I never posted the story about the, uhhh, working girl who both saw me pull the money out of my pocket and saw me pass out from drinking too much with Zach, yet didn't take a dollar. Moral of the story...

Vegas rules.

(also, carrying around money in your pocket is stupid)

Now I'm cringing ... the holes all sealed up, yet?

BTW, I often wonder about how to manage poker money for live play, especially when I travel, but also at home. Anything can happen:

robbery
mislocation
theft in the hotel (I mean, you can't take it to the pool with you)
car accident and you're knocked out or something

There should be some sort of "bank" that would allow you to access your money at any casino in the country. Hmmm, is there? Wait, is this some kind of a business opportunity?

Anyway, my wife has a big mouth and I also worry about her talking about my play ... someone I don't want to have know about it might decide the house is an easy target, ala Dave N. I don't want that ...

lol'd

The first night I ever went to an underground game here, the guy who ran it gave me a ride home at the end of the night. He told me that all of the local games had been getting robbed lately and that this gang robbing the players had been pretty non-violent at first but started pistol-whipping people lately. I decided not to go back, but instead started my own game.

Our first idea was to do a completely cash-free game. We set up a computer with PokerStars and players transferred money to us for their buy in. At the end of the night, we transferred it back to them. We put the word out that cash was not even allowed in the room. The idea lasted until the second person arrived and didn't have an online account, but brought cash with him. We never did another transfer, LOL.

I still think that idea's a good one, though.

Mostly. There's no nasty ooze coming out, at any rate.

Resisting robbers is -EV, btw. I've had a lot of trouble admitting that I was on life tilt.

That is a really good idea.

This is one of the reasons I quit my original game. It was made up of drugged out racists with guns who wouldn't have gone down without a fight to the armed Laotian gang robbing the locals games. Meanwhile, my philosophy is and was, take my money, take my credit card, I'll call you a cab and recommend some nice places to spend my cash, pleasegoddontshootme.

You're still the man, though, David.

Wow. The PLO players at the lower stakes are possibly the stupidest players I've ever played against.

Here's an example:

6 max PLO .25/.50 on FT
I have KQ95 ds and pot from the button. The BB and a limper call.

The flop comes down QJ5r, they check to me and I pot it. The limper calls.
Turn is a T, putting 2 diamonds out there (I don't have diamonds).
The limper checks so I pot it again. He calls.
The river is the 5d, completing the flush and filling me up.
He checks, I bet like 90% of the pot and he calls.

He shows down J442 with J high diamonds.

Looks like you got outplayed.

Jay, do you still get phonecalls from the 'working girl'?

I'm going to start posting all of the IM bad beats Acid sends me as he continuously gets frustrated and angry 1 dollar SnGs and .001-.002 PLO. I've seen him stick 1000 dollars in the middle of the table live, yet every micro-stakes hand kills his soul a little more.

We play because we love the game. Stakes don't matter.

You guys like poker?

That's pretty bad. It looks like I'm playing in the wrong games, as usual.

The hand that sticks in my mind from the Rio is this guy putting in ~$1,500 in on the flop with unimproved AAxx.

I can't quite remember the action. I think the AA bet, a full wrap raised, a third guy reraised with top two pair and the second-nut flush draw, the AA flat called, the wrap pushed, the two-pair folded, and the AA called.

Now it turns out that he makes a "good" call here for the actual hand he's against, but it's seems pretty ****ing reckless.

Zach, did Smash get banned for life from poker by playing baseball? I really need to know.

lol, I don't understand the question.

I'm certain he's not banned from this site, anyways.

I won.

no I just tolerate it, kind of like sports betting. Except I expect to make money at poker.

First of all, it's .25/.50 PLO and I do get more frustrated with taking beats there than I do putting in over 1K in a live game. I am amused by that myself.

When I go 5 bets on a flop ($33 PLO sng) to get it AI on the flop of AcKx7c and I have KK93 with nut clubs and I'm against an idiot with AJT5 with the JT5ccc, yeah, I'll go a little nuts when I lose a pot where I get someone's money in as an 87% favorite in PLO. Yeah, I was pissed after that.

You say they are from "the ocean". So are they chinese or japanese.


(King of the Hill for those not in the know)

QFT.

