What is it that's so great about watching Phil Hellmuth lose because of bad play on someone else's part? :lol:

Edit - now he keeps asking when they're going to change dealer! He's such a bastard :lol:

Which episode is it in as I haven't watched them all yet.

No idea, I just saw it on justin.tv and clicked on it. Cash game at the Golden Nugget. He lost everything going all in when he flopped top set against Ivey's straight :lol:

Ah well, just started episode 10 out of 12 so it must be fairly soon.

Easy game. :shifty:

Nice hand. I just played a HU game that lasted for one hand. I min raised AJo on the button, he went all in so I called and beat his A2o. 8-)

Ah it's a different storm off to the one I've just watched, I thought you were talking about the Million Dollar Cash game that Sykes was talking about last night.

Shame that guy didn't have his stack topped up a bit more though...

Should I stick to 10$ SnGs and MTTs now or move over to 10/25NL soonish? My roll is at $600 ish and I've had limited success at 25NL before...

Speaking of which...

Full Tilt Million Dollar Cash Game Season 3

I just tried a $1 90-man turbo, I won't be doing that again. Here is a representative hand:

Season 4 of the Million Dollar is about as well, I've seen epsiode 1 up on Youtube at any rate.

Yeah, it's being shown on Sky Sports at the moment. S3 is my favourite so far though.

I think he is talking about the latest series of Poker After Dark, around about episode 30.

I watched that episode on the way back from the GR Meet. My favourite Hellmuth outburst though still has to be the one against Dragomir from the 2008 Main Event.

Just been checking myself up on SharkScope, here's my recent results:

Very nice Drummy. Can you recommend a type of 11$ game for me? You might have already though :oops:

I was thinking of playing some 25NL...

EDIT - Ah yes, 6 max Tournies. I might have a go at some of them, then.

Just pay me to teach you how to play HUSNG and I will grant you godmode.exe. Jamie is on his way to it.

Seriously though on the best run good of my entire life. Roll at this second is £3630.70 :shock:

Am playing now on ipoker if anyone fancies some insane railing + msn. I feel like chatting.

Woah

You don't need my money

$13 6-max seems soft enough tbh, but I'm getting a little unlucky. Cashed two second places in a row, but lost with A8 vs T8, all in on a flop of 385, T on the turn. In another with 3 left, I shoved a button raiser with 33 and the BB called with KK :lol:

And just now, my AQ lost heavily to AT on a board of TT5Q8with 3 left

PostRe: The Poker Thread - $4.40 Mania by **Nova** » Sat Jan 09, 2010 12:27 am

AND THEN, I get it in with AT vs KJ and the flop comes ATQ :lol:

I'm left with 400 chips, but unbelievably, I WIN! One guy is multi-tabling, yet always aggressive enough so I let him donate chips until I call a raise with 87 and flop trips, he quickly gets everything in with QQ. NOICE. First session of 6max - 4 games, 2 2nds, 1 win - around $45 profits

Guess the EV line:

Copy this into paint and draw a red EV line where you think my EV for this month is. A $5 prize for the winner to your pokerstars account. (The line which best matches my actual EV line).
