That's sad. Very, very sad. :cry:I really liked him in Happy Days too.

This was a story of Stu's life and what he did in the gambling world and how self destructive he was. As far as a "poker movie" it was all right, but it gave you just a little glimpse of the genius that stu was when it came to reading people and the cards. In that respect, I wish it showed more of his life than it did.

You're

So the Lord of the Rings movie, is it as good as the book?

So what you're saying is, he waited untill the hand was over then he left, that was the funny part? I find it funny seeing what people play and actually winning with especially after I have folded what would've been the winning hand.

Oh Hell No. there isn't a poker game big enough for me to quit playing poker for ever. Maybe after 45 years of winning i'll quit, but after just 1 tournament, forged-aboud-it.

there are several poker sites I play most often. Poker Rewards, Stars, and Full Tilt. I really like Fill Tilt's layout with the round table, you can put yourself anywhere on the table and play. I found that most pleasing especially when I'm haveing a really bad run of cards I position myself in another spot and it seems like a new deck has come out and after a couple of hands I start getting better cards. I play Poker Rewards because I was in a "free" league in Nebraska and I can play free online poker to win real money. And Stars is where i first started playing online poker. So I hav

Exactly, the 5 lowest cards w/o pairing. takes the pot. But being a home game, it's all for "fun" anyway. it's not like you're paying your mortgage with the home game winnings anyway. as long as everyone is having fun, that's what matters. I never took my home game very seriously. Sure I'm competative and want to win everyones money and show them who the best is, but there are times I love watching the expressions on their faces and agonizing over a call that makes losing a hand very enjoyable too. I like screwing with their heads.

Just ate lots of turkey...triptophan kicking in...must sleep now....Have a great Thanksgiving everyone.

Everyone remembers, with great detail, their losing hands and sessions, but few can recall, with any amount of certainty, their winning hands. I can remember just about all the bad beats I've taken, but not all the big pots I've won. It's easier to relate a bad beat storie than a winning storie.

I'm actually in the middle of ToP and SS. Reading both at the same time. I'll have to re-read ToP a couple of times to understand, comprehend it and put in terminology best suited to me. other than that, Both, IMO, are great books.

Drinking, fighting, cussing, falling down, waking up in the ditch and having everyone tell me i was all alone tonight.

I like listening to Pink Floyd especially playing online. A lot of their older stuff is really out there. you really need to be in the right frame of mind.

Thanks, I guess DN was just playing around when he bought in for 125K into the 5/10 NL game ion one of his earlier entries. Yes, ive been wondering how he came up with that amount for that long.

If this has been brought up befor I apologize. How do you calculate what the appropriate buy in is for a $1/2, $3/6, $5/10 NL games. is there a formula or is it just a guess. Thanks

I'm reading this book right now called "winnin at internet poker for Dummies" It's actually pretty good. I'm suprized.

I wish I could get those small suited pairs. Damn. :wink: - JordanSuited pairs are my favorite hand to play. we are talking multi deck, multi draw, w/ wild cards right?

Damn, miss one day of posts and look what happens. Okay, put me on the alternate alternates list. Thank you and have a great day.

I'm a native new englander so my accent wouild be down east southern. Ayuh!

UTG raises 2x the BB blind. that is before the cards ar in the air.

every once and a while you have to get away from the grind that is the rest of your life and take a break. Glad to hear Vegas isn't all work an no play. Ferris Bueller once said "Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once and a while, you could miss it."

..............................miller can comes crashing down, from above!LOL So True.

I just moved from the mid-west (Omaha) and playing at Harrah's in Council Bluffs they didn't allow live straddle in their NL games but do allow it in their limit games. Shouldn't the Harrah's corporation have a uniform policy across thier entire casino chain so when i visit another casino i can expect the same rules where ever i play?
