You mean they didnt give you a list of any possible side effects or resulting conditions and have you sign something.

That dont sound right mate, eh.

So what do you plan to do after this?.

Just read through and I must say that this is one of the better threads in BBV. I hope you make it, OP.

Btw, did you clean out your fridge before you checked in?

I agree, London rocks for this very reason! Just saying that the vast majority were Aussies / Kiwis / South Africans - an interestingly condensed demographic given how diverse London truly is, no? Not sure what possible crude implications I could be making here, other than something like "lol classic aussies, always renting out their bodies to science".

My actual thinking was more in terms of whether clinical trials more common / culturally accepted in those countries. A lot of people in the UK don't know much about them, and based on a few responses in this thread thinking that OP is making this up (huh?), I assume that not many people do this in the US either.

I hope these experiments won't have too bad influence on ur health, hope ur back gets better, u have to learn how to control urself when playing pokerz, maybe u should try FL there's less varience than in PLO. Last month on my birthday I lost most of my micro BR because of tilt I was like planning to quit poker, thought I was no good, but I managed to pull myself together and this month has been the best month in my poker careeer, check this graph, I hope u catch the same upswing in ur poker play, or in ur life, if u choose to quit

I will send u 1 dollar on stars

I was looking at your sharkscope graph and it seems you got doomswitched right around 2,000 games on FTP, did you notice yourself playing worse then, or was it just an excessive/extended case of running bad?

Tell us a quick beat that stays with you even now.

Any particular player that always seemed to have your number?

What are the terms around dropping out of this study, and have any of the guys done so yet?

I've only ever subscribed to one thread before this. 5 Stars!!

Good luck OP I'll be checking it out every day, those pics you took are awesome I want to ask for more but I would hate to see you get caught near the end and be denied payment. I'm guessing it won't take them too much to screw you over if they find anything to cling on to.

Amazing thread.

OP, what's your friendship with your housemates like? Do you kinda keep your distance or is there more of a collective solidarity thing going on?

**** I've often felt those cruel PLO gods might send someone to the nuthouse...but to a testing hospital???

Just don't blow that roll when you come out - stay at lower stakes, get coaching or what not, but don't p1ss it up the wall for gawds sake...


............and pics of hot nurses or GTFO obviously

The problem is that I will jump from one stake to another, I'll turn $20 into $100 then take it to another table and make it $400, then to another table and inevitably lose. Or, I'll hit the super turbo husng's. Those things are so dangeroud when you go in without any kind of gameplan... win, win , win, win, lose, lose, tilt, lose, go up in stakes, lose, lose, bust.

I don't wanna think about any beats right now :P

I can leave any time I wantm but I forfeit payment. Depending on the circumstances they might pay me pro rata. I heard about a guy on another study that left once with 2 days to go cause he couldn't stand the people he was roomed with. Apparantly they tormented him, but he provoked it, etc. It would totally suck to be stuck with people you couldn't get alone with. This experience definately has taught me how to tolerate others better. Don't have much choice!



Man.... having internet trouble in here, bear with me guys

Haha, awesome avatar Thanks man, I'm real glad you're enjoying it. I've taken a couple more covert op snapshots but yeah, I'm being careful now because I've realized there's a real risk of that happening... I'll tread carefully.

It's funny, the dynamic definately depends on the group. There are other rooms with other people doing other studies, and they all seem real quiet and awkward with each other. Our group is good. The first day everyone was quiet and kept a bit to themselves, but they gradually open up. It's a fascinating experience... think Big Brother without the flamboyant showing off or the babes. One person is a little bit too loud and gets on peoples nerves, especially first thing in the morning when everyone is asleep, but generally we're able to co-exist pretty well. We're all definately getting more comfortable around each other, but not like the shower scene from Midnight Express or anything

Haha, yes!! It was PLO all along!!! He should be in here, not me!!

I know, I'm gonna have to come up with a gameplan for that money. I have a definate tendency to make larg sums of money evaporate.

Haha man, there's one nurse I WISH I could get a shot of... one of those weak-knees inducing types ey guv *elbows ribs*
