If any of you need anything unbearable designed starting around July, let me know. I'd love to have someone pay me to develop a freeze ray. Might be better handled by PM... or burner phone. Think about it this way, how many other poker players do you know who have an engineer on staff? Prove you're a baller and not a low stakes grinder.
More information on freeze ray pls. I would also be interested in a death ray or a shrink ray. Or a panty-wetting ray.

balla graphs available via PM

LOL Elo, you crack me up.

Nope, I am not the richest person here. I am sure of that, but we have done a good job of investing. My wife and I have been investing since the day we got married and I am hoping that it will pay off in in 15 years when I turn 55. I don't want to work past 55. I started investing at 22, but I was given some poor advice that I have since rectified, but not completely.

When you are right out of college and starting to invest, you think you have plenty of time to start. 15 years ago, IRA's & 401K's were huge because you could gain a pre-tax benefit. Unfortunately, I feel that tax rates are going to do nothing but go up in the future, so I am really over-taxing myself be being involved in these type of investments. That, coupled with the rule that you can't get into your IRA's or 401K's until a certain age, 59.5 or 62 without penalty, if you want to retire early, you have to have something to live on during that gap. That's where stock purchases, mutual funds and some private investing can make the difference. If I would have done it correctly, I would been able to retire by 50. Now I hope we can quit by 55.

I get jealous of you guys carrying around a bunch of cash. I could never do that. Hell, I don't keep much in my bank account either. The wife would just spend it. Cash Rich just seems so much more fun than thinking "I have xxx amount of dollars in my investments". I guess the grass is always greener.

Wow, feel free to just skip over my post because that is a jumbled mess and here are the cliffs.
1. Verno isn't rich
2. Diversify your bonds, my nintendos.

@Pope--So did I!!!

@ Scorcho--Just because you like Asian women, it doesn't mean you have to pictures Mrs. Verno as a 75 year old Asian lady.

@Daiquiri--You have said a lot of dumb things since I have known you, but your last statement might be the dumbest.

@Dragon--Best picture ever, You da man!!!

I truly felt sorry for BB when I saw his hand.

Poker Stars $2/$4 Limit Hold'em - 6 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter By DeucesCracked Poker Videos

Pre Flop: (1.5 SB) Hero is MP with A J
1 fold, Hero raises, 2 folds, SB calls, BB 3-bets, Hero caps!, SB calls, BB calls

Flop: (12 SB) T K T (3 players)
SB checks, BB bets, Hero calls, SB calls

Turn: (7.5 BB) A (3 players)
SB checks, BB bets, Hero calls, SB calls

River: (10.5 BB) Q (3 players)
SB checks, BB bets, Hero raises, SB folds, BB calls all in

Final Pot: 14 BB
BB shows K K (a full house, Kings full of Tens)
Hero shows A J (a Royal Flush)
Hero wins 13.5 BB
(Rake: $2.00)

at least his own stupidity/brokeness saved him 2+ bets on the river
02-24-2011 , 08:21 PM

obviously its dependant on the player, but against most non-maniacs i dont cap. i would guess its fine though because u have the sb in there with any 2 cards increasing your equity. i would also raise on this flop. u have a royal draw, try to get him to fold 99, and if he doesnt who cares, u have a mirrion outs(well, maybe not if he has kings full)
