Really? It's not his action, how can he be held to something when it isn't his turn?If he did that purposefully, and then checked behind, it would be apropos, but legal in my opinion. Maybe I don't understand the rule, but do we have a floor manager around that posts? Or someone else that could explain exactly what rule prohibits a person from saying whatever he wants when it's not his action.

Ok, I'm not sure if this is the "Official Tropic Thunder is awesome" thread.... but I just got back from a midnight showing and Tropic Thunder was awesome. Jack Black's role is perfect for his skill set. RDJ is awesome. In fact, they pretty much steal the show. Stiller was good, but not his best role. I suppose that it's not easy to direct yourself though. In fact, I don't think any actor should really attempt it.Anywho, I was laughing my a$$ off pretty much the whole time. BTW, this is probably Tom Cruise's best comedic role ever, except for maybe "Mission Impossible: 2 and 3" (those w

Undisputed champion of the thread.Anyway, I'm probably going to a midnight screening. RDJ is good JB is hilarious, BS, well, i guess that describes my general feeling about his movies. Despite him though I really hope this movie is awesome.

It will probably be up by the time the FTOPS would start, but they "can't" afford the people they're losing from all those satellites that are usually running now.

Just checked this out, apparently the blinds for NL / PL games are 10/20 when limit is 20/40 according to the play money tables. That means that the NL/PL games are gonna play about double the size of the limit games. I hope they fix that

I'll most likely make an appearence at the event. I doubt that I'll play the main event, but where there are tournaments there are soft cash games. So I'll hit those up.I start school on the 25th though, so I'm really not sure what my schedule is going to be like.

Whats up guys.Anyway, I played on 8808 also. Honestly my cards were pretty damn cold all night. I played for 8 hours and saw AK exactly once and 4 pocket pairs. I added up all of my AQ hands also and found out that I lost $300 on themLuckily there were a couple pots that kept me in the black. QJ in the SB, UTG raises to 10, 2 calls, I call. Flop QJ2 two spades, I check, and it checks around to the button who says, "it checked to me?" and bets 20. I raise to 50, folds back around to him and he makes to 150. I'm a little confused at this point, so I talk to him a little bit and he basica

Do you think that 3pm is early enough to get there?If anyone else is gonna play tomorrow, come up to me, I'll be wearing the autographed FCP hat.

2 questions: 1) How good are the games on weeknights because I might be able to go on thursday?2) The grand opening hasn't happened yet? When is it?Edit: damnit, that was 3 questions.

You're right that the 20 mil over 10 years was probably not the right move, but i don't blame the management for offering it. We are desperate. We had talks with the Jets and the Bucs and Favre refused to talk to them. Bullsh*t. Favre is an employee and under contract of the Green Bay Packer organization.We can't trade him in the division anymore, not only because it's a rivalry issue, but since Favre has made it abundantly clear that the only place he wants to play is Minnesota, we can't get sh*t for him. Minnesota would be stupid to even offer anything more than a 3rd or 4th round pick.

when are raffle winners announced

I think the government should be out of marriage entirely, but if they are going to be involved, then homosexuals need the same rights period.

Just read that Favre refused to talk with the Jets or the Bucs, and it sounds like he only wants the Vikings.It's hard for me to see the Pack allowing something like that to happen, the story changes everyday, so who knows.

I forgot to mention that we also picked up that star from the Finnish Elite League, I believe Leino is his name. Where are we going to put all these guys? Osgood had a better season than Hasek last year anyway.All I can say is that we need to change the topic description to "bringing the cup back to Hockeytown part deux" or "keeping the cup in hockeytown"

yeah, i guess but the gambler's ruin problem applies most closely to the classic, double your bet strategy for blackjack. (lose $5, next time bet 10 and so on) The casino has a finite albeit very high bankroll, this is also the reason they impose betting limits.Being able to figure out the probability of losing X dollars in N hands is certainly useful. The point was to show that if you played the game forever you would not finish tied, even though expected value dictates that you should. I just find it interesting

Green Bay Packers fan since birth and Brett Favre is the only QB I've ever remembered. So I'm also a huge fan of him, but..... the sh*t he's pulling now is p*ssing me off big time. If he wanted to play he shouldnt have announced his retirement. Now he wants to come back after we used our 2nd round pick on Brohm. No, no no, Bull f*cking sh*t. I hope he rides the bench all year.Also, who else is sick of seeing 5 minutes of Brett Favre updates on SportsCenter everyday. Seriously

I think the Datsyuk-Zetterberg-Holmstrom line should remain and make the 2nd line Hossa-Fillipula-FranzenI know Hossa seems like too big of a name to be on the 2nd line, but Fillipula is the kind of player who just needs a little more around him to be really good. He's always trying to pull off the big Datsyuk/ Zetterberg move through 3 defensemen by himself, if a couple of those players were focusing on Hossa he could have a big year. Agree? Disagree?

Saw this movie this weekend, and I just couldn't get into it. I didn't really feel for either character. It just seemed like, hey let's put Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson in the same movie and let the chips fall as they may. Not a bad movie, because MF and JN are pretty awesome actors, but I wouldn't recommend the movie.

Yeah, i watched project Runway, I'm entertained, they just find the most flaming designers in history throw them in a room and hilarity ensues. Also, Project Runway did lead me to watch Top Chef and then the other reality/game shows, but only the former do I watch regularly.

It's not tasteless if you eat lots of grapefruit. The check "could be sweet....?"Anyway, good work Royal.

BFT. lolBarney Frank supports legalizing marijuana, poker, and gay marriage ( at least I assume he does, bc he is gay). He seems to be on the right track, get the government out of our sh*t. I'm not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but he was interviewed in a PocketFives Podcast a while back defending online poker. Might be worth checking out also.

Here sigma is the standard deviation and mu is the mean:Once we find the standard deviation it is not that difficult to find out the probability of losing X dollars in N hands.(The %'s in the picture is the probability of being between those parts of the curve)As a side note, this entire situation though is known as the "Gambler's ruin problem" and was originally stated as flipping for pennies. In a fair game with two (or more) opponents who have a finite number of pennies (or stacks of $16,000 as the case may be), if the game is played indefinitely, the probability that one player ends up wi

Well, I am coming back from Florida tomorrow, but I have a couple of freerolls to play in at Four Winds in New Buffalo this weekend for leading in hands played. One of the freerolls is for this baby:Pretty cool thing to have around the house, but if I could get 7 grand for it I would be ecstatic. (retailing for 10 grand) Hopefully I'll still be in the top 20 hands played even though I've been in Florida for over a week.The other freeroll is for 5 grand, 1300 for first 100 players. I think they are on Saturday and Sunday respectively. After that though, I may make the Horseshoe my new home

Hey guys, I was busy with school for the entire year and I haven't posted (or played) in about as long, but now I'm back in the game.Anyway, I was at Majestic star at week ago, and I was astounded at how terrible the dealers were. I won't be able to make it to the HPT this time because I'll be visiting family. Hopefully I'll make it to the HPT in Mt. Pleasant in August.Anyway, good luck

Meh, I'd say it's more like PCP.
