Good job! Although you missed the money, you did well.And yes, all the tourneys I've played in, the levels were longer. Once again, congrats!

While its sweet to see everyone defend Daniel, I think the definition of the word parasite and then the OP's description of Daniel are two very different things. Even the question asked of Daniel immediately after the dictionary.com definition has no relation to the word parasite. We can only surmise that the OP is a jealous, angry person and we should feel sorry for them. Their existence must be a miserable one.Now, back to American Idol...

I think, and correct me if I'm wrong, most people who answered have played in live LO8 events and I don't know what TV TwoFourOffsuit is watching, but I personally never have seen any LO8, tourney or otherwise, on TV.I've played from $250 up to $1000 entries and none had 30 minute levels. Is that pricey? lol

I've noticed a trend in reading everyone's list. Die Hard is mentioned often! (I own all three on dvd but still watch any one of them when they are on TV). It might be of interest to know that "Live Free or Die Hard" has an expected realease date of June 29/07! wooo hooo can't wait!short sample of the long list of movies I watch repeatedly...Galaxy QuestPrincess BrideEvil Dead's (all three of them)Little NickyOceans ElevenO' Brother Where Art Thouand while in George Cloony mode, From Dusk Till Dawn

Best advice!Good luck and have fun!

I completely agree. I also believe that no site or even Howard Stern or the terrorists can sway the voting that much. Besides I lurk at some AI forums and believe it or not, there are people that actually like Sanjaya. I, am not one of those people!But I havta admit, if I had to choose between watching Sanjaya or Chris sing, I'd choose Sanjaya! Listening to Chris's nasally warble is like listening to fingers on a chalk board to me yet others love the guy. That just proves that we all have different tastes which is big reason people love the show. It's our diversity that gives us the od

Actually, the purpose of the show is to make money. Simon's personality, keeping bad singers in the top 10, having Haley dressed like a sex kitten, Blake spitting all over the place while he beat boxes... has nothing to do with changing the music industry, having someone win or defining the music industry. It's all about the $$$ and AI doesn't need a winner to get that $$$.It's entertaining fluff that has made AI the juggernaut it is and unless Sanjaya has been living under a rock, he knew exactly what he was getting into and judging by his hair-do last night, he's enjoying and having fun

Tis true!!! iwantitall, bdc30 and I are speaking merely of the Orleans 4/8 game. An example of one hand that stands out in my mind...I had A21010. Flop was 10 3 6. Turn was another 3. It was capped between myself and one other lady. The river was another low card giving me nut low as well as my boat. Capped again. Lady mucked. As I was scooping my pile of chips, she said she had "flopped nut boat" implying that I turned her. Flopped nut boat. When the flop was 10 3 6. And that, my dear O8 friend, is the level of quality players at the Orleans 4/8 game! I can give more examples

I just got back from Vegas a few days ago.There was nothing at the Venetian when we checked for a game there and the Wynn had a 10/20 with 1/2 kill one day we checked and on another day had the same game plus a 20/40 with half kill. However, if you want low limit against players who will gladly pay you because they aren't sure what they are doing, the Orleans always has a 4/8 with half kill going. If your patience is of high levels against horrible players, this is the profitable game for anyone who knows how to play the game.

The point of the pundits is that the trucks, ships, planes etc. that supply that supermarket that is convenient give off WAY more emissions than one's drive to a distant market to buy local foods.I personally shop at supermarkets so I can't say if it's possible to do this however I watched a show on a couple that do. They live in Ontario where it is possible. I would like to see them (those "thems" you know) make show about people in... say Las Vegas or another harsh climate location, but I have the feeling that these same "thems" would say to move to an area where it can be done.Like I sa

Hey, I'm just passing along the info from the pundits! Don't shoot the messenger!

To those that do believe we are the cause of global warming here are some simple solutions and they don't include selling your SUV to someone else who will be using it; (Please note that I am neither agreeing nor disagreeing with anything said here)1. Do not let your car idle. Turn it off if you are waiting for something/someone. 2. If you live in a cold climate, do not warm up your car before driving. The toll driving with a cold engine on your car is less (they say) than the toll it takes on the environment.3. As of this moment, stop shopping at supermarkets. Only buy food (that in

According to Wikipedia's rules for Texas Hold'em, there are hard and fast rules.

