Then he's an idiot for set mining at a CAP table. You'll make plenty of money from him long term.

I thought the same exact thing. I had put him on AQ. Thanks for the support, I appreciate it.

+1.

also, you start to have the proper attitude for this game when your reaction to seeing 55 is not but because you know villain is losing long term and you're winning long term by playing this way.

I wouldn't normally. I hate being out of position but I always play over pairs - JJ, QQ, KK, AA - to the board aggressively after the flop. The only time I have checked in that situation if I knew my opponents' tendencies enough to know for a 100% certainty that they would bet the flop no matter what and that they would fold if I came out betting (usually a complete over agg, weak, maniac.) Then I would come over the top.

Apparently FTP also set up a way to donate for Haiti and match your donations 100%.

They also have special tournaments orange-colored in their lobby when buy-in equals rake, rake goes to haiti fund and they match that.

Or you can transfer to the "Aid For Haiti" user.

[Debi]

I donated at Pokerstars already - will prob do a bit at FT as well.

 

[S93]

Needs quoting.
Its not like a few $ is gonna make or break any one here but thouse people need every $ they can get.
Pretty awsome of PS allways doing this when a disaster hits some where, i know its obvs good press for them but still nice of them imo.

just looked at the tourney thingy and so far there have been 60K donated+ another 60K from PS and then what ever people transfered.

Haiti made the Caribbean what it is today and it hurts to see this happening. Just going to try and donate as much as I can but this obviously hits very close to home.

ftp ssnl regs thread at 2+2 has introduced a nice rule that instead of posting beats and coolers ITT, people post pictures of scantily clad women instead. Makes for a much nicer reading experience, imo. Although unfortunately that thread is now NSFW.
