got involved in a $2700 pot in a $200 no-limit game the other night.

I was a 3:1 favor getting my entire stack in against two guys who had me covered. One had a flush draw the other had KK against my trips.

Somebody please tell DeathDonkey that the D.C. free weekend sign up sheet does not work - it's like the signup button has been disabled or something. Or maybe a higher power is trying to tell me not to look at coaching videos.

Their website is a PITA. Some geek got way too tricky with java and html. He thought it would be cool, but it's just a PITA to use.

What browser are you using? It works completely fine for me in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

Just stepped into Commerce and it's midnite. I only get to play nowdays ony monthly Vegas trips. It's been a while since I've stepped foot in here. Archie saw me and greeted me at the door. Armine came up and said hi as well, calling me by my initials. 5 $20-40 tables going, not a winner or 2+2er in sight. You all move up to $40-80 on the weekends?

So donkeys as far as the eye can see. I fully expect to be pummeled for four racks in less than an hour for making that statement.

It's good to be home.

there were plenty of 2+2ers and winners playing the 20 tonight so I don't know what you are talking about.

Support Rep: "What browser were you using?"

Me: "Explorer".

Support Rep: "What version of Explorer?"

Me: "Version 8, the latest"

Support Rep: "Oh, that's your problem. Explorer 8 is incompatible with almost everything, we only work with Explorer 7. Everyone knows 8 is incompatible, even Microsoft".

Me: "But we also tested with Firefox and Safari, on Mac and on Windows and your site didn't work"

Support Rep: "Yea, we don't work with non-standard browsers, they're incompatible with almost everything too."

I bit my tongue and thanked the VP for his time.

Here is one reminder from last year's party.



If you want more, just PM me so I can send you directions/details.

And boc, you in particular have zero excuses for not attending. You are young, unattached and live relatively close. You should at least stop by for a complimentary drink or two on your way to funner places, otherwise I will hound you mercilessly on this forum, and any time you show your grill at CAZ.

Thank god this is actually no longer true. 60% of our traffic in the last month used Firefox, 20% used IE. 20% used some combo of the remaining browsers.

Haha yeah this is pretty standard, basically IE 8 is a complete cluster****, but older versions of IE were all pretty much **** to begin with, so anyone who develops for IE has to pick their poison. We support IE as minimally as we can, if we were in a more corporate industry maybe we'd need to re-think that, but I'm not going to apologize for bringing really cool technology to our site at the expense of people having a tough time with an outdated, relic of a browser

oh i'm coming

i'm guessing i need to wear a costume though, eh? That's a pretty tall order. I'll prolly just scrape together a Hellmuth outfit.

Preflop:

7 way pot which is a touch above average. You are the BB. Do you raise:

A8s
KQo
99

Boc, having a cool ,thoughtful costume exponentially increases your chance at relations with the sexy Arizona females, in my experience.
10-03-2009 , 06:39 PM
Wear what ever makes you feel comfortable, the point is to enjoy yourself. I told my wife no more hot and heavy costumes for me. This year I'm wearing a thong.

One thing about statistics for business use is that they can be a closed loop; perhaps so few of your users use IE because it works so poorly on that system, even though it has 2/3 of the market.

No. I'm no pokerstover but I bet it shows that 7 way you are likely to have any of those hands dominated in at least one spot. Besides, you are more likely opening yourself to a 3bet than to a fold down the line. Wait for the flop.

Really?

Then poor at table selection I guess. The game I was in was nit tight except when I was in a hand. For instance, I raise UTG and am 3 bet by sour lady who PJ has described in the past. Imbecile poster calls. Life nit(sighed multiple times when other players took too long to bet, bet all in incorrect amounts, etc) thinks a while and cold calls the three bet and we take the flop four ways. Life nit who I think believes he is an excellent player shows up with a winning A3 after he is called by imbecile. He then takes multiple stabs at guessing my hand, all of which are incorrect. I asked for a table change prior to that to the game nearest the cage and got moved to a great table full of gambool and opponents who say all the awesome things that Commerce is famous for .

What about the un-sexy ones? Depending on how much you're gonna drink your costume's effect on them could be almost as important.
