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, 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.

    Siggie was not talking about heads up play from the beginning. This is an actual 9 to 10 person table. She meant heads up after all the folds from the others.

        hey omni....
        im lookin to advance from online to live play tournaments.
        The only live tourny i've played was @ the Harrahs back in March. Out of a field of 1500 with 500 rebuys, i finished in the money, which isn't what i was hoping for, but i'll take it for my first live. (AA taken by KQ because of my own greed to not raise too much pre-flop on the button.)

        Where do you reconnmend me to get some low buy in live experience?
        Im from glendale like you, and im lookin @ the daily tournament schedules @ the local casinos, (hollywoodpark, commerce, bicycle club, etc.)

        Where should i go so i dont get raped but will still learn a lot playing at?
        Preferibly tuesdays and thursdays morning if possible =]

          Sorry for the late reply, I don't come on here much anymore, except for this thread or something with self interest. Anyway, you answered your own questions. You won't get raped anywhere you play since you are playing low buy-in. All the pros/rounders/grinders/daily players play the 300 dollar and up buy-ins. So you don't have to worry about getting killed and it is a low buy-in so if you lose it isn't a big deal anyway since it wasn't that much money to begin with. Honestly, if you play multi table tourneys online it is almost the same thing with only slight differences which I can explain if you need me to. You sound like a fairly knowledgable player so you'll do fine. Experience is practice and vice versa. All the casinos you mentioned have daily low buy in tournaments especially Tuesdays and Thursdays. Just go to the Bike or Commerce, or just call them and ask, you can even go to their web sites. If I have time I'll post the daily schedule here, gotta go for now.
