standard imo

nh, sir and typical mondays are just fighting the waiting lists.

some guy on ladbrokes won like 95k last week or so when his quad jacks got beat by a straight flush...bad beat jackpot to the rescue imo...

Not from Chicago - but one of my favorite cities to visit. Chicago Chop House my favorite steak house. Lou Malnati's deep dish pizza. Fine dining: Alinea

Hey congrats!

Kuma's Corner for burgers and beer.
I like Geno's East, but Giordano's and Lou Malnati's both hit the spot for good deep dish as well.
Peace Brewery for New Haven style thin crust pizza and good beer.
I go to Timothy O'Toole's to watch the NFL games sometimes.

Those are all in the city proper

Are you in Chicago or the burbs?

I'm in the city. Thanks for the tips everyone

not trying to be funny coordi because i respect your game, but maybe you are going to showdown too light. i know personally, i tend to think "i'm running bad" when really i was just playing bad. anyway, gl!

l o l

Anyone here used the tableratings handhistory downloader?

no its stupid imo

How exactly? Does it just give you HH's of donks rather than regs or something?

just grind yourself and get the HHs, only takes like 1 week to have 10k+ on most regs

the hhs they give you might be 3months old, therefore pretty useless

Not to mention against Stars TOS

and it violates pokerstars TOC

omg i'm so drunk right now
time haz come to conquer nl5k

JEEZ IM SUCH A LIFE NIT FML WTF ETC

Secret stars new security guy?

fk TR

I DOWNLOAD HAND HISTORIES FROM TABLERATINGS ALL THE TIME

ME TOO, I PRINT THEM OFF AS WELL AND RUB THEM ON MY TITTIES

btw i hope everyone enjoyed my free money today
