Okay -- I have a confession to make. I declined to play the ol' deuce-four in a hand you were in last night. Do you remember the hand where you raised preflop with 8-8 and had a couple of callers? You then hit an 8 the flop, I believe, and won the hand with a set of 8's. If I had played the mighty deuce-four, I would have rivered the flush and felted you.
I figured your comments section was the closest thing we have to a confessional. I hope I am forgiven.
Tony, you need to learn that NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT YOU.
You look at a picture which shows your friend the Grump flopping quads with HIS FAVORITE HAND—which he writes about all the time on his blog—an all you see is yourself?!?!
If you want to have a meaningful life, you MUST learn to think about what is important to other people, especially the ones who you consider to be friends. You must learn to look beyond yourself.
It's a little hard to say this, because I'm not used to it yet, but I suppose that I'm a professional poker player. I moved to Vegas intending to get a job as a poker dealer, but while waiting to get hired, I spent the days playing poker instead of dealing it, and soon found that I was able to keep the bills paid. So I've just kept on doing it. I play Hold'em exclusively, usually no-limit, and most commonly $1-2 or $1-3, with occasional forays into $2-5 territory. I play tournaments on-line once in a while, but for some reason that I haven't entirely figured out, I'm much more successful playing at casinos than on the Internet, and much better at cash games than tournaments.

Did you raise pre-flop or slow play?
I had REraised pre. So yay me!
Re-raising builds a bigger pot, but sometimes I just call preflop. No use giving away the strength of my hand.
