Pokler Online - House Hearing Examines Burdensome UIGEA Regulations

House Hearing Examines Burdensome UIGEA Regulations
On Wednesday morning, a subcommittee of the House Financial Services Committee convened to discuss 'Proposed UIGEA Regulations: Burden without Benefit? The hearing came as federal regulators continue to consider comments made...

Don't cross the 'lime

Several pots were close to $100,000 in size, with the largest being a $120,000 pot won by xSt0n3rx holding pocket fours against whitelime's big slick. The combatants were all-in pre-flop and the fours held up when whitelime failed to improve his hand.

One of the most interesting hands was an $83,196 pot where whitelime cold-called with the nuts on the flop, hoping xSt0n3rx would keep betting.

xSt0n3rx swallowed the bait and pot-commited himself with a $10,000 bet on the turn. And when whitelime went all-in, he called with an open-ended straight draw and a low pair, not knowing he was drawing to only three outs for a split.
