In the words of Tony Soprano, "Always with the drama..." I know i saw this on another thread but I've been doing a marathon of the show. Its a classic in my opinion.

i am so strong

Thanks for your input TP and Brian. I'm actually not a "beginning" player, but I'm not as advanced as alot of people on here seem to be. I've been playing seriously for about a year and a half.

As far as kicking Brian's butt, I will IM him later and see if he is up to playing. If so, I will start a thread so whoever wants to rail can. It's nice to know Vegas has me as the favorite. If anyone wants to bet on Brian let me know and I'll throw the match for a percentage of the winnings.

I'll send you back to your trash can Oscar, if we meet in the HU tourney.

I PM'd Brian half an hour ago, no response. Lets do this another day. Peace.

Now Brian....
Pay the bills first.
Then play poker if you want!

Is this match going to happen? I have a 20 spot riding on it with another forum member, who will remain nameless. I will also not tell you who I bet on.

But I definitely want to rail this one if it ever happens!

...although everyone's analysis is correct [it is simply a semi-bluff followed by a check raise giving the strength of your hand away], "the move" is quite effective at lower limits. I can't explain how, or why, etc, but I have used it in the past ... and even at the $1/2 tables, it actually works pretty well.

Obviously, you're not going to stack off a world class player, but if you're a low limit NL grinder, it's a weapon that I've certainly used in my arsenal often.

Thanks for the support Lou, glad to see you are back. I actually used the "move" earlier today and it worked great. $25NLHE on Party. The guy only had about 12 bucks left but he put them in the middle on the turn, trying to bluff me. See, when you bet the flop, then check the turn when the flush comes, it makes it look like you are afraid of the flush and that makes your opponenet think he can represent the flush and make you fold. Plus he thinks since you bet the flop you must have a made hand of some kind, not just a draw. Not world class by any means, but very effective on the fish that swim in the low limit waters of Party Poker.

As for the heads up match with Brian, I'm still interested in playing. I'm available in the afternoons sometime between 11am and 3pm. It all depends on when my son takes his nap, how long he sleeps, etc... It's better for me at 9pm when he is in bed. I'll be available pretty much anytime starting Monday so post here Brian or IM me your availability.

As for the twenty dollar side bet TP, let us know who you bet on after the match is done and who you bet with. I want to laugh in the face of whoever bet on Brian.

I agree with Lou 100%. There is a HUGE difference in playing low NL hold em and high NL hold em. I can not believe some of the hands people call my all-ins with at the 1/2 tables. its like they think 'You will NOT bluff me out of this pot". At the higher tables, it is a completely different story.
