July HSNL **** Thread - Page 30 - High Stakes Poker Pot Limit and No Limit

everyone, i would like you to meet FRANK YANG:

thanks to willie in health and fitness forum for bringing this badass to my attention.

funny vid.

his jumping ability is up there.

but i still say the only impressive physical feat anyone can accomplish is bench pressing 485LBS w/o a lift off or a spot. haha self promo flame away.

edit; replace impressive with insane, as per your own preferences.

I noted that too, mostly just cuz he's Canadian so it surprised me a bit that he didn't grab the hockey stick eh. (Although, Morneau and Bay are currently 1-2 in RBIs in the AL..)

Stop reading magazines and come over and see the Bink Factory.

Someone is trying to sell Baluga's book for $200 in the book forum. I figured someone here prolly has his contact info and could let him know.

(I'm guessing he has terms that prevent resale but if not I guess ignore this post.)

jbro,

i'm not sure it's actually possible to have terms that prohibit someone from reselling a book. ianal, but i don't think so? making copies of it and distributing, sure, but selling a used book?

fwf,

hm, this brings an interesting idea: there's a lot of people who play lower stakes who say they wish they could play higher stakes guys so they can learn stuff. what if they straight up just paid by the hand played? for people interested in coaching, they could charge 2 fees, one to just play the person, another for play + hand analysis, but rated by hands played.

but fwf, does your statement "if i'm better than you by more than $1/hand" mean that if you play a bunch of hands with the person, and they beat you over a reasonable sample, that you will not pay them?

Yeah I played in high school. 1st base, and the occasional relief pitching stint (typically had as many hit batters as strike outs).

I think a mod deleted it.

I copied the text with his e-mail address though. I will send you that via PM since it probably shouldn't be posted here.

i might be down to play some of u for 1$/hand, gotta think a bit. i think my hierarchy would be Fwf>>Ike>>>>>>>AE, just in terms of who's the most fun. have 75k or so i left online to dick around with for summer after i cashed out my roll for school, but im planning on total non-poker immersion for at least my first semester. this could be a nice little challenge though before total cold turkey commences.

anyways starting school in the fall, full course load- Reed college in portland or. id be down for some kind of scholarly wagering but i believe im in the hippy-dippy evaluation based tradition....
