En taro adun, Pokie.

lolol haha nh again sir, i like your paraphrasing, iirc i sed something like "honesty, the best policy "

Yeah, when you're honest it means that you can put in money on every street that you're ahead and check every street that you're not, and your opponent will oblige by making mistakes because they assume every poker player is a liar until proven otherwise. :-)

i will not let this thread die

Haha, fair enough. :-D

Do we know each other?

No, and you never will.

Do you know me?

No, and you never will.

I like those shades you're wearing, very cool.

Hisssss

You sound like a snake.

Contain me.

I think I'm going to start playing a 40bb strategy but with a 100bb buy-in so that I can win more. :-)

Best of both worlds, Pokie's a genius! :-D
