Ted1983 replied Apr 23, 2010I am a big fan of France TBH. I think the French sense of nationhood still exists. Whereas GB is indeed a hollow shell of it's former self. The French intolerance of leftist, appeasment style politiking impresses me. I still want out of the EU ...

Ted1983 replied Apr 23, 2010Sorry man. I was just pissed that he accused me of being a fraud. I don't think a little poker ralated discussion here on FF is going to kill the game. It's already dead.

Ted1983 replied Apr 23, 2010I can't believe you read Phil Helmuth and his silly "animals" and think you are an expert. The answer to question 1 is, it depends. However floating isn't a move particularly applicable to LHE (which is what I play most) Question 2 doesn't make ...

Ted1983 replied Apr 23, 2010You've overlooked one simple thing. A penny lost spends just as well as a penny won. Just because you haven't closed out a floating position doesn't mean the money ain't real. WRT to number 3.Outright bluffing is a relatively minor aspect of poker.

Ted1983 replied Apr 23, 2010I actually got into poker through researching trading. I then realized I enjoyed poker and managed to beat the very low stakes. I've read a lot of books and am an on/off member of Deuces Cracked (their material is very informative). I think I could ...

Ted1983 replied Apr 23, 2010If you actually read the article he offers logical proof that EW is flawed. The very premise is complete nonsense in the first place, so I don't even see why anyone needs to offer a refutation. The article doesn't say technical analysis doesn't ...

Ted1983 replied Apr 23, 2010Who gives a crap about the WSOP, especially the main event? It's TV fodder. Jamie Gold won the "main event" in 2006 and noone would ever accuse him of being a poker player. Spot on about the available instuction though. Poker training sites are ...

Ted1983 replied Apr 23, 2010Yes we limit players are gluttons for punishment. The inability to make large bets makes the win rate much lower and consequently the variance relatively higher. When the betting is fixed you can't push a bigger hand harder, and you often can't ...

Ted1983 replied Apr 22, 2010The bolded parts are the most important aspects of tournament poker. The cards are secondary. I would go so far as to say that you could win low level tornaments without ever bluffing. Cash games are different as you might be playing against the ...

Ted1983 replied Apr 22, 2010I wish I could say the same.
I'll get there with trading one day.
Interestingly if you spend some time on poker forums you will hear one thing over and over again. "95% of players are losers". Sometimes I actually forget if I'm on Forex ...Poker vs Trading

Ted1983 replied Apr 22, 2010I didn't think you were saying the market was actually random. However I don't see how its possible to skew a radom distribution with money management techniques. Where you place a bet has no effect on the distribution. It's the fact that markets ...

Ted1983 replied Apr 22, 2010Some good points, apart from the first. Online poker is actually still legal in US. Its a question of which sites you're allowed to play. Pokerstars has virtually cornered the US market. The old giant Party poker took a massive hit as it lost its US ...

Ted1983 replied Apr 22, 2010WRT to point 1; A poker player in a tournament views the whole event as if it were a single trade, so to speak. Each hand might be analogous to trade management of a trending position. "All-ins" make good TV, but they are also some of the easiest ...
