Meh, I don't have a favorite beer... I'm weird like that.
I'll take something I can't get here though...
Yuengling Lager (if you can get it there)
If not, Dos Equis Lager.

Tight players don't typically raise KJ from the BB...so what are you afraid of? We might not be able to push him off the same straight...but we're missing value against sets and two pairs if we don't raise.
Things I said during the hand...
(After he checked the turn) "This is a very tricky way to play a set."
(On the river) "KJ? No, you don't raise KJ from the BB. You never have KJ here."
And then I just called.

read your emails, no game happening - only time I could've played due to a party tonight was like 10-5 and the only one who responded was Jason. All good though, will be back on for next weekend...the Sox will have swept by then so there shouldn't be any conflicts.
where can I get Yuengaling around here??? Any store I've been to (and remembered to look) has never had it, not even Blanchards or Marty's which are fng gigantic.
ps, I'm no longer known as the donkey. switched to a new SN

So lame. My entire family, Massachusetts-side, will be in Florida for a wedding.
I was going to convince my father that we should all go up there to visit my niece. He uses any excuse to see his only grandchild and would've paid for everyone's tickets. +EV.
EDIT: Andromeda, if Neck can't help you, I'll fedex you some Yuengling. They sell it everywhere here, including gas stations.

I told her to start with this and if she got bit to let me know cause I had more advanced books. I also invited her to the home game...figure the easiest way for her to learn is for one of us to take all her money. She's declined thus far...we'll see though.
Andromeda,
I had Yuengling when I was in Pittsburgh, for whatever that's worth. I thought it was local to the 'Burgh, but someone told me it was an eastern states type thing. All I know is that I cannot get it here.
********
I'd love to come to a WPT, but I'm poor.

:stating the obvious: Pitt and Phila are in the same states so I'm not surprised it was available there. It seems to just not be available on the West Coast or New England...I've been able to find it other places, just not locally. Another good beer there was the Honey Brown beer, tasty.
Well if you make it to the area, I might be up for staking someone (not fully but partial depending on the buy-in). I can live my poker life vicariously through better players.

Either way, 75% of the league is Canadian.
I didn't realize how "sportsmanly" canada is...lots of pros in all of the sports.

No, everything goes back to that J8 hand!
I'm kidding. Staking Zach is like buying a spicy chicken sandwich w/ cheese at Wendy's. You're always happy with the money you spent, unless they forget the cheese.
I have no idea what that's supposed to mean.

That's very soon...
I'll be honest... the chances of this happening are about 1%...
I'd love to get out for one later on, in a few months, if they have another one around that time, as I'm in the process of getting myself completely debt free and completely robusto.

I swear I folded trips!!!
My evidence is that since I never fold, claiming I folded trips would be so unbelievable, I expect BS to be called upon it!
For the record, I was willing to stake Zach in Vegas, but things didn't pan out. I was just busting his hockey pucks. Seriously, give him all your money!
It doesn't matter anyways, I don't think I can afford to just fly to Boston on a whim at this point in my life, lol.
Getting closer though. I'd say by January, I'll be ballin.

Hopefully I will run good at foxwoods ONE TIME. I have gotten my money in good 90% of the time and only game away winner once.
I am going to be down there at the 3rd/4th if anyone else cares to go. I have an FTP jersey that says No_Neck on the back, not sure if I am going to wear it though.
It was pretty funny last time I wore it I was playing 1/2 and someone asked me if I was a Fulltilt Pro... maybe I got leveled?

Simo I see you lurking, you are welcome to come too
Last year, I drove from Massachusetts to Florida and decided to stop in either Foxwoods or AC. AC at the time had a serial killer on the loose, killing only prostitutes. Since there was a high likelihood of his targets being relatively close in proximity to me, I decided on Foxwoods...
...until I saw the prices. Holy crap is that place expensive. I'm surprised they don't have a 20 percent rake.

Heading out to play the poker now. Wish me luck...and that I kill no old people.

Yeah... it's $450 if I drive 5 hours south to Minneapolis.

Good instincts, just a day late. The 7-3o was yesterday and it was uuuuuugly. In fairness to the guy, he didn't nearly have a stroke. He just called me a bunch of names, grabbed his chips and stormed off towards his eventual (but soon) death.
$353 from Minneapolis to Boston, through Philly.
$150 in gas to get to and from Minny, and whatever parking will cost.
Plus gamboool money at Foxwoods...
I think this is a -EV trip.
I've got some other shit I need to buy before dropping 1k on a trip.
Like I said though, in Jan/Feb, I know they have another event sometime before the WSOP anyways, I should be balling my balls off, so I'll keep a trip to Beantown in mind.

That is around the time I was planning a trip down to Foxwoods with the boys as that is when I get my annual bonus (I'm anticipating to be around $8-10k - woot!). I'm sure as the months approach we'll talk more about it - feel free to come down at that time, between me and Nate, I'm sure you have a place to stay
Awesome.
I'm going to bed.
Been up for like 20 hours.
Good night all.
Will be back at 7 for the Pens game on French TV! (they are playing montreal and I can't find an english feed... sigh)
