Tell that to those guys...

Pink is the color of the local rugby team here in Paris...

Oh, you ballsy French and your transcendent sense of style. Too bad in the future it is all forgotten.

Enty your obvs just so insecure about your sexual orientation that your scared that if u say u like pink it might sway you toward homosexuality .

JK .

BTW, eNTy, if you don't like the pink rugby shirts, you can see the same players without the shirts (or anything else, tbh) here: http://french-rugby-players.com (NSFW)

Im f'kin spewing hard lately. I win moniez at 100nl, then I go to PLO, LHE, SNG's, Steps or 200NL and pay most of it back ahasdfAHGFagsfJGSFhagsfAHGSFhgfsHAGSFhgasfHAGS!!!!!

Solution: Never play PLO cos it's rigged, never play SNGs cos they're retardedly swingy, LHE is just ghey and 200nl? Meh, put it down to variance

What makes it really bad is that they limped UTG w/ it first then called an all-in. They still had 9k left, there's no reason to do that but I wasn't complaining...

meh its an mtt calls like that happen all the time

Yes, it happens all the time, & yes it's standard everywhere.

The point for saying that the all-in was the best move there is because I had 3 others behind me in the pot already & the BB still to act. I wanted to isolate & I had been sitting w/ those players for a long time & knew that they called off 1/3 sometimes 2/3 of their stacks preflop on 7-8 x the BB raises. As you can see, I isolated it down to 1 player & it just happened to be the player w/ the most chips that already had chips in the pot.

I didn't get any callers on this all-in though...

Doesn't the converter count the antes & blinds in the potsize?? It wasn't 9003 after I called the 2k pre, it was 14,250

Yeah was just bored with the grind, thought I would just play around. Deffo the -EV thing to do as this month as I would have been on route for my best month ever, probably still could if I run ok.

When you just want to play around, move down 2 or 3 levels for that...

 

[Crummy]

So I brought some chips here into work to shuffle... I did it for a few reasons... One because I love to shuffle chips... (don't ask why). The second reason is because it reminds me of my football, basketball and baseball years in high school...Mostly football.... Coaches had us carry a ball around school every few weeks to "bond" with the ball.... Sounds odd I know... but it make us want it even more and want the win even more each week.... So this helps me stay hungry for poker all the time!

Anyway I've been shuffling these bad boys night and day and my wrist is killing me! Mostly my forearm... I gave other thoughts on what it could be, but I believe its 100% the chips!!

Just thought I'd share that with you guys!

watch out for that carpal tunnel, crummy

Yeah I think I already have a form of that from sitting at a computer for hours a day!

Hey ChuckT....how did you like FallsView casino overall? Good poker room?

Two friends of ours are wanting us to go with them to the casino sometime soon... My wife and I have to get our passports anyway, so this trip will help speed that up on our side!

I've been doing the same thing (just at lower stakes haha) winning at nlhe and going back and dumping at limit playing like a goofy fish

The other thing i have going right now is my BR is at a psychological barrier (again!) and I seem to tend to sabotage myself when I reach a number with zeros in it.

 

[Debi]

And here I sit in the Las Vegas airport... minutes away from my beloved Venetian lol.

I have tried very hard to miss my flight to Atlanta - but Joe is here to make sure that does not happen.

Didn't go to the fallsview - they only spread 2-5 and up which I couldn't afford at the time.

I was at casino niagara most of the time which spread 1-2. OK room I guess...nothing special, but the service was fine, as were the dealers. They gauge a bit on the rake iirc.

 

[Crummy]

I might have to stop at the Casino Niagara as well if they are up for it! I'd rather play 1-2 than 2-5.

que ?

 

[Johnnybmoto]

Tried my hand at mass multi tabling for the last hour or so. Playing 20-24 tables of 1/2 limit.

Not as hard as it may seem, but can't see myself doing it day in and day out going for SNE. Guess I'll have to move up in a few years when I go for it.

Just gonna go for SN next year, which shouldn't be to hard. Could probably do it this year but would have to play 5-6 hours 20 tabling 1/2.
