****OMG its the Rocktober Poker chat thread****

[Effexor]

the regular ones at FTP are infested with shortstackers, and some nights there are barely any 200nl deep tables running, while i always find plenty of those at 100nl. I do hope FTP does something to address the ss issue. Doug has hinted they would in the FTP update threads at 2p2. I hope it's not just an empty promise.

QFT

Is it just me, or has the shortstacking gotten really out of hand. I don't remember it being this bad a year ago. It's gotten to the point where I am joining and leaving tables at a rediculas rate to try and have less than 3 SS scum MF'ers at the table.

I think the minimum BI should be 100 SB's and the max 100 BB's.

This is what happens when you play the opponent's stats (high showdown rate) and forget about your own cards ...

How many languages - without anyone cheating and using Google Translate or Bable Fish or anything like that - can we translate "waffle" to using the chat thread crowd?

I'll start:

Swedish: "våffla"

 

[Jurn8]

1)Hi guys!
2) I cba to get involved with the CC/UCP arguing
3) Some swedish dudes sat infront of me in my lecture today! Hi FP I thought!
4) Uni is so unorganised its a joke!
5) I got 100% on my first assignment LOL!

 

[tenbob]

"vauiféal" I think, well closest Irish word.

 

[Jurn8]

Waffle - English! does that count?

 

[switch0723]

Went to Dave and Busters last night..... If you've never been there its AWESOME! Check them out: http://www.daveandbusters.com/default.aspx

So they have the Poker Heads Up Challenge that was a big buzz a while back... This thing is awesome! My wife and I played twice and had some fun! First game we coin flipped about 20 minutes in I had 99 she had AJ and I won. Later in the night we played again and she slow rolled me with AA .... She is unpredictable in poker! I actually e-mailed the company that makes these units for pricing on their home unit... If it is priced right I might buy one of these for my basement!

The best part of the night was when we were playing this game that consist the person hitting a button and a ball dropping down onto a spinning table with a bunch of wholes in it... Each hole has a number which is the nuimber of tickets you win. Two holes were almost half the size of the rest, one of them was a "jackpot" while the other was 150 tickets. Of course we were going for the jackpot, which at the time was 400 tickets. My wife was playing and her ball got stuck on the spinning table and wouldn't drop into a whole. So a game tech came over and started swiping his card and was dropping balls to try to get her ball to move. Her ball was right on the jackpot hole so at the same time he was trying to hit the jackpot..... Well about 10 balls later and a couple dozen tickets he got her ball to move. He then swiped his card another 10 times and said "have fun" and walked away.... Were like what about the credits and tickets you left, he was like, no they are yours now! So he walked away and my wife takes 5 turns and I take the remaining 5. On my second turn I HIT THE JACKPOT!!!!! It was awesome. The thing started flaghing red and yelling "WE HAVE A JACKPOT WINNER" Haha it was awesome.. So after some basketball, coin drops and other games the wife and I cashed in a a a little over 2000 tickets togeather!

What language is that?

I'll add "vovåfoffofloloror", Swedish "rövarspråket". Somewhat similar to pig-latin, but, eh... Different.

Well, I'm actually playing now. But I just haven't had time. Thought I was going to south carolina at 3 pm but apparently we're not leaving til 11. So I can get a session in now.

 

[Pokertron3000]

Brag- Going to Australia for 3 months next month! Some poker monies went towards flight. Got the all clear from a colonoscapy this week!

Beat- Had a cam shoved through my body not nice and lost 4 buyins playing while high off the sedative, nice!

Gonna play some poker later see if I can put some of the middle game stratagy from Colin Moshmans book into play, a few people in the sng thread are/have reading it and although I havnt fully read it all I speed read just to see what it was like now I am trying to study it more, hope people are winning monies today!

 

[F Paulsson]

I would, only they sound a lot like they have some horrible phlegm stuck in their throats.
