    Friday, December 07, 2007 Lying about your hand "Did you know that it's OK to lie about your hand, but you're not allowed to tell the truth about it?" I heard that from a woman at the table yesterday at the Flamingo. It's not the first time that I've heard somebody make such an assertion. Most famously, Annie Duke said essentially the same thing during one of the 2006 World Series of Poker episodes. I suspect that the 700 million re-broadcasts of the series are ultimately the source by which most players "know" this rule. But it's not true. The fact that so many people hear this and instantly believe it is just one tiny manifestation of the general societal problem that most people have precious little training or experience in critical thinking.* Even if I weren't pretty well attuned to the subject of poker rules, just an overall skepticism about accepting as fact things that people say would have caused me to raise a quizzical eyebrow at Ms. Duke's claim. I would immediately think, "Can that really be true? If so, it doesn't make any sense at all." Let me address this under three headings: (1) Why the "rule" as stated would be stupid and pointless, (2) What the rule actually is, and (3) What I think the rule should be. The alleged rule would be stupid and pointless Suppose for a moment that there really were a rule that said that you could say any lie you wanted to about your hand, but couldn't tell the truth about what you were holding.

Nr. 283 ISSN 1501-8962 Det må ikke kopieres fra denne boka i strid med åndsverkloven eller med avtaler om kopiering inngått med Kopinor, interesseorgan for rettighetshavere til åndsverk. Omslag: Hanne Baadsgaard Utigard. Grafisk produksjon: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo. Forord Jeg vil begynne med å takke Institutt for pedagogikk for at jeg fikk mulighet til å skrive doktorgrad om det aller mest spennende jeg vet om. Min hovedveileder Svenn‐Erik Mamelund har vært enormt hjelpsom og motiverende fra jeg skrev prosjektbeskrivelsen og hele veien fram til mål. Svenn‐Erik har alltid tid og er alltid positiv uansett om det er til en fastsatt veiledningstime eller i chatten på Facebook. Jeg ville ikke klart det uten deg. Christian W. Beck var den første som støttet meg i at man kan skrive om poker i pedagogikk og han loset meg trygt gjennom mastergraden og et godt stykke inn i doktorgraden før Kristinn Hegna overtok som bi‐veileder i februar 2014. Uten Christian ville jeg aldri kommet i gang med dette prosjektet. Kristinn har hjulpet og utfordret meg mye særlig på teoretisk rammeverk og belegget for alle påstandene jeg til stadighet kommer med. Uten Kristinn hadde jeg nok hatt syv artikler, men ingen av dem vill ha blitt publisert. Christin Thea Wathne har også vært veldig motiverende og en ivrig leser som jeg har hatt gleden av å være vitass for ved siden av doktorgraden.

  • Erick Lindgren a Young Superstar Won the Poker Cruise Million
    Erick Lindgren A Young Superstar won the Poker Cruise Million When he awoke on the cruise ship, Erick Lindgren was slow to remember the events of the previous day. Then, he looked on the nightstand, shook his head, and started laughing and mumbling to himself. There on the nightstand was a USD 22,000 bar tab from the night before! He had literally stayed up the entire night to party with friends – a ship full of them! In one fell swoop, the entire evening came back to him. After winning USD 1 million, he wanted everyone to celebrate his victory; he bought drinks for every person in the Crow’s Nest Bar for one hour. The Crow’s Nest isn’t just any bar. It is a colossal bar on the top of Holland America’s luxury cruise ship, the MS Ryndam. The room is dramatically enclosed by floor-to-ceiling windows, through which the lapping waves of the ocean can be observed. Furthermore, this wasn’t just any cruise; it was a poker cruise consisting of 546 players and roughly 750 companions, with the only non-poker related people on board being the ship’s crew. All week long, PartyPoker.com and Card Player Cruises put on a fabulous event. Poker players from all over the world partied and enjoyed one another’s company throughout the week. Mike Sexton called it „the world’s greatest poker party.“ Unfortunately for Erick’s pocket, it was quite the party where everyone knew one another and everyone wanted to join in the celebration; USD 22,000 buys lots of drinks, folks! The Guy Everyone Likes Prior to our interview, I walked around the ship asking people to tell me what they thought of Erick.

  • Die World Series of Poker Macht Sommerpause
    Die World Series of Poker macht Sommerpause Von Elissa Harwood Es ist nur schwer zu glauben, dass es bereits zwei Monate her ist, seit die Lichter auf der größten Poker-Bühne der Welt angingen. Die 42. World Series of Poker brachte Dramen und jede Menge Aufsehen. Jetzt ist der Vorhang der ersten WSOP nach dem Black Friday gefallen und im Thunderdome bleibt es bis November dunkel. Es kamen mehr Fans als erwartet und noch viel mehr schalteten bei den Live-Übertragungen auf ESPN ein. Es war ein Sommer, den man nicht vergisst, aber erst wenn die ganze Auswirkung der Umstürze am Online-Sektor sichtbar wird, wird man alles im richtigen Licht betrachten können. Die WSOP 2011 produzierte jedenfalls einige Stars und interessante Stories. Echte Charaktere Phil Ivey wollte eigentlich allen die Show stehlen, in dem er nicht antrat. Aber nach einer Weile krähte kein Hahn mehr nach ihm. Phil Hellmuth stürmte mit Pauken und Trompeten aus der Versenkung, im Vorfeld der WSOP war es ganz schön ruhig um „Poker Brat“, auf die große Bühne. Hellmuth verbuchte drei zweite Plätze (und vermutlich auch Platz zwei im Player of the Year Race). Das brachte ihm nicht nur in seinen eigenen Augen einigen Respekt ein. Shark Brian Rast stürmte ebenfalls die Bühne und nahm zwei Bracelets mit nach Hause. Jake Cody gewann die USD 25.000 Heads Up Championship und machte damit die Triple Crown perfekt. Andy Frankenberger, der WPT Player of the Year, konnte seinem tollen Jahr ebenfalls ein WSOP-Bracelet hinzufügen. Eugene Katchalov, Jason Mercier, John Juanda und Bertrand „ElKY“ Grospellier fügten ihren Trophäensammlungen ebenfalls Prunkstücke hinzu.
