I would've bet the river and folded to the check-raise.

I think you have no choice but to call on the river.

Hell, I would've bet the turn and folded to a check-raise.

I thought about this right after I checked it through, and I think it's probably the best way to go.

I was a day late and a dollar short most of the day today.

Thanks guys.

I meant bet the turn...

on a side note, I find it pathetic that I come home from a bar half drunk and find the need to post on 2+2 at 3am, but thanks to sobriety I'm sober now and I'll start distinguishing between the turn and river now

Hey, if the yankees and mets lose 200 games combined this year, does the rest of the country get a prize?

sthief09 · #7 04-27-2004, 04:02 AM

why does everyone hate on the mets? they suck, they cut their payroll, and their manager insists on starting jeff duncan, joe mcewing, and erik valent in the same outfield

but the yankees are going to go -38-200 (yes, they will win negative 38), so the mets don't matter much

why does everyone hate on the mets?

I lived in Massachussetts for 5 years.

And I was just kidding. If the Yankees and Mets lose 200, that's a big enough gift.

sthief09 · #9 04-27-2004, 04:07 AM

this is something I could never understand

mets fans hate yankees fans
red sox fans hate yankees fans
mets fans like red sox fans cause they hate the yankees
red sox fans are still bitter about something that happened 18 years ago, and just aren't willing to share the bond of mutual hatred for the yankees

EDIT: and A's fans who make good hand converters and play some good poker hate the mets

ok I'm done hijacking this thread... sorry

bisonbison · #10 04-27-2004, 04:16 AM

Well, cash got his question answered, so a little hijacking won't hurt anyone. And don't worry, I don't actually hate the mets. My interest in NL baseball is roughly 0%.

I do, however, despise the yankees and I and every sox fan I know rooted for the mets in the NY vs NY series (given that the earth wouldn't open up and swallow both teams). How'd that series turn out by the way?
