I was thinking QFT meant Quite 'effing True until I just finally found out the truth. I guess it does, kind of..

Some of the Martingale computer simulations for roulette are pretty conclusive, it's not a long term winning strategy.. your potential win per round (the initial bet size) always stays the same, but to actually turn your profit into a meaningful number against the required bankroll you need from the start you need to play gazillions of hands, and at some point you're going to have a frozen streak that destroys you. Throw in the need to move tables if the next bet puts you over the limit for the table you've been on etc etc, and long term it's just bad.Pokerwise, imo you're better playing a set

Unreal beat, but wtf were you doing with your whole BR in play?Oh, and what did you do to the laptop? Gory details plz

I'd love to have friends - even one friend - who would understand what that meant. Life would be so much better if I could use more poker analogies in everyday speech.

Glad to hear it's working out.. I get p'd off in the classroom with the best of 'em (and occasionally busted poker forum / article hopping) but if you can find a subject, students and school that you like then teaching is great. GL with everything

I re-raised a pot with 94o earlier when the window popped up at an inopportune moment. Happens to the best of us

If I had a dollar for every time I heard that one... well, I'd be freerolling the $1.20 sngs for at least a month, put it that way. The difference between 2nd vs. 3rd thru 9th is that, instead of "goodbye", I got "You leave with nothing".. I did give Anne Robinson a hug on the way back to the green room, which I'm guessing is another 100th percentile achievement.

Won the freeroll at Walker Hill Casino in Seoul.. good for a gratis $220 entry into the monthly tourney on Jan 31st.And... finished runner-up on The Weakest Link.

I can't pick a clear fave between Hachem, Raymer and Eastgate. If Eastgate is actually the shit - no doubt he ran well in the main event, but proved a lot at the PCA, with a bit more experience he might be right up there - he could win a few. Moneymaker is my dark horse.

I was thinking about dealer tips.. Those waitresses are pretty special, I agree. The dealers are cute too, although it takes a bit of sparkling chat to get them to defrost a little.

Yeah the rake at Walkerhill is killer... I think you could be +ev by being fairly nitty and get paid off well enough when you do hit a premio hand but if you're playing with any kind of range you're going to get hurt by the rake in those small pots, plus factor in some serious calling stations limiting your bluffing options and getting sucked out on in those family pots. I've heard plenty of "idiot hit two pair on the river" bad beat stories drifting over from the $1/$2 tables. Tipping is almost unheard of in Korea but I hear they expect standard tips too. I'm going to get back into the freero

The first comment after the guide is far more accurate than 90% of the nonsense in the guide. "jaw droppingly retarded" (paraphrasing) is actually a little generous, imo.

One thing you do get in Seoul is masses of reasonably priced accommodation. You can find modern hotels with internet, 42in tvs etc in the $30 - $50 bracket all over the city. Not sure what currency you're bringing but the won is weak, good time to visit.. PM me if you want more info about anythingThey have 4 full-time poker tables.. they run freerolls on wed nights and sat / sun afternoons which draw people in, get 2-3 cash tables running as people get knocked out.. havent been there later on weekends myself but would imaging they get all 4 running. They run extra tables for tournaments, not s
