that's actually from Season 1 of the show. It aired a long time ago, so you don't need to warn people about any potential spoiling. we're awaiting season 3 now, everything you see on tv has already aired.

I've become apprehensive in the past, but if someone wants to get it all-in pre-flop and I hold aces, I'm not going to discourage their action.

I had AA cracked by AKo three times in a single day once. That's 93 to 7 pre-flop.

Got the money in pre-flop everytime.

That's gross, but if you won't play AA, and just learn to accept it, when it loses, then you shouldn't play poker.

I was waiting for that. If I didn't want to gamble, I wouldn't be gambling.

I would never, ever, EVER do this. Giving up way too much EV. A lot. Like tons. I'm cereal.

It's not so much, "If you don't feel like gambling..." it's, "If you can't afford to lose a stack, you are playing too high."

This is very true. If you can't handle losing whats on the table you are playing above you bankroll. I am a bit perplexed as to how you can hold the best possible starting hand and not want action

Um, if I have AA I am begging him to call. Why would you not want someone to gamble against your aces? What hand would you like to have before you want someone to go all in with you before the flop?

I know how to play texas hold'em and communicate in written English. Perhaps I don't know how to play "pokah".

Just going on what my PVR said "Original Airdate 10/16/2006". I had no idea, thanks.

You admit to apprehension, but don't understand mine? I have an alternative strategy that makes poker more fun for me that you don't agree with, so I shouldn't play? You should be more polite.

Interesting point.
