Almost like a PLO hand

Two pairs is usually no good in PLO big pots...

Ronaldo joins Team PokerStars

Former Barcelona, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, AC Milan and World footballer of the year, striker Ronaldo joins tennis star Rafa Nadal and Boris Becker as a PokerStars ambassador. The "Fifa World Cup winner" will represent Team PokerStars online and in major live tournaments in Brazil over the coming months, the online poker giant has announced.

This is great news for the future of the micro/small stakes games on pokerstars in my opinion. 

My new biggest pot ever and highest ever limit played today

Today I followed this villain from 50NL to 600NL and than to 600NL with antes. This is the highest limit I ever played(its almost like 1200NL if you add the antes to the blinds). He was extremely agressive(barelling and overbetting a lot, etc, lol) and he lost about 4 buyins in about 2 hours. Before this hand he just lost 2 big pots and I think he was pretty tilted by now and so I decided that his range was wide enough that I could get in AQo preflop and play my biggest ever. He had pretty good equity however because he had suited live cards and it was almost a flip. Here is my previous biggest pot.

Players folding the nuts?

Pretty weird hand I had at a CAP table. 1 player open folded the flop without any bet and another player folded the river with the nut straight on the board. In order for something like this to be +EV I think it takes a very special type of hand, like a 200NL live game where the rake is very high and on the river the pot is only a couple big blinds and 1 player goes all in(huge overbet) and if the other players would call they will pay more rake than the few big blinds that they will chop. But if that happens I think that the dealer would penalise the players that folded because I don't think folding the nuts is permitted (colusion rules I think). But the guys in this hand where recreational players so it ok:

And there is a new Rafa Nadal PokerStars TV Ad.... I think its pretty cool..... I hope it brings many recreational players:
