Citanul;

BBD,

Yes, both do.

Their user IDs are their names.

i think that "die of aids, cockbreath" would result in you having your chat suspended by party (at least, if you typed it at my table)...

the statement is very anti-gay, and definitely offensive...

it would be much more acceptable to wish upon someone cancer, birth-defect infested children, lice, genital warts, open-sores, gingivitis, or any number of other maladies.

The WSOP airs on ESPN, though I'm sure reruns will be on ESPN2 as well. I believe it runs on Tuesday nights, and that coverage of non-main event events has already begun.

Oh here's a good one for you.


What is your strategy for dealing with coworkers with very bad personalities?

Like, they aren't necessarily assholes... they just fail miserably at human social interaction. And, inevitably, by the end of spending 5 minutes with them, you want to throttle them.

Suggestions? Prozac?

m,

when they aren't around, you should pee on their office chairs if they are made of absorbant materials.

I do pretty well at 10/20 shorthanded limit HE, but seem to suck mightily at wimpy little $20/2 or $30/3 Party NLHE SNGs. How is it that I can do so well at the former, but suck so badly at the latter? Am I the anti-Phil Hellmuth?

Also, I am now reading HOH1 and HOH2. HOH1 was kinda boring and I drifted off about a quarter of the way through it, but I like HOH2 a lot. If I apply everything I learn from just reading HOH2, at how high a party SNG can I plan to be a consistent winner? What if I actually drag my ass back to HOH1 and read that as well? And why is HOH1 so damned boring?

Finally, 4 players left in an SNG, all have about the same size stacks (~2000), blinds are 150/300. So my effective 'M', from HOH2, is barely '2'. But . . . it's the bubble! Do I get push-happy from the button or SB with crap like JTo or K2s, like I would if I were an actual short stack? Or do I just wait for an ace/pocket pair/another chump to bust out?

EDIT: I think I might push with K2s in the SB in this situation. But in the CO/button I'd wimp out. Is it right to wimp out here?
