Answer 1:

I know that at this time, Poker chips online is long on orders and short on help…they are just a little behind.  Keep trying, i think you’ll find they give excellent value and service for your money. I just put in another order last week and the lead time will be 4 to 6 weeks. It’s not just an automated process with them…there are many hand operations used to make the chips with edge spots and inserts that you want. In all dealings I’ve had with them, I have been more than satisfied.

Answer 2:

Try http://www.casinocom.com They have some really nice 8-gram and 10-gram clay chips, that are customizable. I ordered about 500 of them in different denominations, and I’m very happy with how they turned out.

Answer 3:

I would recommend (pokerchips.com) Jim Blanchard is very nice and they are located inMaine.  I just bought a 1000 and they are beautiful. I had no trouble getting through 1-888-797-2200 mention my name Paul Feeney, it may help. I got my order in 4 weeks.

Answer 1:

Either use $4 chips in the Bellagio 8-16 game or make it 9-18 and use $3 chips.

Answer 2:

I would have had a major problem with this ruling had I been that player. If the player on the button has paid his blinds that should entitle him to a complete orbit , which would include being the button. Why force him to give up the button when the new player can’t get a hand in that seat anyway? Another bad ruling by a floor that doesn’t understand the game and obviously doesn’t care to learn. Or perhaps an attempt by the floor to stop the button player from moving, in order to get the new player a hand right away. Either way it’s bad for the game and for the room.

Answer 3:

I have finally become adept at reading / interpreting one of the most brilliant men in the world, Alan Greenspan.  I’m working on Nostradamus’ quatrains, Philips, and Razzo currently. I think Razz means I’m dealt the 2c in a $1-$5 stud game and bring it in for $1.  Four players call and three fold.  The dealer looks at me and says, “Option, Sir.” I can tap the table or raise from $1 to $5.  If so, although it may swing the scales toward the low card too much, it would liven up the worst game to play in Vegas … $1-$5 stud with strip rakes.

Answer 1:

6c 6s 8s vs. Ac Kc 3h The little pair may be a little better than the previous test of As-Ks-4s

1.20-to-1 against  (knock them out?)

Qc-Qd-7h     54.6% favorite because of the AK 2-flush makes less flushes than the AK 3-flush, but on the other hand, the Ac  Kc 3h could hit some pairs 77 through JJ that would make up for that, too.

Answer 2:

Three unrelated over cards are an underdog to even the worst pair. So it’s safe to call an almost certain steal with even weak pairs, and when stealing it helps to have any additional strength – a 2-flush, 2-straight, etc. – the extra few percent makes a big difference. The AJ8 does have the “playing” advantage in that its improvements will more often be hidden. The deuces may win some showdown hands unimproved, but it’s highly unlikely that they would win actual hands unimproved against an aggressive player (unless they were also calling too frequently in many situations where they were beaten). Trash hands do terribly in this game, heads-up or multiway. In a late tournament situation in holdem, you often have odds to call with “any two cards.” There are few such situations in stud, especially in multiway pots. If you were down to your last chips, you might be better off saving them for next hand’s ante rather than calling a raise from likely kings when you have nothing. 7CSFAP says that if there are players left to act, re-raise the queens and get the pot heads-up. But if a lot of players will call a raise but not a re-raise with weaker draws, you might instead want them in. Being heads-up might be preferable if your over cards were hidden, if the ante was very high, or if you are against a passive player who might stop betting if he doesn’t
improve.

Answer 3:

6c-6s-8s     64.9% favorite
Ac-Kc-3h     1.85-to-1 against

As I think you suspected, your A-K-3 “2-flush” does even worse than Iceman’s original A-K-4 “3-flush,” mainly because it’s still a similar two ‘over cards and one ‘undercard’ against the opposing pair hand — and also, you made your 6-6-8 pair hand a ’2-flush’ too, compared to Iceman’s ‘rainbow’ Q-Q-7…OK?!

