nice one!! cheers guys. one last question - if I'm planning on going nxt september does it make much difference when I book? Is now a good time or will it get cheaper after xmas?

once again, thanks.

nice one. i was looking on the wrong virgin site. im planning on going sept time so a bit early for me

do u have link?

I’ve never been to Vegas and I’m thinking of booking a holiday for next year. Any tips on making it as cheap as possible? Which hotels do you recommend and any tips on booking it? Package or separate etc. 

pretty much.

An Arsenal would simply be the best of the best.

I think it was a hand of two halves.

i have used it once since in a festival at bpool , the affect it caused was to make the oponent go allin before my chips hit the line............that was diiferent situation but it had the same affect.........didnt feel as good as the other situation  but had the same result.......

That is angle shooting. You are forcing someone into making a mistake rather than getting a read from them.

There is nothing classy about that move.

I have seen some people push their stacks towards the line as if to bet but then stop just before the line. Some tables dont have lines. If the player shouts call as the stack is being pushed what happens? I see this happen quite often. I don't think you'd usually get a read from a decent player by doing this. No offence, but I think it's a bit of a cheap shot at getting a read. It's kinda like saying "I'm going to raise................. my hand." to get a read on someone.

Thanks - but why would you deem that "a cheap shot". I'm not arguing, just curious,. I wish to play my poker entirely within the spirit of the game, not just the Rules, of the game, & this interests me greatly.

hmmm.... sorry, cheap shot is the wrong term to use. I just think that if it's an instant call for the other person you could trick him into saying call a bit too early. Also, I've seen this tactic used to make people fold out of turn.

It's like comparing a door-to-door sales man living at home with his parents to one who has bills to pay.

Thats the same for any proffesion tho

I would say a professional poker play is someone who relies on poker for a percentage of their income and the other percentage comes from poker related sources. E.g. sponsorship, tv commentary, books, magazines, etc. If playing poker was taken out of the equation they would need to find another job to compensate. Similar to pro golfers. a lot work for clubs and give lessons etc.

Semi pro – someone who relies on poker for a percentage of their wage and the other percentage comes from non poker sources.

Amateur – some who plays poker but doesn’t rely on it at all.

I don’t think there is a proper definition but that’s how I look at it.

As we start to eat our daughter .....

Serves you right for trying to eat your daughters!!
