The Well: needbeer (WizardOfAhhs) - Page 29 - Internet Poker

Totally unrelated, but awhile back the subject of TV shows to have on while playing poker came up, and we never got your recommendations.

Thoughts?

Please note, anything with Alison Brie, Christina Hendricks, or Karen Gillan is automatically out, since there's no way I can have them around and look at a poker table.

Not sure what you mean? Seems like a pretty terrible move. Hope I didn't do it.

Yeah, completely forgot, been swamped lately with a ToDo list longer than something really long (insert inappropriate joke).

Here is a quick list of shows I've watched in the past year or so in no particular order:

Breaking Bad
Deadwood
Homeland
Friday Night Lights
30 Rock
White Collar
Modern Family
Lights Out
House
The League
Eastbound & Down
The Office
Fringe
Dexter
Workaholics
Community
Boardwalk Empire
Ultimate Fighter
Mad Men
Game of Thrones
Justified

I guarantee there are several more, but those are the ones coming to mind right now. Hopefully I mentioned something you haven't seen yet and can enjoy.

I'd never heard of Raising Hope actually until now, gonna check it out, trailer looks good, thanks for the suggestion.

Parks and Rec is okay, I watched a few episodes but it didn't really tickle my fancy for whatever reason.

Raising Hope is the best comedy on TV atm imo.

Start from Ep 1 if you can.

It is on City TV -CKVU in BC on Tuesdays at 9:30

This show actually makes you laugh out loud. Enjoy!

This trailer is worth checking out.

parks and rec gets really good at some point in season 2, i'd say. season 1 is passable. read your post in SNE, best wishes for your health and gl when you're at the tables.

for something a little different, i've started watching "in treatment". almost all of the show is a therapist (gabriel byrne from the usual suspects, can't remember what else) talking to his patients. really great program, IMO.

I would really like to get your opinion on the new rake system.

AFAIK Stars hasn't announced their official changes to the VIP program just yet for 2012, and until I know all the details I don't feel comfortable speaking with certainty. But I did touch on the subject in a podcast (it's free of course) on UG today.

FYI I don't come to 2p2 much anymore, I spend most of my time in the UG forums. I just spoke about it in a thread there. I'm not saying this to promote UG and get people there, I'm just letting you know that I prefer to answer questions in UG over 2p2.

If you're referring to the "_____________" I just used multiple underscores "_" and I put them after the abbreviation for the first stat in the row. For example the row that begins with F3 is actually an abbreviation for that very first stat in the row and the abbreviation reads as "F3___________" and all the other stats in the row I have no abbreviation. Just something I thought up to make the HUD look more organized. Hope my explanation wasn't too confusing.

Sorry it took me so long to respond, haven't been here in a while. HM2 had an update shortly after that doesn't allow this to occur anymore, so I had to remove my underscores (i.e. dividers) too :-/

I just cashed in a bunch a few days ago actually...

But I still keep a nice balance in there just in case they decide to put something above and beyond the Porsche with the same great rate that I can't pass up. :-P

Right after I cashed in about 6 million FPP, I caught a real nice heater the last 36 hours...

So things are quite nice in the poker aspect of life.

About 6.5 million.

I plan to keep it between 5-7 million going forward. When I get "too many" I'll cash some in again.

Thanks!

1) 5 million hands.
2) No one tracks this kind of thing and posts it publicly so I have no idea, but it's got to be pretty close!

And right on cue, the last 36 hours after my previous brag blog has been a disaster.

So apparently what goes up, must come down, as stated by Isaac Newton. Not sure he was referring to poker, but nevertheless I went down in flames! At least I'm having some fun with it...
