Poker’s as good now as any time post-BF. The good players are much better and anyone who wants to win has plenty of resources to become competent, but there aren’t many young aspiring pros and there are still tons of gambly fish at all stakes. I think that the expansion of sports betting is helping to bring gambling to the forefront of popular culture moreso than poker video content.
If you want to play online, Bovada and ACR are good if you use crypto.
I suspect it’s a combination of things-- the rise of streaming driving interest again, the events of the last few years (sites being able to use crypto, Sheldon Adelson dying) making online reasonably reliable in the States again, maybe the expansion of sports betting too as @WAR said, maybe the pandemic getting people back into the online game. I don’t know, and I’m just speculating, because it’s only been recently I’ve discovered that online is really alive and well in the States.
I haven’t had anything to do for a while and I missed playing tournaments so I decided to check out the Colorado Poker Championship last month. Broke even on the series but that included two final tables, an 8th place and a W. And while I was there I ran into an old buddy from the MTT days and started learning more about the online options in America. So I’ve been playing ACR for a couple of weeks now but I want to expand. Def want to get some money on Bovada/Ignition because ACR doesn’t have a whole lot in the way of cash games and I hear good things about those there.
I would suggest looking into PokerBros.
I play on ipad pro, 4 table limit ,45% rakeback.
Games are good .
Find a reputable agent in PB thread 2+2.
Hit me with any questions.
Read this post and was 100% sure you were either a spammer or a scammer. Then I looked at your post history and it seems like you’ve been around for a little bit with >150 posts.
Can I use this in the state of Washington?
What’s the story related to hand histories and being able to track results?
My agent told me it was available in all states.
It is meant to be played on mobile, but if you have a computer that is capable of running an emulator you can play on a pc.( and track results with hand converter and hem, i think)
This allows you to get around the 4 table limit of a phone/ipad as well.
App will track # hands , RIO and vpip if your playing on phone. Can also download hands, tbh i havnt really bothered with this so far.
Some unions such as Diamond union only allow mobile on some or all tables.
Check the rake @ your stakes/union, as some are uncapped.
Rake is mostly the same as online till you get to midstakes, so beware.
Agent claims softness at midstake makes up for it.
IDK i dont play those.
Only play cash so can’t say anything about tourney’s.
Two spots I think I keep fucking up in Omaha. Remember this is a very loose game with most pots being potted and calling 4 or 5 ways.
Assume we are deep stacked.
Scenario 1:
Flop is JQK and you have QQ no other draws.
Scenario 2:
On the turn in huge multiway pot and have to call almost all in but have maybe $300 behind in like $2.5k pot. You have something like nut flush draw two par and gutty. Do you ever just call or always put in the final $300 as small raise?
I think pretty much comes down to if they’re going to call you if you hit anyway you can just call
Well the first step I do in both scenarios is check the thread title and post accordingly.
lol oops. Not paying close enough attention.
So Rampage binked for 230k the $1,100 at the Venetian, with the same hand he won a wsop event?
This shit is SO a simulation.
Also tho, I dig it. He seems like a super nice guy and good for the game.
hellmuth heads up for a bracelet in a $1500 2-7 NLSD. Only 80ish runners, but the LVFD is on call in case things go south.
Wow, that seems way down, I think it got 250+ last time I punted a buyin in it.
yeah i’m an idiot. it had 272 runners. my bad
not sure why it’s not more popular. action goes pretty much like this:
all in
call
pat
pat
you win
gg
what’s not to like
Hellmuth literally defies the laws of math. He breaks my brain and faith in poker.
He is so terrible yet just wins. It makes zero sense.
This is just nuts.
If a bad player sunrunning like Hellmuth annoys you, Rampage will put you on tilt
What specific hands did he play bad in this tournament?
this hand and game seems made up
and hellmuth wins
he’s not the goat we need but he’s the goat we deserve
what a remarkably silly game 2-7 nlsd is
In what would be the final hand of the tournament, Phil Hellmuth shoved on the button and Jake Schwartz called off for his remaining chips.
Jake Schwartz drew one and Hellmuth took two.
Jake Schwartz:

Phil Hellmuth:They decided to let Hellmuth peel first. The first card was a
