It's for my deadly accurate throw to 2nd base from right field for anyone stupid enough to try to stretch a single into a double on me.oh yeah... I also like shooting flying squirrels with a BB gun as they emerge from holes in my roof at night.

In my 20 years of experience at this silly game, regardless of how you play a hand, ANYONE with aces cracked is going to whine their ass off. Get used to it. You did fine.

A couple of comments from a dad with two kids in elementary school...Thank God for John Stossel and the piece he did on the current state of education in America. Very rare for the liberal media to present a story such as this.We all scratch our heads and say there is no easy fix, when in fact the easy fix was used as an example in the story. Adopt the policies that are used at the school that spends $3000 per child, and you have your answer.Lastly, I'm in favor of public education, and certainly appreciate everything teachers do for our kids, however, in an era of 1-2 percent inflation, why is it that schools need 8-10 percent budget increases every year? The rest of us get by on cost of living increases, heck, pilots are taking 40 percent pay CUTS to keep airlines afloat, yet teachers always whine that they are underpaid.The Superintendant in my school district gets over $150K per year, plus health club memberships, huge car allowances, etc. etc. etc...Yes, it's an important job, but that's more than the Governor of my state gets.You knew the deal when you signed up, so THANK YOU to the teachers out there who love their jobs and feel adequetely compensated!

Alcohol has facilitated me getting laid on a couple of occasions, therefore, I think it's a good thing.

I don't have a problem with a TD throwing that option out on the table.A lot of players who have never been to a final table aren't even aware of deals or chops, and they think you are trying to screw them out of money.The TD probably just wanted to finish up the tourney quicker and get the hell home.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...I'd be gooin' all over Gowen.

Good discussion FCPers.I'm going to Vegas next Thursday.Is the Excalibur still the fish farm it was last time I was there?I hate the joint, but man those guys sucked.

This was one of the funniest, yet most serious discussions I have read here. I wish I had seen this earlier in the week.Let me tell you from experience, hiding your passion for poker from your wife or girlfriend really sucks. You come home smelling like a casino and they get suspicious. They find a poker chip or two left in your pants and you're busted. They see ATM withdrawals from the casino or NetTeller transactions and you're busted.It's not an easy thing to compromise on either. Who can really play for an hour here, or a couple hours there? Chicks don't understand a 20 hour session.They also don't understand why you don't want to spend every spare moment with them.The only way to deal with this is to quit cold turkey and be a little miserable, yet still getting some ass, or you have to be a jerk and lay down the law and hope she stays with you.Good Luck!

That's my wife... after I've had 13-14 gin and tonics...Actually it's Joanna Krupa...I'd give her the juice.I love your avatar. Who is that? -
I love stories about any of the four G's... Golf, Gambling, Girls and Gin.

Reading DN's blog is like reading a diary. Almost nothing apparently is off-limits for Daniel to share with us FCP participants. We see every penny that is won or lost, hear about his religious views, politics, vegetarianism... etc. Christ, he even let us all know when he was going to propose to Lori before she even knew. Many of us know more about Daniel than we do about our own family members. I don't buy that you must "meet" him face to face to have any insight into his situation.Daniel can choose to ignore any advice he wants, from anybody, but that shouldn't stop people from stating their opinion.We all have two things in common here... we like poker, and think DN is a pretty cool dude. I know there are morons here, but I just have a problem with people who can't keep the dialogue somewhat positive.Yes, if it was a good friend, not someone I never met. -
I think Brownbeard is just articulating the pain that I'm sure we all feel when we read about a bad night at the tables for DN. 'Been a long run of bad nights it seems.I personally cling to the hope that losing half a million in one night is just a drop in the bucket for DN, but none of us really knows except DN.Gambling is like heroin to some people. If a good friend was shooting up too much, wouldn't you feel compelled to give some advice?If DN ended up broke, it would'nt be the first, nor last, great player to do so.Anyways... I don't think its cool to rip Brownbeard to shreds for being concerned.

Harrah's owns Binions, therefore they are the same. I'd guess they moved it 'cause there's not enough space at Binion's, plus they wanted to promote their "higher end" properties, like the Rio.Does anyone how long Harrah's controls the WSOP? Will Binion's ever get it back? -
The absolute WORST tax on gambling is the tax on lottery winnings.They already take about 30 percent of the buck you spent for state programs, then have the nerve to tax you if you win more than $600.00.Don't get me wrong... real gamblers don't bother with the lottery, except a buck or two when Powerball is $200 Million... but I used to work there.

One night she did... after I had 13-14 Captain Cokes.Seriously though... I'd say she's a milf.I'd like her even more if I didn't have to listen to her.sniper, does your wife look anything like your avitar?

No birthday required for that gift!It's the gift that keeps on coming.Copyright: ZZ TopShe?s really upset with me again,I didn?t give her what she likes.I don?t know what to tell her,Don?t know what to say.Everything got funky last night.She was really bombed,And I was really blown away,Until I asked her what she wanted,And this is what she had to say:A pearl necklace.She wanna pearl necklace.She wanna pearl necklace. -
All right, after 4 pages, we've concluded that it's proper etiquette to tip the dealer a buck or two per pot. We've also concluded that if you don't tip, you are a cheap bastardd. Anyone tipping more than 2 bucks is a shill, drunk or simply sucking up to a cute dealer who will never sleep with you.Now... onto a more interesting question..Do you tip the maid at at hotel?If so, how much?I just started doing this a few years ago. Usually 2 bucks each night.I'm interested in hearing the opinion of any hispanic maids on this site.

Thanks for all the advice FCP'ers.I ended up getting her a spendy bottle of Chardonnay, some fancy chocolate and a better TV to replace the one in our bedroom (so we can watch that amputee porn). It felt more like the type of stuff you give for Valentines Day, but dammit, I suck at gifts, plus I'm a procrastinator.Plus, after 14 years of birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, Valentines and Mother's Day gifts, a guy can run out of frickin' ideas.I spent more than my budget of $100.00, but I consider the TV to be as much a gift to myself.Consider this thread shut down... unless you need to flame me for my choice of gifts.

Not to change the subject here, but, should I be tipping the chick who brings my food to the car at Applebee's "Carside to Go?"I feel that this is "take-out" food, and no tip is required, but then again, they are coming out to my car.I'M SO CONFUSED! :roll:
-
30 Years ago $10,000 could buy a small house.Today, $10,000 barely gets you the cheapest new car available.Sure, raise it up to $25,000.8 days is too long for any poker tourney. Some of us great players have lives to lead outside of poker.
-
Watch out for shills (usually off-duty dealers playing poker).They will tip big, usually 3-4 bucks per pot, just so everyone thinks that is the norm.A buck a pot is plenty. If a dealer deals 20 hands an hour, that's 20 bucks an hour in tips, plus about $6.00 an hour in wages = $26.00/hr. That's over $50,000 a year at 40 hours a week.Not bad...

Thanks for the suggestion, Billiard Boy, but I just can't handle that sensitive pussy gift shit.I'm thinking more along the lines of power tools or booze, with a feminine touch, like maybe a pink ribbon around a nice Makita sawzall.Besides, if I put my true feelings down on paper, she could use it as evidence in divorce court.One idea would to maybe put your feelings down on paper.Write her a letter instead of a card in which you tell her how much you love her, how she helps you get thru life, what she means to you, etc.After reading something like that, she won't really care what you get her.