Answer 1:

You’ve destroyed your pot odds. You have a drawing hand and you raised with an over card on board. You got caught speeding. Was your door card the
king?  If so, you are facing trip aces or a really stupid player. Your raise on the deal would indicate a pair or a semi-bluff move, but pairing your door card would raise eyebrows. The fact that you got raised on the fourth card indicates that the ace is not scared of trip kings or that player knows you very well.

Answer 2:

i rarely participate in strategy discussions. However, i believe that the issues here are rather clear. The original poster does not specify the level of the game, or the structure. Without this information, any advice on tactics must be taken with the appropriate amount of salt. nevertheless, unless this game was at the very highest of levels with the associated highest of antes (in which case the poster wouldn’t be asking for advice), i agree that it was an error for the king-flush draw to raise on 3rd street where there was an ace yet to act. It was probably another error to call the re-raise from the ace. then, having paired the door card king, and getting raised (again!) from the ace, you have no choice but to conclude that you are up against a minimum of
aces up (note: there is a small possibility that the player with the ace started with pocket kings. but even in this case, you’re *still* in second place)..

Answer 3:

If the rages area completely live and the Ace is a maniac I might call. Otherwise I would fold.  But with an Ace out onThird StreetI don’t think I would raise. If I was playing against a really good tight player though I might have re-raised him on fourth with the hope that he would lay down his pair of aces fearing trip Kings.  But I would have to know his play very well to try this move.

Answer 1:

Paradise Poker just gave us a nice upgrade – 4 color deck option and stop animation and stop sounds.  I am not a fan of 4-color decks but if others like it, it is reasonable that they should have an option to select it. Animation (i.e., the money in the pot that swoops over to the other player who stayed in with low pair on the flop against your AA and hit trips on the river) can now be disabled.  No more swooping – just plopping. But WHERE IS THE REAL UPGRADE?  Where are higher limits in HE at Paradise?  I asked this to supp…@paradisepoker.com and they said that MANY players have requested this and it is a top priority. But apparently, disabling animation is a higher priority. Is Mike Caro pleading with them to wait on this in fear of losing more players from Planet toParadise? It is not unreasonable to assume that he has some influence in their operation as nowParadise players can choose 4-color decks, which Mike greatly supports. Is there a relation betweenParadise and Planet, either financial or with the powers at large?  Planet just started 15-30 and has 20- 40…other less popular internet poker sites have big games (with no players)…yetParadise, now clearly the most popular internet poker site, does not have 15-30 or 20-40 or more boldly 30-60.  Why?

Answer 2:

Just for the record, Planet Poker is experiencing all-time record highs in patronage, with a new record being set almost every day. This is happening without props, shills, free games, or the ability to play in more than one game at once. We are considering letting players be in multiple games, so long as they don’t slow the action and we will definitely add free games (which is a great feature at Paradise Poker). We believe these two changes would approximately double the player count at any given time. Your comments are good ones, but I’m correcting the record about loss of customers. The opposite has happened.

Answer 3:

I’ve been having a ball playing at both Planet Poker and Paradise Poker for about a month. Upgrades I’d like to see: If I’ve just folded my cards, & I go to check my email in a different window while the hand plays out, & the hand finishes quickly while I’m away & it’s my turn to act again… I’d *like* for the Planet Poker window to automatically open so I don’t time out. Paradisewill do this, but Planet (at least in the stud games I’ve been playing) doesn’t. When entering a stud game, I’d like to be able to buy in for *less* than my entire bankroll. I tried repeatedly to figure out how to do this at Planet, but eventually gave up. If there’s a way to do this, it’s not user-friendly. And of course a better “waiting list” system would be a big help. If I
see that there’s a full 4-8 Stud game with 5 people on the waiting list, is there any way for me to let them know that if they’d start a new game I’m in? And making it easier to play or watch one game, and without closing that window browse for open seats in other games (in “the lobby”), would help start games more efficiently, I think.

(1) said game is unbeatable in the long run; and

(2) one should not start playing at a higher limit until one is
regularly and consistently beating the game. Any opinions?

