Shuffle Master got invovled with lightning poker. EDIT They changed their site. It's better, still the tables don't look nearly as impressive as the PTEK ones. Lyle Berman is Chairman of the Board at PokerTek, which means he has alot of pull with different casinos. Brian Haveson is the main man over at lightning.As far as potential for growth. There's more than enough, even with a competitor taking 50% of their action.they need 200-250 tables to break even. There's about 10k-11k poker tables in the world. On top of that they can put poker tables places where they were never feasible, ak

wtf? He bet 100k in to a 130k pot? did i miss something?Where's the overbet. gd. and here I thought I knew what an overbet was, now you are going to convince me 4/5th's pot is overbetting? Or am I just so tired i can't comprehend the #'s that come up when he says all-in?

Well since you continue to show your lack of social skills I think I will argue with you.You're a total asshat that really needs to learn how to interact with people.Now back to him. You havent' seen him play, you can't say **** about him. All you are looking at is a winrate at lower limits and assuming that he couldn't make a small profit at .25/.50 or .50/1 which is totally retarded. If you can beat .001/.002 for a small profit you can beat up to 1/2 for a small profit. Maybe he makes too many plays that would work when the money meant more to people etc, you really have no idea, maybe h

I'm not going to argue. Just wish you weren't so god damn condescending.

not everybody multitables.Maybe he had a bad run of cards.maybe he just needs a little more practice.ohio, stfu. Playing poker shouldn't be a chore for people if they don't want it to be.

He said his father had ALS and his winnings were going to go right to him.Whether that happened or not we'll never know, but I'm fairly confident that he'd help his pops out and try to make him feel as comfortable as he can etc.

episode 3/7. Very sick hand. Very impressed.

10,000,000,000,000,000To put that number in to context.1,000,000 seconds is ~11 1/2 days.1,000,000,000 seconds is ~31 3/4 years.1,000,000,000,000 seconds is ~31,740 years.10,000,000,000,000,000 seconds is ~3,170,979 centuries

well played

Maybe the poor kid is having a baby.

aye, buy 2 $250's.im just serious.

I'm not offended at all, after seeing the $200 post, and the replies to it I'm pretty sure the poker playing demographic is some of the most dishonest that exist.

It's been a while since i've taken a math class.But couldn't you just buy 5 $100's?Im just serious.

Many gamble hoping to win enough money to quit working, wanting something for nothing violates the work principle given by God.umm. no?well I guess if you're talking about strictly luck based games like slots, then sure, that argument could hold some weight.You talking about poker?You forget an SW?You on a nasty bender and just lost your BR?

You are correct, there seems to be quite a disparity in what "situation(al) ethics" is.sorry about correcting without all the information. My original argument still stands though .

This isn't situational ethics at all.Situational has to be a drastic situation.I.E. cannabalism for survival.$200 hardly constitutes changing your moral stance.

The question isn't whether you'd take it because its the mean old poker stars thats taking all your money. Give me a break, if you'd take it from stars, you'd take it from anybody you didn't know. If anything stars has done a great justice to the majority of posters on this forum, and you all talk about how its evil, and since they make so much money you shouldn't even think twice about taking advantage of an obvious mistake. My favorite argument is the 'they can't do anything to you, because they're oversees', if your first thought was about whether you could face repurcussions if you kept

Yeah it's pretty straightfoward from a moral / ethical standpoint.You would inform them, then rip up the check.The only way I'd tell you to keep it is if you were in dire need of some money to help others.You're obviously doing alright because you're on the internet.

I purposely made this topic pretty broad.I've always wished they could, because I've surely loved every dog that I've had, but I've often doubted if it worked both ways.The reason i doubt it, is because I don't believe they are capable of hate, why should they be capable of love?

Jim Croce.Operator, oh could you help me place this callYou see the number on the matchbook is old and fadedShe's livin' in l.a.With my best old ex-friend rayA guy she said she knew well and sometimes hatedIsn't that the way they say it goesBut let's forget all thatAnd give me the number if you can find itSo i can call just to tell them i'm fine and to showI've overcome the blowI've learned to take it wellI only wish my words could just convince myselfThat it just wasn't realBut that's not the way it feelsOperator, oh could you help me place this call'cause i can't read the number that you jus

More likely is that he's starting to question alot more than he used to.That alone can make you depressed.I have gone through a similar phase in my life the last few months, and it wasn't a hoot.He's just trying to figure out what he is doing in life, and what he sees himself doing for the rest of his life.He'll be fine.

so I get 2.5:1 on 3:1 with the field? I do not know chipstacks so I'd obviously have to go with the odds.

waah it wont effin load for me, any suggestions? tried both links.

I'd like to thank Ron Mexico for a great sig.You sir, are hilarious.

its an obvious gimmick. Nobody is that stupid...right?
