Sounds like thug life to me

Gettin the monies on the interline should be piece a banana cake.

Real conversation:

her:"WHAT? You want to play ANOTHER live tourney? Didn't you waste $60 on one of those a month ago"

me:"yea... but that was a month ago. I would honestly like to play them all. These players aren't that good and if it wasn't for the 1 outer I would have had chiplead at final 2 tables"

her:"yea, but you didn't. That's why this is GAMBLING. Nobody has a better chance than anyone else to win these things, some people are just really really lucky. You should play a cashgame. It's faster, and it's actually possible to have an edge. And at least live, it's not rigged. "

me: "I've only ever really studied or played tournaments, trust me I probably have a bigger edge over these guys there as my cash experience is practically nil. And we've discussed this before. Online poker is not rigged, you are just very, very bad at the game. "

Her: "don't bull**** me, they are the same game"

me: ~facepalm~ "oookayyyyy... well can I just get a BJ or something then?"

Her: kneels




the fact that I keep getting coolerd out of tournaments yet can manage to come home with cash whenever I play 3/6 or 1/2 really doesn't help at all :-p

OMFG!!! I megalold! Sexism at its best!

And yes, I agree with her, tournaments are crap shoots and online poker is teh RRGGGGDDDDZ!!!!1!oneoone...

If i'm in a MTT i usually take a grav at every break.

check that, usually go back 2 back at each break

I tried having a banana at every break.

Then I realized I was 16 tabling 0.10/360 tournaments.

This did not stop me from having one at every break.

Ari -

I've definitely noticed a huge drop in my memory retention since my full time banana diet started, sometime around Borgata 2007. Goofy things. Like, I lost my cell phone in my house. Still haven't found it. But, I also have had a career year and have played literally all but two sessions on bananas. One was a sunday few weeks ago and it was my best Sunday since February, and the other was my tv table in March. It was a realllllly hard decision to not have some potassium there.

I think it definitely helps me concentrate and focus more, but I'm not sure if it makes me a better player. Not having bananas makes me more distracted due to my natural add or whatever and a worse player, but if I could somehow find that point of sober focus my results would probably be better than anything I've put up before.

Oh what a glorious +1

Sigh one final post-turkey hit before weining for international travel. And yeah Ari +1 on losing all kinds of short term memory but still have most long term.

I can provide banana's for anyone forced to have a stopover in Edmonton :-p

( aslong as it's long enough for you to actually come into the city. our international airport is 45 minute drive out of town, literally in the next city over lol)

+1... hope there's a lot of banana salesmen in budapest/prague

There is hope. Last year I went to Prague and was able to obtain weed in a city square where a black guy was openly yelling "MARIJUANA COCANIA HASHEESH YOU WANT I HAVE!" Also, there are some crooked clubs where the owners pay off local cops to let them do w/e and drugs are sold downstairs which are just sold by the black guys. It's not racist or w/e but more just the truth.

i cant tell u how much money this has cost me

almost all longterm studies have shown that when you quit use of bananas, all negative health affects will fade away within 3-6 months, so its not too much of a concern...im sure theres exceptions to this rule but i feel like whenever i decide to quit consuming them i will be fine once i get thru the minor psychological withdrawal

i definitely would be playing without bananas if i was at the FT, i would probably stop consumption on like day 4 of the main event, if i was still in.

great news, hope the bananas weren't too rotten!

fyp

NH sir.

there is no ***** way you're gonna fade enough donks to make it to Day 4, then all of sudden not take bingers in the morning before the tourney starts

Inhaling any sort of smoke has long term consequences. I too am a banana user, but your only kidding yourself if you think in 3-6 months it's "no harm no foul" after long term banana use.

these days you dont have to inhale any smoke to get the effect, cano use is pretty prevalent esp amongst our kind


also idk how a chronic user could possibly in a million years stop smoking in the middle of a live tournament and have it be a good decision

i dont inhale smoke anymore, i only inhale vapor, which is a lot different, so thats why i feel the health effects are going to be very minor on my body. i could be wrong about this, but i am fairly confident im not doing any permanent damage to my body.

regarding the live tournament hypothetical, let me clarify a bit

im not positive i would stop smoking on day 4 or on any day for that matter

how i should have phrased it is: "i hope by day 4 i would realize the EV i am potentially giving up by playing in this event stoned does not outweigh the happiness EV im gaining by playing it high right now"

basically, i hope if i am ever deep in a significant tournament, i have the common sense to stop being blazed as **** in the hope that i might actually win some money....i have tried this online to some degree with varied success and i stick by my decisions to stop smoking at certain times....i feel very strongly if i was deep in a big event i would be playing completely sober for almost all the late stages, and most definitely just getting stoned out of my gourd the second i finished up for the day.

Since the Volcano arrived, nobody ever bakes banana cakes anymore

Hanging out with the wrong crowd, obv. Despite the lovely qualities of my VaporBrothers (I think...), I was raised on pipes and baking. Every once in a while, you have to go to your roots.

...your banana roots.



Anyways, vaporizing is certainly superior imo, esp since I can carry a filled bag around campus with me.
