Re: Wedding Registry-- who, what, why

Based on my experience, forget about the china/silverware crap. I've been married 3 1/2 years now, and the china has never even been unpacked. I'll be stunned if we use more than 5 times in our...

Re: NL Postseason Awards

Quoting batting average instead of OBP is stupid.

For the record, I agree. So lets go to the tale of the tape.

Pujols OBP - .433
Jones OBP - .354

Pujols SLG - .635
Jones SLG - .588

Re: Guess how much 56 pounds of change is worth and win 2% (coinstar)

Using AD's hypothesis, (which I was working on before I saw his post, I swear) I came up with $725.83 in total change pre-CoinStar. Subtract the 8.9% for CS and a half a percent for miscellaneous...

Re: *Official* Stars 350k Guarenteed Sunday

He probably didn't need those chips anyway. New chip leader. Nice job.

Re: Newbie question

Thanks for your responses. A lot of you made a much more convincing case for calling than I could have come up with.

To expand my thinking a little. The 1/3 pot bet threw me a little. I...

Re: Paradise Short Handed Tables

Strips,

What is your user name on Paradise? We probably have played together. I have recently moved up to the 3/6 5-handed, but spent many months on the 1/2.

Re: Good lord, not another \"wait until the turn to raise?\" post...

On an unrelated note. If BB has interesting raising standards, would 3-betting preflop be horrible? You very likely have the best hand right now, you have position on the raiser, and a good chance...

Re: Starting a bankroll from $0

I am one that got the $2 free from Paradise earlier this year. After a lot of grinding at .02/.04, some SNG's, and the 1/2 5-max games, I am up to about $2K.

I was thinking of depositing some of...

BB almost all in

Paradise 10+1. Blinds are 250/500. There are 5 of us left. I am in commanding lead with about T5000 after I post the SB of 250. The big blind has roughly T250 after posting his BB.

It is...

Play this right?

Paradise $30+3. Four handed, blinds 100/200. I am UTG with T2500. BB is leader with T4500. Other stacks are T950 and T1950. If I just sit tight I will make the money.

But I have K...

Yeah I\'m lucky, what could I have done better?

I'm fairly new to NL, and perhaps I was over my head and got away with it. I would like anyone's opinion of how I played this. I'm not sure I could have gotten away from this after the turn, but...

Re: Dumbest rule in sports

I was watching a college football game one time and during a punt, the defense was called for "roughing the center". Anyone else ever heard of such a thing?

I was trying to get a free card in the first hand. I assumed that if I flat called the flop, a turn bet would probably be more than the 90 I raised it to. Like I said earlier, hindsight...
