trickett taking it down

The one drop has got me thinking....

would there be any interest in a ssfr charity thread... here's what i was thinking:

-open to anyone
-everyone commits a % of their winnings to either a charity of their choice or one of a few options, something like that
-at end of month post graphs and donate
-whoever has most winnings (either overall, or in each % group) gets some sort of cash prize from the pooling (probably a horrible idea in hindsight)
-post ss of donation screen, make a positive difference in the world by playing poker.
- ppl could gamble, x-book etc.

i think this would be a great way to encourage everyone to give back (whether they are shipping 5figs or grinding rb) amongst the commoradory etc.

i'll pledge 5% to the Alzheimer's Foundation of America http://www.alzfdn.org/?gclid=CI6GkLa__rACFYcBQAodjyd1Fg for my profits this month. can get the info. probably the least selfish thing ive done in a while.

so everyone would donate to their own charity and its not a pooled moneypot that goes to one charity?
i give to charity but the amount i give has nothing to do with my poker month or something, so dont get the connection between those two..

it's just another way of giving back

how about a 'poker players w/o rolexes charity'?

I can't win anymore just cashed out my role and self banned for 180 days. All i have done for the past 4 months is pay rake and broke even. Back to school for me before its too late

I swear I don't know anybody in this thread anymore

Anybody know if Esfandiari had all of his action, or what % he had? Same for Trickett

I'd assume neither of them had more than 20% of themselves. Tricket could have had more, but Antonio, no way.

I could swear I heard Mueller and Hachem snorting coke in the booth, then babbling like maniacs and gaying it up. Was pretty funny.

Quite a bit if discussion in NVG One Drop thread (p.78 ish?)

Most common rumors seem to be 15% ish.

Sick hand example Stars, wp

I read that Trickett had a 50/50 deal where the investor put up the full million......nice life

Possible you're thinking of Sexton? Read the same thing about him in an article in the WSJ iirc

I think they had similar deals.

Thats also what Mike Haxtoh had, how tilting is that

yeah they did

matchbook must be pretty chuffed, heard he won a 2 mill dollar pot in macau recently too.

Dankness3 (Will Jaffe) HU for a bracelet:

hmm did he play midstakes up until last yr then play a bit of 100nl? Not sure if im thinking of right guy, regardless gl dank

He played a ton of midstakes, and was SNE... not sure about the 100nl. GL Will!

I don't know Dankness personally but I hope he wins. His opponent is Brazilian. I have nothing against Brazilians- just Brazilian poker players; they always have a large national flag draped over them, annoying fans, they like to slowroll. and they have no idea what they're doing.

Funniest thing I've seen in awhile:

caught this gem on youtube yesterday, the whole series is on there. think i'm hooked:

MeleaB for Prime Minister of Canada, one time!

hey dudes, computer noob seeking help.

looking into upgrading my computer and getting a 30 inch. advice appreciated. which brand is the best to get? (dell or samsung?). also what kind of computer/graphics card is needed to run this monitor?

and i think already know why but what are the reasons to not grinding on a 46" TV, etc. is it cuz TV's won't give you the high screen resolution/pixels as a 30" and while you have a bigger screen you will end up fitting less tables on it. <--asked just in case cuz roommate was playing diablo 3 on his 46" and it looked good haha.

thanks all

i think a lot of graphics cards will handle a 30, just make sure there is a DVI port. i would get a 500+ watt power supply or more since they arent expensive and better to overbuy so you can keep it for your next build
