Well it wasn’t terrible, but it was a bad judgement call.
Chances of winning with his highcard were slim (from his point of view), and getting a straight.. I’d understand it if he had an open-ended straight and raised on the flop… but this was definitely too slow and too late.

Wow all these poker experts on youtube. Nothing wrong with Valhedi’s play really, if you look through the entire hand Sammy could easily have had nothing (esp given how loose he plays) and the board is something the BB (which was Valhedi) could have hit a monster on. Not a terrible play really, ok he looks stupid this time but the move will work in more situations then it fails.

Because the other 9 was already in the hole of one of the other players, that’s why Farha got the check mark Search for the entire hand here on youtube

“if a nuclear bomb were to drop, Farha would still hold on to his cards”, lol if a Nuclear bomb did drop, there would be no Farha, and no cards to hold, but good luck to him anyway

??? Yes I agree with you 100% !! the hand must be played, and the 2 cards exposed be show. If 2 or more players acted ( and in your situation…there is) it's called a "significant action" the hand continues.
Where did you play that tournament? I hope this didn't bother you too much and I hope you did good in the tournament.

I would suggest you do a search online for poker, but there are many variations – hold-em is currently the most popular. Read up on the basic rules for the types of games and then download some free games to practice playing. You could also download pokerstars or ultimatebet or one of the many others and play in the play money games they offer. The best way to learn is to actually play, reading will help but it is no replacement for the real thing.

hmm good question! the 2 most easy sites to win on are PKR poker and paciffic poker…the bonus on paciffic poker and PKR are hard to get and not very good but the people are so bad it dont matter. Both fulltilt and Pokerstars only give you good bonus's if you play loads every day of every month which can be unfair.
But saying that Pokerstars is the best place in the world for tournaments..they do take for ever though but they have huge prizepools!!! in the recent WCOOP the main event had a 10.2 million prizepool!!! lol!!
hopes this makes sense…

Take turns being the dealer. Do the raising and calling the same as you would with a regular dealer, you are just taking turns, and the dealer plays as well. It would be cool to have everyone cut the cards after the initial shuffling, or just have the person next to the "dealer" cut them once or twice. we play with just $10 a player, and then split up all the chips so that everyone begins with the same. whoever is last at the table wins it all. The amount each puts in is up to you, but you might not get so many players if you go too steep for the fee. You can play however you want, but that is how we do it, winner takes the pot at the end of the night. Have fun! (and good luck!)

Nowadays most people look at Johnny Chan, Phil Helmuth, Daniel Negraneu (sp?), and all the superstars and think that poker is a glamorous, easy life that lets you make millions for a day or two of work. Turn on your TV and you'll see three or four different shows, all featuring clean cut guys who don't seem to care if they win or lose, having a great time at their "job". They're earning more than I'll make in 5 years while wearing a Hawaiian shirt and playing outside in the Caribbean! I can think of dozens of people who all claim they wish they could be professional gamblers. They're all fools.
What they don't show you is the 80% of people who try to make a living playing poker and fail. They also don't really acknowledge the fact that a poker player lies for a living, and most are pragmatic to an almost Machiavellian degree. I'm friends with a couple of professional gamblers, and once accompanied one of them to an underground game in Phoenix. I wasn't playing all that great, but that's probably due to the fact that I was playing in a small, smoke filled, dingy, poorly lit room surrounded by people who desperately needed a shower, several of whom were openly carrying firearms. I left after 3 hours, down about $150, and asked my buddy why he played there. He told me they took half the rake of an Indian casino, and then went back to play for the next 18 hours. Even if you're in a casino though poker is a tough, tough way to make a living. Grinding out the rent money on a limit table is, to put it bluntly, boring. The funny thing is that it's exactly like work. What's fun and exciting when you do it for you becomes boring and tedious when it's your job. And that's all that it is to most professional players: a job.
The poker explosion in the last decade has really cleaned up the game. But there's simply no getting around the fact that for every Doyle Brunson or Erick Lindgren there are a thousand penniless bums who thought they were better than they were. And for every final table on the WPT there are a thousand dingy games in second rate casinos and run down apartments. I love poker. I love playing it with friends, sometimes in casinos, and online. But it's just a hobby. To do it as a job is a hard, hard life. I'm not wary of professional poker players, same as I'm not wary of cops or truckers or anyone else who does a hard job. They're at least giving their dream a shot.
For a great reference read Poker Nation: A High-Stakes, Low-Life Adventure into the Heart of a Gambling Country by Andy Bellin. He chronicles some of his experiences trying to become a professional poker player in New York and the experiences of some of his friends. A truly great read.

One thing to make clear here is aggression is not all about bluffing.
Successful aggression is really based on 3 things.
1.Insurance: Making people fold when you have the best cards at that point in the hand. Say you have JJ and the flop comes A of hearts J of hearts and 9 of spades. There is a possible flush draw and a possible straight draw. What you have to do is use your aggression to stop the hand at that point or make it prohibitively expensive for someone to play a draw.
The same can be said for high pockets cards like AA KK QQ JJ you need to make a significant raise pre flop (say 6 times the blinds so that you "insure" that people make the wrong decision in calling.
2. Making your good cards count when you have the best hand. There is nothing worse than when a new player has a monster hand checking or calling when they should bet. If you have the best cards make it expensive to see your winning hand. It is a science of how much you should bet, but it should not be cheap (like 1-2 times the blinds).
3.Correctly reading the situation. If you are last to act (say the dealer) and there are two limpers (people who just call) to the flop and you think they haven't hit, place a bet, ensure that your aggression is within limits and usually double blinds to pot size.
Correctly reading the situation comes from reading the board for draws and knowing the player that are still in the hand and what they could have and how they play.
The problem with TV poker is that they don't show the hundreds of hands in which Phil Ivey folded, they only show the interesting hands. What pros do for the most part is highly calculated and if you are only just starting out in poker, only bluff when there is a very high chance that you will win.
Also only try to bluff small numbers of people don't try to bluff 4 people, it just won't won't work as "someone has something".
Aggression has many facets these are only a few.
I have a blog that has more tips on it. Link below.

i like the chips from "www.pokerchips.com" set #300 or set #100….set #300 gives you more variety but less chips…set #100 gives you more chips but less variety…its hard to say who has the best?
