so let me see if i got this right:
i should flat 4bets w QQ, and then stack off if no A or K on flop, otherwise fold, yes?

reminds me of a joke some guy I worked with on a project.

Dude: "I think my new roomate is gay"
Me: "Mark? really, I think he is just a little strange, that is all."
Dude: "Maybe, but his dick tastes like ****.".

My promotions page says i qualified but when i actually go to register, it says I dont have any tickets.

ya but i just took the money.
it was crazy. they gave 8 seats in the one i played and I was always in last place with like 23 people left and I somehow managed to squeek in.

click on your my promotions page and then race to the main event for directions/details.

I sent them an email yesterday and they responded today. They said they forwarded my email to the tournament department and they will respond SHORTLY. ya right.

lol it's so disgusting I know and trust so many people and have had interactions and dealings with people involving thousands of dollars and never thought twice and I've always thought about how amazing it is that there can be that kind of trust between people where irl we'd likely be drawing up contracts and getting lawyers involved. Like there are several people where we could trade our entire bankrolls and both send and likely not even think twice because we just know that we'd get it.

Then I read **** like the IFS scam thing, the gary_neville/ebon propbets, stuff about collusion in high stakes (Stoxtrader for online, Men/anonymous stories for live) and it's just amazing how ****ing scummy some people are. Like the heavy majority of poker players have more integrity than most people in the real world imo because we realize that our word is everything and if you don't have that you basically have nothing. But the bad ones in the poker world really are lowlifes of the worst kind. Super pathetic really, not sure how they can even live with themselves.

You do know internet is full of scammers right? Can't really blame it on poker, if you look how many people get scammed on daily basis...

I know no one irl who has been scammed for more than $100. I know several people who have been scammed out of tens of thousands of dollars through poker. Most internet scams simply send out a bazillion emails hoping to get the dumbest of the dumb to respond. In poker they target good and otherwise intelligent poker players. Also I'm not blaming it on poker but note most of these scams were done by otherwise competent poker players. Even someone like Jason Ho spent enough time playing that I'm sure he is a winner at micro/small stakes nlhe. Like if these were people who never played poker at all targeting poker players that would be one thing but we're talking about poker players scamming other poker players.

great movie quote, we goin to sizzler

LOL

emerging democracy, brag, beat and variance all in one.

isn't his era like .8 this year?

request hh's from ftp, purge corrupted sessions, load requested hh's

this is sexy.

1. yes, but i'd purge everything from that day first to be sure

2. they've started the "race to the main event" again, so once you hit 3k points for the week you get a ticket.

i was thinkin about having a poker night in DC one of these nights. I know a few of you are from the area. Anyone from around the area interested in getting ripped and playing some 50nl live pokerz? I'll host it.

Well your post explains itself doesn't it? These scumbags realize how easy it is to scam online players because generally we're a very trusting and honorable bunch and only lowlifes would take advantage of that. They'd rather cheat and steal people than to actually grind out profits at stakes where they're winners.

ty, will try this tonight

True that! I was once swapping with a cake reg for FTP money. The swap was $5k. Reg accidentally sent the swap twice (cause cakes software is SOOO ****ty) and I just snap-sent back the $5k extra. In real life, that's like enough for some people i know to end friendships and run.

it would be more accurate to say the line is biased toward whichever team gets more action, favorite or underdog. e.g., notre dame football (or u of michigan) or chicago cubs baseball. regardless of their fav/dog status, those two plays get more action because of their fan bases. so the book has to give a better price on their opponents to balance out the action, which is almost always their goal, as you said.

(if they think the public/squares are flat out wrong, they'll keep the lines where they are and "take the bet themselves," so to speak. but that's fairly rare.)

are you saying you flatted QQ vs. me?

Yeah I know, but that gets boring after awhile. I don't have the discipline to just keep betting that.

I am up for it. Gotta be fun!

Betting on Cubs baseball:

OMG!!!! OMG!!!! I just heard on TMZ that Snooki was making out with The Situation in Miami last night after breaking up with her bf...... whoaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

How long have you been around the webz? People get scammed on daily basis for thousands of dollars. Internet scam/fraud is pretty sick. You have no idea........

you are doing it wrong. Don't bet on them to win.

lol interwebz scamaments.

Brock, meet me in Montreal in 10 mins. I gtg.
