    Yay !!!

    Nice artwork too !!!

    Speaking of card game (it's in the picture), we have our annual WSOP playoff tourney this coming Saturday here. I am one of the semi-finalists with a handful of preliminary wins.

    Each preliminary win gets you $100K in chips.

    So I will be starting with $600K in chips.

    Our pub will send 4 players to Vegas for the annual 2017 WSOP.

    Hoping to be one of them.

    Poker is 1/3 training, 1/3 skill, and 1/3 luck.

    i used to be into that until the government shut down poker stars and full tilt, only the canadians and europeans can do that now in the comfort of their home, ironically.

    J.Jett's song is that of a skank being a skank.

    She set a new low for skanks when she came along.

    It's funny what Pat Benatar said about J.Jett --

    "Everybody thought I was a skank until Joan Jett came along and then she made me look like the Virgin Mary!"

    I played a ton of tournaments in Tunica Miss. The Vegas of the south. It's where I learned the importance of position betting, knowing when my pocket Jacks are absolutely no good, the difference in cash game/tourney play, and rake

    If you position-bet you can win a few blinds, but you can also lose big-time against someone trapping you.

    My own issue is that I play too tight. I need to see a few more flops and loosen up.

    As Kenny Rogers sings -- any hand's a winner -- this means any 2 card Holdem Poker hand has a 5% chance of winning even 7-2 unsuited (which is 5.86% probability of winning and the worst possible hand).

    And any hand's a loser -- even a pair of Aces -- which only wins 31.4% of the time and is the best possible hand.

    So you really do got to know when to hold'em and know when to fold'em.

    I don't know if Joan Jett was a skank. I never thought of Pat Benatar or Joan Jet as skank like.
    The song is definitely disturbing and always was.

    This is another song that was disturbing. Cant relate.
    Now if the song said, hit me with your best shot and pray I don't get up. Then I can relate. lol

    Yea. I learned a lot of lessons. I'm finally not the fish like I used to be in most cases. I played next to a few pretty good players that have gone pretty far. Then played online and was making decent money until they shut it down.

    That's cool about your tourney! I hope you make it to the big show and we can watch you on ESPN. I watch every year

    Well it was PatB's way of dealing with spousal abuse.

    That is a white trash thing.

    White trash males learn to hit females from watching their dads do it to their moms.

    Revolting, yes.

    Spousal abuse comes in all colors. An unfortunate fact that some folks have a hard time keeping their hands off of people and controlling an out of control temper. Only thing that makes a temper out of control is weak mindedness. Weak people cant control a temper no matter how bad it is. Weaker ones cant keep their hands to themselves. Shame really because life is short.

    Either way. On to happier things. Congratulations on becoming a semi finalist!

    all i needed was a few more months to a year to make a career out of it, once you build the capital and the discipline its a good living.

    kudos to the people who got there before the shut down, most of them by now probably have dual citizenships in countries that still allow it online.

    Everyone should always wear a hat. Not just men, but even women, ladies, girls, and boys too.

    They keep the sun out of your eyes and off your face.

    They keep the rain and dust out of your eyes and off your face too.

    They keep bird sh!t and bugs out of your hair as well. And you can wear a bug net over it to keep the mosquitoes off your neck.

    At night they keep the glare of headlights and flashlights out of your eyes too -- so day and night not just during the days.

    And for poker they hide your eyes so that nobody can tell if you have a good or a bad hand.

    Yea I used to have a couple monitors so I could play several tables. Then I was activated in the Guard and wasn't able to play while on that mission. Been playing on and off since. I too built up a decent bankroll the entire time I was in college. Had problems with full tilt and my bank though. I LOVED the midnight madness tournaments

    Just FYI, I heard from my buddy late last night. He was in the hospital with a very serious bacterial infection... in his stomach! I'd never heard of this but I guess it really put him down hard. They don't know how he got it.

    there was one that kept changing tables after every hand, the best way to gain experience.

    online allows many hands, its really the only way for a fish to learn. the casinos have too many sharks and very few hands to build a bankroll and discipline properly in my opinion.

    it was probably easier for the guys in the past like doyle brunson to do it because back then the competition wasn't as big as it is now.

    You talking about the Turbo Poker that Poker Stars had? I tried it a few times. I didn't like bouncing around from table to table not knowing who I was playing against.
