What the hell kind of attitude is that? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Hmm, doesn't ring a bell. I'll PM you next time I come out so we can meet up.

A crappy attitude, an expensive strategy.....

we'd better demote him to the Carribean Stud tables...

this is false greg, the more odds you can take, the higher your EV is, because the odds bets carry no house edge.


edit: just read your post about difference between edge and ev, still don't know what to believe [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Hi leon

I really enjoyed our time together. Your girlpal is very nice and your poker is darn good for a boy [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]. I did have KK when you flopped Bway on that hand [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

I also really enjoyed our lunch at the "old school" Peppermill. The best thing about that place is that you can literally camp out and nobody asks you to leave. I think there are probably people who sleep in those booths overnight and who have been living there since it was built [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Your excellent conversation is surpassed only by your kindness.

The leather coat, black clothes, black hair and "symbolic" tatoo are all LG features. In short, you are "mad cool".

Are you coming in for WSOP?

LGPG,

Babe

Read my response to Greg. Because they carry no house edge, they do not affect your EV (the amount you expect to win/lose per roll on average). It's like having a side bet on a fair coin flip every hand of poker.

But if you're betting the same total amount per roll, the greater the proportion of the total bet is an even money odds bet, the better your EV (since the pass/don't-pass bet is -EV).

Hey now, Pai Gow is where I belong...

Carribean, how insulting. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Wow. Thanks.

Doubtful on the WSOP as I have no vacation time then. But you never know. I'll stay in touch of course.

or is the Babe setting you up for the next game? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I'm glad I'm not so easy to read at the poker table.

From your perspective, you are 100% correct.

I used to deal craps, but I have never been much of a player. About once a year I'll take $100 to the craps table, bet $5 on the darkside, and take odds. The total house edge against me in my entire lifetime of craps play can't even total $50.
