I would like to play poker at Dusk Till Dawn because It allows me to play poker in an environment of my choosing. Currently I may only play in a traditional casino, where the temptation to play the recognised house games is not to my liking. I would still like to reserve my right to choice, but I believe a dedicated and professional poker room such as the dtd club will be a more suitable venue for poker.

No.

What an absolute superb post. Well written informative and knowledgeable. My first encounter of Mr Fox was in St Kitts in late 2005. He used to drink a bit at the table on occasion which affected his play at times imo, nevertheless he had a consumate confidence in his game even then.

Great TV. We've all faced the frustrations poker can produce when a number of things go against us, not sure it painted DevilFish in a good light though.

many thanks for your replies

It's a re-buy comp at my local cardroom. 7 seater table. 20 minutes to the end of re-buys. I have 5500 chips, blinds at 50/100 - re-buy amount is 1000 at 500 or less.

The general standard of play is loose and awful. UTG raises to 400, a very good player, one of only a few in the room who knows his onions. Passed round to me in the small blind, I have QQ. I reraise to 1500. UTG looks at me warily. The big blind an inconsisent player goes all-in for 5000. UTG thinks briefly and himself goes all in for 5500. My gut reaction is the UTG player senses I made a move on him and sees value in this move to make me pass. He is however a very good and studious player and could well have an overpair. after a long thought I can have 2000 at the end of rebuys (I have not yet had to rebuy) or go for a big pot, its 4000 to me to win 16500. I am very confident I am beating the BB player.

Anyway I call. BB had JJ and the UTG player did have KK. I luckily spike a Q however, win a big pot and go on to win the tournament. Was the long-term move to fold the Q's and resume with 4000 chips?

I'd welcome everyone views.

Did anyone watch it? Quite unbelievable TV.....not sure if it was very funny, very bad....or very sad.

Fantastic bandit well done.

For me the star was Scott Baker. having qualfied through a £5 rebuy satellite, the guy (who also quuaified for the Walsall GP) made some great calls and lay downs during the event.

Emphasising that ther are dozens of players with abillity, just bubbling under, but for a vareity of reasons lacking the required bankroll to commit to play the circuit.

Also with regard to this tournament. Blonde's own 'TightEnd' Richard Prew passed QQ when the bubble was imminent..... discuss Tighty.....

Black Knight (John Cleese): "Just a flesh wound..." in Monty Python and the Holy Grail

[‘You’re gonna need a bigger boat.]

It’s a little known fact but many of Hollywood’s greatest movie quotes originated in Poker rooms across Europe & the world. Here are some famous conversations and statements that were overheard and plagiarised in screenplays in some of the most popular movies ever made and where they first originated:

‘You’re gonna need a bigger boat.’ As said by Tony G to Surinder Sunar during their heads up battle in the 2004 WPT event in Paris. Tony turned over a full house, Aces over Kings to defeat Surinder’s Kings full. The line was later used by Steven Spielberg in his epic film Jaws.

‘He’s not the Messiah; he’s a very naughty boy’ Phil Ivey’s mum following  press intrusion after Phil arrived two days late home following his Monte Carlo Millions win. Copied by Monty Python and used in the Life of Brian

‘I’ll be back!’ Dan Harrington after his exit from the final table of the 2003 WSOP. Lo and behold he was, and made the final table in 2004. This inspired Arnold Schwarzenegger to use the line in his movie The Terminator.

‘Here’s Johnny!’ Johnny Chan announcing his arrival at the final of the 1988 WSOP.
Overheard by Jack Nicholson and used in his film The Shining.

Following his bracelet win at the 2005 WSOP Brian 'the Rookie' Wilson announced to the table ‘It’s been emotional.’ Inspiring Vinnie Jones to use the line in the film Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

‘Toto, I’ve got a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.’ Phil Hellmuth to Toto Leonidas during their famous altercation during the 2003 US Poker Championships. Copied by Judy Garland during the opening scene in the Wizard of Oz.

‘You gotta ask yourself…Do ya feel lucky? Well do ya…Punk!’ Tony G again, to an opponent on the way to winning last years European Poker Championships at the Vic. Clint Eastwood was on the rail and used the quote in his movie Dirty Harry.

‘Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.’ Phil Hellmuth accepting a particular bad beat at last years WSOP. Clark gable was impressed enough to include the line in the epic Gone with the Wind.

And finally – Julian Thew and Tony Kendall were discussing a particular play at last years Master Classics of Poker in Amsterdam. Jules uttered; there’s a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you." Tony just smiled thinking to himself Julian had overplayed his Pocket Tens, meanwhile Samuel L Jackson, playing on the next table remembered the quote and used to great notoriety in his movie Pulp Fiction.

Anyone know anymore
