Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

          OMNI!!!!
          No limit 1/2
          Super loose player heads up who's been busted bluffing many times at table already... A7 raised to 15, got raised to 20, flop comes A J 2. I bet 20, opponent goes all-in. I had like $50 in chips left and called. Bad call? Turned out he had J 2. Who raises with that? xxxxer. I guess I should have assumed he had a higher kicker.

          What do you think?

            I think it's one of those things that you played ok but caught bad luck (or the xxxxer got good luck). That's poker for ya ... after all the strategy, reading, faking, betting, etc etc, it still sometimes comes down to the cards
            this post = teh win.

                What do you think?
                Well number one, what were you doing raising 15 with A7. Also, are you saying he raised 5 more to 20 from 15 or he raised 20 more to 35, the latter sounds right because the 5 more raise wouldn't work. The pre flop was where the mistakes were. It really was a tough situation on the flop, that is why A7 especially not suited is a hand I would never play. Now if you played a good hand like AK or AQ ,then when the A came you wouldn't have had a problem calling, and even if he did have the 2 pair, it's ok you'll take care of players like that in the long run that play any 2 cards and re raise with J2, there is no way you could have put him on that. But A7 , if he was a tight player and re raised you pre flop and he went all in on you with the A on the flop after you bet 20 , well it would have been a tough call for the extra 50. Anyway , this isn't a big deal, you shouldn't even worry about this hand at all, just worry more on knowing what to do in ever situation, what cards to play when , and what to do when in terms of betting, checking, raising , or just limping with certain cards and then knowing exactly what to do on the flop and of course that depending a lot on who your opponent is.

                ....sorry for the run-ons, I have to go so I typed that as fast as I could , hope you get it.

                  James Woods could probably be a good contender if he keeps at it. He supposedly has an exceptionally high i.q. Around 180, I think. Speaking of James Woods, did you ever watch Videodrome, Siggie?

                    firstly.. with the a-7 comment..

                    omni, heads up, with a-7 i'de raise from either position...

                    If i was the BB and the loose player raises me, im coming right back at him with a raise..

                    of course there are exceptions.... chipstacks.. bet sizes.... but generally speaking... A-7 heads up.... ide raise with.... and if a loose player raised my BB, you HAVE to protect your BB.... that's just a given.

                    this is provided its actual heads up.. and not 6 ppl folding from the raise heads up...

                    but yeah.. hey omni... here's one for you.
                    what do you think this guy was holding?
                    both me and him were playing tight aggressive all tourny..

                    and then we have this hand..
