Even more tilting though when you wind up bubbling the tourny rivering nut boat and the guy rivered str8 flush.
And how did you get the 12K stack in the first place? So, basically, you didn't like it because you lost a bunch of flips vs shorties? That sounds kinda ridiculous given that the name of the game is Pot Limit Omaha.

After the first 4 levels the tournament gets pretty deep and you can 3-bet light as much as you want.

The script however seems lazily done, there's a fair few plot holes and just a whole load of ambiguous **** going on. I'm all for letting the audience come to their own conclusions for certain things, but literally nothing is explained and you need to speculate on pretty much every significant event in the film.

It feels kinda all over the place as well. The consensus seems to be there must have been loads edited out, and the directors cut will be much better.

Starts at 1:10. Greek right wing politician throws water at female member of the left wing party, follows up with two slaps and a punch in her face. Guy flees TV studio afterwards.

This is like a regular Friday night in a Greek family.

Actually busted sam trickett when we were both like 7k deep, I guess i made like 2k winning some stupid allins.

But after the 4 hour mark, my table really wasnt deep at all, except for one other guy. The rest of the stacks were like 30 BB's deep at most. Could've just been a bad table draw though, was also full of nits at my table so I was pretty shocked expecting everybody to spew off before I saw them play.

prometheus was awesome. the only thing i didn't like is when that machine made surgery it just sutured the skin on her belly, what about all the mess in internal organs seemed a bit unrealistic to me.

Sick achievement, not the easiest event to win a bracelet in, either. Congratulations!

Haaa. OKC have no chance vs Heat if the King plays like that again. Miami still have alot more to give and pretty sure we'll see it in finals (assuming Boston don't somehow win in game 7). D Wayde has gone missing so far and Bosch is just coming back, so looking forward to seeing the Heat play their best. Can't see OKC completing tbh.
