doing well. He had a guy on his right who called every one of his bets and raises, and would win with bad cards.
After break, after bailing out of a hand where my A/K didn't connect and my bluff was re-raised (by pocket Queens I was told) I looked up and saw my friend sitting off to the side drinking his punishment beer. Beautiful!
For the record, when we play poker we don't drink. But after the game, while waiting for our friends to finish, we drink beer we brought. Said beer is the cheap and nasty kind, as the beer shouldn't be enjoyed too much. We call this "punishment beer."
I never really caught many cards. I had A/J twice, which both failed to connect with the clop but I won anyway. I had 10/10 which was my big winner after bluffing a guy off a monster pot. I also had an A/K which cost me a lot of chips when I made a continuation bet on rag-filled flop and was re-raised. One other time I was the big blind with something like 9/6 and flopped two pair.
I was in the middle of the pack when we were down to two tables. The blinds kept doubling, so it started to become a crap shoot. I had an average stack, which means that I had enough chips for three rounds.
I had an Ace and I thought about shoving all-in but I decided against it. Everyone folded to the big blind. Doh!
I had another Ace the next hand and though about shoving again, but decided not to. Everyone folded to the big blind again. Doh!
The next hand I had K/Q, so I shoved all-in, and was called by two players. Doh! One ended up making a straight, one made a flush, and I made nothing. Since they both had me covered and were playing against each other to the river I never had to turn my hand up. When I saw I lost I just mucked the cards.
The guy who invited us, the friend who drove, ended up winning the whole thing. Good for him.

I also had an A/K which cost me a lot of chips when I made a continuation bet on rag-filled flop and was re-raised. One other time I was the big blind with something like 9/6 and flopped two pair.
I was in the middle of the pack when we were down to two tables. The blinds kept doubling, so it started to become a crap shoot. I had an average stack, which means that I had enough chips for three rounds.
I had an Ace and I thought about shoving all-in but I decided against it. Everyone folded to the big blind. Doh!
I had another Ace the next hand and though about shoving again, but decided not to. Everyone folded to the big blind again. Doh!
The next hand I had K/Q, so I shoved all-in, and was called by two players. Doh! One ended up making a straight, one made a flush, and I made nothing. Since they both had me covered and were playing against each other to the river I never had to turn my hand up. When I saw I lost I just mucked the cards.
The guy who invited us, the friend who drove, ended up winning the whole thing. Good for him.
