Some guy at my table went all in on the first hand and everyone laughed at him. He was gone about half an hour later.

Yeah, the winner of last year was cool. They all made fun of him. Like mentioned earlier, they all called him "dead money", but you have to start somewhere.

Greg isn't "dead money" by any stretch. I've played with him maybe a dozen times in the 40/80 game at Foxwoods and a couple of tournaments. He's a solid player who has a law practice when he's not playing.

He's not Chris Moneymaker, the guy who won last year, who was mostly just amazingly lucky. Greg's smart, careful and completely unreadable.

I'd be surprised if he didn't win it all this year. He's having a hell of a day today, getting lucky at the right times and having hands where he should win hold up. He was up to 3 million or so chips last time I checked.

We'll know all tomorow, but I think he's got a great shot. He's also wearing THESE

How can he possibly fail?

Wooo!! Me and hubby love World Poker Tour. Hope you make it far! If you don't, take out some jackass like Phil Helmut or something, I can't stand him.

Yeah I was almost disgusted at how lucky he was. He had sweet hand after sweet hand and all the cards when he didn't.

I was out on the first day, but thanks for the wishes :)

On the upside, you'll be happy to know that either I lasted longer than Helmuth or he didn't play. I didn't see him around. The newest villan in poker circles is Annie Duke who got busted out of the tournament on a bluff with king high which was called by an unkown guy with ace high. In her "exit" interview all she did was complain about how horrible the guy played and how he shouldn't have called, etc. etc. The gneral consensus being if she had called with ace high she'd be writing a book about how great she wa at reading people.

Hey, Greg won.

Mren, I take it you disagree with the reading people thing, which is fine, but one would wonder why it is that the best poker players in real life are also the best poker players ONLINE if reading people was of great value. Tough to read someone's reactions over the net.

Now Smash despite what information of poker you gathered from watching a Matt Damon movie I should inform you that probably 75% of 'reading' a player occurs from how quickly they call, fold, or raise. All things that can carry over well on the internet, sure how someone smoke a ciggarete might give away some clues to their hand, but certintly not enough to matter.

Really 90% of all information gathered on a hand is gathered first round of betting. Watching how quickly a player throws in his money, seeings as most ameutuers decide to 'bluff' when they figure out their hand is ****. You can see how easy it would be to figure out someone has rags when they go all in on the river but took 5 seconds to decide if they should even call for the flop.

If what you say is true someone could just design a bot to play pure odds over the internet and walk away a billionare.

It's also not to say that your estimate that the majority of a poker players skill is the ability to calculate odds in their heads. Just about 75% of it, not 99.99%

Hmmm, me thinks we should have an internet Alla poker tourny to determine the champ here. I'd have to give Mren odds.

They do. Limits played on the internet are fairly low, but there are people who bot 3/6 games for ~1k a month consistently.

Yeah, that's the point I made about reasing players being poinntless. You're talking about reading play not players. Reading players means that two players do EXACTLY THE SAME THING and you respond in a diffrent manner.

Learn to read.

I guess the level of amatuers you play with is astonshingly more predictible than those I play with. Obviously if someone is transparent to the point where they may as well tell you they're bluffing that's nice for you, but anything along those lines pretty much ends with .50/$1 games.

I think we're just talking about two diffrent levels of poker is all. I'm talking about the importance of reading players in the WSOP, you're talking about people who barely understand the rules of the game.

Anytime you want to play heads up somewhere, feel free to drop me a line.
