Alcohol not a factor asked:


“I’ve seen the miracles of God with my own eyes,” Yang said. “I did a lot of bluffing also.”
Yang said before the final table began that he would donate 10 percent of his winnings to charity.

What’s the craziest poker hand you have ever been involved in?

Abhaya P asked:


Just tell me everything you can remember about your craziest poker hand… bad beats, lucky cards, big pots, huge bluffs, just whatever…
Oh, and if it wasn’t real poker (for money) it doesn’t count. Playing just for fun doesn’t count because crazy things happen when there is no penalty for loss.
WTH? Wild man?
Gbaby story is funny, although not poker related, and the full house garbage story is great… any others?!

Jay C asked:


heres my dilemma… i play in no limit poker tournaments everyday and i can usually always get a massive amount of chips….but then my bad luck sets in and i suffer one horrible beat after another.

ive tried sitting out, playing super tight, bluffing and mixing it up but i always get knocked out. when the tournament has hundreds i can almost always place in the top 50, when the tournament has thousands i can almost always place in the top 200.

ive been playing at least two tournaments a day for over a year ….im 22 been playing since 17 and ive only won a few tourneys and never first place…

any tips?specific tips on how to play a large stack would be nice…perhaps a link to some poker pro tips….thanx.

blue_prince_of_dallas asked:


I was watching McCain and Obama on 60 Minutes last night. At one point Senator McCain was asked if he thought Sarah Palin is ready to be President. He said “Absolutely” while shaking his head No. I think that’s what they call a “tell” in poker. Do you think he was bluffing?

I Love neda hajizadeh my1 cousin asked:


its at least 60 skill and 40 luck if you take everything in account in a variaty of cases and given your opponents a random and many unknows and they play strangely, but anything lesser in skill is just rediculous otherwise really skilled player wouldnt dominates intermediate player on a long time bases actually the better you are and the more of the play happens post flop the skill factor even increases above my before mentioned 75 percent skill because a better might be able to bluff a weak player or make verry good laydowns with a huge positive expectation in live games its maybe even 95 percent skill if a pro plays an beginner and just a little less for playing a tight players you cant imagine it because you only know tv poker but verry often a pro can totally dominate a less skilled player in a way that totally negates any luck involved in the game so in a way its not gambling its like fighting sure everyone can kill each other but there a still people who beat up most liek poker

What would be analogous to “Bluffing in Poker”, when it comes to the financial/stock markets?

lowonbrain asked:


PLEASE READ:

Okay we all know much as in Poker, Knowledge, Mathematical Skills, Reading your environment/opponents, Psychological Skills and Control, Risk/Money Management, Constant Vigilance, Luck, etc., all play a crucial role in an overall winning stock market investment strategy as well. BUT I WAS WONDERING WHAT WOULD BE ANALOGOUS TO “BLUFFING IN POKER” WHEN IT COMES TO STOCK AND DERIVATIVES MARKETS. Or does the concept of bluffing even apply in this case? I am NOT talking about illegal stuff such as insider’s information, market fixing schemes, etc., BTW. …Thanks in advance.

lavengro59 asked:


Since they won’t bet on anything spiritual how does that carry over to gambling? When they bluff what goes through their mind? Do they beleive in “Lady Luck?”Who do they say (internally) “Please don’t let that player on the left catch the ace” too?
