*****Official February "greatest place on the interwebs" Chat Thread!***** - Page 10 - Micro Stakes Pot Limit and No Limit

I was referring to Edison's way of use the court system in loosely related patent disputes, effectively blocking a good part of competition. It's okay to protect one's own inventions but to attack others who might create something better...

So patent abuse at courts is nothing new - Edison did it in late 1800s. One might say he was deservedly a genius and ahead of his time. Or one might say that the economic power struggle strategies of the day have not evolved in 130 years.

Just throwing some stuff out....

It's XP. Anyway, I bought a new computer that will arrive next week, and then I'll probably use vista. Let's hope things work better in the new pc and that I can use the hud in +16 tables.

No, you don't need a hardfast rule when it comes to women. Interpersonal relationships are wayyyyy too complicated for simple black and white rules.

That said, this dilemma is EZ. Kick her to the curb. You won't be getting what you want anyway with a kinda-fat homely firecrotch - the effort isn't worth it. Good girls take a lot of work... is that what you want to spend your time doing?

I lost a bottle of scotch in a heads-up Omaha match against my buddy.

I feel like King Niche.

I'm trying to make platinum this month, and eventually make SN. However my biggest goal is to increase my bankroll and continually move up in levels. I'm succeeding so far more less.

However I met this other girl on NYE, we ended up making out. However the next day I realized she's not quite as pretty as I initially thought. She's slightly over weight but the thing is she has red head and I've always had a thing for redheads and I don't think I've ever had a true firecrotch.

However if I'm going to see the firecrotch, I'm going to have to invest some time as she's a good girl. So now that means she will become a time leak. Plus its my daughters bday this weekend so I'll have her for the whole weekend.

Now when it comes to drinking, I've cut it out 100%, its a hardfast rule. However I'm questioning now do I need a hardfast rule when it comes to women? Its so easy to get sidetracked.

The thing is, I don't really like her that much, I'm only doing it because of the novetly (firecrotch) aspect. Now I don't care what The Morality Police says about using women, its not a concern for me, so save your lectures.

But my question is, do I cut these time leaks before they become too much or am I cutting out too much of my life, my problem is the snowball effect. Next thing you know, I'll have 3 g/f's and won't be playing the volume I want. My goal for February is 100k hands.

Hey is there a reason that there is no 2p2 facebook network? - or at least I can't find it - or that there is no poker network in general? - or at least I can't find it.

well, there is

AIM, and I would love to have some more people from 2p2 on my AIM, talking about hands and such
My poker netwerk is very slim and yesterday evening i was thinking it's a pretty strange community, "internet poker players",
the change is pretty big we will never see eachother live BUT if wel continue playing we will be at the higher stakes in 5 years looking back: "do you remember those micro stakes days?"

I think the guys at the pokercast started something like that. You might poke around their forum.

Let's see, now you can:

1. Rent a car for the normal price.
2. Get drunk at bars.

I suggest you exercise both privileges at once to celebrate.

Dang, that's a good point. I think you can't rent at all from most places under 21, but 21-24 they hit you with an extra fee. So he should prob still do my plan. But throw in some over 21 stip clubs and vegas obv.
