calling station is tearing up the aggro donks at my table...

JRB doesn't want Phil to show. At all. He doesn't care what Phil has. He knows it's a busted draw. Everyone knows it's a busted draw.

Phil all but conceded the pot when he said "you got me" or something like that. Phil conceded the pot to JRB, but didn't muck.

What JRB did isn't bad etiquette, it's just not 'good' etiquette.

I do agree that the proper etiquette is the way Phil said it. That said, I've been in a position before where I call someone and they say, "Good call, you've got it" and then when I flip up my cards, they go, "Oh, I can beat that" and show theirs.

My general policy is that I don't do anything until their cards have been mucked and then I'm fine with showing.

EDIT: I will say that this has never been a problem with the more experienced players.

patience grasshopper you will own this guy

sigh he has tightened up like a drum... luckily I am good at tilting people.

would this be considered a semi-bluff since you are trying to represent the flush?

a semi bluff is when you bluff with a draw.

This is called turning my hand into a bluff since I can't see getting called and being ahead.

This would be the last chip i put in the pot obv.

i like it.

I'm raising bigger on the flop, I'd make it like $14-16 right there. Then if he calls I'm usually checking behind and surrendering the pot, but sometimes firing again, probably like a 65/35 ratio.

So since Monday afternoon my life has taken a turn for the worse. I had to drive up to my brother's new townhouse with my girlfriend to help his family move. This involved way too much of me lifting stuff since he's smaller and his family is a petite wife, a 3 yr old girl and a 9month old boy. So I liften heavy shit all day. Then my brother went to Boston Tuesday night for work, and his wife had work until this evening. So my girlfriend and I had to watch the 3 yr old girl and 9month old boy.

This would kind of suck regularly, but it was a new house, and neither parent was home the 1st day the children lived there. So basically I had a 3yd old laying here crying all day for 10 hours straight. Since it was their first day in the house, most things were unpacked, there was no cable, no internet. So it was straight Eileen and I entertaining and trying not to break up with each other because of the effing stress. I have gotten peed on, pooped on, cried on, climbed on, and ran out of all things entertaining to do.

The cable guy came 1 hour ago and I am no longer suicidal, but still severely depressed.

I'm never having children.

Luckily we are leaving today and I will be back to my regularly programmed poker all day, forums all day, and sleep when I want. Also, I have definitely eaten worse since being here because it's always a high stress situation and I'm too tired to cook and don't have enough time with these bastards running around.

LOL

Trade lives?

I can't legally play poker at the moment.

elaborate?

I can't leave the state or use the internet outside of work. That's all the elaborating I can do, unfortunately.

Technically I think posting this might be illegal ATM too

I wonder if this has anything to do with your avatar, or being a pedophile.

Either one would make sense.

The pedophile accusation is baseless though, don't worry.

If anyone asks, I never saw Temporary Nuts here.

did u get caught with weed at the MAC machine?

Ship it!

I'm looking forward to a FOUR HOUR DRIVE HOME! I can't wait for it, never coming back to Albany again. To you folks near Albany I am in Clifton Park, and shall never return.

For future reference. If you ever face any type of drug charge, including buying a girl you never met a drink at the bar, and you have a reason to not want your hard drive looked at, destroy it.

Search warrants are outrageous these days, and you are NOT innocent until proven guilty in the U.S. Instead, you are guilty until you shell out tens of thousands of dollars to a former DA who has to cut deals in order for you to pray for probation even though this is your first "offense" of anything ever, regardless of the truthfulness of said accusations.


Also, I have not smoked marijuana in over a year... I'm also kinda depressed about that too

I think you are naive if you think rich people haven't been getting away for shit as long as time has been going on.

It was just easier to keep a secret preinterweb.

I'm not rich... hell I didn't even get to finish college... maybe when it's all over.

Oh, and by "any reason to not want your hard drive looked at" includes a google image search on the word "girls" and looking at page 1.

that sucks someone going through your computer. I am not sure what happened but DAMN THE MAN!

I just don't want it to happen to anybody else... if the cops show up at your door have the oversized magnet ready

what exactly could you have on your HD that would cause a problem? kiddie porn or illegal music/movies/software???

whatever it is, good luck to you man - hope you end up okay once all is said and done.

FYP

January so far, god I am lazy, but I have been playing a tourneys, heads up SNG's are sooo soft. The ones on Stars people are basically just handing you $10, $20, $50 bills.

Anywho I should get my butt in gear. Blah 2k hand break even stretch. Sometimes I hate poker.

nice one! my offer is still on the table if you're interested.

If you think stars HU SNG's are soft just try playing the turbo ones on Bodog *drools*

Never played on Bodonk.... can't really with them having sports betting and all, I only bet in the BAW Thread

did u settle with desmoines or is he letting it ride?

the bet is still live, i don't think he is selling out. I offered a few times in the past. If the pats win this game I am not taking it off the table because it will be fun to have a free roll for the superbowl.

The buyout at this point isn't really going to be a deal anyway

I doubt we could agree on any buyout at this point.
I mean, really, what could I offer that he would accept?
He's gone from 15:1 with 17 (+/-) games to go.
He's now at 15:1 with 2 games to go.
He's 90% through his bet.
Offering anything on his part would be insane.
I'll just take my chances at this point.
After all, they've got to beat the Chargers JV.
(which the Colts couldn't do, btw)

EDIT: thanks for bringing this up the day after I posted this:

LOL, you barely beat me to it.

@ desmoines

PS has a beta for Macs, the link should be in this thread somewhere - I def. got it off this site and it works fine so far. Running 10.2 OS.

sorry man tough run there

Apparently Absolute Poker has a flash interface (no download) which would make it playable on a MAC... or even a Linux box if you so desired (if you could get flash 9 on a Linux box). I haven't really been able to try it out though.

The AP flash is annoying, imo. But better than nothing.

Another Poker table

What do you think? I talked him down to $280, I think I got myself a good deal.

broked link.

If that's the truth, I've got a long jail sentence coming to me.

If inadvertant Google search returns are prosecutable, we all better watch out.

Hermione is hot!!!

as it is equally funny that the nickolodeon logo is in the background.

Is she 18 yet?

Edit: April 15, 2008. Do you taxes legally and then you can legally do Hermione.

There is nothing inadvertent about all the porn that has come though my google searches.

The "Crime Stoppers" on the news want help finding a guy. He's wanted for stalking.

Isn't the problem with a stalker is that he won't go away? How can he be hard to find?
