looking at watching some strategy videos this month, anyone know any sites that give you a free trial? ie pokertube has some free ones that are ok.
I'd rather stream them than download them if poss?

When you listen to tool you have to turn them up loud enough that you can feel the bass...

I realize you're not posting this for analysis, but I have to say this: Unless this guy is super-super nitty on the river and never ever bets without the nuts, this is an easy call. By checking back the turn you really, really have to call the river. Inducing a bluff is one of the most important reasons to check the turn to begin with because if you don't think he'll bluff the river at all when you check back the turn, I much prefer to bet turn/check river. Going on the clock on the river decision is almost like slowrolling him.

Yes, youre right, and i was going to call him too.
Just needed some kind of emotion for river pic and stuff and because river paired the board and he decided to bluff it by pot betting it seemed appropriate.

Also the timebank thing is just table ninja clicking it for me before i got to the table. multitabling ya know..

Off track..... noooo never!

Oh btw I just ate two of the Jumbo Speedway Hot Dogs!!! OMG I haven't had one of these in forever! I put ketsup, mustard, onions, chili and cheese sauce on them! Really really yummy...... Then add the chips I bought and the Mt. Dew I'm going to be hating life tonight when I workout!

 

[Emperor IX]

At the Metal forum I frequent it's called "The Longest Thread Ever"

Goes until it reaches 1k posts then it is shut down and a new one is started. We're on part ten I believe. It's in the Pointless Discussions forum. lol

 

[vanquish]

newsflash:

beanies =/= doo rags


doo rags are those things black people tie on their heads :x

 

[ballboy75]

alright, well...sounds like a nice touch to the place.
Ive had the best month ever in September, i built my BR up from nothing to 173$$!!! im hoping this good streak will continue during October as well . Ive only been playing online for about 4 months now and this is the first time i managed to really build something. im totally against depositing so i turned to the freerolls, private ones to be exact.
anyway, sorry to have written a short biography here, i wont blab anymore!!
