If you’re bored I’d take the same action. I can’t even read the board in Omaha.

Has potential. I sent you a message.

I played for 4 hours in 3-6 and ended up +$60 but I paid maybe $30 or $40 in rake during that time. Just sitting at the table you can slowly see everyone's stacks shrinking. There has to be at least $100 leaving the table every hour which is usually more than most people buy in for at that stake.

How do players come back week after week, year after year of consistently losing or maybe breaking even/winning once in a while? Do people not realize that they're losing so much? They don't care? Or are there enough new players joining the pool to make up for the ones who do quit.
Hello everyone! I hope all are safe during these strange times. Haven't been around here over 4-5 years. Miss you guys

Regarding the question above, the answer is simple: the jackpot of course! everyone is a jackpot winner!

What Doug said. On the positive side, a HUHU 50BB match will be over very fast quite often. You do get your money's worth in a roller coaster of emotions if you opponent is running hot

I agree that giving odds on heads up match is a bad bet vs good players but in this case i was getting odds.

I'd take Bob148 side especially if given odds in.HUHU even if 50 BB LHE is too random to capture EV / Long run / etc of whose better. PS: Too stingy to actually place bets & sans players I indicated earlier.

I still have my "one time". I'd like to use it now for a vaccine to be developed soon.

Can I get a one time for my best friend to open a Hedge Fund as side income?

He briefly explained to me his ROI last week, month, Year to Date and think he's matching average of Hedge Fund returns in top 5% range like he's done last 2 years

hey stranger. nothing like the plague to bring the elders out of the woodwork. weren't you the one that did the 5k post that was a compilation of a ton of other posters seemingly successful attempts at masterpiece creation? Now i'm curious gonna search.

well i couldn't find the suspected treasure, but instead I stumbled upon a forum moment of serendipity.

I am hereby stating my intention to join you in Vegas over the Fourth. I trust we'll join each other in a fr 30 game where we can both apply our ol skills. I'm bringing my Tommy Bahama shirt, Rainbow sandals and some khakis.

I'll introduce myself right after the game and buy you a beer or three.

Love,

doc
the moment someone like leodoc chooses to be a part of your experience on earth is to be smiled on.

Sharing a video from a buddy of mine who's been a friendly mentor to me within the Dallas Magic Club. I'll post some of my own videos soon.

On a related note, I'm planning to do an 8-year-anniversary post about how poker changed my life. Seriously, everywhere I look I feel like I see lessons I learned playing poker that apply to other areas of life or things I just look at differently now that I have 8 years of study under my belt. Even though I barely ever play anymore, my poker years are always going to stick with me as special years of my life.

For anyone who hasn't seen them yet (probably very few as often as I pimp these), here is a link to my 6-year post, and I very strongly recommend the 4-year post linked from there - I still stubbornly believe it should be the first post any prospecting poker player reads:

daltxcoltsfan certainly loves to stop and smell the roses.

now i'm wondering not how poker has changed your life, but instead im wondering if you started to carry yourself any differently after seeking my advice privately regarding your beginners posts. i remember you were a bit apprehensive about advertising it. sure maybe over the years you took a little heat, but pimpin ain't easy, or so I've heard. there will be people that don't like you in life no matter what you do. im sure mother theresa herself had a few haters back in the day. she would have prayed for her haters. I say **** em.

now i have live and let die guns n roses version in my head. my day is complete.

Totally unrelated to my previous post, I have some poker books I'm looking to sell. Is that allowed on here? I looked at the two Marketplace forums, and Books and Publications, but didn't really see a "fit".

Here are some of the books I'm trying to unload:
Further Limit Hold'Em
The Intelligent Poker Player
Hold'Em Poker for Advanced Players
High-Low Split Poker for Advanced Players
The Illustrated Guide to Texas Hold'Em
The Illustrated Guide to No-Limit Texas Hold'Em
Every Hand Revealed
Kill Phil
Winning in Tough Hold'Em Games
Ken Warren Teaches Texas Hold'Em
Caro's Book of Poker Tells
Beyond Tells
Moneymaker
Annie Duke
All In (Grotenstein & Reback)

Feedback welcome - any serious offer will be considered - I'd rather sell them to poker fans and players than some hoarder or collector on eBay.

iIve played over 50 rounds of golf in my life. I haven't golfed in 10 years. I played 18 holes over the past few days. the last time I played 10 years ago I lost every ball in my bag and walked off the course after attempting to tee off on the 6th hole. I had become quite sedentary since winter so the fresh air and long walk was good for me. I only lost one ball on the first nine, but I lost 4 or 5 on the last nine due to the abundance of water hazards.

Hit some good shots which is all I ever hope to get out of golfing. My best shot today was the first hole after running out of tees. so i had to hit off the ground with my 5 wood on a 200 yard par 3. got it within a few feet of the green on the skirt and made the par.

i think not having the 2, 3, and 4 irons in the bag was good for me mentally(5 wood is so much easier to hit than those clubs) and physically(little less weight to carry).

next time i plan to play the hilly course at lake Ponkapoag. what used to be two donald ross courses has become one course. he knew how to make a nice course for recreational play that featured enough trouble and twists to make it fun, but all the holes typically had an entrance that you could hit a runner on the green through.

After looking it up last night it seems they rehabilitated the 18 holes that were shut down for years. An overgrown par 5 is a sight to behold. You can’t stop nature from taking its course. Sometimes you just have to let it happen naturally, and then after the healing period you can intervene to make a good product.

Now I want to watch caddyshack.

Are you sore?
06-06-2020 , 04:49 PM
none of the old nagging injuries came back, but this morning my left shoulder was a little sore. not so much now. other than that a little tight and stiff but no pain.
