Playing poker live

I prefer to play poker live, rather than online. sometimes at my mates house or in the pub or at an orginized poker club or casino. I find online poker to be a bit dull after a while, the main reason is that you aint got no one to talk to on line, apart from the crappy player chat thingy, wich most people use to abuse and insult the muppets, I`v done it myself, on many occasions.
Any opinions about live verses online, post me a comment and we can all live happy and fruitfull lives, for all of eternity or something.

Mid pairs

I read an interesting article in pokerplayer magazine, about playing mid pairs.
They say that you will only improve on them 12 percent of the time, so you wont improve 88 percent of the time! Also 77 has got a 50/50 chance against 9/10 suited so wach out for those mid pairs.
There were lots of good tips and advice on playing texas holdem in this mag and if you subscribe over the internet you can have it for a whole year for £7.50 (about $15) .

What do you think?

Four of a kind

I got busted last night, i had pocketfour`s, other guy had K3, I limped in, then the flop came, 333 , alarm bells were ringing but i still chucked all my chips in. I thought that he might fold to my all in raise but it was not to be . never expected that, oh well .
Got any nightmare poker tales to tell ?? come on, share them with us, post a comment.

Online poker cheating

Have you ever had the feeling that there are players on your table who are playing together? Its bound to go on . I`v had my doubts about alot of games that i have been involved with. What do you think? post me your comments on this subject. I would be very interested to know what you think and what if anything can be done to avoid it.

Best starting hands?

My favourite starting hand is AK suited, i prefer it to AA as it has more potential to improve than AA, well thats my opinion anyway. Also the chances of getting AK suited are lower than that of getting dealt AA.
whats your favourite starting hand? let me know what and why?
have a look at this sitewww.cardplayer.com/poker_odds/ its full of odds and statistics on different hands and scenarios. post me your comments tell me what you think.

My best hand so far

What is the best hand you have ever had? mine was a nine ten jack queen king flush, have you ever had a royal flush? post a comment and let me know.

Week preflop raise

I was in a mtt the other night, when everyone folded to me and there were 3 players after me. (i was the big blind) i was sitting with AJ off, so i put in a minimum raise of 500 had about 4000 chips. others had around 6/10,000 chips. two folded and the last one called, the flop came A37, so then i went all in and the guy called me , He had A3, i was out. i thought he was a monkey for calling my raise with A3, but soon realised he probably would have folded, if i had raised alot higher than 500. He must have thought that if i had a picture card ace i would have raised higher , so he called for 500 thinking it was a bargain . oh well you live and learn. (ps the blinds were about 150- 300.)
