Thx, it seems to have flown by.
Guess I'm a spamwhore.

On another note I just flopped a set of nines back to back on the same table and won a grand total of $5

fwiw im also thinking of dropping out of college next year to pursue poker. Not out of choice, but i've failed so hard at my exams the past week that i may have no choice

. That is a way more degen not so balla reason than photography

WVHillbilly · Jan 20, 2009

FWIW, I'd love to be able to make enough $$ playing poker to go BACK to college. I love(d) school.

And remember children, knowledge is power!

KingCurtis · Jan 20, 2009

Are the beggining steps all turbos? wtf that's quite homosexual imo

yeah but knowing what range to flat on the btn vs. an 18/13 UTG at 6max is +EV and EV can buy power

Honestly I'm prolly going back to school purely for learning in the coming months.

You know how weird it feels and how dumb you seem when you go out with friends who are like becoming doctors in <4 years, and you have nothing to contribute to the conversation except "I PLAY POKER DUDE"...

My area of Toronto blacked out for a whole day/night earlier this week and I had nothing to do but read (The God Delusion ftw). It was so long since I read, I forgot how interesting it can be.

So much win.

I recommend his Selfish Gene and Blind Watchmaker books as well. They're quite a bit heavier (in terms of content) than TGD but oooooohhhhhhh so interesting.

I remember analysing about a billion function curves for inflection points and whatnot back in 13th grade. We specifically asked our teacher "what will we need this for?". He answered, "you won't, unless you want to become a math teacher."

He was right, too.

ChuckTs · Jan 20, 2009

I honestly couldn't get through the selfish gene. I have a newer version with footnotes and references and stuff that literally take up more than a third of the book. A THIRD. Dawkins in that book reminds me of my annoying friend who argues everything to the death, even when he's wrong. Even though I put Dawkins' intellect level several stories higher than my friend, it still bugs me that the whole book is basically an argument.

The other thing with that book is that the language is honestly just too complex for me. I found myself googling/looking through the dictionary at least once per page. It took me like 3 months to read half the book.

before anyone gets on me for this, i would just like to say i was definitely jk. knowledge and education are great. i read quite a lot actually. but i prefer self-education and just don't like the schooling process anymore. or maybe it's just my university and the fact that most of the professors don't give a damn. oh look, powerpoint slides that i will now proceed to read verbatim for you! check it out, i used the typewriter sound effect on this one. for every letter! isn't this cool!

Chris_TC · Jan 20, 2009

Seriously guys, poker is so sick. If I won't make it at 5/10+, I think I'll always be able to fall back to 2/4 or something. I've already mentioned that heads-up is basically free money, but even 6-max is ridiculuos.
I just played 10 hands for fun (I'm slightly drunk), and people give money away to me. Why does everybody suck so much? It's like sitting in the street for 5 minutes and getting handed 100-dollar-bills.

MP: $407.15 (203.6 bb)
CO: $216 (108 bb)
BTN: $288.30 (144.2 bb)
SB: $261.95 (131 bb)
BB: $203 (101.5 bb)
Hero (UTG): $208.25 (104.1 bb)

Pre-Flop: Hero is UTG with T

Hero raises to $6, MP folds, CO calls $6, BTN calls $6, 2 folds

Flop: ($21) T

Q

(3 players)
Hero bets $20, CO calls $20, BTN folds

Turn: ($61) Q

Hero checks, CO bets $24, Hero calls $24

River: ($109) 3

(2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $166 and is all-in, Hero calls $158.25 and is all-in

KingCurtis · Jan 20, 2009

lol so im playing an mtt and in the chat it said I had 100 seconds to type in like 7 letters that prevent bots you know from filling out info on other sites...I was suprised is it just me or everyone, I cant imagine they think i have a bot

vanquish · Jan 20, 2009

i've heard of it happening to lots of people, KC

zachvac · Jan 20, 2009

I would definitely consider going and finishing a degree at some point. It's just so incredibly +life-ev and it's nice to have a back-up plan.

That said I've probably studied/learned more at poker in the last month than I learned in all my classes combined for the year and a half I was there.

This stuff happens at random, not because they think you're a bot. Has happened to me before as well. Just type it in and you'll be fine.

KingCurtis · Jan 20, 2009

ok thanks vanq and chris, just didnt want to be a victim of the random take my money from my account cuz im a bot thing
