Nice flush Rex!

I was doing really well (about 16th/200 or something) in the 9k on iPoker, and get involved in a HUGE pot which would put me in the top 3. I have AKcc, he has AQo

Flop is 66A
Turn 9
River!!!!
Q

This has been happening for WEEKS! It's driving me crazy :cry:

Pokerstars is going to be the best choice of poker client for most people. I'd certainly recomend it. Good support, lots of players and ease getting your money in and out. Hope that helps. :)

Also does anyone know if there's any bonus I can get when purchasing Hold Em Manager? Refer a Friend %, Bonus Membership to a training site etc?

Ah thanks very much! :D

Player is now on break
Returning in: 7 days

Played 4 games now (I know Sykes :fp: ). Got to the bubble with decent stacks. Lost with QQ vs 78 (pre), flop is 69T, then another table with KJ vs 78 (pre), flop amazingly is 69T again ( :lol: ), then another table with 99 vs 77 (pre), flop of KQ7.

I look forward to returning and stealing someone's run good :P

Right I'm not playing a very good MTT game at the moment and I've lost all my confidence in my push/fold range.

Has anyone got any vids/articles/books about pushing ranges in various stages of MTTs?

I'm not sure how anybody actually profits in the $22 sng's on Pokerstars. Every game I've played has been full of regs who play TAG and it seems the only consistent winner is the rake.

People have like an 8% ROI at those stakes.

I'm also in the top 10 of the 6max Ioker thingy.

Been railing for an hour or so. Right before when you beat QQ with AQ.

Anyone know of any good sources (videos, tutorials etc) that I could use to learn how to play ? Friends play poker all the time but I haven't a clue and may as well just give them my money.
