500th post. :)
 

Hi all,

I've been around in this forum for close to 2 years now and finally reach 500 post. Many posters have more then me in a shorter time period but I'll blame that on the language barrier [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

I just wanted to thank you all for the help I got here. Help being hints about how to play a hand or where to get the best bonus. Also, thx for the flaming when a bad beat got to my head, it made me think about the hand and helped a lot by improving my discipline. Also thx for all the great laughter, either from joke post, sarcastic replys or flaming of trolls (thoses are my favourite [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img])

You really are a great bunch of people and players and I look forward to keep learning the game whit you. I have come a long way from being just a home game, dealer’s choice poker player, to the winning online player I am now. the 1st half of my tuition come from reading books, the other big part was 2+2.

From my beginning, playing 0.25$/0.50$ whit a 50$ bankroll on paradise, I have now cleared my entire scholarship loan plus some. That is a great feeling and accomplishement for me, and all that is thanks to you all.

A big Thank you to you all.

May the flop be whit you.

You know full well that we don't all speak English as well as you do.

You would be much better off blaming it on the fact that your posts always have a point and you don't waste posts on petty things like flaming spammers like certain people [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] do around here.

Hope the next 500 takes less time though, it's always a pleasure to read your posts. (Although I still remember you let me down in a predictions contest, for what i think was wcoop 2003).

GL Happy.

I think that was for KotZ 1, the very 1st. You had cheered me all the way at a final table when I had won my very 1st multi table tourney, couple weeks before it... And I had'nt showed up for KotZ... [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

(I just thought Lori's point about the quality of our non-native English speakers' language was spot on and was trying to demonstrate how bad it would be if the tables were reversed. Every time I read one I get the same embarrassed feeling as whenever I go to Europe and immediately become reliant upon others' ability to speak English).

I couldn't agree more, it is almost as if we expect everyone to speak English.

Congrats on the landmark happy, here's to the next 500. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

This has to be post of the year!!, I am F***ing crying!

I just sent a PM do express similar thoughts, there are many great candidates for post of the year already, but this is up there with them.
