Welp both Borders and Barnes & Noble don't have Bill Chen's book, guess i'm going to get it on Amazon.

On a side note, I drank last night and decided to play 2/4. Was up about 600, then blew my wad. Ended up even.

7/27/2007 1:13:15 PM

.25/.50

7/27/2007 1:18:38 PM

buy-in?/rake?

7/27/2007 3:13:17 PM

50 max buyin with no rake.

7/27/2007 3:31:00 PM

wouldn't say too much openly like that, but if anyone wants a regular 1/3 game let me know

would also be interested in a weekly tourny

7/27/2007 3:53:15 PM

I could go for a weekly tourney.

7/27/2007 3:55:41 PM

Weekly tourny....200 bucks or less. Count me in.

7/27/2007 4:03:44 PM

and one with a decent blind structure

7/27/2007 4:07:08 PM

Hendon Mob Shootout $50 + r

Money is 52. I bust around 70. Fuck.

I did last longer than Pearljammer and SCTrojans86 though, but that dosen't put money in my pocket fuckk.

7/28/2007 7:49:26 PM

I am never trying to make the money....i am trying to win the tourney.

7/28/2007 10:21:54 PM

Welp when it's a 6 buck investment to sat my way into it and money minimum is 240. It would be nice.

7/29/2007 1:17:52 PM

Why would you sat. into a 50r when you're not willing to rebuy or add on?

7/29/2007 4:12:38 PM

I did rebuy on my own. Didn't addon on though, was 2x avg stake at break.

[Edited on July 29, 2007 at 6:55 PM. Reason : .]

7/29/2007 6:54:38 PM

then how was it a $6 investment

7/29/2007 6:55:36 PM

I don't care if you are 10X avg stack, I still don't see why you would ever not addon unless you were down to like 1 big blind and were about to go out.

7/29/2007 7:30:07 PM

if that was the case you should have pushed and rebought, then added on during one of the last hands.


you know

unless you were just going to throw away the extra ev gained by not having to pay house rake on your rebuys.




(hey guess what, dead horse time again.. bill chen... addon and rebuy stuff)

7/29/2007 7:51:05 PM

When my M is 60-70 I could care less about an add on, Bill Chen can suck my balls on that one.

7/29/2007 7:57:16 PM

or skalanksy

or raymer

or malmuth

or anyone who has mathematically proven that unless you have enough chips to be CL at the final table at the add on time, it's time to add on..


you know

they're all retards

7/29/2007 7:58:13 PM

Bring that book I requested if you ever come to town Ben.

7/29/2007 8:58:11 PM

whcih one was that

7/29/2007 8:58:32 PM

is it considered bad etiquette to show a bluff?

There was a small discussion about how tight our table was, and no one was bluffing. so a few hands later i showed a bluff (only for like a 30 dollar pot) and this duder jumped down my throat about it.

7/29/2007 9:06:30 PM

then you got what you wanted


showing a bluff induces disruption in a tight nitty boring table

ill usually show either some asanine bluff (i really have a habit of bluffing with the nut low, and showing it.. tabling "NUT LOW, THAT GOOD?") or a big draw to show i'm gambling if the table is tight

7/29/2007 9:07:57 PM

^^^ I think it was about outrageous bets poker players have made in the past or something along those lines.

^^I don't think it is. If you really want to piss them off, slow roll a hand next time.

[Edited on July 29, 2007 at 10:42 PM. Reason : ]

7/29/2007 10:41:32 PM

showing bluffs is just mental part of the game. i don't like people who talk a lot at the tables, but i won't deny that it irritates players and makes them change their approaches. same with this

lucky chances casino in south san francisco. the play is good with the very occasional idiot. i usually go not expecting to make much, but just to get better at my live play before I make my first trip ever to vegas aug 10th

7/30/2007 9:12:13 PM

vegas 1/2 games are a cinch

7/31/2007 1:28:53 AM

How many of you lean towards big MTTs online? Or sats into the MTTs?

How many of you lean towards cash games or SnGs?

7/31/2007 9:27:20 AM

I like MTTs because they are so lucrative, but I usually play STTs since they are less time consuming. I hate ring gamesa, but there is less variance so they have their place.

7/31/2007 10:04:16 AM

played at my golf club last night and almost one. but he won on the river with a king.

haha, but it was a good night for me. did well all night but had a few times, i had the hand until the damn river turned around.

problem is people staying in with shit cards


but i had 4 of a kind last night

7/31/2007 10:25:12 AM

it's just so hard to not register when you see a $5 Sat into a tournament with a 1st price of 90k

sure that's not going to happen...but it could

7/31/2007 10:26:02 AM

Sweet, neteller released my funds, time to find a way into this vmware ipo

7/31/2007 10:59:19 AM

you know

that got me thinking

right before it dropped, i dumped like 3 million neteller points into a drawing, but never checked if i won

sure enough

12k to me TY

7/31/2007 11:57:16 PM

Sheesh, 12K? I sure as hell wasn't dumb enough to store that much in there. My account basically contained my old party poker balance.

8/1/2007 7:33:51 AM

yikes

i could never use that much of my money to play poker

I cringe enough when I deposit $50 in my account, lol

guess that's why I still play $5 SnGs

8/1/2007 8:52:21 AM

built it from a free $10 they gave me back in party days

8/1/2007 9:54:57 AM

Nice, but still no reason to store that much in a non interest holding account such as neteller.

8/1/2007 10:01:19 AM

rabble rabble rabble

8/1/2007 10:05:08 AM

you built 12k out of $10?

not really buying it

8/1/2007 10:53:34 AM

Why not?


Ozzy 87 started with freerolls.


reminds me of one of the hottest things that has ever happened to me gambling...

millionaire online casino, i had done a L750 + L750 bonus there, and they dissallowed bj for wr...

the lowest denomination SL JoB was a L0.5 coinage, for a L2.5 MP.

long story short, i ended up cashing out net -L5 after dropping L750 going through the WR on a shitty run of JoB.

cashed out, ladada

few months later they put L5 in the account for my birthday

i put 1 pull on a FP L1 JoB SL, 4oak on the single pull, woot, up to like L400 in a single pull..

the wr on the gift was wicked high, but on a sweet swing, playing up to L5 fp, somehow ran it to L2500, then cashed out.

it was flippin' hot
