Introduction
I am not a new member, but realized I never wrote a formal introduction. I have started and commented on a few posts in the past.
I started collecting in 1989 as a kid, and stopped somewhere around the end of high school. As I'm sure many of you have done, I've slowly been adding cards I always dreamed of owning as a kid, and a few I hadn't known about. My collection so far is primarily post war, HOF rookies, and I'm working on a Mantle base run. I've purchased a few pre-war cards that I have found interesting, and am sure I'll continue to do so. I've been working on getting some of my favorite cards up on a public site. There's a link to it in my signature if anyone wants to check it out. I have found this site very informative, and am always learning something new. It's amazing how many experts there are here in different areas. I've made a few deals here, and have gotten assistance from other members buying cards elsewhere. I really enjoy reading all of the posts, and interacting with fellow collectors. I guess that's about it, thanks for reading.

I often wanted to comment that your screen name always stood out to me as soon as I first saw it on here. I love playing low-stakes poker myself. I first got into poker with the Moneymaker boom and ESPN showing it all the time. I have spent lots of time playing in Atlantic City, but now that poker is legal in Pennsylvania, I have several card rooms within 45 minutes of me as opposed to nearly three hours to A.C.

It certainly looks older than a year. Actually I hadn't noticed on that site, just changed it now.
And Pete yea I was just checking out the site and realized I never did one of these intros. I wouldn't doubt post 400 is a record for one. Better late than never I guess.

And yea I do like to play poker but don't get to much anymore. I used to play pretty regularly but never won any big tournaments or anything. I won my buy-in for the WSOP a couple of times and played in the main event, but didn't cash.

When I first started playing live in Atlantic City, I began with $40 tournaments at the Atlantic City Hilton (the cheapest tournament in all of A.C.) . I was so completely clueless when I first began playing live that I thought a person needed thousands of dollars to sit at a live cash game in a casino. Now, when I play live, I play almost exclusively cash games. I am usually pretty tight and nitty, which is often not the best strategy for tournament poker. I know Limit Hold 'Em has been killed by NLHE, but I still like playing LHE when it comes to cash games. I play NLHE cash a few times a year, but I don't really have the stomach for the swings of NLHE cash games. Last edited by Bored5000; 08-08-2015 at 09:30 PM. |

Thanks Leon, and thanks for the kind words on the Wagner. I do love that card.
And yea that sounds like an interesting book. He did seem to get pretty lucky in a lot of key pots. I don't remember exactly how the action went pre-flop in that hand with Ivey, but if I remember right it was 99 vs AQ and he probably called a re-raise preflop. I don't know how you fold 9s to a player you view as weak to a 3 bet. Obviously when the money went in on an AA9 board neither player was getting away from the hand. Ivey was probably 75-85% to win that one depending on if it went in on the flop or turn. But yea a terrible beat to go out in 10th like that. I think rather than driving to atlantic city I would have walked to the nearest bar and pounded a few beers.

I apologize for hijacking your introduction thread into a poker discussion, but I have wanted to bring up the topic ever since I first saw your name on here. |

Greenstein's criticism makes more sense in that context but I would have probably called one bet on a qq6 board with 9s as well and obviously would have felt great on the turn. I don't know which one is worse, Ivey's loss in 10th with that ace on the river, or the guy last year who lost AA vs AA in the million dollar buy in a few short of the money.
