She does have rather large implants.

I have a new biggest pet peeve in poker.

You raise up to X amount. You see a flop, but lose the hand.

After the hand, someone else not in the hand says to you, "Nice bet. I folded the winner."

I want to choke these people. Especially if they pat the table, Lucky You-style.

1st, nothing is stopping you from choking them out

2nd, I still haven't seen Lucky You

I apologise in advance for the following post.

Lucky you.

It's pretty bad. You should wait until someone else rents it for $1.00, rather than renting it yourself.

Like I said, I enjoyed seeing the Binion's dealers (e.g., Norris) because it made me feel like an insider and a couple of poker scenes. The characters are just completely unbelievable, though.

I desperately want to have a conversation about some of the "best" parts, but I don't want to ruin it for the anyone. Off the top of my head, the length of time between getting a small amount of money to start the money to sitting in the big game is phenomenawesome.

The table pat.

The...oh, the ecstacy.

NH

I saw it in the theatres.

Unfortunately only one time.

It's definitely a two theatre appearance movie.

I liked it, but really only for the scenes of Vegas and inside some of the casinos.

That had to be the biggest joke of a movie ever? Jay kept telling me to wait til the end. The end didn't help.

I'll tell you what I didn't like, and that's Drew ****ing Barrymore. Couldn't they find a better girl for the role?

You must have missed it.

Watch it again start to finish, you can't miss it twice.

If anyone is bored I am in the money in the 17.5k on Tilt

theypeedonmyrug is the name

gogogogogogoogogogogogo

average stack with 73 left.

bah push AJs after getting short, get called by AA, KK and QQ

KK wins

booooo

was just bout to check in.

gg

rather annoyed with myself as well, I was debating if I should make a standard raise or if I should just shove. I obv get away from AJs when there is a push and two callers. LOL


god I hate donkaments.

I find myself saying that about every movie she's in. I pray at night that E.T. will some day ride off with her into the moonlight on a Huffy and never bring her back.

Strike that, she doesn't deserve the luxury of a Huffy. She's more of a Schwinn kinda girl.

now i'm not a huge fanboy either but she was great (and hot) in the Wedding Singer and she was good in 50 First Dates and I think thats about it.

Where my FF boys?

I have to start one of the 3 backs

Ron Dayne, Maurice Morris, Kevin Faulk

Rank and reasoning please i need a win.

Ew. I guess I'd start Morris because he's got the best chance of getting solid playing time. Maybe Dayne? Not Faulk though. I doubt any of these guys will be the difference between winning and losing because none of them should impact any of the games. I'm still going crazy about my WR situation.

I think I settled on Johnson, Jennings and Marshall, with Hackett and Branch on bench and waiting Javon to get healthy.

I'd start Morris. The Saints have a deceptively good rushing defense (their pass defense is horrific) and Faulk simply won't get enough carries to justify playing.

I think I'm gonna head to Vegas for a few nights in the midst of the Five Diamond Classic.

Weeeeeeeeee.

Will you be staying at the IP??

I'm thinking about trying to book the poker room rate at the MGM. If I'm reading http://allvegaspoker.com correctly, they'll give you a $40/night discount, on what is already only an $89.99/night room.

Has anyone ever booked a poker room rate?

Actually BAW, i have a 6 and bit hour shift and the internet is running out of things I'm wanting to read.

Kind of on the verge of quitting poker. Don't particularly need the money...so it's mostly about the competition/fun...which I mostly get from tournaments, but not lately.

Take a break.

I booked a room at Bill's Gambling Hall and Saloon (formerly Barbary Coast) for Dec. 10th - 17th.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Yer too good to quit and you know it.
Take a little money out.
Buy yoself something nice.
Take a month off.
Se ya soon.

woohoo! back from my vacation and already BORED AT WORK.

I've only played a couple hours in the last 3 months. Obviously I've won a lot less than you, but I've enjoyed the break from poker.

