Love hands that turn out like that. The problem is at first I was putting on a big pair, maybe even QQ. So I checked. Then the turn showed up as A and I jumped! so I put out a small bet. At the river, I didn't know if it was to extract another samll bet or try to force him into a decision for all his chips. I didn't expect him to call him and he didn't. Still got a nice little pot though... ]]> Hand Histories etienne284 http://www.texasholdemforums.com/hand-histories/24247-how-extract-more-value-form.html Deuce to Seven Lowball (Single Draw) http://www.texasholdemforums.com/other-poker-games/24246-deuce-seven-lowball-single-draw.html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 12:54:47 GMT *Deuce to Seven Lowball (Single Draw) * Lowball is a form of draw poker. It’s been played in card rooms across the world for years, and has become more popular in recent years, as people look to explore games other than Hold’em. Lowball games reward the best low hand, making it the opposite of games likes Hold’em and Stud, in which the highest hand wins. PokerStars offers the variant of Lowball known as Deuce to Seven Lowball (Single Draw), also sometimes referred to as Kansas City Lowball. *How to Play* *Blinds* Lowball is played using forced bets known as blinds, with the player sitting to the left of the dealer button posting a small blind, and the player to their left posting the big blind. The small blind is usually equal to half the size of the big blind. Lowball is also often played with an ante, which is a small forced bet posted by each player in addition to the blinds. *The Deal* Each player is dealt five cards face down. There is then a round of betting, where you have the option to either call, raise or fold. Players still left in the hand after the first round of betting now have the opportunity to draw. This means you can try and improve your hand by discarding some of the cards, and being dealt new ones to replace them. Click the cards you want to discard, and then hit the ‘Discard’ button. You can discard all five cards if you wish. If you feel that you already have a strong hand, you can opt to ‘Stand Pat’. This means that you are choosing not to discard any of your cards. When the draw is complete, another round of betting ensues, with players having the option to bet or fold. If no bets are made, players also have the option to check. If more than one player is still left in the hand at this point, a showdown takes place, with the player holding the best hand taking the pot. *In 2-7, straights and flushes count against your low hand, and aces are always high.* So the best possible hand is: 7, 5, 4, 3, 2.

For instance, if one player has 9-6-5-2-3, this hand beats 10-9-6-2-3. In practice aces are always high and are therefore not good. This means that a player holding J-9-7-3-2 beats an opponent with A-9-7-3-2. The best possible hand is 7-5-4-3-2 of different suits. This is because the hand is low, has no ace and is not a straight or a flush. It’s for this reason that the game is called 2-7 Lowball. In draw games, it is possible for more cards to be needed than are remaining in the deck. In this case, the cards are reshuffled, and play continues using the new deck.

I've played thousands of hands live, and never have I seen the hundreds of beats that this site gives off EVERY DAY. Not just once or twice a day at my table. Tell me the justification why someone would even think to play 6 3 off suit and then go all in pairing his three with A K on the board yet he catches his third three almost guaranteed.

And another:

Ok, I have seen the talk about online poker being a scam and I think that Poker Stars is a big member of the scam club! I have never seen so many people going into a pot with the weakest of hands and they end up winning. It’s almost as if they have a crack to the system, or the algorithm is designed to benefit the crazy gambles! Maybe that is how they bring you back in to play. What a joke!

And another:

PokerStars is a complete joke. The hands are not delt randomly, but rather strategically. I usually play other poker rooms because I realized this long ago. Today, I think I proved it. After a long absense, I started playing PokerStars again about 2 days ago. I play big tournaments with 45 players. The first 3 tournaments, I was winning 2 or 3 showdowns in the entire tournament and rarely getting a pair, never mind a set, straight or flush. I'd usually finish in the top two tables, sometimes the last table. Today, I was on the last table and had to leave. I decided to go all-in every hand and hope I can eliminate a couple players before I go broke. I won about 19 of the next 20 hands and the tournament. It seems, if you play completely stupid poker, you will get the cards in PokerStars.

And another:

Don't you feel safe, knowing that your pennies are being protected from the big, bad, high limit players?

Hello Todd,

It has come to my attention that you have received a $0.01 transfer
from 'HoldumGod' that was not authorized by them.

Can you please explain your relation to 'HoldumGod' and let me know the
circumstances behind the transer you received from them?

Due to the security risk involved in this matter, your account has been
deactivated until this situation has been resolved.

We look forward to your reply.

Best Regards,

To: Pokerstars Security

Please tell me this is a joke.

I have no idea who "HoldumGod" is. I can't control who transfers me money.

Now, you're honestly telling me that you're suspending my account because I RECEIVED an "unauthorized" transfer of a penny?

I've been a regular player on this site since early 2003, and am a WSOP Bracelet winner.

I find your actions of suspending me because of a matter beyond my control (and over a penny, nonetheless) to be insulting and unprofessional.

I expect you to immediately reactivate my account. Save the account suspensions for transfers that actually have consequence.

If you cannot unsuspend me immediately, I expect this matter to be forwarded to a manager for immediate review.

-Todd Witteles aka "Dan Druff"

If Stars is so concerned about a penny, do you really think they are not trying to grab on to your buck any way they can!!

Got the weapons cracked 3 times allin pots on the flop or pre way ahead all over 300$ and my favorite hand of the night went something like this. Had 88, utg raises to 20, 5 callers and I call on the button. Flop 834 rainbow, it's checked to the player to the right of me he bets 80$ I push allin for 300$, utg calls allin, the fish to the right of him calls allin, and the player to the right of me calls allin. Utg shows 99, fish to the right of him shows 56 off, player to the right of me shows 1010, mainpot is now at around 600$ and sidepot is around 350$, turn 2 river ten, lol. ]]> Hand Histories gimmemymoneyback http://www.texasholdemforums.com/hand-histories/24239-score-1-fish.html this is how you improve your stack http://www.texasholdemforums.com/hand-histories/24237-how-you-improve-your-stack.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:50:46 GMT PokerStars Game #35612257787: Tournament #213406498, $4.00+$0.40 USD Hold'em No Limit - Level XII (150/300) - 2009/11/20 12:46:44 ET