Answer 1:

An interesting conundrum. Obviously, both can’t be right. I agree that 3-6 holdem with a $3 button collection is too hard to beat in the long run. How about approaching it this way: When YOU feel confident that you are better than the majority of 3-6 players at HPC, AND you have a sufficient bankroll, move up to 6-12. Same $3 on the button, same wild action, just a smaller impact from the rake. When you feel you’ve got this level beat, move up to 10-20, there and above you’ll pay a time collection which will cost you much less than the button fees at the lower levels.

Answer 2:

3/6 with a button charge, is *hard* to beat for significant earn. More importantly the kind of game you’ll have to play is very different from the game you’re going to have to play to win at 10/20. On the other hand you *should* be able to survive at the game without much of a problem. If you can’t at least survive at this game then you might not be prepared to move up. My advice is the following: track every expenditure at the game, in particular track your button charges, your tips (to the servers as well) as well as how much you win or lose.  If after 100 hours or so, you are a winning player *before* you factor in the cost of the game, then by all means move up. In concrete terms, if you are averaging a loss of $4/hr, but it’s costing you $15/hr. to play the game, then you should move up. You are really beating the game for $11/hr., but the rake/tip level is eating too much into your game.  At 6/12, you’ll *make* $6/hr. all other things equal. Of course all other things aren’t equal, and it might take a bit to adjust to the fact that there aren’t as many total maniacs at 6/12, but you should start to at least lose less per hour.

Answer 3:

I’m not sure this is actually true although you are swimming upstream against a pretty strong current. Twiddle with the definition of “beating”. Keep track of how much you pay in drop and see if you are beating the game minus the house take. Once you can beat the modified game then move up. I think this is a reasonable test that you’ve learned some basic skills. Additionally you shouldn’t spend the amount of time it’ll take you to beat down your variance in 3-6 to decide to move up so your estimates of win rate will be off.  In effect you are taking a shot at 6-12 no matter how you do it.

Answer 1:

(Fairly) Bad beat, nothing else. You outplayed him, but he outdrew you. Never stop re-raising with the nuts. And no, putting all those bets in heads-up with a flush draw is not the correct play. It would be the correct play if there were a couple of cold callers hanging in there, but definitely not heads-up.

Answer 2:

Well, that’s not entirely sound advice. Although I agree that the hand was played correctly, given that this was a loose-aggressive opponent liable to be raising and re-raising with a draw, there is one hand he could have held against which our hero would have been in trouble. That hand is 3-4 of clubs. If he had re-raised the flop another time I would have been a little worried. I might have just called at that point. But if I had decided to raise again, and I was re-raised back yet another time…I definitely would have called then, knowing the best I could do was split. To restate Terrence’s point: Never stop re-raising with the nuts, all the redraws, and heads-up against an opponent you know will call– unless you think you can get more bets from him later by just calling. I guess there isn’t a simple rule to follow.

Answer 3:

Just to nitpick, his opponent could have the 3c4c or the 34 suited to the other card on the board as opposed to just being out of line, which he was. Free rolls are bad.  I would stop at 6-8 bets on the flop unless I had a club. Of course, if you still have the nuts on the river, keep re-raising.

Answer 1:

Yep, you got the picture. You can send them a check or a bank wire and there’s no fee for the deposit. What I do is play elsewhere. Paradise Poker refunds the credit card fee back to you if you play enough hands. Delta doesn’t sock you with it in the first place. These places are surely paying a higher-than-usual discount rate because of the nature of their business. As their volume increases and their longevity as well, they will probably be able to negotiate a lower rate. Perhaps they’ll pass that along, perhaps not. Competition will tell the tale.

Answer 2:

Yeah, I bought in for $200 by credit card, so the vig was $12. Meaning it took 300 hands of play to nullify that $12 charge. Since I really enjoy the play, it was no hardship at all to play 300 hands, so the credit card charge is a non-issue for me.

Answer 3:

The amount charged to your card doesn’t show up as a cash advance on your credit card, it shows up as a purchase. Consequently, you aren’t paying a cash advance to the credit card company, but are paying it up front to the company thatParadiseuses to process its credit card accounts. That’s the way I understand it.
