he seems to be trying to tell me that there is something in my cupboard.

maybe it is an Indian...

how is that getting into work at 7 going?

it makes my jokes even worse than they already were...

I dunno, I kind of liked the flashback to Indian in the Cupboard.

Ahhhh - 1995, the year OJ gets away with murder, Ebola kills 244 peeps in Zaire, the speed limit is changed to 65, Microsoft released Windows 95, and (omfg) Quatum Leap kicks every other show on TV's ass.

Did Windows 95 actually come out in 1995? I resisted the change for soo long. Windows 3.1 was hot

This thread is going downhill FAST!

Haven't played poker for 2-3 days.

Haven't been suicidal for 2-3 days.

Time to fire it up.

It *was* downhill.

Anyway, I have to make a bunch of choices to make, one of them today. Maybe you guys can help.

So, here's the first one: should I intentionally bust out of my $20 home game early tonight to go play the $2/$5 pot limit mixed game at the local casino for a couple hours?

I've been playing well and running solid -- this is NOT running hot; just nice and solid.

There are donks on the sign up list -- this game runs once a week, and there's serious money on the table.

However, the home game crowd are my good friends and it's the NFL kickoff game we're going to be watching.

The home game is a rebuy, and I can pretty much win that game at will.

What should MTDESMOINES do tonight?

Drink beer and watch football with friends. The game runs weekly, no big deal.

Since the mixed games run every week I wouldn't be too worried about missing one week of it. I go watch football with friends.


But I suck at poker, so what do I know

Winning at will + Football + Beet = +EV

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!!! A THURSDAY NIGHT PARTY!!!

and we don't have to listen to the Monday night crew

Your new avatar is not nearly as cool as your old one. It's also not threatening to kill me and if it was, I'd laugh at it!

Tony K is the nuts. Anyone that disagrees is a facist.


Also why are you copying Spademans under avatar quote...

Lego cat ran bad, maybe I should go back to the original serious cat

Cats are lame.

That must be the default quote for having a brazillion posts

Kornheiser isn't bad, but him + Theismann was horrendous

I'm not even a cat person, but I can't stop laughing at some of those pictures

ahhh yes you are correct on both counts.

TK is worse than Dennis Miller and Joey T put together. I can't STAND Kornheiser.

Oh, and you all picked the answer I was leaning to anyway.

Dennis Miller was the worst for me, I needed a thesaurus next to me whenever he was in the booth. Only to find out what he said wasn't that funny anyway.

Exactly.

OK, next question.
And this is purely hypothetical.

Grace Park
Faith Hill
Christina Aguilera

Pick one and only one before you lose them all.

I don't know who Grace Park is, but picking anything other than Christina has to just be plain wrong.

EDIT: I just looked up Grace Park. My above statement is still true.

Faith Hill is pretty hot.

I'd pick Christina if it's her from like a few years ago in the "Come On Over" video.

Maria thinks you're being unfaithful.

FYP

I'm actually starting to hate Jessica Alba, not so much because of her personally, but because her fans get insulted if you act like any other girl is hotter.

Hottest girl alive, obviously:

Obviously. But I'm not pinched in a corner by a chick like Jessica Alba.

You posted that somewhere else and got shot down by other people.

Observation 1: That girl is definitely hot but I like Jessica Alba becuase I think she's cuter
Observation 2: It's sad that you probably have that YouTube commercial book marked and have likely done unholy things while watching it
Observation 3: You are right about many of her fans. I think she's hot, but that's only becuase I haven't seen something better recently.

A buddy of mine works in accounting on movies. He was working on Hitch in New York and they shared a building with whatever Alba was working on at the time. The people working on Alba's project told my buddy she's very stand-offish and a bit of a bitch.

Of course, I have a thing for girls that are bitchy, so I'm not sure the point here.

Oh, and I'll keep fighting the RGX girl fight.

I have that YouTube commercial book marked and have just finished doing unholy things while watching it

Hey, good luck with the challenge.

Since my local games are small, I've always just *had* the money I needed to play. So I never kept any winnings ... used it to finish my basement, and buy a new car, etc. But, since I have been travelling lately and seeing where I could get into bigger games, I've been focused on developing an actual bankroll the past couple months. It's interesting. With the bigger games always there in Vegas, it's going to be hard to keep your word to yourself. I know that's the toughest thing for me online -- bankroll management. I think I would just pass by too many juicy games there.

I am going to have to back up Naismith on the RGX girl she is soooo hot.

Jessica Alba was awfully hot in Sin City, but I think the RGX girl just barely edges her out.

Like Maria?

I'm really not that worried about it. I think sticking to the game won't be the hardest thing, I just have to focus. I've told my friends here and stuff what I'll be doing, so I can't come out and say "I just won $3000 at poker today!" and they'll be like "At 1/2 NL?" Basically, i am interested in the challenge and focusing on fundamentals and stuff again. It should be interesting to see how long it takes to move up in limits.

Oh, God, how she hated us.

It's not like I'll ever be dating her or anything. It'd be cool if she was also nice, but being nice to look at is more important.

RGX girl is VERY close, don't get me wrong.

Can we just stipulate that hot is hot is hot. Focus on my problem. Please.

Are you guys talking about the cocktail waitress at the IP?

whats your problem? bankroll management? It is kind of hard to teach self control.

Sin City was so, so, so, so, so bad.

We were so looking forward to it and then left the theater laughing at how bad it was, only to have people constantly ask us if we loved it for the revolutionary and religious experience it was. I honestly don't get it.

No, we're talking about the dealer at Harrah's that Zach sexually harassed to the point where they closed a Crazy 4 Poker table even though the table was full just to get us to leave.

Of course it sounds bad when you put it that way.

I still blame the dozen Jagerbombs we each drank.

And the Newcastle at IP before that.

i thought it was entertaining but a religious experience I don't think so.


Anyone out there play Max Payne?

How would you put it?

Is that a video game? What system?
