As much as I hate to say it I can't blame you..... now just tell anyone that thinks I'm a jerk what a nice guy I am..Thats really nice of you, but Im not sending any money. -
A few of you may remember a post I started 3+ years ago about Katrina. For those that don't I'll give you a brief explanation of what it was about.The day many people evacuated New Orleans from Katrina my wife and I noticed how busy everything was around here (Memphis Tn.). After a bit we realized there were thousands of people in the Memphis area from the Katrina overflow and we wanted to try and help a little. Well we went to a few gas stations and filled up peoples fuel tanks. We also paid for a night or two in a hotel room for an evacutee (SP?).I came on this site telling people about it and how they might want to help someone in need if they see someone from that area.Well I received several responses from people I'd never met (even on the internet) sending me money. They said they wanted to help but they weren't seeing evacuee's in Ohio, Illinois, etc. Anyway, my wife and I were driving around Memphis and northern Mississippi this afternoon (Sun Aug 31) seeing all sorts of Louisiana plates. So if there's anyone interested in helping us help others PM me. I'll give you my address and we can go from there. If you're a total skeptic thinking I might run off with the money then don't bother. I'm not trying to be a jerk about it. It's just that, sure, it's possible I may run off with it never to be heard from again. But sometimes you just have to trust. Oh, my plans are to go buy a bunch of food and cook it at the park across the street feeding dinner to a whole bunch of them. At this time I plan on doing this Wednesday or Thursday night.If you have any questions post them here or PM me.

Is it me or does Cantu play like Hoyt?

I had more than the average stack. I didn't see anyone in deperation mode, besides the guy all in on the BB. So from what I've experienced noone really messes with a decent raise unless they're REALLY strong when someone else is already all in. It's almost like their thinking is they get to see our cards anyway because of the guy all in. (I never really understood that unless it's early and you're trying to gain info)I don't think I'm being results oriented by saying I'm thinking I should have raised a little less so against 3 or 4 I could have folded to a push.Anyway I raised to 5k a girl goes all in for 3 or 4 k more so I obviously called her AA. Next hand I'm in BB caller , raiser, I'm all in to raiser with 77. He has A-10 flopK-9-9turn Xriver K and I'm out.Like I said I'm still wondering if I could have played the 88 better. It's a lil hard to think clearly about it w/o being results oriented.Thanks for this and future help

Ok like 90+ people starting, down to 18 and it pays 10. I have like 15k chips (a lil more than average) and this is my very first hand at the table. This is one of those weekly tourneys at the Gold Strike in Tunica with 20 min blinds.Blinds are 800/1600 blinds 300 antes. I'm UTG and the BB is all in with his last 1600. I had 2 red 8's what do I do? Like I said 1st hand so no reads except 3 of the guys were at my first table of the day and they were all pretty passive. FWIW noone was really desperate low on chips besides BB fella. I don't want to say what I did or why I did it in particularly in a hand like this. But I'd love some feedback.

So I read something and took it as face value. Just like I said in my forst post you might be the coolest thing since sliced bread. So instead of just telling me that something went over my head you took the need to stick the knife in and turn. Fine, keep on being that way. One of these days you'll grow up and the other one will drop.Literally.**For those of you who may not know what I mean by "Literally" there (NicksDad), I am talking about the sexual act between a man and a woman that some refer to as "stroking". -
But you handled it like a mature gentleman. That's one reason this place loses so much traffic. thanksyou don't know fcking shit, because spademan's OP WAS A JOKE. jesus, how dense can you be? -
"Even deleted a post of mine where I said something about sometimes wanting to pee sitting down because it's comfortable!"I guess I am lost. What does that quote mean then?If you're saying you posted that in a public forum and don't understand why that would be frowned upon then I can see where you and I don't agree. I have not read every reply in every thread. Maybe you could point me to some where Bob had abused his authority. All I said is Bob has always been above board to me and everyone I've come across. It's the immaturity and flame wars that are turning this site into something I don't think DN wants it to be. But as you can see I don't post dailyaround here so what do I know?I never made a thread about urinating, you crook-jawed primate.You are so lost right now.Good times. -
A +1 is bad but your posts aren't worse?You're surprised someone would delete a thread of yours that talks about how you choose to urinate? There should be a test before you're allowed to post.Bob has always been more than considerate and professional to me.I don't know who you are and shouldn't have said "posts". You might be the coolest thing since sliced bread. But being ticked that someone deleted or locked a thread about urinating is silly.Who doesn't? (+1's are retarded)*edit* Holy hell there are a lot of +1's. Someone needs to do something about that. -
I'm kind of doing it right now as well. I play a Poker Stars freeroll or two and once I get over 1.00 I play in a .50 tourney.Don't get me wrong I'm not doing well financially right now but my problem is getting money on a poker site right now.I havn't deposited in over a year (since before the neteller deal). I had some decent success followed by transferring money to a friend $25 at a time, withdrawing $500 the week before the Neteller deal, then going on a real bad run with my last 1k.Is there a site where you can talk about meeting up with a person, giving them cash and them transferring money into your poker account? I'm on Poker Stars and FTP.

Congrats I'm looking forward to a trip report. From beginning to end sir.