I think there is probably less than 5 hours of work I need to do this week, should be a fun 3 days.

figures my first day back that there is this huge meltdown in IT that means I can't do any work until they get it fixed. I just wish that someone had the decency to call me @ home so I could've slept in!

Hey guys I got kicked in the nuts last night in the Sunday million so no more poker for me until next sunday.

I win one more coin flop i have a top 10 stack with 1600 left

It takes me 3 days to do 5 hours of work...

yet my co-workers are somehow marveled at how "fast" i get things done.

booooo! I need someone to play with, I know you're good for the $ eventually!!!

seriously, same here...I question the compentency of some of my co-workers.

Hey,

In the last year and a half or so, I've taken breaks from playing for a month or more a couple of times for different reasons. I still posted on here and read books about it and stuff, but I just didn't play and I think that it really helps you get some perspective. It lets you be involved with the game to an extent without actually having to suffer any of the ups and downs from it.

I wouldn't set any rules for yourself or anything, but just step away from it for a few weeks. If you feel like playing, then play. I think one of the most fun things to do is to learn a new game, but from talking to you, I already know that you're not exactly a one trick holdem pony, but I'm sure there are still other games that you can learn up on, which would be fun since more players suck worse at other games than they do at holdem.

If I had to guess I would say you are on a downswing right now. Poker is never fun when you're losing. It's a crazy game etc. I haven't ever been able to log crazy hours because the game makes me so mad when I lose. If you don't need the game and it doesn't make you happy then leave it. Would be nice if you kept posting though.

I know for me, everytime I take a break I know I'm coming back. I'm not yet satisfied with my ability yet. I'll always come back until I believe I have maxed out my potential. After that comes if I'm not making crazy loot I'll probably only play very occasionally. If I get to be the best I can be and it's not anything significantly better than "$1000max grinder" I doubt I'll continue playing.

Cross-posted but this is a trade offer to me and I'm not sure what to do...


My team is currently in second place. My league gives .5 to receptions. 1qb 2rb 3wr 1te 1k 1d league.

My Team:
Carson Palmer
Andre Johnson
DJ Hackett
Greg Jennings
Ladanian Tomlinson
Willie Parker
Greg Olsen

Backups:
Brandon Marshall
Javon Walker
Deion Branch
Earnest Graham

The trade is Earnest Graham, Willie Parker, DJ Hackett, Andre Johnson for Chad Johnson, Jericho Cotchery and Stephen Jackson.

I think I'm giving up a lot at WR but it's my deepest position and this solidifies my RB situation because Willie sucks and Earnest is not an every game type player. Right now I'm 2nd in the league alone, and a good bet to make the playoffs.

I appreciate the support, guys. I'll definitely stick around...too many good friendships and intellectual stimulation...and I probably won't "quit". It's kind of a combination of factors that led me to this feeling, really. And, actually, I'm more stoic than depressed about it. I'm doing just fine with cash games, but MTTs are eating my soul. The problem is that there doesn't seem to be a "goal" in cash games when you're not depending on the money. My last big MTT outright "win" was in January...and I feel like I'm better than that...but the results speak, I think.

That said, I did just remember a long-term goal for myself that may keep me interested in the game. I've wanted to get back to being lifetime winner at 5/10 NL...and the way I've been playing lately there, I think that's well within reach.

horrible deal for u IMO. I would definitely keep DJ or Andre for sure. Try to sub branch or marshall for one of the two

I countered with willie, graham, and jennings for steven jackson. Willie and Graham could both potentially start for him (if Marshawn is still hurt) and Jennings would be his best WR (IMO) he has Chad Johnson, Lee Evans, and Jericho Cotchery.

The cashout curse does exist.

At least this time it was all coolers, suckouts enrage me.

yeah well i increased the curse by emailing stars and asking them where my check was since it was like 3 weeks. since then (6 days) i have lost more money than i have in my bank account. i'm about a few more lost buyins to suckouts and done with online forever and playin live 3x a week at mountaineer.

Hows it going? whats everybody doing for Thanksgiving?
