October Classic Stud Forum LC Thread Brought to You by the Number Nine - Page 2 - Stud Poker

Finally cashed in one of those $50 Carbon HORSE donkament. Took me over three hours and I made a whole $.50 (15th of 2022). At the 15/30 level I was down to only 100 chips. Go me, lol.

Beat that, beeches

For the plate, I say "THXPHIL" as well. The Jopke one is good, but almost no one will get it and you will forever be explaining it.

When I was a freshman in college, I started my FTP career my cashing in one of their freerolls. Pretty good return on that investment 5 years or so later =)

Congratulations on the score. Was that $50 freeroll?

I can't be the only one who wants to read a TR, can I? Prolly you posted one already. If so, can you link me, PM or whatever? If not, can you do a trip report or even Cliffs?

TY. Yes. Bad beat, though, they changed the payout from $200 to $50 over the weekend. Free money is still free money, though, although I managed to blow through $1 right afterwards, lol.

That sucks. Seems like whenever someone makes a big score in an MTT they just blow through it at a cash game or the craps tables right after

Simple maths question from my daughter's homework:

What is 451 rounded to the nearest thousand?

I can't decide if it is 0 or 1000.

0 is not a thousand so I think the correct answer is 1000 yet 0 is closer.

BTW it is rounding, not specifically rounding up or down.

Why isn't 0 a (multiple of) 1000?

What do you multiply 0 by to get 1000?

Or am I confusing factors and multiples?

Or is zero equal to zero thousands?

Confusing myself now....

-1*1000 = -1000
0*1000 = 0
1*1000 = 1000
2*1000 = 2000
and so forth

why are you doing your daughter's homework, and why are you stumped by it?

God, my photoshop skills suck. But so far I have a goofy, nerdy, clueless guy named Banzai rubbing his chin asking in a bubble, "What is 451 rounded to the nearest thousand?

I can't decide if it is 0 or 1000.

0 is not a thousand so I think the correct answer is 1000 yet 0 is closer"

It is in a bubble by his head. Then at the end:

"When is rounding 451 not zero but 1000? When Banzai is doing the maths."

I'm gonna guess it went something like this:

daughter: "daddy, i'm stuck on this problem, can you help me?"
daddy: "sure let me see"
daddy: "..."
daddy: "hmm, what's a factor, how do you round???, mind explode etc"

and daddy looks for help.

I mean, that's what I'd do because I have a criminal heart.

These would be great, except probably a major PITA when at the BMV. Imagine the clerk trying to decipher it.

Sad but True. It still dose not take away the fact that she was 1980's hot.

Cashed 4th in another one of those $50 Carbon HORSE donkaments. Took me over 3.5 hours and I made a whole $3.50 (4th of 2381), lol.

Beat that, beeches. Free money at PL Stud (you wish).

Hey, did you get my 14k PM's? You'll be writing responses until Christmas!
