why is it that the government prohibits everything I like because they can't figure out how to tax it?

what's pot? like you wear pots on your heads? I don't get it.

no worries man, I can borrow it from No_Neck I'm sure - or just buy the damn thing, it's not like it's that expensive considering the # of books I've already bought.Nate, I know you have both - can you tell me the difference if any between the two?

but what is the real difference between 1 & 2? I kind of get the impression that 2 is the revision of 1 so I don't feel like I have to have 1 if I have 2.

nah, not a big deal - I would rather double up through a donkey. good lookin out though!

would I have to call them to verify this? I find it odd because it's my check card so it's not really a CC.

how can FT accept but others can't??? also before I could put money into my account via my CC but now it won't let me, any info about that? If I can play real money on FT, shouldn't I be able to put money into my account by the same means I did when I signed up?

excellent, will hit you up sometime - can either do it at my place or yours, whatever works. Probably not this week since I'm hosting the game on Saturday (you're still in RIGHT?), payday next Friday as well so maybe friday afternoon?

yeah well I wasn't supposed to be able to open a real money account on Full Tilt but that happened.stupid government - actually can someone edumacate me on this issue? Why can't I gamble if I want to? Is this because gambling isn't legal in every state so there's no regulation for online play?

what hours do you work now? same as me right (7-3)? We should play heads up after work sometimes, I need to work on my game and taking you down a peg or two in the process.

I am super bored...I have been at the office for 2 hours, my boss isn't in today and she forgot to give me work yesterday. I'm thinking 3/4 working day, go home and play some poker online.when are other poker sites going to have Mac OS software? I'd like to at least check out other sites.

oops, wrong thread...

thanks guys, glad to see I covered the bases here. Obviously I understand that these books are just theory and don't take place of experience. I am interested in reading these books because I feel I can learn a lot from them and apply certain things to my own game. I think by reading these, it will help my game even more alongside just playing the game.

you own more than one, I think that was the point - I would hopefully need more than one rack if I played well.

you mean like you bluffing me off a $30 pot with a Ace high when I held the flush? no idea what you're talking about going looney.

most of these are recent buys so I haven't read them all yet - but def. am gonna get to all of them soon enough. I just started NLHE Theory and Practice last night. Surprisingly, after reading the Gordon book - a lot of it makes more sense. I guess I needed the simpleton's explanation for stuff to click cause before, the Sklansky books were a tough read. Maybe this one is just easier.will check out the Harrington ones, I definitely want to play tournaments at some point, thanks for the info.

As a newbie to NLHE (and hold'em in general), I was wondering what books you would recommend to learn more about the game. I have picked up a few books already but wanted to know if there is one that you think is a must-have.I currently own:Phil Gordon's Little Green Book - yes, I bought it and yes, I enjoyed it.Sklansky - No Limit Hold'Em Theory and PracticeSklansky - Theory of PokerSklansky - Small Stakes Hold'EmSklansky - Hold'em Poker for Advanced PlayersCaro - Book of TellsBrunson - Super System 2 - is it worth getting 1 or is 2 just the revision of 1?Brunson - Online PokerNegreanu - Hol

good point, but my question still stands. Does the casino provide you a way to carry your chips or is that your responsibility?

god, reading the Bad Beat forum is like being in Junior High...waa, I had pocket deuces and the board paired twice and both pairs are higher than my pocket pair, villain sucked out by holding AJ suited.f**king crybabies. that isn't a bad beat.

back to my stupid questions...I've never played at a casino, do I have to bring my own chip rack or does the casino give you one to carry around?

did you know you had him beat by the river? if so, why not check-raise there, I think he would've called you with KK.

Don't bluff a call station?

77.55 pre-tax, 62.04 walk-awaydon't spend it all in one place

don't get your hopes up, it is Circles stock the rumblings I am hearing are that the price difference is $1.65 - so say I have 3000 shares: $4950 and then it's taxed at like 20%, so walk-away with $3960.should be a nice bankroll or deposit on an engagement ring for Sarah.

my favorites are the pre or post meetings to discuss the meeting we were supposed to actually attend. I swear I live in Office Space somedays.
