I Called In Sick Today

[turd ferguson 1]

I mean...should I state the obvious? Maybe you're just much better than the homegame regulars and only marginally better than your current competition where you don't have the same comfort zone yet.You're ok by me.

Actually, the players at the homegame were probably better on average than the players at the card room. I feel pretty comfortable playing there too.

I definitely get frustrated when I have to grab the second buy in out of my pocket. When I played for a living, I never took more than 3 buyins into the casino as my stop-loss and I was playing within what was a very sizeable bankroll. Losing 5 buyins in a session wouldn't have killed my roll at all, but losing 2 just annoyed the piss out of me, especially if I felt I was playing well. So, I almost never bought in for the third time.I think you inevitably play worse when you're trying to get un-stuck. Not to say you should never buy back in, but, only when the game's real good, IMO.

I do the same thing. The most I ever bring is four buy ins, but usually only three.

When i made my run at 3-6 and 5-10 I saw some of that and I never really understand why? Maximize double up value? Well that just doesnt seem like it shows you where youre at in your session.I guess for no reason whatsoever I never saw a good plus side to this because honestly how often do you get all your chips in the middle as a favorite per session anyway? and online more often than not youre playing against short stacks

are you serious?

[MisterB 2]

i guess thats my reasoning since i was always playing way above my head

are you serious?

well you see im not very good and lose a lot of allin confrontations while playing cash gamesyou guys are goodsee the thinking?

I like to always have the max buyin. Obviously I'm not pulling a red bird out of my pocket every time the blinds go by, but, I don't like it to get much lower than 85-90% of the total buyin.

If i'm under half max buy in, I like to get back to near full on the chance I do pick up a huge hand I want full value for.

Let's get this out of the way up front. Yes, this is my first time - hence the awkwardness. I have been hanging around the forums for awhile, and was directed to this thread a week or so ago (I think it was from a "favorite thread" thread). You seem like a kind and accepting bunch, so I figured I would post here first to possibly stem the tide of flaming.As a token of my respect (and desire for acceptance), I've made it my personal goal to read this entire thread. I'm currently on page 282 (20 ppp) so I called in sick today in the spirit of the thread to "play a little catchup." I'm also not wearing pants.Here's the thread cliffhangers from page 282:1. Does Turd go to Kansas. Does his girlfriend spend him out of house and home?2. Did Hobbes survive tax season? (dude I'm an accountant too - meh).3. Did Bizzle get fired for relations with HR MILF?4. Do Lolli's boobs make a cameo?5. Does Shake return?There's plenty more, but I'm going to be lazy so everyone knows my intentions are good.: futilelyhopingforacceptance face :Drat. This post is way too long. Everyone hates me.

I'm a little suspicious that this is just my girlfriend messing with me. Somebody ask Alan to run an IP check.

It would be so good looking if she gave an embarassing sexual story involving you. Very good looking idea

Ok, I have a dilemma.A lady at work asked me to buy something for her on ebay, which I agreed to do. She gave me the money, and I used my paypal account to buy the item.No problem.My wife goes on to ebay to do some shopping and finds the item in question, and proceeds to get pissed off. Very pissed off. Apparently finding a couple "buns of steel" videos in my shopping history did not please her.I explained it to her but she did not believe me. What are the chances she will be happy again when I get home today?

[Naked_Cowboy 0]

sounds like your wife is insane, good luck with that.

Same here, and for multiple reasons. 1) I don't want people to think I am playing way above my roll and can't afford to refresh my buyin. 2) Obv, I want to maximize my double up capability 3) Having a healthy stack helps my confidence when playing.

If i'm under half max buy in, I like to get back to near full on the chance I do pick up a huge hand I want full value for.

Nothing has ever pissed me off more than the time I sat around and was dwindling my stack down, because I was too lazy to run to the ATM, and I flopped a monster(AsA5s6 ds on a board of Ax7s4s) in a 5/10 PLO game, but only had ~250 infront of me, so that when THREE PEOPLE BET THE POT BEFORE IT GOT TO ME, I only ~750 where I should've raked a 3k pot.For NLHE, it's all relative. If it's a 50 bb max buyin (100 min/max 1/2 NL) then, I always have at least 90. If it's a 100 bb max buyin, then I don't mind it getting down to ~170 at a 1/2 NL (200) table.

If it really is her you'd better not be giving her any ideas. I'm sure there are a ton.

She's gonna be pissed, but there's not really anything you can do about it. Lie low and wait out the storm.

Poker Schmoker.You're so gay, I bet you think this song is about you, you're so gaaaaaaaay, I bet you think this song is about you homo, don't you?Haha, that just popped into my head....carry on.

Speaking of Weird-Al like parodies, this one occurred to me in the shower today.."Shot through the heart, and you're too blame, darlin' you give Rays, a bad name.." ..and I even thought to myself, "Stingy Ray Vaughn".I'm going to hell.

Steve Irwin hates you right now

[insano 0]

What exactly is she mad about? That you did a favor for a co-worker or that the co-worker is female?

She has gained like 5 pounds in the last few years, so she thinks she is getting fat. This was bad timing at it's finest.I think she will be fine, it's just, women are f'in crazy.No offense.

I tried to organize a parade, but was too tired after... you know.

With as much **** as that guy got himself in to, I would expect him to have a really cool death. Like one that we could be talking about for years to come. For example, getting his leg ripped off by a croc, and then have another croc come along and club him to death with his own leg.But no, he gets killed by a damn fish. Life is so unfair.

[turd ferguson 1]

Btw. My recent silly mood may or may not be attributed to a sexual pleasure. My husband may or may not have been involved.

I told you to kick that guy in the balls not have sex with him.

He got stung in the heart by a fucking stingray. What do you want from him? That's pretty kick ass.

[Theraflu 1,035]

No offense taken. Women are crazy, I agree. Why can't they all be as awesome as me, lol.

that's the solution! insano, just go buy an eight ball and give the wife a black eye. everything will work out great.plus she'll lose some weight if she gets hooked.

I disagree. Unless it was some "jet li" type fish that came out of nowhere and stung him with laser like precision, I'll be disappointed.Was the fish chinese? I need to know.
