This will confuse him too. It denotes the small bet (and big blind), not the small blind.

Haha so you edited it to say "generally denotes the bb" which could still mean big bet or big blind?

Double sigh.

I am not worried about it, yet. But, I am not going to do that again, even if I see him and get paid today. Just thinking about it is a distraction that I can do without.

I did the same-thing. I loaned it to him because he seems like a guy that has integrity and now, it's been almost one month, and I still haven't see him.

I know I will get my money back sooner or latter, but it is certainly a distraction that I will avoid in the future.

Lol no, you guys are not correct.

i've not played the 10k. but the 2500 is not a tough field at all ime. very little different than the 1500 full rings.

Maybe I just got leveled by someone saying he was at some point, or maybe I just totally made up this idea. I really have no clue. Certainly all the fun gambling stories didn't dissuade me from thinking that, though.

(As long as I'm talking about how my racial stereotyping from posting history is horrible, I was wrong about Captain R for years as well)

Oh, I don't know. That game started when I showed up and broke half an hour after I left, so at least your game selection is on par with everyone else. Besides, I used to have the exact same game selection criteria at Bay, and it generally worked out okay.

People have an lol sample size approach to WSOP tourneys. If their starting table is horrible and the starting table of a few friends are bad, it is the toughest tourney in the world, not that the 3 of them all ran bad at table draw.

Every wallet I've had since I've started playing LHE has disintegrated after a year or so of jamming bills and large denom chips into it. Anyone use anything they really like that holds up to abuse?

edit: that's not a veiled brag to head off the inevitable, since those chips and bills have just as swiftly been removed, at least this year.

bills go into a rubber band. big chips go into the fifth pocket. or spend a little more for better quality leather and craftsmanship.

I've had the same wallet for about 10 years.

wow, don't put chips in your wallet ever.

And like lolmit said, get a rubber band.

Shrug and I had open limpers at every table I was at until I busted 13th. I am confident in saying except for the main event the toughness of the field is predominantly determined by the buyin size, just like with cash games.

Spending a bit more for something sturdy is the plan this time... but given poker has wrecked my conception of what "a little more" really means, are you talking $60 for a "nice" wallet or $250 for an Italian leather balla style bill fold?

i wouldn't want a bill fold cuz they're huge. i use a front pocket wallet. but i'd just go to the store and tug on the leather and see which seems toughest and has the tightest stitching.

i just looked up my wallet and it's technically just called a card case. i put non 100s and a few cards in it. i'm sure this is no help at all. but it looks the same as when i bought it over 3 years ago.

I use one (1) mens dress sock, knotted at the open end. Bonus: in a pinch, it's better than mace.
