What do you do and how old are you?

If it happens, gimme your address and I'll ship you a bottle of steak sauce to smother that hat in....

Booked


Sigh looks like I am going Vegan till beach weather comes through, this playing online poker for a living isn't good for the waistline. Hopefully I can find someone for a weight loss bet

O man no, refined flours, sugar, meat or dairy. O dear god this is going to be a long winter.

geotechnical/environmental engineer/consultant - 26

sweet, congrats

ty

was it to me cause i thought u had to ship me once?

ty sir

So, I'm assuming you went to school for civil engineering then?

yes went to pitt have a civil and environmental degree but i specialized/focused on geotech and have a certification in it

Book it.

I went to RIT in Rochester NY and I do structural engineering and all we do with Geotechs is mock the factors of safety that you guys use in the soils reports that we get.

What is the bet gonna be? Maybe I want in.

crap to book the bet I am going to have to get on a scale... boy is that going to be sad

I can't wait to double my bankroll through Jay though

Is it gonna be a final number like "1st to lose 25 pounds" or is it gonna be like "1st to lose 15% of their body weight" or what?

I'm interested and I want in!

I'm spotting you guys a handicap as I'm down 15 lbs already.

And eff you, Acid Knight, for implying that I faked being miserable last night. It was one of the worst experiences of my life, and I'm including the week I spent in Vegas a few years ago with no money to gamble in that statement.

I like how you used my full name (?) like an angry mother berating a misbehaving child.

It's all good, it's all over now.


I'm down about 15-20 since September, but I was down a little more before the holiday "let's-all-bring-cookies-and-candy-and-snacks-and-shit-to-work" season rolled around.

I'm still in the market to lose about another 25 pounds, so let's have a little weightloss bet.

I'm really disappointed I haven't seen one HH posted.

It's all pretty standard LHE stuff:

Guy raises, Jay 3-bets, guy c/c the flop and turn with QTo (solid overcard draw) and spikes a T on the river to outdraw whatever Jay had.

Pretty much just that Jay chose poor bet sizing and was like always giving his opponents good odds to outdraw him. This probably had a lot to do with the fact that almost every pot he entered was one where he 3-bet or capped preflop.

i suck so bad at structures was my worst subject by far. and yes the factors of safety are a crock of course we can basically make them come out to whatever we want.

i got married in August and went from 175 lbs to 155 lbs in 5 months and now i have to be back to at least 180 lbs. i would enter as well.

sweet we gots some gamblers, how you want to do it %, total weight, first to lose 20 pounds... thoughts?


I just signed up for Netflix, what should I put on the list.

I weighed like 230ish during high school and was still kind of pudgy. In college, I got to about 240, but put on a lot of muscle. Right now I'm hovering around 245-250ish and I'd be thrilled to weigh like 220.

I kind of think that the bet should be for everyone to lose at least like 15 pounds and have a set number of pounds to lose per week (2 pounds per week avg is actually a pretty good rate of loss) and then have a pool and the people who meet the goals chop up the money from the pool of those who didn't make their goals.

So, like if you want to lose 15 pounds, call it 16 and you get 8 weeks to get there or you lose the pool.
I'd want to lose 25, call it 26, so I'd have 13 weeks to make my goal or I lose my part of the pool.

What do you think? Sorry to jump on board and invite ourselves into your bet, Jay/Nate, but the more the merrier, right?

Super size me

Of course the weight gain might have more to do with the fact he was shoving 5000 calories into his mouth every day.

The sick thread in OT did this or at least talked about it, but I don't know how it turned out.

I just kind of came up with that because it seems to provide people with fairly even terms while allowing for people with different weights/goals to enter if they want. Also, it means that if everyone meets the goal, then I guess nobody gets paid, but hell, we'll all have lost a ton of weight if nobody gets paid, so it can't be all bad, right?

I need to lose weight.

I'm however not motivated enough to bet on it. I don't think my ego could take getting fatter and losing money.

I think you should participate regardless

LOL. That's pretty insulting!

Mostly because I was LOLing at your "I dont' think my ego could take getting fatter and losing money" comment.

Sounds good to me, I don't know what I am going to set as my goal but I think it will be in the 25 pounds for the next 10 weeks or something like that.


Netflix queue help please.... Kthx.

We will work out some details this weekend including $$ amounts, actual requirements and how we're gonna keep track of stuff.

Should be fun...

Can I go the other direction in this bet? (And I'd need a handicap since it's so insanely hard for me to gain weight.)

In.

EDIT: 2xx ? Haven't weighed in two years, but I'm in my fat clothes and I'm guessing 230. Would like to see 200.

Netflix:

New Releases:

The Kingdom
Eastern Promises
Simpsons Movie
New Harry Potter

seriously i am a movie junkie i have over 400 dvds so if you have any questions about a movie that you are thinking of getting just put them on here.

Some people are just skinny and can't change that. I would wager that you're one of those people. This would be a losing bet for you, so of course, you're more than welcome in!

I had a buddy in college who would eat two BK whoppers, large fries, large coke, large malt before we went to play basketball. Then we'd stop off and get something after we were done playing. He had an insane 2.5% body fat or something like that. Still does a couple decades later. It's not right.

I weigh 121.0lbs right now. In the past few years, I've weighed as little as 116 and as much as 132. So say gain 15lbs?

Dude, how tall are you?

MAX
Never mind. I know who said it. And I'm going to stick a
knife in his heart. And I'm going to send him back to
Ireland in a bodybag.

TOMMY
He's from Scotland.

MAX
Well, tell that stupid mick he just made my list of things
to do today. I'm going to pop a cap in his ass.



I am sooo getting Rushmore.

He's gotta be close to like 5'-10" to 6'

Also, you can't gain 15 lbs. I think it's just impossible for you

Acid_Knight is the #2 overall poster for the day. Congrats from all that BAW thread.

So he's like a chopstick?
A tall Chrozzo?

Where do you find that info?

And yes, I'm doing ver little work obviously! It's Friday

Nevermind, I found it.


WOW, I'm posting a lot!

hahahaha I think there is a good chance you just inadvertantly pissed everyone off.

Na.

how tall? I think I passed 120 somewhere around age 10 or 11, but I was about 5'10 or so when I was 11.

5'10.5"

I've actually been within this ~16 pound range for the past 10 years.

Cobalt is just scrawny. There's nothing he can do.

Dude's a beast at dominoes tho.

Yeah, it takes someone of Cobalt's imposing physical stature to become a beast at dominoes....
