R.A.B. is undoubtedly Regulus Black. In OOTP, while the kids are helping de-darkify #12, Grimmauld Place, (Sirius Black's house), one of the many objects that they find is " a locket that none of them could open".Almost certainly this is the stolen Horcrux from HBP.Mensch

Yeah, well, he's probably donked it all off in live tournaments calling down to the river with aces full of kings and other weak holdings.swMensch

just a minute left to register - only 400 people in a $1000 freeroll.Who's in?Mensch

That's all I needed to know. Thank you.Mensch

that would be dummkopf, for one thing.And for another thing, why say you this? If I'm going to play, and she's going to play, why shouldn't we play together?I'd rather lose to her than anyone else, and verse- vicea.Mensch

Wow. That was unhelpful, even considering the source. :wink: I suppose, for clarity, I could have typed, "I don't intend to cheat".Will you accept my repentace, Wordsmith?Mensch

We're gonna give it a go at the Powerplayer freeroll tonight. I emailed UB when she started playing there and asked about avoiding even the suspicion of collusion, and they said, in essence, that we could play from the same IP, but stay off of each other's tables.JustBlaze, are you sure-sure-positive-sure? I don't intend to cheat or collude, but we would like to play together. If for no other reason than for bragging rights and the occasional "how about that move you put on guppie69!! that check on the turn because you were "scared" of that second King! Nice!" and other verbal stroking.Me

Crossposting from "online" after 20 hours and no replies... I would like to play poker at the same table with my wife without having to go to the university to do so. But if we both log in and sit at the same table together, from the same IP address, the poker software would certainly notice, right? So no go.ButMy school lets faculty and students use a VPN client to access the campus intranet from off-campus, to use site-licensed software and such. A colleague explained to me "It basically gives your computer a campus ip address".Does anyone know enough about virtual private networking to veri

If you are not a math wiz, then "working out" a natural logarithm is going to be next to impossible for you. Trust me, I'm a math wiz and I can't do it by hand. what you are thinking about is a logarithmic progression for tournament scoring, which winds up emphasizing first-place finishes, while consistently high finishers who never hit the big one are left out in the cold. a geometric progression is nearly as bad.A progression like dna4ever described rewards consistently good players. A one-hit wonder who rides a hot rush of cards to a single first-place and rarely ever cashes otherwise

Thomas. Thomas A. Anderson. As in "Doubting Thomas", meant as a symbol of his questioning nature and unwillingness to accept what he is told.Still waiting on an answer to the Basil Rathbone question.Mensch

Good luck. I have yet to make it that far, though I've only played maybe a half dozen of the TEC freerolls. Just can't work a 3 - 5 hour freeroll into my schedule most days.Mensch

In the movie in which Basil Rathbone played a character named "Ravenhurst", what was the name of Angela Landsbury's character?Mensch

Fifty-eight dollars and change.Pot limit Omaha-8 $25 10 seat at PowerPlayer. I was playing with my free $25 and played A-2-Q-x. Hit QQ on the flop, bet the pot and had two callers, Hit the 2 on the turn and did it again, finally got all in on the river with a caller and scooped. No clue what he had. To put that in perspective, my entire poker bankroll at the time was a bit less than $100 inclusing the free $25 at PPlayer. So big time score for der Herr.Mensch

I can vouch for his two hot women. They're his daughters. They showed me top two pair and I went all in with my straight.Mensch

You are partially correct.Smash speaks (well, types) the truth. It's often cold, harsh, ugly, and insulting, and a lot of people are too soft to take it. Screw 'em. Mensch

I must protest this vile and degrading attack on....Wait, I'm not German.Sorry. Carry on.Mensch

The new people do so tell on themselves, don't they?The "2-pair should beat trips but not a set" was proposed by a former forum member. It's indicative of the general intelligence level of this person's posts, which, IIRC, also advocated folding when there is no bet to you and folding the best hand to avoid letting your opponent know what cards you are playing. This is part of the reason that this person is a former forum member.Mensch

2 or more? as in you can stay even at 2? and lose on 3 or 4? or do you lose at 2 also?I suggest just 2- tabling a few thousand hands at your current level Multi-ing is something that takes time to get used to. Look at your results at that point, and if you're happy, either start 3-tabling or move up. Mensch

That's brutal.Spot-on accurate, but brutal.Mensch
