I Called In Sick Today

[strategy 4]

i know that hoosieralum would be down too. I'd have no problem with it being at my moms place, but I don't have my tables or chips at this time. So if anyone has a decent amount of those, and if people don't have a problem heading up to wilmette, its all good

Oh, I missed that I was on the home game list. Nah, I don't live in Chicago. I wish I did.

[speedz99 145]

LOL. I might have to steal that one.

Great joke...I love Gilbert Gottfried's (sp) version of it from the Hugh Heffner roast. It's basically just a long setup of how horrible the man's life is going to be since he'll have to take care of the wife (bath her, feed her, wipe her, etc). And the punchline is much more simple..."I'm just fucking with you...she's dead!"

Strat, which Kansas school is in Lawrence? It's gonna bother me.

Whatever's clever...I'm not sure where wilmette is though. I can offer my apartment, but not for a month or so. The only table I could use won't be here until my buddy moves out of his place and gives it to me.

You would never keep up with your CFA work if you had a blog, especially one from livejournal.

agreed. i've never really studied for anything actually, so this is going to be an excellent test. i probably put in about 50 hours of studying per semester at university, if that, and i'm pretty sure i'm going to need to do close to the recommended 270 for this one.on the plus side, i did multiply 18*15 in my head, so i'm like 3/4 done already right Cowboy?

That could be used as a pickup line.

hey renae - i completed Level I of the CFA designation in only 11 weeks, instead of the recommended 35? Wanna head back to my place?

if u don't have a car all u have to do is take the metra north line to either wilmette or kenilworth or take the L to the linden stop(which is also in wilmette). In short, the near north burbs and about 5 minutes away from northwestern

You need to learn how to talk to women.I'm sure you'll do fine danny, but never ask my advice about numbers. I destroyed the verbal section of my GMAT and only got 60% or so percentile in math. ISAM

For the record, you're an accountant right?? Don't you use numbers quite a bit?

I use numbers quite a bit, but I'm far better at the analytical / problem solving part of auditing. This is why I hate what I'm doing as an associate, but I had a senior tell me I'll be a great audit manager if I don't quit before then.

Numbers guys.........A wealthy guy brought his wife to a dealer I once worked at to see a new loaded Town and Country minivan which I had cleaned and ready for a test drive at his urgence when he called. He would only deal with the manager he informed me. You know the type, like he's really important on the internet or something.Anywho his wife is sitting in the driver's seat admiring the luxury and told them it was prepared for the test drive. The guys gets real rude and says, "no offense, but i'm a numbers guy. We aren't driving chit until I see the numbers."To which I replied, "Well i'm no numbers guy, i'm an idea guy, and i've got an idea that her *** ain't getting out of the van until she can take it for a test drive. Then you can come in and argue over numbers the rest of the night."I walked back inside. He stood their fuming for few minutes and then got in the van and drove it.He gets back and walks in the showroom and says, "Where's the idea guy? I've got an idea that these numbers better be dog da m good or we're going to have a problem".Everyone in the showroom rolled laughing......

I'm definitely up for a Chicago home game. I'm also thinking about hopping on the train to one of the casinos tomorrow after work or saturday.Speedz: the 1k suggestion is pretty conservative, but a good one. I think the worst I've ever had was a 400-500 downswing in those, and that's out of a large sample size. Never the less, in order to win one of those you're going to have to win a few showdowns, and particularly if you're using the strat guide that bizzle and I posted (if you only read my post and don't read Bizzle's you're missing a ton of great strategy tips for the second hour), you'll need a bigger roll to withstand the variance of pushing premium starting hands very hard.RR: I push those jacks preflop. An over card will flop a lot of the time, and then you'll have a tough decision. Check raising on the flop doesn't really make too much sense - if he has AK/Q he's going to call your check raise anyway, might as well have jammed preflop since the only thing the smooth call achieves as part of this plan is potentially giving you a hard decision on the flop.What's the point of jamming this flop? He'll clearly call with a higher pair. He might call with a middle pair. He'd have called preflop jams with both of these in all likelihood. If you're jamming because you want to price out AK/Q...why? With that stack jam it preflop and hope to double - you're a short stack dealt one of the premium hands against a late position raise.I guess the bottom line is why, when you are dealt the 5th best starting hand in poker, as a short stack, you're calling to try to see a flop and then hoping to make him fold. Do you want to just win a small pot?

Are you going up this Sunday? I'm definitely going, I played the role of the good fiance' last weekend and broke my plans, this weekend is all about pokah. What's the max buy for 5/5NL? $500 or $1000?

No, I won't be going any of the next three weeks due to the WCOOP.No clue on the max buyin, I didn't play it.

Again this might be the best move and why I posted the hand. I wasn't planning on check/raising since I knew I would most likely lead out all-in on the flop unless and A or K hits whereby I could get away from it. It would have been a sick laydown but I think I could have done it. I do believe he calls with AX or many hands on that flop though given his previous play and knowing it looked like a bluff on my part.Meh, you're probably right though. Just push and hope for the best. Thanks for replying.

Life advice for Zimmerget over that, fast. Seriously. I had high standards when I was your age, and you know where it got me? A two bedroom condo in NoPssyVille. Seriously, start fcking, TODAY. Find some fatty with a nice face and big cans, or an ugly girl with a decent body, or just some girl with really nice hair. I'm not kidding. If you don't follow this advice, you'll end up having regrets about not fcking more when you were younger. Plow everything that looks at you crooked. A group of three girls, pick the ugliest one and talk to her first. She'll be happy you did, and the good looking one will wonder why you didn't talk to her.Next party you go to, don't even start out looking for a dream girl, find some girl that very few people talked to and chat her up. Just try to throw it in someone. As you get older, more girls become bangable. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying get married or bring em home to meet mom and dad, just bang them. You'll thank me. You know why? Because one wet pssy pretty much feels the same as the next when the lights are off. And hey, guess what, head is head, no matter how pretty the face is sucking it. Close your eyes and just concentrate on her wet mouth. I'm not even messing with you. And if you need some help getting past that initial "hey, I'm not really attracted to her" mentality, have another fcking shot. And if your friends are gonna give you sht about banging a pig (not likely since you hang out with tennis players and golfers and academia types) tell them you came on her face, and she tongued your balls.I'm just trying to help the youth of today. Good luck young man.

Train? To Gary? I might be up for it.

Hmm. Are these things really a good way to make money (re: better than cash games)?

if u don't have a car all u have to do is take the metra north line to either wilmette or kenilworth or take the L to the linden stop(which is also in wilmette). In short, the near north burbs and about 5 minutes away from northwestern

I could drive...and probably would want to, except if we'll be drinking (heavily) I should probably take the train. Unless of course there's room in your bed for me.I kid...I'm not at all gay in real life.Or am I?No.(yes)
