Hongbit Posted July 5 Posted July 5 It’s been many years since I’ve been a regular poker player but heads up was always my favorite. Thr frenzied pace of play, larger range of playable hands, and constantly adjusting aggression or passiveness based on stack size. Quote
Deleterious Posted July 9 Posted July 9 He had said he wasn't playing the main event. Probably wishes he didn't now. They said one outer because someone folded another Q pre-flop. Quote

Deleterious Posted July 9 Posted July 9 Pretty sure he was entered in another tournament that was running at the same time. That is why he originally stated he wasn't playing the main event this year. He wanted to enter tournament he had better odds of winning. I was shocked to see him in the ME. Quote
Deleterious Posted July 13 Posted July 13 Calling off 7 BB's when he is 125 deep is what big stacks are supposed to do here. But what I loved was the, "I didn't insult anyone" line just after insulting everyone. I guess there were other incidents with him before this. He has been banned for the remainder of the 2025 WSOP, which is only going on another 3 days or so. Most feel that will be extended into the 2026 WSOP, and it should be. Quote
Deleterious Posted July 14 Posted July 14 Leo is the first woman at the final table in 30 years. Be cool to see her win, but probably pulling for Mizrachi. Cards are in the air on Tuesday. Quote

Deleterious Posted July 16 Posted July 16 Day 1 only lasted 5 hours. Mizrachi has been playing great mixed with some good fortune. His AK against KK and spiking the A on the river was some nice luck. He has 7 bracelets and a 5th place finish in the 2010 WSOP Main Event. I think he would probably be the biggest name to win it since Jesus in 2002. But when he won there were only like 600 entrants. This year there was just over 9,700. Quote
Deleterious Posted July 17 Posted July 17 A bit of a sun run, but he also played really well. A pro like him against amateurs plus running well, they had no shot. I think I heard today only took 56 minutes. HOF induction is a bit odd. They only allow one nominee per year, but they made an exception for him. He deserves it. Quote
Deleterious Posted July 20 Posted July 20 Rumors that Mizrachi only had 20% of himself in the main event. Sad if true. Quote
Hongbit Posted 22 hours ago Posted 22 hours ago As football season begins, a quick reminder that these big online books are shady AF. They do some very sheisty stuff with lines and odds. FanDuel is definitely the worst. DraftKings isn’t much better. Fanatics has a great policy on voiding bets for injury but their odds are some of the worst. MGM has very limited markets and an ancient app. Quote

As with every book, they can change odds based on whatever they choose and that’s fine. The payout should be standard and shouldn’t change based on a player or team. A parlay of +400 and +400 should pay a standard +2500. Even if it they tweak it and want to lower it to f you, every parlay of the exact same odds should pay the same. Neither of these are true at FD. They use some unknown method to determine parlay payouts and it changes depending on the player. Have had some very weird situations where a +500/+400 parlay paid less than a +500/+350 They are also the only book that won’t void a no start in baseball. Every other book needs a batter to be in the starting lineup to play. FD does not and will keep the bet live even if a player pinch hits later and only gets one AB. You bet with the expectation of 3 or 4 AB rather than just 1. They stick you with a 1 AB play and with odds that are set like they were starting. If you live bet the 1 AB, your odds would be much better. You don’t get those odds. The most dastardly thing they do thought is they won’t let you cash the bet out and take your money back before the game starts. You have a parlay where all the legs haven’t started, they won’t let you void it once it’s been announced your player isn’t starting. They are the only book that operates this way.
