is WU cheap over there? Here in Europe it's a MAJOR ripoff, they charge something like 10%+ without cap.

e-checks is the way to go.. once its set up, you only have to click like 2 buttons and the deposit shows up instantly, and you can immediately start clearing the bonus.... anything that requires you to pay or go to the bank/store/etc will be inferior

I know I have heard about them doing it for other people before so it seems like they would be doing bad to turn me down...

they've offered to extend the bonus clearing period for me ( i have to make the request once it expires)

Brag: I have an outside chance to win first place in my class in my chess donkament.

Beat: The one time I played LHE during the (9-day long) chess tournament was shortly after posting in this thread, and I lost 9200 in like an hour and a half.

Variance: no u

"narrowing margins" to be a little silly?? haha the only thing silly here is your reaction to this fact.

What limits do you play??? I'm sure it's not uncommon to run at 4.0/bb over 50khands at $.50-$1.00. I'll bet you can't do that at $3-6. Is that not the silly proof that u need?

So, what's your StarsN?

I wanted to respond to this, though.

My response is as follows: LOL. Oh, and also, you don't have to beat a limit for 4bb/100 to not be PETRIFIED about "narrowing margins" (oooooh, scary!).

(Oh and btw I play mainly 15/30-100/200, and my screenname is DrArpadElo.)

He still has loads of straight draws and a few turned flush draws in his range, and the tighter tags are just as likely to pop those

must tags are going to c/r the straight draw on the flop, not the turn. Only a bad tag is going to c/r the flush draw

even if calling down was the right play, which im not saying it is, its got to be fairly close either way. folding is definitely not a bad play here

Ez fold, IMO.

Edit: tbh, turn is much closer to check behind than b/c IMO.

agreed, but once i took down almost $2k and donkeyontilt won like 12k little while ago, so the occasional big pay-off might make it worth it . . . . maybe . . .
