In Response to A good trick to do in homegames :):
Most times i play home games i just go with a m8 and the rest of people i dont know I make out i am new to poker and a lil bit typsy :) So a cash game say 25p/50p blinds max pull up is £100 Im sat down with £30 player 1  folds player 2 next to utg player 3 calls player 4 calls player 5 which is me Before i go all in this is the crucial bit after i look at my cards i say to people i want to sit down with the maximum which is £100 they all say i cant which i already know this :) so i just say oh well ok i just shove player 6 folds the guy who originally raises thinks well he must have aces they other 2 who both call think well he must have the goods with that lil speech so they both fold then i turn over 2 7    is this a good play :)

    Hi IDCU

    This is just like a scam. Poker has a bad reputation with some people and this does nothing to dissuade them, imo. Why not just play others on a level playing field and let 'skill' shine through. Sorry but stinks, imo! Is this really what you need to do to win £20?
    Sorry m8 but this isn't the way to play poker. You don't need 'tricks'.

    bad etiquette right there ;-) I remember on the big game or w/e it's called when Tony G told Hellmuth that he hadn't looked at his cards, when he had and he saw AK, and he shoved, and phil called with a weaker A I think! kicked off!

    ^ This is terrible form, however... I've watched the video on youtube, and I can't help but to find it hilarious. They run it 3 times, when Tony G calls in Phil's Jack which in turn gives him the straight and then needles Phil again. Too funny!

    Phil takes it so well, just doesnt rise to it...

    Tony is just a nasty bully who, if he did that against the wrong person would get a good kicking!!!

    yeah but he obviously wouldn't do it against the wrong person. He did it cos it was vs Phil and it was on tv!

    All he acheives by this, apart from winning money, is making himself look like an absolute clown

    I know. I'm not justifying it, just saying the most likely reasons. Plus it does make for good tv really, even if everyone starts hating on G.

    I love watching tonyg and hellmuth go into their rants each other on tv makes for good viewing!  Im sure most of it is put on for the tv cameras what goes on between the 2 of them.
