Aaron and Erin sound completely different. I guess that Aaron sounds like Darren without the D, but you guys may well pronounce Derryn and Darren the same, so thats probably no use.In other news, i still suck at poker, and kick arse at blackjack. After tilting off my $1700 poker stack on Monday i went to Blackjack and won 3k in 6 minutes. Starting at 125, igot to 1000 (max) and hit blackjack, then won a few more smaller bets. I also have a 'date' with that girl i met playing poker a few weeks back. Thats progress for me...its been a while. Stories and photos to follow next week.

Super quiet in here the last couple of days.I had an awful weekend poker wise, which is all that really matters in life. On Saturday i was down 5 buyins, its 9.50am, and i have a bus to catch at 10.10. I walk over to Blackjack with $125 in loose chips, win/chop 8-10 hands in a row, and walk away with 2k....which didn't quite cover my losses, but every bit helps. I've been playing low stakes online for the last 3 days to try and stop my loose play...having mixed results. I actually withdrew most of my online money to stop me from those casual visits to 5/10 and 10/20nl. I was playing 8 tables,

I was under the impression you found such activities morally repugnant. To avoid offending anyone (you mostly) i've decided to stop telling stories that end in my paying for 'hand relief'. Unless its with another guy of course. Haven't hadany of those unfortunately.

Sorry about that...wrong forum. BBFIDTS right?I've had a pretty average week of live poker, played 4 sessions at the casino (30 hours+), won every session, finished up a total of 1.2 buyins. Thats some serious $$$ per hour. Talking (Ethiopian) minimum wage at least. I did get 18 hours of straight sleep last night though, so i'm feeling high as a kite. Actually met a really cute girl in the poker room on the weekend, which is a nice change for me...since i dont get out much. Shes all of 18, we have nothing in common from what i can tell, but she seems to be fairly materialistic...and i have lo

In anyone familar, and can offer some advice on playing Big 2?Its evidently a form of Chinese Poker, and its the 'in' game at the poker club nearby. I started playing it a few nights back and got trounced, whichis something i want to avoid for next time.I'm sure Wang knows it...He is a poker dealer after all

You sure put a lot of work into that Zimmer. Appropriately enough considering we've been stuck on page 4141 all night (At least for those who view in 20/pages).I've been playing a lot online these last few days, mostly 2/4nl SH on FT. Most of my hands are holding up. The thing that frustrates me is making big mistakes, and i've made a lot of them since i started up again. I'm alternating between weak tight and weak loose, which i've heard are not the ideal styles...I bought a sweet 32" LCD TV to use as my poker monitor this morning. Its probably way too close, and i'm getting a headache from l

Thanks to my screwed up body clock, its just on 7 in the morning here and i'm yet to get to sleep. The least you guys could do is post more so i have something to read.I played online poker for the first time today in two weeks. I got an email from Full Tilt offering a free $500 in bonus to work off, so i've been hard at work for most ofthe day on that. I've managed to clear $98.40 in free money...plus i almost tripled my FT bankroll, so its been a productive day.

Ron: Yeah, most of our taxi drivers are foreign. No Americans. Mostly Chinese. Live poker went good today. Up 5 buyins. Played fairly well, and the cards co-operated for a change. Started playing blackjack while waiting for my seat...which is not something i normally do. Down 500 early, so i put 100 straight up, doubled up to 200, doubled up to 400, won that, and decided to stop...finished up a few hundred there. Excuse the poker content - i leave a pretty dull existence, and poker is a big part of it....

Morning all.Got home early from the Casino tonight, so decided to play some online poker and catch up on the thread. I actually ran pretty well during the time it tookme to read those 17 pages. See attached pic.I started playing online again a few weeks back, and the swings are insane. And by swings, i mean some days i play well, and do ok,other days i play like **** and lose. Pretty much every losing session has been my fault...but i'm learning. I joined up to the Cardrunners site and started playing SH NL forthe first time...its completely different to how i used to play, but i'm picking up

A few years back i went through a minesweeper-craze. I was literally playing 6+ hours a day. Best times:B-1sI-18sE-56sI used to take screenshots whenever i broke a record. Not sure if i still have them.As Eddie said, when you get to a 50/50 situation the idea is to make the guess as soon as possible, though sometimes one option is going to be more helpful in clearing thearea than the other - so you might as well make the +EV guess...

Hello All,Currently using the public internet access at the crown casino in melbourne. Things are going well so far - having a good time, and playing a fair amount of poker (though i'm getting a little poker-tired). Its still a few days before the Aussie Millions, but some of the pros have arrived, and its interesting to see them in person. I played on a cash table with Shannon Elizabeth yesterday, which was distracting...Kenna James was also there, though he didn't last long. He made a few 'questionable' plays and dropped a couple of buyins.