I would have taken a peek by limping in. To assume all the A's are already dealt out is to assume that people only will play with an A in their hand which is not the case. I clearly remember one hand I was in where I had A's (along with a nice low so I did call a raise on puck) and there were 6!!! people in the hand. An A hit the flop. The board pair on turn was nice too but the A on river was even nicer. The person with a full house raising me also didn't hurt.However, I have folded A's to a raise in a situation where I don't have suits or low to go with them. Just hasn't happened oft

Sunday night $200 Omaha 8 limit tourney on Stars. It's getting pretty close to the money and it was a struggle for me the whole way. I was low in chips and was just waiting for my hand to move in with. It finally came. AA26 double suited. I raised preflop and a person who doesn't quite understand the game reraised. Everyone folded including the blinds and I pushed my last tidbits of chips in. They showed 410KK. 410kk. This is Omaha 8. They reraised me with 410KK. So Pokerstars decided to slap me in the face. The flop? 44K. The turn and river made no improvement for me either for

so were were discussing AAxx vs AA29 double suited PF no? Here you mention after the flop. I still stand by my statement that AA29 double suited is a lot better than AAxx PF. As for rebuying; this was a tourney.Navybuttons; TY I didn't know I wasn't supposed to post results and wont in future! The check on turn vs me pushing pot seems to be the agreed mistake here. That is exactly what I wanted to know which is why I posted "where was my mistake?".However, like I said previously, I'm not sure I wouldn't do the same thing should this come up again but I will make a conscious effort to que

AAxx is a lot different than AA29 double suited.You are very lucky that you never have a small stack. Chamonyx; I think at the time I was thinking that I had the nut low draw, nut flush draw and A's so I wanted to build my stack. I gambled on the turn and lost. I'll have to re-think that move if I find myself in the same situation. My kneejerk reaction probabaly will be th same lol

I guess I just assumed by posting her hand that it would be obvious she wasn't a thinking player. Instead I will just say... This isn't a thinking player. Now, at that particular time, I was low in chips and thought this was a good time to make my move. However, in playing O8PL a little more often now, I must admit that I have never run into so many non-thinking players in my life! Any four they play and bet pocket pairs like it's hold'em and two pair on the flop is like gold to them all.So, in retrospect, I think I'll have to play more timidly in any situation from now on because you

This particular person was not a tricky player (which is obvious with her call of no pair, no flush/strait draw and only second low draw on the flop).However, your suggestion of checking the turn to hope for a board pair would have me ending up in the same situation of being knocked out if I pushed once the board paired.So are you saying that I should have checked the turn and then folded on river when she bet her trips assuming she would have?

Im in a $20 O8PL tourney on stars. I am dealt A A 2 9 My chipstack before this hand; 2774. UTG limped in for 150. Her chipstack; 3104. I raised the pot - 525 to 675. Everyone folds including the blinds but UTG called. The flop was 7 8 10 UTG checked. I bet 900. UTG called. The turn was a K . UTG checked, I pushed my entire stack in. She called. Her hand; A 3 6 K The river was a K. I lost.Did I play this hand incorrectly?

Fleung, I knew you were joking which is why I added my little quip

Fleung; No, my b/f does not play in the weekly games. He is old friends with them and is invited but does not often go. I can't say that anyone was particularly a big deal either of the times I was there (aside from Daniel on Hockey Draft night obviously), however there were a couple who thought themselves to be! (is there a tag for "true words spoken in jest"?)

If you check the db, you'll also see that it's pretty much my game of choice :)Chamonyx; regarding the messing with the schedule;Lee Jones released a "statement" regarding the new schedule So, apparently he believes the removal of those great tournies that we are missing, is an improvement! It is why I have continued to email my opinion and am glad others are as well.

fleung22: I can't say I "know" them as I only met them both on those two occasions I was at Darrell's house, however they do both know my b/f very well.As for if we met, If you were there on either of those days, then yes, you met me. My hair is shorter now than in the picture if that helps at all. You are?

For some reason, after reading that, all I could think of was... I love lamp!Editing to add a reply to CobaltBlue: I do not run the server however I pay a site to fully service me ie: Hotlinks are allowed. I'm thinking that it does have something to do with this particular forum as I have not had this problem before.