For me (and many other people I assume) the Tunica buffet is better than many Vegas ones. I was at the Bellagio buffet, paid $27 and there wasn't anything there that the Shoe didn't have. But I can honestly see why some people would like the Bellagio better. They had champagne, a lot more fruit, and it was nicer looking. But free at the Show is better.
-
Well sometimes too much honesty can't be all good. I remember DN saying something like "everyone down here is like 200lbs overweight". I guess truth hurts in all but even when I was in great shape I would have never talked about an entire community that way. Maybe we all have that gland problem

I like DN and appreciate the things he's done and tried to do for a lot of the people who frequent this site. I agree Tunica isn't ever going to match Vegas or just about any other city/town that has a casino. But for us commoners Tunica is a good place to go where you can be treated great. Tunica blows away Vegas as far as comps for the standard player. Try walking into a Vegas casino and ask for a poker rate or a buffet before even sitting down to the table and see what happens. For 95% of all poker players Tunica is as good as any other place. If you're there just to play poker and you aren't playing real high limits it's perfect.If Tuncia is just so bad DN then skip the trip. After all it has been terrible for you.In all seriousness can't you bring in enough quality food for you or have an assistant run up to Memphis to get something that will please you? After hearing you complain about it 2 or 3 years ago I contacted Patti (I think it was) and offered to either bring you some stuff from Memphis or give you the numbers to places that would suit you.I'll proably regret making this post after all the people bash me. But I've been coming to this site for quite some time and even though Tunica isn't the best place I've ever been it gets old hearing people complain about it so much. Especially when people go outside talking about the quality of food etc and start talking about how everyone in Tunica is obese etc.

It wouldn't surprise me if DN bought into the 5k LHE just so he had a reason to not have to answer all the same old questions every break. That would get old fast. But next time I'm in Vegas if I see him I'll probably ask him the same exact ones.

I say this every year when this same topic comes up. But RWIII is not only one of the nicest poker players. He's one of the nicest people I've ever met.

If you want to see some real spoilers go look around 2+2. There is a VERY credible person spilling his guts.

Does DN ever play in these anymore.

I guess this is one reason my house won't sell.

FCP is blocked by corporate and I'm about to leave the house. Could someone PM me (since I don't have time to read 16 pages) and let me know if anyone called Starbucks corporate office to see what their stance is on this?thanks in advance

I'm all for honesty but in this case I'd tell her that the catran away.My wife and I had to put the family cat down last year due to cancer and we told the kids the truth. Our kids are 10,8,6, and 15 months. The 10 and 8 year old were a little sad but I think they understood. The 6 year old doesn't give a crap about anything really, kind of odd.My 16 year old cat has a mass in her abdomen. The vet is going to do surgery tommorow, but things don't look very good and they'll probably "put her down". It's sad, but she's lived a pretty good life. I rescued her when she was abandoned as a kitten.Anyway, my real problem is how it will affect my 3 year old daughter. I'm divorced, and only see my daughter every other weekend. My daughter loves the cat. When we talk on the phone, the first thing she asks is to talk to "Spitzie". I feel comfortable in talking with my daughter about the death, but I'm not sure if she should see the dead cat and/or help with a burial. I definitely don't want her to come to visit and the cat just be gone.Any suggestions? -
The button had AA and the BB had 10-10

My decision on the flop was not really if I should call the 100, because I knew if I called it I might as well push. Because then on the turn there would have been about 465 in the pot and unless it came and A, K, or a spade then what else could have hurt my hand.Needless to say it was much easier to fold when the BB called the flop. I'm pretty certain I would have folded anyway.I agree with Des Moines, it's very read dependent.I don't mind checking the flop to him, because he got in the last bet preflop.I think if you do want to move in, the best place to make a stand is to check/push on the flop. Give him the tough decision, and take away postflop decisions on later streets. -
If I had a raise and a reraise to me I don't think I'd reraise the min with AK. I'm not nearly as advance as many others in NLHE but is that something you would do in that situation?You're right about read dependent. The BB is a very loose tricky player. He's very willing to make a less than marginal call in hopes of hitting a flop and busting us both.For the most part the guy in the BB is a better player that I am. I'm pretty sure that is anyway. HE seems to read weakness very well. There was more than one time I'm sure he made some very big moves with total air.He has a gear I don't have at this time. I have a pretty tight image. Because of my tight image I had to bluff him at least once maybe one hour prior to this hand. (I really think that had ZERO % to do with the way he played this hand) Anyway I raised to $13 PF he called OOP. The flop came KJx rainbow. I knew he'd bet out because he knew I was a tight player. HE knew if I had anything I'd raise and he'd give it up. Anyway he led out for 25 on the flop. I raised it to 70. HE folded. I pushed my cards for him to look at. I had 3-5os.He was surprised to say the least.Button has AK. BB might have QQ, too. You'd have to think he'd re-raise with AA KK. Smooth call there screams QQ or JJ. This is HIGHLY read-dependent. I might go all in, too. I might fold. What do I read?

I went to the Red Cross tonight (with wife and 2 y/o daughter in tow) and they sent us to Target and Kroger to get some stuff for the people at the shelters.The first shelter we went to had a capacity of 150 people. There were 281 people there. All I can say is wow, there were a lot of uncomfortable people there. The next place had a capacity of 150 and had 174 there. Everyone was real nice to me except one lady said the towels I was giving her had germs on here....mmmmmmmmmm k.We just walked in the door at like 130 am and we're going back out at 730 am. I was going to take a bunch of pics but it became obvious to me that it wouldn't be proper to take a bunch of pics of em while they were trying to live n all.
