My biggest leak comes from setting goals for myself. Thinking about the end of the current tournament, or how close my bankroll is to the next big round number, leads me to call things I shouldn't call, to raise when I should fold, and so forth.-----"Okay, next class is in 90 minutes, I can 3table until then, I only need to finish up $x and I'll have $y in my account. Sweet.60 minutes later, I'm not up x dollars, I'm down that much, and needing to score. So I pick up pocket Aces UTG, and want to hit the poor suckers unlucky enough to be sitting with me. I violate everything I know about p

I have found UltimateBet to be the best all-around site, starting with the interface. Simple, straightforward, fast, and reliable. No silly cartoon avatars.The players are better than average, with a sprinkling of rocks and fish. If you want folks calling your preflop 4xbb raise with 5-3 off and turning a 6 high staright to beat your Kings, you won't find it here, except at the micromicrolimits.Holdem, Omaha, O-8, 7stud, 7stud8, Triple Draw lowball, and pineapple. Royal Holdem at the playchip tables. Stakes from $.01 - $.01 to $300-$600 limit Holdem and $.01 - $.02 to $50-$100 No limit. SitnGo

Well,WSOP tables are 9-handed whenever possible, and the final tables officially start that way, though they do pull the last 10 to a single table to play to 9, right?In the original Super/System, DB describes a full tables in NLHE as 9-handed.I guess the proper question is - Why do sites have 10-handed tables? I have zero B&M experience, maybe it's a carryover from that?Mensch

Looking forward to it. Much grass.Mensch

Tou-freakin-che, friend. Gotta remember the name of that bowl.Can't call Clemson/Carolina a rivalry, really, unless you consider hammer/nail to be a rivalry. I grew up in Spartanburg, and I dig South Carolina too. You need to visit the Golden Corner, if you haven't. Absolutely gorgeous over here at the foot of the mountains. in short, no offence intended.Mensch

I screwed up your post for you, you GENIUS< hahahahahahhaha, that was funny, ZING!FY(FYP)PMeta-fix.MetaMensch

Really? Who'd he fuck?Himself.Mensch (not part of the response, btw, just the way...never mind.)

Any questions?Mensch

Clue me in, this is a new one on me..Nutbar?Mensch

Tripe.Where's the national guard when you need them?Mensch

What happened to music?Nirvana.1992 marked the end of good music.Mensch

You want to represent SC, get a confederate battle flag superimpoced on a NAACP logo.That, or a picture of a Tiger eating a chicken.Mensch

Eewwww! Daddy, this tastes like Grandma!Mensch

He does take after his mother....Something I said? <pulls innocent face>Mensch

If you actually believe that there is a god, then why get upset at what he did to New Orleans? It must be part of his grand plan, right? I care far more about myself and my immediate family, and how this storm will affest us than about people that I don't know, whether they're children, elderly, infirm, what have you. Self-centered? Damn straight. Certainly. So did I, at first. then I got over it. Still sounds like some people around here aren't busy enough.Let me state here that my visceral reaction was a bit overboard. It was a reaction to the ignorance of the OP. Someone mentioned

So ... you're heading down to Louisiana ... looking to get laid?kidding.Feel their pain, sure. Be a good person. But all too many people seem to want to go out of their way to 1) Find ways to feel worse and worse about somebody else's problem 2) Chastise me for refusing to cry over spilled milk. Sure, it's the biggest puddle of spilled milk in living memory, but it wasn't my milkAllow me to reiterate - the biggest effect this will have on my life is higher gas prices. Well, that, and not being able to get away from the media's harping on this for the rest of 2005.Mensch

Briefly, not very much. It was important while it was happening, it's all we talked about at work that day, and part of the next. But by Thursday and Friday, I for one had moved on. Or tried to anyway. Problem was, nobody around me would let me move on, and I had to hear news reports for the next month "We found six more dead people today". ALL RIGHT ALREADY! WE GET IT!Mensch

***Real response warning***Absolutely. Frau Mensch swore he was queer as a 3 dollar bill. My 12- year old son remarked that he seemed like "kind of a sweetie". My daughter, age 9, swoons over the guy, she showed his picture to my mother in law, who thought he was one of the "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" crew.In short, yes. Glad to know we were wrong, but, DN seriously needs to man it up a bit. This is what happens when you don't eat meat. You miss out on all that good growth hormone and steroidy stuff they feed the animals, and you wind up at like 5'9", 130 lbs.Mensch

Naive crap.the media's purpose is to survive and prosper. They are an industry, a business, just like everything else. Their overriding concern is profits, not information.They cream all over themselves when something like this happens. They're tickled pink to bring images of suffering to us all, because we line up to swallow their tripe and beg for more.Mensch

Do you people not have enough going on in your own life that you have time enough to spend fretting about what happens to a bunch of people who chose to live in a swamp? On the Gulf coast, no less? Unless this storm has affected you personally, why do you care? Sounds like you're not busy enough. At my Uni, cute little sorority chicks were still selling tsunami bracelets in freakin' MARCH! Now the media and the charities will be holding this over our heads until at least Christmas, screaming "CARE! CARE! CARE! WE ORDER YOU TO GIVE A CRAP!I refuse. Sucks for them, glad it's not me. Beyo

I love my Daewoo.2001 Lanos. Best describes as a microsedan.35 mpg, baby.Mensch

No, Smash would have tossed in a comment about NL being for donks.but 15 sounds doable, anyway. You do mean 30 bigblinds, right, dimseven?$30 per 100 at $100 max / $.50 - $1.00 blinds?Mensch

So what's a good hourly rate for NL?Pokertracker gives me my stats in BB, which is still twice the big blind, even though I only have no limit hands in there.
