1. not on a regular basis. it gets used mostly in international events. cheering ozi ozi ozi oi oi oi would be lame at a local football match. i have no problem with hachem doing it as it promotes australia (and if they gets more exposure for us then its all good and if more new players from australia sign up then thats awesome). its more aussie than ooooba ooooba ooooba or whatever that was. hah. however mimicking hachem and doing everytime a pot is dragged is lame. Oi Oi Oi was never really cool imo and whilst it shouldnt be overused it does seem to have a place in the cache of aussie cheers.

1. tough Q. lemme have a think.
2. probably in the 300BB range or 20BI at 6max - rather average really. I cut back my play, played a lower limit for a while and/or took a break.
3. redback spider (although if i saw a brownsnake that would be the winner)

i read about that the other day.

my wife isnt the "burn your **** n balls off" type ... she'd would kick me out and take the kids instead. does that make her jealous? i dont think so...a kickout in this spot should be standard and goes both ways imo

How long do Wells generally go? What's been your favorite question from your time in so far?

1. they run their race and then die. typically they go well for a few days then die a slow death. fwiw there's some questions that i was sure i'd be asked but havent.
2. no particular favourite but moonorb had some good ones (even though he was a bit of a question hog )

What questions haven't you been asked that you thought you would have been?

nice question. it would probably be going against the spirit of the well if i answered this directly so i just answer "questions other than ive been asked so far but some have been in the ballpark"

Who's your favorite Backstreet Boy?

actually i cant be bothered playing games so i just mention that i thought i was gunna be asked who my best and worst posters were and who i most wanted to ban.

as for favourite backstreet boy....BAH! gimme a break

Who is the most average poster here? Nothing special, but not horrible...

If you had a vote for 2008 Poster of the Year, who would you vote for?

Do you like this forum or the beginner's forum better? Do you read any other forums regularly?

How did you meet your wife?

If you could move anywhere else in the world, where would you go?

Which of the following best applies to Boz?

[ ]Crotchety old grump
[ ]Good-natured grinch
[ ]Just keepin' it real


Does Freteloo's avatar creep you out?

if you had to construct a FR LHE game comprised of just microers ....
a. who would you put on the table to make it the toughest?
b. who are put on to make it the most fun?
c. who are put on it to create the most "interesting" spots.

which 1/2 microers would you feel the most comfortable sitting to your left? your right? Least comfortable on both sides? Why?

if you had to stake 4 micro regulars in 10/20 online, who would they be?

Who is the best gut or feel player even though their maths of the game may be lacking or non-existent?

If you had to start your own company, what would they do and what would you name it?

1. not sure if i should answer that one but since you asked i pick you
2. thats tough as there are lots of good posters and contributors who all add to the forum. i actually dont think im the best person to pick this since i have been limited to modding here rather than posting strat recently. And to pick just one person is unfair and TBD most of the regs know that they do a good job and probably dont need the praise - you know who you are. anyway Bella's contribution via the digest is commendale - i know those things take time to do. Likewise for session reviews with BBB at the helm and if my memory is correct TimMovieMan has risen rapidly to pretty high stakes (could have sworn be posted a winning graph at 5/10 or whatnot).
3. micros is better. ive been giving beginners a bit of my time recently because that forum needs more attention - the micros runs itself mostly and since im not playing limit at the moment im not reading every thread anymore. It is to be expected that beginners has way more bad posters and bad threads TBH which is the nature of the beast. I dont really read any other forums be they poker or otherwise....except maybe DC, holdemmanger or pokertracker forums. I just dont have the time.
4. At a nightclub. I had had a few drinks and was doing my thing on the dance floor (im a white guy who cant dance) and she made the first move. Rest is history. True story.
5. I need to do more travel first and i really cant objectively judge Europe since i havent been there - but i wouldnt choose the UK based purely on their weather. I could see myself back in Ft Lauderdale but i choose New Zealand.

1. I dont like to label people especially not Boz as i dont think that does Boz justice. Boz is one of a kind and his longevity in the micros is a testament to what he brings to the forum....because whether or not you agree with what he posts or how he posts it....he simply wouldnt still be here if he sucked at poker or posting.
[x] all of the above.

2. somewhat but he's had it for a while so its lost its effect imo.


im gunna need some thinking music to answer your latest Q's bravos....but ill be back (after work)

in no particular order for all of these
1. our res supermod (he's still got it and we all know it imo), aaron, boz, bravos, fritos, BBB, timmovieman, bella plus i left a free spot cos i know i missed someone and so the rest of you can think it was you i missed (seriously, i just know ive missed ppl here)

2. Str8fish, Bona, kero, Gib, Snitch, Tyler, Bennyhana, knockon and Wookie

3. anyone from a or b imo.

4. Left – anyone in the stats thread who has a VPIP < 16 cos they’ll let me abuse other people and if they playback they aint bluffing (enough). No need to name names but the selfconfessed nits know who they are

Right – apart from the obvious traits of being loose, passive and predictable - to my right Ill take anyone who thinks im actually good enough to respect and who Im pretty confident isn’t gunna play back at me. I don’t have any names here but ill take the generic 50 post count occassional poster who hasnt figured they regs and vets like to make moves and make life really difficult for them whether they actually have a hand this time or not. Oh wait, there’s another way of looking at this….just put anyone of you thinking semi-lags who plays lag to my right and ill ABC you to death and ill use my call button too. shippy mc shipit. Perhaps ill just put Bona to my right….after he’s never believed any of my bets at 2c/4c. You can also put my old pal Str8fish there as well except he’d spite cap me too often.

For least comfortable to the left…switch the nits and the thinking semi-lags. Of course, this may not be entirely true. Eg I don’t want a guy like miles to my left or to my right

5. As much as I’d like to put Aaron here he runs permanently bad apparently. If I had to pick a fellow aussie it would be Gib or Eskimo because I cant pick snitch cos he is a self-professed spewy tiltmonkey and knockon is just a spewmonkey or at least seems to be having the same sort of troubles at NL im having so just like I probably cant beat 10/20 online I don’t think he can either.

So I choose
1. TimMovieMan (he’s got results imo)
2. Freteloo (even though he can be abrasive he seems to get results)
3. Boz (I know he doesnt move up mainly out of choice and a lack of a need to be balla i'd pick him just because I’d want to see if he can beat the game)
TBD – watch this space. It is reserved for an up and comer who probably deserves a shot because they have potential but not the bankroll
