****July Poker Chat Thread****

Sweet! I got some digital copies of some poker books last night, 40 in total....

Where did you buy them? (I assume you bought them, otherwise it would be kind of silly to admit to copyright infringement on a public forum).

 

[BelgoSuisse]

Drive safely!

Nonsense! You only start to be a decent driver after you've had your first crash, imo. So drive like crazy and get there faster...

Only half joking here.

driving license > pocket > in
who wants to go to the beach with me ?

You just get your licence today?
At the age of 19? the wait most have been horrible.

Congrats on the licence mate.






I will hopefully be in the UK for a couple weeks in late August and the plan is to drink,go to a PRM game, drink, poker?
Need some help with the poker part. Where are good casinos that lay a 1-2 game (or lower ) or some low buy-in tourneys?

 

[Jurn8]

cmon Everest release my monies !!

been waiting 18 hours now for them to clear my money into moneybookers!!

But the lower legal age for drinking, gambling and a bunch of other enjoyable sins makes the waiting a lot more bearable than moving to a place where you get the licence at 16 but can't drink in a pub till 21.

About that, Annette is at the wsop for the 3rd year without being legally allowed to play, while she won a WSOPE bracelet 2 years ago already. How stupid is that.

Yea, that's pretty ridiculous if you ask me. The law should be changed IMO. I mean, come on, it's only poker. Something like driving or drinking there are lives @ risk, what lives are @ risk while playing poker?

There's nothing hard about driving on the périph.

The 12 lanes wide unmarked roundabout that is the "Place de l'étoile" around the Tryumph Arch on top of the Champs Elysée is the real Parisian challenge.

EDIT: maybe 12 lanes is a bit too much. Hard to say as it is unmarked. Anyway, here's a picture.

Where are you playing that you can show a fold?

 

[Suited Frenzy]

Where are you playing that you can show a fold?

UB has that option. It's titled "Show and Fold" or "Fold and Show", I forget which. Don't know about anywhere else though.

 

[Jurn8]

everest it is WV

 

[c9h13no3]

Fold & show is the best thing ever. Fish try to make so many hero folds in the absolute wrong spots.

Fishes fold ????? Wow.

 

[Crummy]

Where did you buy them? (I assume you bought them, otherwise it would be kind of silly to admit to copyright infringement on a public forum).

I suppose I worded it wrong.... I got "some" digital copies... most are hardback/paperback.... A buddy had purchased all of them and gave them to me last night. However, nice assumption.

 

[c9h13no3]

Fishes fold ????? Wow.

Only when I'm going for thin value and they have me beat

Seriously, I was going for 3 streets with AT on a KTxxx board against a fish, and he folds & shows me K5 on the river.

 

[icemonkey9]

lol, I am not sure who plays on PokerStars here on CC ... seems like everyone bailed. If you do, and you use HEM, you'll need to update to the latest edition :

http://www.holdemmanager.net/forum/showthread.php?t=11641&page=66

The new 5x VPP tables for 6max games won't show up in the HEM HUD if you do not patch your HEM.
