  1. The link is just a random song that I was listening to. Ben Harper and Jack Johnson.All of the porn on youtube is deleted almost immediately, the bastards.If I had some way to get porn to y'all from the company servers, I would. As of now I just have to watch it on my tv here. :-D

  2. So I just got trained on the code that I'll be developing in the coming months. I was then FORCED to watch porn.You see, I am developing pay per view for a cable company. And our only test ppv channels have boobs. Oh the humanity.I won't have too much time to post all day, so when I do, I vow to come with gifts. Here is today's:

    Enjoy. If you don't like it, go to hell.
  3. Thanks guys,it's a pleasure, brad.I'm glad that the old jokes still run around here, at least in spirit. Haha. I'll definitely see what's up with popping in every now and then. The goddamn code takes at least 5 minutes to compile and load at work, so I'll prolly have a spare minute or two to post every now and then.Oh, I live with john (billiardsboy). We're still doing the college thing for a bit, so the cheap roommate lifestyle is still the way to go. I'll preemptively say 'hi' on his behalf and tell him I did later.Member No: 425. I feel like a 22 year old relic around here. I guess I am. heh

  4. Hey jeff.I didn't know about tommy, but I think we all saw it coming. Right about the time I went back to school and stopped posting, he was making some big scores. Hell, he's always been a semi pro anyway-- I know he used to play at work all day anyway. hehI haven't talked to fryer in a long time. What's up man?Does it still mean anything if I say:BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-RAINS! :club:

  5. Thanks.I don't remember if I told you about the thread or not. It must have been two or three years ago at least. I know this thing started when I was a sophomore in college, on my first internship...I now have a full time job, and am a senior at school. I'm finishing at nights, so should be done within like 9 months.I was semi-engaged for a bit, but she cut me loose... I've been drinking, and recently learning guitar since then. Other than that, I don't think I've played a hand of poker in a few months... aside from a home game or two and a few drunken lolligag sessions at borgata. A whole bunch of nothin going on for me. I kinda dig it.Any of the original old crew still hang around here?Not sure if I'll have time to drop by during the real job or not, but I might poke my nose in every now and then if y'all don't mind.

  6. Well, I don't care about the simple math of whether you should fold aces on the bubble here. However, I did have something I wanted to address in the other thread before it was closed.The OP said that this scenario was from a Party Steps tournament and that's why there were only 800 chips in play per person, and the payouts were so odd. However, Party only holds players to 800 starting chips in $30+3 tournaments and below. All of their large buy-in tournaments use at least 1000 starting chips and I think as high as 2000.Actually, I'm pretty sure that the OP took the structure of the first Mini-Steps tournament and multiplied the numbers to make it look like a large buy-in tourney. Just thought that was kind of lame and wanted to point it out. Nobody wants to make a post about the positive value of folding aces in a $5+1 tourney.
    equity is equity.the dollar values are interchangable.this post is rubbish
  7. Yes I understand all of the above, however, that doesn't mean you are right.no, you don'tyou don't understand what a super satellite is. in a super satellite that pays 8 places, 1st and 8th get the same prize. There is no incentive to gather chips to take a shot at first when you are guaranteed to get at least 8th.If you have a tiny stack in a tournament and are on the bubble, do you not want to double up? What is you best shot at that?of course. nobody said that this was a case in which folding AA is correct. EV and ICM calculations consider all of this, of course, so your crazy logic skillz still fall at the hands of sound mathematicsIf you have a giant stack in a tournament, if someone is willing to call your all in, they clearly have a good hand but can never have a better one and you should not be afriad to push any edge.of course. an edge is defined as a +ev situation, imo. there is no edge to risking your tournament life in the afore-mentioned super sat. situation.In cash games both of the above are true, I can, however, see why somebody MIGHT fold aces, if you have a couple of BB left and need one more place to make X then there's value in hoping someone else will call, expecially is someone else is all in as well.no. you are wrong. a ring game is the only time in which it is NEVER +ev to fold AA pre flop. But your comment still doesn't make any sense... but in the last statement, you are starting to refute your claim.All this said, I have no regrets if I push with the best hand...that's fine. the best hand isn't always +ev is the only point i'm making.This has been discussed ad infinitum, so take a look around.

  8. this thread no longer has value
    and neither does poker if you are suggesting that folding the best hand is a good move
    i'll give you a hint...various forms of hold'em poker, while looking very similar, using the same basic setup, the same flop, turn, river--blinds and all...They each have different objectives, goals, and methods which the player should know and understand. If I have a large stack in a super satellite where 8 seats are awarded..... oh never mind.use the search function on this, or any other poker site.even google should be able to explain it.btw: has NoFX released anything decent since pump up the valuum? I kinda grew out of it, but you have raised some interest.
  9. No, never fold aces preflop, there is no reason to ever fold aces preflop, if you do, then you are scared money and you are eventually going to lose it all!There is no hand, bar pocket aces that is even equally likely to win preflop as your aces, therefore, if you are playing poker and are a gambler, you should never fold when u KNOW u have the best of it! The end, finito, be quiet and don't open new unimportant posts.
    No. The only absolute in poker is that there are no absolutes.There is a painfully obvious super satellite scenario where folding AA is widely accepted to be correct.provided you are interested in maximizing EV, there are a few final table scenarios as well, but check out TPFAP for that.this thread no longer has value
