looks like you busted the 2/4 game because Bugsy's doesn't even have one running right now.
Sit down and people will join. The same players play at all stakes.
Oh, and there's no max buy. I used to sit at 2-4 with 10k.

I thought it was funny the villain told Naismith to read a book. Oh my goodness. Read a book, get better at poker, then come play me? I've been mad, frustrated, etc. But I've never encouraged any villain to get better at poker. I always (rightly) curse my bad luck instead.

Yeah...even though I think there's "value" there, it's extremely tough to bet against Beckett. I did put $50 on the Rocks to win the Series at +180 though.

eh, it's no big deal really...my bosses are cool and pretty much let me come and go as I please anyways. But since I'm leaving early anyways I don't really want to start working on something if I can't finish it today. I'm gonna go to lunch for an hour, then come back, then immediately leave for the day.
if only I could install/play poker @ work...that'd be awesome.

7am? that's sleeping in for me! I'm up at 5am and in the office by 6:45am M-F. At least that means leaving at like 3pm though. It's sweet too cause no one is in for at least 2 hours usually so 1/4 of my day I spend by myself.

I couldn't do that every day, I hate mornings. It would be sweet avoiding traffic and getting out that early though. People would walk in and see me asleep at my desk most likely.

Well Annete destroyed a 180 man on stars by playing position very strongly.
It was mostly playing from LP raising limpers or the blinds and then attacking weakness of the flop.
You should watch the poker x factor one she posted (its a sticky in the tournament forum).
It helped a lotttt with my tournament play.

Hurray, my internet connection seems to be working again. I'm not being disconnected every other hand. Let's hope it holds out.
Also, CTS' videos on Cardrunners are the best. They have pretty much transformed my NL game. I was too passive before.
