Billiards Boy:I'm no Michael Moore fan or anything, first of all. I don't think he goes quite far enough in his class analysis. But I want to know what exactly is he lying about? The point of his films, particularly his last one, seem to be that we are living in a world in which human rights are subordinated to profit margins. He uses the example of control of world oil reserves by imperialist nations, such as the US. As many of us know, control of key stretegic oil reserves is essential for economic domination. Now maybe it is just me, but that seems to be the point of the movie. I do

today I got a box in the mail that I didn't send for. I looked at it and said what the heck is this. So I opened it and it was a party poker hat and a letter from "mike sexton" telling me how much party poker missed me. (I haven't played at party poker in years) The letter said they deposited 50 bucks in my account, no strings attached. Free hat = ok50 bucks? I'm skeptical. Has anybody else had this experience and is this money legit or is it one of those things where I have to clear some kind of bonus?ps, I stopped playing at party poker because in my first two hours of playing there, I

Whats your favorite crap hand to play?
mystery trips replied to JustinHEMI04's topic in Poker Forums
9h10h is my favorite marginal hand. When I first started NL ring games I flopped a straight flush, king high with it, and busted some guy when he made four kings on the river. -
I give one bad beat for every 1,347 that I take, but here is one I gave.I was at the Bike, 100 dollar buy in NL hold em ring game, and I had a pair of tens. I raied about 12 dollars and got one caller. the flop comes K, 3, 6, rainbow. he checks to me, and I am suspcious but I bet about 10 bucks to see where he is at and he calls. I start to think he has A/K or K/Q.turn comes a 10, woo hoo, joker for me.before I can even process this, he moves in, and I immediately call.He flips over KK, and I'm just about to walk away w hen a 10 crashes down on the river.he was really cool about it. I'm

why playing poker for a living is clearly sinful
mystery trips replied to japeto_mtg's topic in General
America is a true capitalist nation in every sense of the word. Social Security and welfare are nothing more than bribes to make sure that the poor don't revolt against the ever increasing wealthy. This is not even theory, it's common sense. Talking about religion, let me try to make a long story short.the foundations of religion in general were a way for man to explain and make sense of those aspects of his life that he could not control. Weather, natural disaster, death.As time went on those who wanted to legitimize their power and wealth over others used religion to do so. In other wor -
favorite lines from tilt last night
mystery trips replied to Mandelbrot's topic in General Poker Forum
am I the only one here that believes ESPN made the first episode of TILT so over the top so that people would talk about it all day? Even negative press is press, and I expect things to cool down. They were going for shock value or disbelief. Oh, also I thought they were loosely alluding to Jennifer Harman with that little girl of 12 in the cash game. Wasn't Jennifer Harman a young girl playing and beating a cash game of adults? -
Ultimatebet:The best poker site out there

ok, but lets say you win one of those, what do you do with your eight dollars? is there a 1 cent 2 cent game on there? I don't think so. at UB you can play various games for pennies, allowing you to actually build on a small dollar tourney win or cash. P.S. I've played in those full til tourneys. Full tilt is not as fast, sleek, and it's choice of games is small. -
what do you use as a card protector?

I use my Heisman trophy.just kidding, I couldn't even make the football team in high school. I use my silver money clip I bought at the Horseshoe in vegas. -

Howard gives great commentary. I never found norman chad funny, even though his job is a color commentator. Howard is not a color commentator. -
KQ...it's not that good of a hand...is it?
mystery trips replied to wrto4556's topic in General Strategy
why do you keep using percentages? Nobody is arguing that KQ is a favorite over a dry Ace. Most of the people, including myself, who have replied in favor of calling are doing so for reasons beyond percentages. -

MysteryWhat do you mean by playing with house money without making a deposit? Are you refering to the play money games? If you win with this house money will the winnings be real money in your account? I just created an account there to try some play money games.there's another thread here called bootstrapping on UB.I don't mean play money, I mean that UB has such an excellent UB point system, microlimit system, and freerolls that make it possible to win money without ever depositing it. Of course it takes some time and determination. -

I call that quickly. For all the reasons you guys said, plus I don't want people thinking they can bully me around, I want to let them know I'll protect. As the blinds go up, I want the image that my blinds can't be stolen. So for people who merely talked about the EV, as always, there are other factors. -

I only play stud 8 for UB points if there's a game going. I really milk those points in the NL hold em tables :-) are you smasheroo on UB?P.S. to whoever said the no note taking alert is annoying, it isn't to me, because I keep all notes in my head.
