I shipped the bonus last week, it's tuesday already and it hasn't been applied yet. Damn, looks like I might end up in hospital and miss my stellar which is almost done, so without the invitational bonus I might just pay rake with no rebate, so I don't even feel like playing now.

1 thing I never done before: had an operation as a way of celebrating New Year, #2 been to the USA, #3 eaten sushi.

It is usually applied midweek. If it hasn't been credited by Friday, I'll email them for you. As you can imagine they're probably a bit short for the holidays.

I have never:

1) Eaten or tried any sushi. It's raw fish!! How can you eat that??
2) Seen or done cocaine
3) Fallen asleep at the final table of an online MTT :-)

Kind of a stretch to come up with things:

1) Never taken any currently or formerly illegal drugs.
2) Never had a broken bone.
3) Never watched "The Goonies." This may not seem odd unless your elementary/junior high years were in the 80s.

Nothing earth shattering.

1. I have never stayed in my country of origin for more than 18 months at a time.
2. I have never folded KK pre to one bet.
3. I have never sexed a redhead :-(

I never folded aces pre-flop.
I never overbet the flop in PLO.
I never got quartered in regular poker.

Seriously,

I never had a wisdom tooth extracted.
I never had anal sex.
I never watched "The Sound of Music" and "The Addams Family".

5. Milkshakes for the kids
6. Homemade salad dressings.

Never made soup/ice cream like the demos.

Best money I've ever spent in a kitchen appliance.
Thanks for sharing.

I make an occasional smoothie with my $40 blender which occasionally has fruit chunks in it and is a pain in the ass to clean.

The Vitamix guys are coming back to Costco in 6 months, so I'm thinking of picking one up then if I have some extra money lying around.

Great show fellas.... Phil Galfont is always a great guest.

No coincidence that not a soul has claimed "I've never peed in a bottle while grinding"?

Adam - taking the man's name dates to when women were considered chattel. It was the way to express ownership. Yes as a Canadian I consider that sexist.

And my wife (Honours BA Women's Studies) told me it was!!

Phil you are spot on why poker static never worked for me. The regularity of this show is one of many reasons why I am a loyal listener. As a low stakes recreational player I chose the Essential Plan but had chosen Elite Plan if I had spent more time playing poker.

Can anyone explain to me why Phil (who states he used to subscribe to all the major training sites and has just launched his 2nd as an owner) would be in the hole over $1 million lifetime in HORSE? Did he just not bother to watch any mixed game vids or seek out training for them privately? Maybe it's just runbad ftw
