Being a Newfie myself, I don't find jokes like these offensive. Of course, I went to high school who were 22-24 but that is besides the point.....

Well that sucked. I turn the computer on to play in the event to find that it was played at 10AM?!?Well they are having another freeroll as a makeup so I'll have to try then. Still kinda sucks though....

The scariest thing about a cult like this is that, usually, when its founder dies, the cult dies with it.Since Hubberd's (sp?) death, Scientology has proliferated....scary thought.

It really depends on what you are looking to play.Casino Niagara carries the lower limit games. They spread limit 2/4, 3/6 and NL 1/2 and occasionally 2/5 depending on interest.Fallsview Niagara spreads the higher games usually. So if you are looking to play higher stakes than mentioned above, you will want to go here.There is also Seneca Niagara on the US side. I can't comment on that one since I haven't been there but most reviews I have read seem positive.

According to Websters:Golf: (n) A lovely outdoor walk ruined by a stupid little white ball.

I was playing in a freeroll tournament on Royal Vegas Poker. A guy (with garbage cards) went all in and another guy (we will call him Jack) called. Jack was a 72% favourite to win....and lost.He went nuts and got all pissed off at the other guy who responded by saying that, since it is a freeroll, he wanted to try to double up early. Jack responded with:"What? Who cares about getting a larger stack if the tournament takes 4 hours to play out anyway?"To quote Dr. Evil...."Right.........."

Bottom line is that the US government just wants their piece of the pie....a really big piece at that.

Play money players are one of a kind.On my lunch break at work, I played at FCP.net in a one table sit-n-go. I ended up in third place...and hadn't played a hand yet!!!That sums it up.

Hey folks.Sorry if you were at my table yesterday. My computer decided to have a hard drive crash and burn so my computer at home is officially deceased. Of course, it decided to happen about 15 minutes before the qualifier (of which I had a free ticket for).....now that is a bad beat.Good luck to the winners.

Anyone get their ticket yet? I didn't finish 7th in the fullcontactpoker.net tournament for nothing (being Canadian, I didn't get into the ESPN tourney).

You can also try the casinos in Niagara Falls.

One of these times that make it great to live in Canada....that and the beer of course.

If you want a free one, try AVG. Otherwise, you could go with something like Norton Anti-Virus.

Hey all.Interesting discussion. So I'll put my two cents in. However, I should give you some background.First off, I consider myself an active Christian. I do believe that Jesus died for my sins. However, in university, I did a biology degree so I am educated in science as well. So, I guess you can say that I'm a student of both science and religion.As a Christian, do I reject the theory of evolution? The short answer is 'no'. The theory has enough evidence to have validity. Some species of whales have vestigal pelvic bones that have no functional use for example....so why do they have

I think it was a good idea to fold as this hand is not a great starting hand for Omaha Hi/Low.You ideally want a hand that could possibly contribute to both the High and the Low. There is no low possibility with this starting hand.Personally, I would have just folded it preflop.

If you are playing online, I would suggest using some sort of tracking software to see where your money leaks are. Just a thought

It may sound divisive but it is the basis of fundamentalist Christianity. A book I refer to skeptics is The Signature of God by Grant Jeffery (https://ww2.micahtek.com/nexolive/nShop_Detail.cfm?CFID=1582295&CFTOKEN=93630641). I don't necessary agree with EVERYTHING he says (e.g.) the Shroud of Turin, but he makes some interesting arguments.

Limit 0.15/0.30 game at Party Poker.Was in big blind with AcJc. Five limpers...I raised. All limpers folded except one in MP and the small blind.Flop: Kh 6c 8cSB checks, I bet, MP folds, SB calls.Turn: (Kh 6c 8c) 7cSB checks, I bet, SB raises, I re-raise, SB calls.River: (Kh 6c 8c) 7c 9cSB checks, I check.SB turns over Jh5c for straight flush....

I have just started one a few days ago...http://microgreenfelt.blogspot.com/

It may have been necessary for the new pokerroom and the "tax" issue that goes with it.

Congrats on your win!

I would also recommend the Lee Jones book. It is a good starting point for those completely new to the game.

Personally, I think that certain books help you to learn to play properly and achieve greater success in the game. However, I do see his point. I think they should be used as a guide but not be followed to the letter as you gain more experience. They will help you develop your own approach to the game. Sure, Sklansky's books may suggest not playing certain hands in early position but over time, you may feel comfortable playing those marginal hands as you get more experience at the table putting reads on your opponents, figuring out their style at the table, and exploiting them as necessary