I just sit here laughing at how much it pisses him off. Too funny. So much easier to get angry behind a computer at home than it is at a casino. I RARELY tilt live, but online? I can tilt alllllllllllllll day.

And to Zach, I hate poker. Everything about it. I'm just addicted and so mildly successful at it that I can't put in the effort to get unaddicted.

I misread your post about redpill. I'm much less interested in that now, since I don't know who he is.

I still get points for the Pete Rose joke, though, I hope.

you're not missing much if you don't know who redpill is. He's mid 30's lives with his parents and his room looks like a crime scene.

and Pete Rose says FU..and he'll be signing autographs at the forum shops this weekend.

Redpill is back? He kind of fascinates me. In a very dark, depressing way. He's like an older, crazier, less successful FWP.

It's hard to believe, I know.

Nice callback.

Pete really ****ed up with the gambling and lying stuff. He'd be so good for baseball today.

I'd love for Pete to be the manager for Barry Bonds. I think he'd have something to say about him going into the homerun trot every time he hits the ball more than 300 feet.

I'd always assumed FWP was a joke account.

the only problem is if it comes down to superstar vs manager, the manager is usually going to be the one to get the boot now.



well he is kind of joke, but I don't think he is anyone's alter ego.

He's way too involved to be a character that someone made up. I think he's just an actual person. A sad, sad actual person.

He is an actual person.

This thread has had one of its better performances today, I think.

nobody likes to do work after a 4 day weekend

I tilted hardcore today playing 25 max and shoved four hands in a row preflop and was called everytime - each time I had the best hand preflop - and each and every time I lost. And this was only after I got Aces cracked by A2 AIPF when the faggot flops a wheel.

K6<Q9s
AJ<A9o
66<K8o
76s<22

I seriously hate online poker so much.

This is why I don't play online a lot.

Oh, and I am no amorphous blob. I work out 2 hours a day.

I'm not an amorphous blob either, but I dislike movement.

Loser.

sigh looks like I missed a lot of fun, damn endocrine doctors with there cancer patients... WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE????!!#!@


tonight I play stupid kid in my heads up match on Stars 7:00pm stars time.


Natethegreek on stars incase anyone cares

Sorry I'll be learning about the foreign policy of India from 1942-present during that time. Should be exciting.

No way?!?!? You lost AIPF with K6o, AJo, 66 and 76s after you pushed them preflop?? Say it ain't so!

Sorry dude, but when you push hands like that, regardless of how on tilt you are, you should lose,

I'm not raving about my play, as I was tilting, but it's nice to know that I can't win a hand when I'm the favorite and I even get called by worse hands than the ones that I'm randomly shoving.

It's pretty sweet.

It is funny though, I don't tilt live - but online I just cannot take losing a 4+:1. It drives me berserk.

The world sucks.

All the owners who would boot a manager for this should be locked up and forced to watch Hoosiers until they get it.

I suck at forum gossip.

If you ever go to General (I only started recently) then you'd understand.

Angry alcoholic degenerate is all you need to know.

My wife lives in off-topic.

Tourney 60212929 in the heads up challenge vs Stupidkid if anyone wants to watch


fcpfcp if you need the Pword.

NOONEWANTSTOWATCH.

Except me

Edit: Ewww K7 vs K9 on a KKJ flop

yeah but that was the second match we are tied 1-1 right now. The match for all the marbles is tomorrow. 7:00 Pokerstars time

As much as I hate defending a bad beat post...

I couldn't disagree with this statement more. Poker doesn't know you're tilting or that you played the hand bad, the cards just play how they play and if you get all in 55%-45% or whatever it really doesn't matter how you played the hand.

I mean obviously you know that, but thinking he should lose because he was tilting is illogical and a poor way to approach poker. If you use this thought process in reverse it leads to tilt issues because "I played the hand perfect and X happened."

X happens.

The cards don't give a damn, they just come out however the hell they please.

I guess it's just the "you should lose" statement that bothers me so much. No he shouldn't, he should win right? He was called by an inferior hand...

I'm saying that he shouldn't complain about losing if he's pushing with those hands. Yeah, he managed to get called by worse, which is a miracle in itself. WTF am I explaining for, you know what I'm saying, you're just being a pain in the ass.

the development of 7-11? cool
