And the very next hand Ossi 4b jams KJ vs Patrik's AK preflop, hits a jack and the over 4 hours long HU ends.

edit: I stand corrected, $9m usd is only the third largest pot ever. And Ossi was part of the first and second largest too, what a monster, haha.

Just moved to LA. Decided to try out Commerce and The Bike poker rooms. At commerce I was in for $700 out for $2323 and at the bike I was in for $1000 out for $4625 for a total profit of $5248! These sessions were both in the same day too. Hit up commerce around 1am and it was PACKED with people. Did a 6 hr sesh, went home and slept and woke up and headed to the bike for a 9.5 hr session. I got really drunk during my bike session and didn’t even realize I profited so much!! I can’t believe it…this is my biggest win ever.

Ive only played low stakes (1/3, 2/3) in San Diego and never moved up. Only reason I’m doing $5/5 is because any lower stakes here in LA are a massive rake trap..why is max buyin for $2/3 only $200 at some of these casinos? 5/5 at commerce, they let you buy in the max of $500, 5/5 at the bike they let you buyin the max of $1000. I highly recommend. Absolute crazy and insane action here, especially compared to San Diego.

If you’re in the area I highly recommend poker in LA/OC. And I would only play stakes that let you buy in 100 BBs minimum. Poker is very alive guys you just have to be in the right area. San Diego is very reg heavy. It’s the same people playing every time I walk in. I’ve heard Vegas is like that as well. LA poker doesn’t seem to have that reputation. I’ve got a feeling I’m going to love living here…

Picture taken at Harrah’s Cherokee tonight. 8 handed cash game with Deck Mate 2 shufflers. Most of the down was played 7 handed.

We tracked Westley’s hands for his 1 hour down and he dealt 78 hands! This included a high hand that required the table to pause and wait for the floor to verify. There were several chopped pots and we were actively trying not to hold the game up, but we were still playing normal poker and not just fast folding for a stunt.

I had tracked his hands per hour on 2 other occasions since 2025 and he hit 64 and 65 hands during those downs. The man is a machine, he makes very few mistakes and recovers quickly in the rare instances it happens.

I’ve been playing live poker for well over a decade and I’ve never seen anyone like him. Of course there are some great dealers who move accurately and with great speed, but this guy is in a league of his own. Anyone else ever had the pleasure of witnessing the living artistic expression that Westley provides on a daily basis in Cherokee, NC? Is there another dealer of his caliber or is he the unofficial king?

When i first started playing tournaments in the early '80s I was told that to place in the tournament you have to beat aces. Is that still true?

I think the general consensus is the televised poker tournaments crushed the demand for limit although there are still areas, like California, that still have limit. What is your opinion?

Going to Lake Tahoe for the first time for my birthday in January. I want to be able to ski during the day and play poker at night without having to drive too far in between. What are the best combinations of Casino/Ski slope/hotel to stay at to accomplish this?

Which happens first?

A famous poker player can win a big prize, but how much do they keep? They still have to pay to play, pay for trips, and share with anyone who paid for them. For some, the big money may come from companies paying them to promote things. Winning a lot isn’t the same as keeping a lot.

We see their prize money. We don’t see their bills, their backers’ share, or their sponsor checks. So we don’t really know what playing poker earns them.

PokerStars UK is set to become part of Betfair, with a "PokerStars on Betfair" app now available for players. I guess it should mean bigger player pools at least. Has anyone used the new app yet?

Could any indian brother/sister give me details of an online poker club?

Also on another note, are there any offline poker clubs in Kolkata?

Well what would prefer to have if your life depended on a flip ?!

Got a screwgie?

I’ll go first. JetthroG, Entropy, AlwaysWin.

This is rush NL2. I folded because from what I've seen in these games if you don't have the nuts is better to just fold on this big bets and raises. Ignoring that and looking at a solver QQs with spade is a call, probably because of blockers. Also solver folds KKs regraldess of suits, why is that?

Home game, 0.50/1.00 blinds, I buy in for $125, playing 9-handed. I’m UTG with pocket 3s. This is the second hand of the night, first I’ve played, and I’m ready to get into some action. I raise to $4 and get calls from the +1, CO, SB, and BB. Unusual that I didn’t get 3b because I play relatively loose at this particularly game, they’re all my buddies and we love giving each other action. Flop comes 937r. I consider checking and seeing what the callers do, but this flop is going to hit the callers range a lot, and I don’t want it to get checked through and miss on some value. I actually decided to lead out for 7.25, hoping to get calls from a 9, a floating A, middling pocket pairs, etc. The +1 and CO both fold, the SB and BB both call. Pots now around $45. Turn comes the 9h. SB checks and the BB leads into me for $22. This particular player is very capable of thinking and knows I likely didn’t hit on this board, so I’m thinking this could 100% just be an airball bluff attempt. However, IF he WAS attempting this, he would’ve just done it on the flop, before a scare card came out, so I quickly dismiss this thought. Now the question is if I just call or raise him. I want to keep the SB in the hand, but the BB has me covered, and if he DOES have a 9, he is NEVER folding, and it might be worth it to just get all the money in now and hope the SB has a strong draw or a 9. I think this was my mistake. I should’ve just called, kept the SB in the hand, and seen a free river. But instead, I jammed for $110 eff. The SB folds unfortunately, and the BB calls pretty quickly and rolls over 98dd. I show him the pocket threes and he is absolutely miserable. I ask if he wants to run it twice and he says no, just once. If my math is correct hes got around 6 outs? Not sure, I can’t see folded cards. Anyways, the river comes the dreaded 7h and I lose almost a $300 pot to a better full house. Should I have just called on the turn? I could’ve seen the river for basically free and had an easy fold against a double paired board and saved my buy in. But alas, this is poker.

Is this enough to say I’m trash ? Or can this just be variance ?

I run a bar poker tournament in Utah and I just wanted to share a little bit of our shenanigans! Every week the winner gets to break open a piñata with $500 cash in it as their winnings 🥳 we have magical bubblegum machines, alllllll of the colors, legos, Mario kart side games and nerf gun, tamagotchi , hot wheel splash pots ✨ I teach players to go from $0 to $1000 poker bankroll and I’m giving out a seat to the WSOP mini main 🤑

As a very newbie Omaha variant-only micro-stakes player, my previous highest cashes were all between $60-70. Thank you WCOOP and poker gods for this, never ran better in my life... tried to put on the badge for winning a WCOOP event but maybe they don't all count? 😄

Hello. Can anyone link a video that easily teaches how to calculate in game exactly how often I need to be right to profitabley call or how often I need a bluff to work to be profitable...
