    Phill Laak Thailand Story

    [quote name='Potomophobia' date='Friday, August 3rd, 2007, 11:09 PM' post='2055165']First, I have to quote "wowthats": "The half that does vote are to stupid to understand what or who they are voting for."I would be careful about calling people stupid. The errors in the above statement are more than you can comprehend.

    First you have to be able to read and comprehend what I wrote first, then and only then should you make reference to what I Heard and liked.

    My job takes me to LV frequently, I do not consider myself to be on the inside of the happenings in Vegas, I do have friends that are in the inner circles. On many occasions each has said they think it very sad television is creating idols out of people who are out right bad people or should be in jail. Only a few names are never mentioned, I can say, I have heard every cheating, wife beating, drug addiction, robbery, burglary, bad person and so on stories. I consider some rumors / stories to be fabrication however there are some stories that so detailed that it turns your stomach.A saying I heard and like: Half the people in this country don't vote. The half that does vote are to stupid to understand what or who they are voting for. Do you really think people care?

    $1 dollar per win is enough should the pot be over $20 -- A point to consider -- the dealer is risking nothing -- unless the dealer makes a mistake what is going to happen is going to happen. Therefore $1 per win is enough -- should you feel compelled to give more -- that is your decision.

    A Table Full Of Retards

    Last night and at the las minute I decided to play in live 80 person NL Sit - n- Go. The table was very friendly with open discussion about anything and everything. We had been playing 10 to 15 minutes, I am dealt A-4os and looking at a raise to call, I fold. Four players behind me call.Flop: 4s-5c-5sSB makes it 1200, button raises to 2400, all players call.Turn: AsAll check to the button, button bets out 3500, one fold three callersRiver: 9sCheck to the button, button goes all-in, all the players fold.Player in seat 6 in disgust grabs his cards and says "I can't believe you caught runner-runner spades for flush" then turns over his cards 4-4 showing he had a full house.Here is the best part "three players at the table after seeing his cards say (you just got unlucky that flush killed your cards). The winning player starts laughing almost hysterical, Me, I am stunned. I say "did you know a full house beats a flush"? I hear "are you sure"? I don't respond.Now it gets even better - The same scenario repeats itself 10 minutes later with the same players and one very experienced player, the experienced player is the one who folder the full house this time.I am sure there is a lesson to be learned here, I am just not sure what it is.

    Home Game Wtf Ruling

    1) from above, if it's me that is called and I want to muck, but see his hand without showing mine, I should say "playing the board" which would force opponent to show

    I wouldn't recommend doing this, to many people in homes do not understand that the cards play, not what you call plays. This may lead to more confusion when playing with people who do not understand the rules or played by obscure rules when they were growing up.When I play in homes games I always ask.1. Are there any rules you play by that I need to know about?2. Are you playing by Vegas rules?

    Home Games = Always Establish the rules upfront, make sure everyone understands the rules and how they will be interrupted.Note: Playing online or in casinos is tough enough, playing in home games where the semen pool of the genetically challenged is playing is another topic.

    Wil Wheaton

    I am trying to figure out if gmanshade is actually jealous of Wil Wheaton or suffers from low self esteem. I also don't not understand the odd attraction to Brandi Hawbecker, more than likely she is out of gmanshade's league. However assuming she isn't, what can you offer Brandi that Capt. Tom didn't?

    Gambling Problem

    You either have a gambling problem or a issue of understanding the value of dollar, probably both. Based on $12K tuition per semester it appears your family has been successful. You do not respect what you have, you expect it and since you have not worked for anything of value in your short life spam. You are having trouble accepting the fact you may have a problem.Gambling will always be there, get your education first, make something out of you life, then become a professional gambler.Motto I have always lived by: I have plenty of time to screw up my life, today is not the day to start.Good luck to you...
