If not actual disaster, then at least being busto and owing 10K.

damn, i hope i dont get fired tomorrow.

meh take a chance. who gives a **** in the grand scheme of things if it doesn't work out?

One of my medications has a side effect of constipation. The other, diarrhea.

Not recommended.

TR?

Live 20 is considerably softer than online 10, fwiw.

Todays song: Wipe Out

I would NEVER tell someone to play 3/6 online over 20/40 on a short roll. Seriously? 3/6 online is about 5 levels tougher than live 20. Live 20 is a complete joke.

+1

now that you have piqued my curiosity, im looking foward for the results.

Jesus how starved for Captain R's posts are you guys that you're begging for details on his bowel movements? I can't imagine a less appealing topic.

Again what makes him decide to peel the flop here? What hands would he fold? My theory is that basically a 3 card flush draw is enough to peel the flop, and since there are 3 cards on the flop and most of these guys play any two suited, flop folds are rare but possible.

And regarding playing live 20/40 or online 3/6 or whatever.....

If you're a reasonably smart guy and are already pretty good at poker, you can probably beat live 20. The rub is that if you don't run well, you can lose 8K very quickly and if you're trying to live off of 10K that's a catastrophe.

If you're a reasonably smart guy and are already pretty good at poker, you probably can't beat 3/6 online. The rub is that even if you can't, your money will last at least a few months and you won't have a job during that time.

My suggestion is another job asap.

Well, now that you guys are all experts at folding toilet paper ...

The flop is the peel-and-decide street. Lots of would-be expert players take KitCloudkicker's peel-and-decide line head-up.

Had to bust out the plunger this morning. Plumber also came out and charged me $166. No pics, and it did happen.

GTFO.

Whether you do or don't, I'm interested in what you're thinking. Did you do some one-time horrible thing (e.g., pinch the administrative assistant's ass) and there's some meeting tomorrow that will decide your fate? Are you a chronic underachiever and wondering whether your boss is finally sick of it? What makes you think you're gonna get fired?

Put another way, what stops you from walking into your boss's office and asking what he/she thinks of your performance? Granted, I've had lifetime boss rungood so I've probably had better than average relationships with my bosses, but at no point did I ever leave work wondering whether I was going to be employed the next day, except for the time we thought that the entire department was going to be canned and nobody knew except for a room full of suits in Switzerland.

I'm looking for an Oaks player who wants to sell me FTP$ for cash. I work in the Emeryville area, so I can meet up at lunchtime or 5ish-7ish on weekdays and maybe weekends (but not this weekend). The amount is negotiable but I'd be aiming for the middle part of $20-$100.

Let me know if you're interested, in this thread or on PM.

Jesse can vouch that I'm a real person and that I'm neither a freak nor a very weird dude. I'll ship first if that's a barrier.

Anyone have a favorite fast food chain dessert? I pack up the family and go to McDonald's once a week and do drive through Vanilla cones and Choc. chip cookies, but looking for something different.

Requirements -- must be a national fast food chain (something I can find near my house) and must have drive through.

When my oldest son was 3, we potty-trained him. I told him that if could do #2 on the toilet, I would buy him an ice cream cake (his favorite dessert, mine too).

So one day he sat on the toilet for 15 min. and lo and behold there appeared something in the toilet. True to my word, I cleaned him up and drove to Baskin Robbins to get an ice cream cake.

So I pick out a brown chocolate/chocolate log (they're like 12 inches long and about 4 inches wide and shaped like a log) and the girl working there asked me if I want to write anything on it.

"Could you put poo poo trained on it?"
"What?"
"Poo-poo trained. My son was just toilet trained this evening. So I'm buying him this cake as a reward. I want to write 'Poo-poo trained' on it."
"Oh, OK. I see. That's um, unusual. What color lettering would you like?"
"Yellow".

I've got more funny stories poop if anyone wants to hear them. Somebody stop me...

There is a recent, very friendly super fish at the Oaks who calls the turn the "elimination card" b/c it determines if he picks up a draw to see the river.

Wendy's Frosty imo

Haha nh.

Ugh, Jesus, fold preflop and fold the river. QTo is too weak to raise UTG in a 6-handed game, and your river call is lighting 1.0BB on fire.

i've always agreed with this but lately i have been seeing some of the hot shots raising jt and even t9o utg. personally i dump kto in unfavorable conditions sometimes. i have a 34% VPIP too (probably 30ish if filtered for strictly 6 handed). maybe i am stuck in 2007.

Chocolate frosty ftw.
