Yes I do play and I travel to vegas and AC about 8 times a year and play in many tournaments in the region so don't try and tell me about what is right and what is wrong when playing poker because there is no rule against playing any hand as long as you have the money to play.

Rotinaj;518177 wrote:Something like this is so ridiculous i would of been at a loss of words. First calling a $25 raise w J9 and then calling a $75 bet with bottom pair and bad kicker. Hell, she should have known her bottom 2 pair were beat when you went over the top all in for what about $550?

I wish I had the time or desire to argue the "luck" factor in poker but I gave that up after my last attempt. Let's just say the conversation ended with the guy telling me my pocket aces only had a 50% expected value pre-flop verses any hand he had because, "You either win with them, or you don't. That's 50/50." smh
