fxskater said:Doh, someone got me started on poker, i'll stop here. If anyone wants to know about pot odds though, i love the conversation.
fxskater said:Okay i gotta say it. pot-odds is basicly the odds of winning your hand vs the amount being bet, vs the size of the pot. To explain this, I'll give you an example.
Lets say you hold QJ, and 984 (various suits) comes up. Someone in front of you bets $50 and the pot size is roughly $200. Your chances of winning in the next 2 cards is around 5 to 1. (4 outs for the straight, 6 outs for top pair. 10 outs 52 cards 1:5 odds) The pot offer's a 4 to 1 reward, so although you have a decent hand, the Pot-Odds tell you to fold.
Of course, there is more to it than just that as the pot odds change with each bet and card.
Hope you guys can make an understanding on this. Its hard to explain exactly how it works on paper.
I know this is a pool forum, sorry about the rant, but i couldn't help myself.
The Right People are reading about this and you will hear from him i gaurentee it! spade lil jon spades. it all will come back to you in time.liljon said:Believe me I'm not about to let this go something has got to give and I've been calling Tony for 1 and half days and no answer.I guess if he is going to continue playing pool it will be up north b/c there are some serious people down south upset over this whole deal...... I really like Tony and we got along fine the whole time I was there but this is beyond friends. If he wasnt involved he knows who was involved and we just got word 20 minutes ago that he is at Foxwoods playing 40/80. How can a guy that was broke two days ago play 40/80 today????? The more I think about it it makes me wanna puke and I'm gonna keep typing to stay calm!!! LJOHN

fxskater said:This is pretty basic poker stuff and i hope anyone that wants to play poker with me knows this stuff at least a little bit. I'm not looking to rob anyone, I'm looking for some decent skilled players to play against, I would gladly lose the $20-$50 if it kept me entertained for a little while.

hemicudas said:Here is the problem, as I see it. Not having been there but from what I understand, I believe the money was never under the table. Assuming, LJ's, friends were there and watching, the only time a switch could have been made was at the time the cash, was/was not, put under the table.
Lil Jon,,,,,,,,this is important, who put the money under the table?

Josh Palmer said:It amazes me at how some people choose to manage their pool playing career... I don't care how good you play pool- if you can't see past your greedy thieving hands, and dump/steal/lie to people- you are a piece of shit in my book, and you got no respect from me. It's unbelievable how many up and coming young players have 'talent' to play this game, yet zero brains. You want to make one big score? Guess what buddy, that's it. Some people don't deserve to have any action for the rest of their life. Then they can ask themselves if they really like playing pool for playing the game that they worked so hard to become good at. I won't name any names, but I can count a few of these type of people who walk around with a chip on their shoulder because they are skilled in pool, and got a name. Well I grew up in the country, and we base our friendships and respect for one another on merit, and size of heart. In all accounts, I don't know Lil John, but he is managing his career quite well, with the exception of a hiccup here, but to see someone doing it on the up and up- then getting screwed in the ass makes me sick too. I like action, gambling, and gamblers, but I despise thieves, and it looks like you got one in Baltimore.
