strategy 4 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I realized that I need to grind it out more rather than go for the marginal situation where I either stack someone or get stacked.As long as you're not worried about a little variance, going for the small edges isn't such a bad idea. Consider that Vegas is built upon the 1% (and sometimes a bit larger) house edge in blackjack. You obviously need to do a little better than that to win at cash games because of the rake, but don't be afraid to push your edges.I thought tonight was going to be pretty shitty, but everything turned out okay. It's pretty amazing how far a simple change in perspective can go toward giving a person some peace of mind. Link to post Share on other sites
MisterB 2 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 God damnit, I was switching tables and mis-clicked, min-raising my aces. Let 37 catch a straight on the flop. DAMNIT.When the hand was over all I could remember hearing was AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!! OI OI OI!!!!Check it to pancakes... PANCAKES!!I still laugh. Eli you get the popcorn, butter no salt. Peyton you dim the lights not too dark not too bright, I got dibs on the recliner...Ready BREAK! No idea what theyre selling but I could recite that whole commercial.By the way, the "I must protect this blind" thing went off without a hitch.This cannot go without the full, comprehensive, Peter Jennings (too soon?) style report that it so truly deserves. And furthermore I feel that you all are slipping by not quoting this and asking this question at an earlier date and time.*Playing $20 stt with E.S.L. latinos from various restaurants is sooooo +EV its not even funny. 3 sessions profit +$190*Having a girlfriend (ex or girl boy)that does not go down on you is -ev*You know you play too much poker when your mom says Ill bet you didnt pay your car bill and you say "I call" Suprisingly she raked the pot.*Zim is now smoking pot while drinking? I really cannot wait for the day when he checks his pokertracker one morning and finds he made $11,678 playing 25/50 NL on party.*The whole bullet thing is getting annoying, even for me and Im only 5 deep so I propose a you poke it you own it man law no bullet in the sick thread, sick thread law9 User(s) are reading this topic (7 Guests and 0 Anonymous Users)2 Members: MisterB, strategyOk I have a perfectly reasonable explanation as to why I am awake at this hour, you sir on the other hand, do not.Be that as it may, since youre here, and were queer, whats up mi amice?

strategy 4 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Ok I have a perfectly reasonable explanation as to why I am awake at this hour, you sir on the other hand, do not.Be that as it may, since youre here, and were queer, whats up mi amice?I'm doing some of the homework I need for tomorrow. I'm going to write an entry about the book I just read, as well. I'd cross-post it here but somehow I just don't think the sickies would understand why Lermontov is so amazing.Where's that smugometer (or however it's spelled) when you need it?And wait, what is your 'perfectly reasonable explanation?'

MisterB 2 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Where's that smugometer (or however it's spelled) when you need it?And wait, what is your 'perfectly reasonable explanation?' Official SmugometerMy perfectly reasonable explanation is I went to the EXs house at 8:15 after 3 stops at various so called 'convienience' stores looking for a very specific brand of chunkys microwaveable chicken soup where I also decided that a $10 scratch-off was neccessary. Scratch 4 numbers, win $20, leave the rest covered, go back inside said 3rd 'convieience store to cash out. He scans it, turns out I won $50 so im elated. Go to the exs watch Greys Anatomy which is an absolutely awesome show (wow that came off rather gay, mission accomplished) and couldn't sleep. Left her, went to downtown New Haven to drink, played poker with the aforementioned english second language latinos to the tune of +$90. Got out at 4am, went to McDonalds for breakfast and then did my catching up here. Reasonable enough?Annnndddd had time to toss off once before responding. Whos better than me?

Whos better than me?I've seen a part of one episode of Grey's anatomy, and it happened to be about a hockey player who wanted to play in a game but had a broken finger or something. He cut it off, it got infected, and then much sorrow ensued. He was obviously from Minnesota. This little plot line pissed me off enough to never want to see the show again.The rest of your night sounded pretty sweet, minus the dysfunctional ex relations. Link to post Share on other sites

mk 11 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 like MK says, "you can't let em think they are part of the family or that they belong, because then they start to steal"I may be paraphrasing, but its closeI could do this all night. Ha. I'm glad my faux-smugness provides a wealth of material for the thread.Some girl just pissed my bed That sounds about right.Finished 2nd in the Final Table DS for the WCOOP ME I did the same thing on Monday. Double shootouts: getting kicked in the nuts repeatedly and without mercy.yeah, that got me too, I just didn't give him any props in protest. You know he had some black guy in a white coat with white gloves deliver it to him on a silver platter with a cover, then Mike ate it while he waited, made the guy wipe his mouth for him, then backhandedly wished him out of his site, all the while never directly addressing him or looking at him. Actually, his name is Javier. He's Guatemalan. He's a tender and gentle lover. Link to post Share on other sites
