    your job is to spot those folks and just for fun give them a nice ride but not care a whit when they crash. wheee!
    Been there many times....and the rush was worth it every time!

    I see that discussing hands by talking vs. typing are two different things. Too much typing for me.

    The question on whether one is making a mistake is if they would make the same move if they knew what the other player's cards were. Had I known you had an Ace / rag in that situation I'd have to fold. KJ off suit is a POS hand in a raised pot in the middle of the tournament, but heads up it goes up in value.

    When heads up and the villain goes all in pre-flop when they have a lot of chips left and their opponent also has a lot of chips it tells me either they have no hand and they are bluffing, or possibly the hand isn't that good and they don't want a call - a hand like Q-10, T9s, or even 33. If you had AA, KK, QQ, or even JJ (KK and JJ less likely since I have one of each), you probably want a call and you don't raise that much. Of course now that I said that I know you might do it with AA next time.

    It also depends on the player, how many chips they have left, how many you have, your current table (I can't think of the right word) "persona" (have you been aggressive or passively lately), etc. And of course whether your opponent has a casserole in the oven that may be close to burning.

    just don't forget the 60/40 split. whammo kablammo. it is predictable and consistently replicatable. you can play those odds with confidence... if you can spot them. they will happen either way. best to be on the right side of the dime.

    also, i hardly ever cook. and i hate casseroles. out here they call them 'hot dish'. and they usually have tater tots in them. i hate tater tots. at taco john's they call tater tots "potato ole's". i have been to mexico and they do not have tater tots there. nor potato oleys. (out here 'oley' is a common norwegian and joke name for 'johnny'). but you dance with the one who brung ya.

    see you all sunday, sunday, sunday...

    One thing I know, in the last two tournaments I have been hit by the deck. Big starting hands, hitting flops, making draws. It's been fun. I know it won't last forever so I'll take it.

    The deck was good to me the game before last, even had me thinking I had burro on the run when it was down to final 3 there for a bit. and then I lost it all pretty quick after that.

    daaammmnnn! longest game ever. you'd think it was world series of poker or something. folks just refuse to go down and stay down.

    there were two great classic hands there that i sort of remember. one against tom and one against userque. excellent play.

    i would be very careful with my buy in and bankroll around every one of the tsptalk poker club folks. they will strip you bare.

    there is nothing wrong with 2nd place, burro, there is nothing wrong with second place, click your ruby heels burro, there is nothing wrong with second place.

    i recognize odds and fair play and luck and as much as it may not seem like it the emotions come and go but matter not a whit. but dognammit, i really wanted to win that one, i was gonna take that sonofabitch down, hard. but it didn't happen. this time.

    Dear burro,

    Before we even met, you were 2nd place to me. After I found this site, you were still in your place. Going forward, you will stay in your place.

    That is all,
    Q
