mtdesmoines posts from his laptop while having sex with his cousin, so I don't see why you can't post here while drunk.

That sir, is a very logical and well thought out argument.

Post away Drunkasaraus Rex.

I thought it'd be pretty hard to argue with. The only difference is that mtdesmoines is NOT drunk while having said intercourse with his blood relative, so it's a little different, but I think we can't allow one without allowing the other.

But she's hot and she'll be 18 in a couple years.

So it's all cool.

-dead-

From what I understand, he wears a visor pretty much always.

16 is the new 18. Also, 15 is the new 16. I remember the transitive property from school...

It's all good.

This is a real long shot, but does anybody know anywhere I can play poker from a wii?

I tried Pitbull but that's flash 9 and wii only has flash 7

Brag: Good news I just cashed out my next months expenses and I still have a playing bankroll, which means I live for another month.

Beat: I still haven't had any meat, sugar, or white flour in 72 hours.

Variance: Temporary Nuts tattoo dude is soo sad LOL. Almost as sad as the dude that got the flaming Aces on the back of his hand.

I really forgot how easy NLHE is (well, 98% of the time). Playing PLO I have to actually concentrate and think about each and every decision.

Ooooooooo Mr. Fancy Pants and his Pot Limit Omerha. Pffffft.

Note to self:

Stop bluffing. They don't fold second pair.

Reasons to vote for Barack Obama...:

Once you go Black, you pull out of Iraq.

w00t!

I'm in two sigs!

Got a freeroll into a $50 tourney, Ship 4th for $928... god I run good.

except for when you play me (congrats on the tourney winnings)


up for playing or hanging out anytime soon? I'm feeling a bit healthier than I did at the beginning of the month...still gimping around with my ankle but I can make it to your place (or if you want to head over to mine, that's cool too)

Poker is easy imo.

Today:



January:



Tack on $1,308.04 from a combination of incentives, and losses on staking arrangments.

PostgreSQL > Access.

What are the benefits?

It doesn't change the way PokerTracker shows up or anything, does it?

Access stops working properly after it reaches a certain size.

Also, PostgreSQL is easier to manipulate (split, merge, backup, etc.)

I kind of want to save this for when things turn sour, and remind you how you thought you were unbeatable!

Seriously though, awesome Roberts-esque graph for the month! Congrats

Mmmmmm. I love the taste of Heineken in the morning.

Celebration of awesome poker accomplishments for the month?

Nope, just thirsty.

I had to wait until 10 am for the beer store to open, as well.

Sorry boss, I found someone better

Oops.

The last graph ended around the peak.

The last session was awesome. I watched the whole thing. The guy either flopped a pair and a flush draw that turned into two pair or better or rivered a set against Zach's top pair every hand for an hour.

Let me know next time.

Right now I am watching a DVD about a crazy musician that has released 31 albums since the early 70's from his house in East Texas, but until 2004 had never been seen by the public, and the only way to get his albums was to mail a check to a PO box in Texas.

2004 he did a live performaceJandek's First live Performace The live performace is especially horrible LOL.

The music is basic and emotional... I dunno if I like it or hate it.

The new sig is better

agreed

2nded.

BAN!

I was actually just thinking about this guy and for some reason kept thinking Prefuse instead of Jandek. Weird stuff, I personally am not into it but eh, to each their own.

this thread has been really disappointing as of late, let's step it up today!


here's a news story for all you fat bastards: http://www.nypost.com/seven/01172008/news/...blue_235952.htm

The world according to America

that no escalator bit is true though.

Could y'all who have played big games live comment on the showdown etiquette discussed in this thread ?

wow, that is really sad...

Not 100% sure if I'm right, but I had a similar dispute go down in the Taj and the floor was called over. That was their official ruling.

lmaaaaaoooo

I think that everyone except that Koop guy is on the same page, and he's just misunderstanding what the guy said. Seems like everyone knows that if you are called for a showdown, you have to show first.

It seems that the other pros (and also Sam Grizzle) agree with what Phil's saying (even though they wish he would just show down so they can get on with it).

perhaps it's my disliking of Hellmuth for being a crybaby whiner that I really don't care about it all that much...but IMO, if Phil doesn't want to muck then fine, he's gotta show his cards before the other guy has to show his hand.

Koop is great but he loves arguing lol


I agree it is bad etiquette to make Phil show his hand. But then again Phil calls people idiots and does tons of horrible etiquette maneuvers. He claimed he was going to have all this power in poker for god sakes.

I say make Phil show his hand but don't make the fish show his.

so in keeping with the fat bastard theme that we've apparently become...


I decided to start keeping track of caloric intake while I'm at work to see how I can perhaps lighten up. By 10am yesterday I had already eaten half of my alloted calorie target...damn chocolate milk! I'm only keeping track of what I eat snack/drink-wise since I don't really have a way to get nutritional info for food I cooked but I think it'll help me cut down on garbage @ the office.

if anyone wants a copy of the sheet for themselves, let me know and I can send it - just an excel doc with a pivot table, nothing fancy.

Spark people


interesting website that might help you out.

nice one, checking it out now.

What do you do when someone check min raises you on the flop?


this is tilting me soooo bad.

David,

I've never played big live games, the biggest I've played is 15/30, but at ANY level of poker, if I call a bet, I'm waiting for my opponent to either show me his hand, or muck his hand before I show mine. If he mucks his hand, I'm holding my two cards in my hand until the pot has been shipped to me, and then tossing them in the muck.

I don't recall exactly what the argument was on PAD, but I think it went like, JRB calls, Hellmuth says he's mucking, and waited for JRB to show his hand. Hellmuth is the first to act in the showdown order. He needs to make a decision to muck or show his hand. If he shows, JRB needs to show to win the pot.

IMO, there's no more to it than that. Do I recall Hellmuth saying that JRB had to show his hand to win it, if he wanted to muck? Because that's ludicrous. Hellmuth wanted info from JRB without showing his own hand, which he would have to do, in the correct order of showdown.
