Not much different than normal. I usually 'go out' like once a month. Last month was a fluke because of my brother's wedding. I drank a lot, and I did enjoy it. But I don't really like the lifestyle. And it's expensive.

I guess I don't mind drinking a lot with family. I'm obviously very comfortable around them [and I'm never allowed to foot the bill].

Life goes on. Not a huge loss either.

I agree with bacon that US healthcare is good. But its because its private that they are good as if you have insurance they go mental fixing ya lol my friend that was in intensive care in america said that if he had of been in same state over here that he reckoned hed of died.

Also his wife said that you could literally eat your dinner off the floors they were that clean, where as here, in some hospitals the stories iv heard is like :O

Are you serious? You have a set.

just checking.

it was a fairly sizeable r/r from the villian which made me think for a nanosecond, but i thought if it was a higher set so be it.

KJ is very possible, too, as is QJss, or KQ AK from donks...

or K9 in this case. Note that the guy who reraised had K9 not a set.

umm no the CO made the big raise and he is the one that had the over set... bumble this is super standard... on that board there is nothing you can do differently

Sorry misread =P

Guess the buyin?





edit:

more...

LOL


WHERE DID YOU GET THAT TABLE BACKROUND SEEKER?

yah, you playing poker with the Blair Witch now??? 8)

that was a crap ass movie... wtf was meant to so scary about it?

tbh, I have no idea... I have a preference for Pinhead and the rest of the Cenobites myself... 8)

the exorcist wins in scary movies category for me... i obv mean the first one not the any of the 3 sequels they released since.

i also kinda liked "the exorcism of Emiliy Rose" and the Kubric "Shining"

Some of the old 'classics' are being remade this year I heard, hopefully they will be epic. I think its Nightmare on elm street, hellraiser and chucky. Maybe more not sure.

Not posted for a while, withdrew everything from stars to take a break, since then I've blew my roll on other random trash, clothes etc. So I'm back at 2nl. Bad times.

what kind of roll you got? perhaps you should think of grinding husngs ... if you have some idea on hunl play then it would be pretty easy to build a role and pretty quick too.

personally, i still don't have the nerve to look in the mirror and say Candyman 5 times, and I'm 31!

Just $40

I suck HU tbh, ask Ro :P But sngs are a possibility, anything to get me back to 10nl really. I'm hoping it wont take any longer than 4 weeks, but maybe thats too optimistic.
