My good God, been reading 2+2 for the last few hours, the pure arrogance of some of the posters there makes me so sick. I really feel like posting an open leeter to Mdonk and PkrMan, total dickwasds .

Christ, their arrogance is really annoying me atm. In fairness how would the average CC poster feel if myself, Rex, Debi ect demanded to be on a comittieeeeeeee to rep the average stars player, fcuk off and die plz.

lol yeah general rule is most 2p2 posters aren't that good at poker so talk a lot and pretend they're leveling to hide that fact. I pretty much only stick to the FR section that's usually pretty good (most of the posters are actually good at poker and not too many have huge egos). If you read bbv, NVG, or Internet Poker (I just had a limited sample from being in there for the FTP deep tables thing) it's pretty bad though lol.

 

[zachvac]

lol playing with this on loop all day, warning pretty sick/bloody video and language, don't listen with little kids in the room :

YouTube - Eminem - 3am

 

[CCAdmin]

Hmm not a huge fan of the new Eminem tunes. They are OK I guess. Love most of his old stuff, more of the catchy radio stuff though rather than hardcore rap.

Yeah old > new obv but after his last one he put out I was like wtf is this crap but this one is at least good and I think it helps me run good while playing poker .

When it asks me if I want to update and I click Ok it just closes the program :\. It was working fine I was playing and stopped, tried to check my cashier and it wouldn't load, so I close it and now this happens when I try to open it again.

 

[dsvw56]

Just fired up Stars, hangs on the "Contacting Site" part of the updater. No internet pokers tonight I guess.

Congrats, man! Job offers are especially gratifying in today's economy. You gonna be teaching?

 

[switch0723]

you guys didnt see the fun of actually being looged in without the new update then.

tables were effectively 5 max, since if anyone left a table instead of being replaced with 'empty seat' there were replaced b the solid block thing so noone could sit there, no new tables were made in lobby either so all became jammed up AND in the lobby it would say like players - 7, you open it and it has 7 players and 2 blocked in seats

 

[switch0723]

I have also lost the past 7 times i have got it all in pre against a reg with the old aces and kings combo, whether ive had the aces or the kings

Yea, it's only a one semester job, for maternity leave, but it hasn't been announced yet officially. I was told tonight after a concert I played that they wanted to ask me first if I was interested. Of course, if I find something full time, I would go with that instead, but it feels awesome to know that I'm going to have something somewhere!

 

[kleitches]

The Stars lock-up probably explains why the $3k guarantee had so little players registered for it. I only saw like 300 players with 14 minutes to go, and I had full intentions to play the tourney. But of course my stupid ass has to close down stars and try to install the update first. Sigh, guess I won't be playing.

 

[SeanyJ]

Ovechkin is such a stud.

Embarassed myself in the CC game tonight so have to post something positive...good start to May.

Ignoring the way you played this hand, this is the classic fish line. Barrel "semi-bluff air" then hit a really big hand and check w/ 1/2 psb on river with the intention of c/cing coz all of a sudden they are scared they won't get called by worse or something even though your calling range is 100000 times wider than your river betting range. So although they could get called by so much worse, villain would never ever bet worse on the river nor bluff on this board vs a bad player.

Honestly, i think you can try to over read a fish's range/line sometimes coz they just do such ****ing stupid stuff.

Man i wish i was belgo, only having 1 downswong and that only being ~6 buyins sounds cool right about now

the graph is in BB, not in bb. The 1 downswong is about 15 buyins.
