So have u ever been on any exciting poker adventures that you care to share?

So once I was telling my friend about this exciting knew poker spot that I had found. After I told him he was so anxious that he kept pestering me to take him there......So after finally getting annoyed I gave in.......So we hired a car (his cousin) to take us to the spot and pick us up back, u'd calling him when we were ready...... So, on our arrival at the spot, my friend called me aside and told me that he was broke, I had to spot him a few bucks..........Can you flipping believe this? This broke son of a gun nagged me to take him to a poker game with his broke self........My friend is a very good poker player though and more importantly he is a great card handler, a cheat if you will, once you blink he'll stack the deck, he has stacked the deck....

So we entered the game and were about a hour into into when, it was my friends turn to be the dealer...... and he got his chance, they 'blinked', I knew better so I insta-folded.........The pot raise now left to be contested between him and this older guy who loved raising, a LAG, if u will......It was fixed limit poker but pretty high stakes (by our standards)........So my friend raised out every single penny that he had on his hand and then came on my hand and raised out every single penny (its allowed in our variation of the game), using only my last dollar to finally 'call' the guy's bet, seemingly only stopping is raising on the assumption that that was the last of my money so he hadn't anymore to raise..........

So now it was time to declare his hand.....my friend declared four of a kind, four aces with a smirk on his face...Of course he had, the slick son of a gun had stacked the deck unbeknownst to any one but me.......He was so confidently making as if he was ready to collect the pot without even seeing the other guy's hand.....When to my amazement, to our amazement the guy stops him, playfully taps him on his hand and smiled and said u have lost...he showed a straight flush.....the look of dismay on his face was priceless, the look on my face of 'wtf just happened?, how am I going to be repaid?' was indescribable..............

So it was time for us to go home....both of us broke, not even a penny our pockets. Luckily we had paid our transport fee before we started the gambling, right?? So we dialled the drivers number a million times to come to pick us up and until this day he hasn't answered the phone lol.....He had to walk home about 20 miles and this was about 2 a.m in the morning...:D

