I have about that much on there...I've played once in 6 weeks. You want it?

We wrote off the 3k that was stranded on FTP on our 2011 taxes. It'll be interesting what we will do ... If we do anything ... If and when I supposedly get that money back ... Just food for thinking I guess ...

Re: August NC/LC - Take em to School!

7 limpers, I complete SB w/ 86.

Flop 5-4-2 r. Bunch of betting.

Turn: 3. I bet, get raised, chop, right? unless he's an idiot, so I just call. HU now.

River: w/e, I c/c and get shown the 7-6o by UTG.

6 months of this nonsense.

----------------------

Witnessed a hand in the 20 game:

It was a bad game and I was going to leave bec of that.

Capped 5 ways pre. Don't let that make you think it was a good game. There were some good, aggro TAGS. Flop 3's 10 hi. Bunch of betting. Turn: A and before I could stop myself I declare 'where the **** did that card come from?' Nobody cared, guy w/ the K got called in one spot.

fml, I should be driving a Benz and instead I've got a car w/ 3 wheels and a peg-leg.

Re: August NC/LC - Take em to School!

Mr. Beale, you sound pissed, and usually when you're pissed you should take a brake, but I'm thinking you need to play more. Condense that variance, yo. Take that 6 months of neg variance and smoosh it down into 2 months by playing 3x as much.

Unless you're monkey tilt. Then just do what I do. Go game online (game games, not poker) and flame anyone unfortunate enough to cross your path.

Yes, and it is for the exact same reason.

Ended on a high note - live straddle, called twice with bottom pair no kicker drawing live. MApoker takes my mobnies and I rage quit.

My only prior poker claim-to-fame was knocking out Chris "Jesus" Ferguson in the 1998 WRGPT tourney (in which I ultimately finished second).

But I shall now be known as the man who took out Callipygian!!

In that case, congratulations!!!!

I mean, for the reason you're going on hiatus, not for MAPoker taking your monies.

Re: August NC/LC - Take em to School!

Another hand from last night:

I open 88 UTG+1, bunch of callers, flop J-8-3r, bunch of betting, turn Q, River K I get shown A-10o.

So it's a whine, so what? FU poker.

I lost like $40 total for 5 hours.

Re: August NC/LC - Take em to School!

Guy on my right looks/acts like he came right out of the reality show 'Swamp People.' He' up $550 by playing like a lunatic. 'I'm going to call in sick the whole week!', etc. His buddies try to get him to leave he says he's going to win 2 more stacks first. Then the decline begins. I've been raising him at every chance.

Limp to him in MP, he raises, I 3! w/ AK folds everybody but him. Flop 10-5-5, he donks and says 'Save your money, bro' which means he hasn't got anything. I call him all the way down, he declares '2 pair' which doesn't work on me, he rolls over 6-4o for absolutely nothing. I point out that he misdeclared his hand he says 'I did it to make you fold', I say that's an angle shoot and call the floor, ask what the ruling would be if it caused me to muck w/o pointing out who did what, guy hears the lecture, did not look chastened.

I also invoked IWTSTH for the first time since I can remember. I thought 2 Asian women who obv knew each other raised me out of my 2 pair when the flush hit otr in a big pot but it was too close to call the floor, the bet and the bluff raise were not indefensible. But I still think they colluded. At 8-16, ffs.
