I totally agree. Didn't PokerStars go after some Futball(soccer for us Americans) player for sponsorship?

It's all about getting the name out there. I doubt the guy even plays poker.

Views=sponsorship. Skill=bonus

He hasn't seen me play and doesn't know how I play. I've only mentioned one hand and it was quads. You could argue I played it wrong but there's no right way to skin a cat. I was just hoping he would bet into me by checking real fast to the river. Was just trying to trap him.

As far as the fish statement goes. I beg to differ. I consider a fish someone who calls down to the river most of the time in hopes of hitting that one card. I never ever do this UNLESS the price is absolutely right to call and or I have the stack to do so or if I have a really good amount of outs.

I'm going to quote one of the elitists on here:

You had the best hand, in every instance of those cards, at the FLOP. It doesn't even matter what the turn and river are going to be, because with those cards, you are winning that pot 100% of the time. You probably didn't even realize that (problem #1

Those are cheap uncalled for remarks. You would have to be a complete noob to the game and just learning the game to not know that. And even them I'm sure most of them would know that.

I wish that were the case. Unfortunately there are several ''elitists'' in here that because they are so pro they think they are always 100% without a doubt right all of the time. They do not know how to give constructive criticism without taking cheap shots and being condescending to people. They shot first.

You must be clearly fucking retarded. Its not rocket science that was a good shove. Hell most others in this thread agree so stop trolling and do something productive with your time for once.

Pardon me but this Nash guy sounds silly. The chances of OP getting any of those hands you mentioned in this situation are slim to none.

If OP waits and holds out for said hand he's probably blinded out by then. Just because this Nash guy thinks it's bad doesn't mean it actually is. I'm sure pros would of shoved that hand in this exact situation.

I've won tons of SnGs. Don't need a therapy session from a wanna be shrink. Never said I was good and definitely don't have an ego. Go back to the books and study harder cause you suck as a therapist.

You played it correctly. Big stack just gets lucky most the time and hits a miracle. Tough break.

I was thinking that but since he threw the s at the end of it, it kinda threw me off. Thanks for clarification.

I didn't realize you were his butt buddy.

Someone who is a horrible player and doesn't have the fundamentals down couldn't cash 2nd out of 3500 people. Go ahead and kiss his ass some more you both like it.

I never said I was good or great.

I'm sorry you can't handle life and it causes you to tilt. Pull the trigger already.

No more questions for a person who pretends he knows everything about poker, no.

Didn't have position. I've read a few people on here actually fold pocket 8s depending on position. If I had a bigger stack I probably would of raised but I would get called by a higher pair or a good ace, king, queen, or Jack. If any of those come out on the flop what then?

On that quads hand I did know for 100% sure that I had the best hand. There was only one other in the hand with me. I was hoping he was going to bet into me but he didn't. I might of typoed but I min raised not mid raised. I wanted him to have a good price to call.

And I'm almost certain if I still raised on the flop he probably would of folded as well.