Hello everyone, my name is Sasha, I'm 23 years old. I want to talk about how I started playing poker, what I have achieved, and a little about yourself.
In the spring of 2010, I came to the army: wink:, need to look for a job, think about life and all that))) But instead I take walks to the end of the summer shower))) And now I'm home from a friend, a beer with fish, and the girls vkontakte parallel he plays poker as we sit vkontakte meets all our girlfriends and decide what time we go for a walk today) Yes he plays poker me so enraged horror))) I do not remember what he played, but full of cheap tournament. That's it and I Ask After ****ing yes confusing you with these cards come cut and went for a walk ... it is not, an hour later I go doigruyu ... well I think I sit there and start to watch yes yes he played on pokerstars)) ) I watch for it all, and yes, he knew damn 6 hours won 105 Dolar, maybe I should try to play, and all of a sudden I get a good player, because I'm good with beer in DE Berz)))))) So That's when I decided to learn to play ... of course not immediately on the SS decided to start with the free poker in social networks. poker stars also free but I do not know what it is, just a game on figki, I thought just for money)
At first everything was not so I read the rules taught by a combination of 3-4 months, I have already won 30 million in chips, I was shocked at how quickly I filled many chips) ..
After this triumph, I decided to try to play already on Poker Stars, and here I am please become and I Bingoooo user Poker Stars: lol: money I decided to start not vlazhivat and play freerolls and the satellites are different which award tickets!
Singular success in the first month mene failed to reach as vygrat 5 Dolar in Divizione3 and a pair of tickets to the weekly finals for beginners) + I have passed tests on Poker Stars Starster on this site and get tickets for the CIS.
And so I had a couple of EPF and the pair of tickets I started playing micro limits of 25 cents CIS 45 people managed to win a little Dolar 70 somewhere for a month ... then I decided to raise the limits and play CIS for 1 ye (45 people). There I why can lose, perhaps due to lack of experience or more chegoto, at that time I did not understand why I lose ... I lost almost all the money that so diligently stuffing a whole month ... I was on tilt and lost everything and psihomi Well its said that the bath this Poker, it's all nonsense ... (at that time I did not know that such a tilt, DUNSTRIK etc.:-D) Somewhere 2 months I have not played ... until she passed the bitterness of defeat)) ))
And so I calmed down and decided to do .. a deposit and then the fun began .. I started playing again 25 Cent tournaments, poker school in parallel on this site I read a strategy game watched this video about poker and so on .... and parallel decided to try to play live poker in our club in the city ... in the club playing freerolls SAT for tickets ... won a pair of tickets to tournaments .. but let us not ofe my story on poker Stars and my game on it)) )
And so I played 25 cents (sng45 people.) That way, and I advise all beginners who start on PokerStars, only in this poker room are equipped with micro limits which are so easy and convenient, you can start your career)))) Things went Vgoru if possible so to speak)) for the beginner who falls every second game on the final table, you can say ****))) My bank roll the beginning of growth ... I won about 150 ye about a month ... played a lot of hours despite the fact that I was now playing not one single and 4 windows at the same time ... on the higher limit would not climb as recalled his past failure! There is a saying that good poker player barely remembers when his big win, but always remembers and can tell about the most powerful and uzhastno lesions ....))) and I remember that as priogral 70 EPF for a couple of days) )) For when these okopeyki but when they stuffed about a month, it seemed Millions)) Well, it had begun ... and then I discovered for myself a new discovery I good enough to play MTTs in the long run, I have enough patience and esti how shall I say tight))) and I'm starting to storm several MTT (micro limits) at the same time, and what do you think YES in the first week I win the tournament with 2 Bain 2.2 + P + a in 4th place, and 3.3 + P + a ranked 5th in total + with me somewhere beyond 1000 ue for the week ... I'm just so happy, and all the joy overwhelms me, oo yeah how could I forget, and pride in themselves, then I won the poker))) and first earned decent money))) I like to say it to assert itself and realized that I could win ...
Another 2 weeks I played + and my roll was 1700 somewhere, and it's all in the MTT (no cache and without CIS) Here I understand that you need to add a little bit above the Bain and I start playing at 9 MTT simultaneously from 1.1 to 11 + ve rebayniki from 1.1 to 5.5! My roll begins uzhastno then jump up then vnih and up again, but do not be afraid to regulars MTT is normally voplne)) as the game is on 9 screens simultaneously vlazhivaesh 30-50 ye)))
And since I'm already 9 windows within the night I vmazat 5.5 + P, the word vmazat I mean that it was possible to fill the stack and get the last etam games, after the bubble, Perez final table .... all the other tournaments I have already finished ..ostalsya one tournament here this rebaynik, I think now it doigruyu and sleep .....
Blogger from me until much, so if not stronger oats written so wrong, forgive me))) This is my first blog))) But those who will read it and think like chegoto new for myself with my studies and my story would take for himself. .! 8)
Here's a link to a screen finalka this tournament, and so I play this tournament everything goes perfectly AK WIN as it should have blood pressure, QC at 10-10 and so on ... in a game of 14 people I have come rockets (AA) and my opponent with Rosii AK suited, and what you think we are up to the flop of the deer and he had a flush))) and my stack of 2 Leman prevraschaetsya 700,000 in chips) I panic as well as play all the way so pravelno and catch Beth bit before the finalka! And so I was in a terrible maralnom can cope with, and did not know at all whether I want to or already play well, it all and shove a couple of times and even play anymore ... since I umenja the short stack (((I advise everyone never did do because no matter how much you ostalosfishek ... the main thing that they were .. and you're still in the game .. fight to the last .. so I did and I decided even though such a move to play again ... and it was the smartest decision ... My stack was afraid the whole table since I 700ka and they 1M + average in all, ie pushing feared all my ... I started to play very agresivno AK pushil in response to any raise with a small pocket I began to re-steal raisers without fear and play catch olyn ocherednyo konflip my stack quickly turned into a 1m 500 ka for a couple of minutes .. (I do not know how it cost you to play in this stage of the game, but personally I choose tolko agresivny style game so .. how many people want to get as much as possible in the above prizes, and I tolok purposeful in the first place, because the difference in high places corny vyygrashah))) 9th place will receive 600 euro to 5000 and the first ye))) and so I chose the only aggression and its and quickly began to fill his stack at the final table, I sat down with 3M +, with mnyo the table was another aggressor kotoyry filled about 5M + rest were very passive players and played in place, + and was very amazing person called FISH))) ) she pushila final table with AJ and even first words ... and kolirovala 6-J mastevyh 2 olyna proitv AK and BP and catching flush))) Actually Vechelje was very ... And so I sit and I can play oskazat samy important tournament with a huge prize in my life recently, I was playing freerolls and here is the deal here))) go QQ to me at the first word I do standart raise 2 bet, the chip leader aggressor turns me 3 times .. at first I was scared but few suddenly there KK or AA poetmou chose to just call and see the flop! On the flop, I'm older than me an over pair, I get a check in response to raise the bank and there was my very first and hardest decision of my poker game so I ladies, yes I flop over on ... but is there smysel continue proitv agresora Yes, and all that and still chip leader who will play with mnyo the entire stack, and suddenly there really KK or AA, I decide not to twist it and just chop and if you come to the ace or to throw at him .. olyn sloe me does not help, he again puts raise bank, I count .. pOT more than 4-million ie if I win this hand I'll be out of touch and very strong ... The river is the lady ... and then I'm going to quickly olyn knowing that the opponent have a hand in such a sweat and it would call him anyway ... and yes he calls him JJ, I miscalculated a little with the hand, but played a hand putting an opponent to the maximum
When we left 5 people, we decided to share the prize money ... and I got a 4200 ye!
Here's my brief history of the game with micro limits up to a solid victory in the 4200 ye!translation is not perfect))

