just a topical question, has anyone seen a copy of the fidpa rules on tournament poker as i heard someone a few days back and they were talking about a wrong decision and he was saying in the fidpa rules this would of happened(i cant remember the whole conversation but i do have a point coming) so as i want to update my knowledge of poker i thought ill print off a copy and have it as break time reading. went on to marcel luske"s website and went through some links and hit the fidpa website and then............nothing. there is no website. i thought it was me doing something wrong so i went on a search engine(im not advertising) and went to poker news on this subject and to cut a long story short they could not get a copy. they were a little bit concerned how two very large tournaments at the bellagio(i unfortunately was not there as i had more pressing things at the time but if i had the spare time and MONEY then i would have played there lol) were governed by these rules but no one can get a copy of these rules. so if no one has a copy, then is this bloke talking out of his arsehole or is there a link to get a copy of their rules. hope someone has a answer to a very boring question lol

speak soon

hi there, im a bit annoyed with my live play, i busted out tonight with a crap  :as: 7h and the flop was  ad1 qh 9d, i pushed and got called with  qh 9c and the turn and river did not help so ive been online on full tilt and not done well, come 19th out of 90 player $3 sng so no profit, im waiting for my friend to bust out as im knackered and cant think straight, i am contemplating about playing tomorrow as its a £25 freezeout so probably try and recover my bankroll as its been on a downward spiral for a while.

as i havent posted for a while ill ask questions on preparing for a poker tournament. i probably be playing tonight but i am worried because i have not felt confident about my game so i will write these questions down and all answers would be appreciated.
1. as i am a busy man i will be looking at a car at home before getting ready to play tonight and will be rushing, is there anything that i can do to relax as i am like a wound down spring waiting to go off usually before i go and play in the event?
2. is it best to get to the venue early and listen to eeryone whinge about bad beats or get there just before it starts?
3. usually i play on a empty stomach, is this advisable?
4. as i havent cashed for a while, should i take a break after playing tonight or just keep plugging away?

and finally
5. if i play a bit of pool before i play, i tend to do well(at poker), is this a omen or am i just thinking it is?

answers on a postcard to the usual address lol

i have been reading other blogs and the general concensus is stating"when are we going to find the dates for season 3". i cant wait to try and prove to myself that i can have a good result on the odd occassion and want to play in a few national events and get to know fellow apat players.

ive made a formal decision, i have given up with online poker. it was one hand that makes me sick. i was playing in a 50c/1$ 6 seater cash game on full tilt, been doing well(up $5 at this point) and a new player came on the table, they posted and the cards were dealt, this player was utg and called the bb,folded to me on the button with  kc kd, made a obvious raise to $5, the blinds folded and said player called, the flop came  9c 4s 6h, said player checked, i raised to $10, the player raised all in(had me covered), i went to the tank but called, they had 9s 7s. i was dancing around the room even when the  :2s: but i threw my laptop when the  js came and he made his flush. i watched the table for a minute to see the reactions which was like "sick" and "wow" and then the bugger rat-holed and took my money. i cant believe how unlucky i was, its knocked me for six, why does it happen to me? it seems like i cant win anything. wednesday night i was playing in a live tourney and was knocked out by a two outer. i had  qd kh and i called a raise on the big blind and playing a flop heads up, the flop was  qh 8h 6h, i checked to trap him and he fell in the trap and he pushed all in, i insta-called and realised he had me covered in chips, he had 7h 7s the turn was a blank but the river was a  7c and i was off to play in the cash game and lose more money(queens vs king-jack and kj made a boat jacks full). anyway off to read some poker books and study and refresh my brain for tomorrow evening.
