October Low-Content Thread - Page 29 - Medium Stakes Poker Forum

Once is a forgivable typo, twice is mega monkey tilt-inducing furor.

I'm off to take out my frustrations (at our nation's horrible spellers) on the dance floors of Los Angeles tonight. At what point will I be too old to go clubbing... 4 years ago?

dont be a nit! i deleted a portion and left a portion trying to make it make sense! i am anti-poor spelling myself, but boo for concern in a poker forum!

It's spotty at best.

I was in borgata a while ago on a monday morning. There were three games going. I was sitting in the back surfing the web when Bernie came over.

"You can't use your computer in here."
"oh security said it was fine."
"They did? let me go check" (****) "Yeah Stan said you can't use it."
"no problem."
"just so we know, which guard said it was fine."
"I don't know i didnt get a look at the guy."
"well he has to be punished."

i hope no one lost their job because i wanted to check 2p2.

I believe he was referring to a dance club, not a strip club. Although in some places it can be hard to tell the difference. The key is that in dance clubs, you're supposed to buy drinks for the half-naked women, and in strip clubs, you just give them dollar bills.

i just point and go "rack"

maybe i shoulda introduced myself

You sure it was me? The empty rack sounds right, but I don't remember this.

Anyway, next time, by all means add a "hi" too. "Huh" is advanced repartee for me, but I'll try harder next time.

To Andyfox - I hope you weren't playing 40 today / are who I thought you might be, because if you're that guy, yikes.

I don't play Sundays. I'll PM you my cell #, next time you think it might be me, call. Or ask Andrea if I'm present.

And even though it wasn't me, "yikes" is a good description of my game.

I hate to admit it but I'm a losing NL player.

I make quick decisions as if I was playing limit.
I don't plan my hands well.
I think I can run over the table when I can't.
I think I can play averages hands pre-flop and turn a profit with them, but I suck so I end up losing more.
I have no confindence in my decisions.
I've read a few books but never put the hours in to get better.
I play once in a while, and think "these players suck" but I lose all the time.
And everyone else seems to make a set when I have AA or KK.

so sad.

I think you missed Howard's joke. Whereas some of us are complaining about being too old for dance clubs, Howard is saying he is so goddam old that not only is he way too old for that, he might even be too old for strip clubs. Haha, etc.

You're doing it wrong.

(Never buy a chick a drink at a club, at least not if you want to hook up with her).

Double fail. Well, actually, I haven't been to a dance club in....three years? I also can't remember the last time I bought a woman a drink (that I didn't know already in a friendship context). Probably four years. Come to think of it, I can't remember the last time I hooked up....

Confidence picks up women. Confidence = getting them to buy you a drink

Howard just doesn't realize that there's a 50% AARP discount.

Why you should get some sleep before you play poker...

12 limpers, I call 7

in SB, BB checks.

Flop 9

(14 players, 14 sb)
I donk with my open-ended straight draw, 3 callers, LP raises, button cold-calls, I call, everyone calls.

Turn 6

(6 players, 13 bb)
I think and check, EP bets, 2 callers, I think for a long time because I'm not sure if I made my straight because somehow the card is in the middle of my openender and then realize I have the second nuts and raise, EP 3-bets, only button calls, I call.

River T

(3 players, 22 bb)
I check, EP bets, button folds, I call.

EP shows T7o

Weird $hit, I didn't know Di Dang is a real poker pro's name, apparently Urindanger (some HSNL online pro). I seriously thought DeuceKicker asked me if I knew Didang. Maybe he really did...

I need to get some sleep.

No but some guy at my 40 game last week asked me "How's your FISH?!" and then 3-bet me preflop. I had no idea what that meant. Nor did PokerBob who was sweating me. I think he was calling me a fish.

By the way, Frond, I've met you twice and I think I'd recognize you if I saw you but it's been almost a year I think. Do you still play exclusively at HG?