I have a hellmuth story

I was at the final table of a small buy in WPT Deepstacks event. One player is wearing a wsop bracelet; this is a small time event in Oregon so naturally a conversation begins around that fancy bracelet...

The wearer of that bracelet claims this is a true story:

He is a poker dealer. Many years ago he won the Casino Employees $500 WSOP bracelet event. A couple years later he made another final table at a WSOP event and he was the short stack at a table with a bunch of Pros Including Phil Hellmuth.

Phil Hellmuth starts going on and on about what a tough table this is, How there are 10 bracelets at this table and isn't that incredible.

This poker dealer replies "actually there are 11 bracelets"

Phil is adamant, no there are only 10...there are my 6 plus this one that one this one that one etc...

The poker dealer replies "How much do you want to bet there are 11 bracelets at this table?"

Phil says "I'll bet you a lammer there are only 10 bracelets at this table" (FYI A lammer is a $500 WSOP tournament token that only buys you into WSOP tournaments. They are easy to sell).

The dealer says yes to the deal, the dealer pulls out his bracelet from his pocket. After the dealer explains how he won it, Phil Hellmuth claims that bracelet doesn't count because it's the Casino Employees event and claims that he actually won the bet!

Well, the table shames Phil into paying the poker dealer and so he won a $500 lammer....so he says he always brings it to poker tourneys now...

The legend of Poker Alice
One of the most memorable wild women of the old west, Poker Alice moved to Colorado from England in the 1860s and eventually married a mining engineer who played cards at local gambling parlors. Alice accompanied her husband, learned the games and began playing for a living after her spouse died. She earned the name Poker Alice and quite a reputation to boot. By the end of the gold rush, Alice had made over $5,000 (an enormous amount for those days) and moved to New York to retire. In her lifetime, the wild woman shot two men, killing one, and eventually opened an establishment which was a combination of a card room and a brothel.
Cool Fact: Despite her wild ways, Alice refused to play or deal cards on Sunday, and chose to teach Sunday school lessons to her fellow ladies.

My buddy and I were playing 1/2NL at Foxwoods a few years ago with this middle aged black guy who was really drunk and playing sloppy loose... but he was running over the table. He kept swearing and calling the Asian dealer "Chang".
It was pretty annoying, but also kinda funny. But eventually the floor came over and warned him and he apologized. As the floor was walking away the dude mutters under his breath "but I'm a Narragansett Indian".
A few minutes later his terrible play leads to him losing nearly all of his chips. He then starts getting even louder than before and gets warned again. This time he says "I should own this place, I'm a Narraganset Indian!"
(FYI Narragansett is a Native tribe from around Rhode Island and has no affiliation with Foxwoods Casino)
So the floor comes back over and he threatens to flip the table and beat up "Chang". So of course they call security and have him removed. But as they are dragging him out of the table he yells "You can't do this! IM A NARRAGANSETT MOTHER****ING INDIAN"
I don't think he was really a Narragansett Indian, or why it would matter if he was... but every time I want to get a laugh out of my buddy I just tell him I'm a Narragansett mother****ing indian.

I was deployed to Iraq and poker was a big stress relief during my deployment. They were having a tourney, and I told the guys I was headed out to win the tourney. I came back the next day as the winner. My buddy, also a poker player was surprised and was talking smack. So the next tourney came up, I told him I was going to go win that tourney and then never play there again because I will have nothing to prove. I went and actually won, and did not go back to the tourney, I just played cash games from there!!
