Well I finally made the top 3!!! Al wiped me out but that was fun guys and gals!

Considering I haven't played in over 6 months I am proud of myself.

Good game all and great thinking!!!

Well, I'll tell ya what, Team -- I couldn't be prouder of the team!

Very, very few little mistakes by very, very few players -- and none by the experienced players!

Must admit the cards were falling kind of weird tonight, but you know all about that.....the law of averages says that it will reverse itself next time you play!

So great game and way to go Poker Crushers!

OMG...after reading all the posts about the choices we all made w/an abundance of pocket 2's

I am still rofllllllllllllllllllllll, so I just had to say"I also lost w/'em" Down to $300-w/Mojo's raises..

Saw that 2 flop up right before River & went ALL-In for a F/H 222/66 & Mojo had 888/66!! LOL

That is exactly what I meant, OJ.

Those couples and sets of deuces seemed to be the featured Special of the Day!

What can we say except "It happens sometimes!"

We can say that about so many things in Poker. Part of what makes it so fascinating!

For what it's worth I don't like playing dueces myself unless i can get a free or really cheap flop. Odds of getting your set somewhere on the community are only 1 in 4 to 5 times, otherwise the best you can hope for is a race with overcards. If I fold em and do see a deuce I do what I do for any missed opportunity folded....Don't play "woulda, shoulda, coulda poker". Just make the best decision at the time of play and be happy with that. Just my 2 cents worth, and with the Canadians winning all the money, that's about all I have right now....LMAO.

I agree fully with you AL as I fold my 2s also and then when Dale sees a 2 on the flop its the shoulda but like I say I have lost way more with 2s then I have won.I usually always fold small pockets. Very Happy

Good thinking (or remembering), Al and Char. I don't know if you recall, but that is what I have taught, so of course, I am in full agreement.

It surprises a lot of people to know that I rarely play any card lower than 8, no matter what card it is with in the hole. It has paid off bigtime over time!

**Marked, Noted & Saved** GOAL:Play folding ALL low pairs + refresher on play few/win more!

OJ, that post has impressed me!

The WILLINGNESS to learn, especially from your mistakes and the successes of others, is one of the main ingredients in the making of a champion!

I checked at Poker Nordica but don't see it listed. (This is from the one on the 6th) Since I was top 3 I wanted to get in early to sign up so I don't miss it.

With their new software maybe I was looking in the wrong place LOL Wouldn't be the first time!
