If you're a book reader, then you've probably heard of Borders book store. It was the second largest book store, and is now going out of business.
Basically, I don't give a shit about Borders, but I made this thread for anyone who lives near a Borders store and wanted to pick up some inexpensive books that will be available through the companies liquidation process. I'm not sure if they have any poker books, but there might be some good stuff to pick up for yourself or upcoming birthdays/holidays as presents, like the Fire and Ice series (Game of Thrones).
"Borders could not overcome competition from larger rival Barnes & Noble (BKS) and Amazon.com (AMZN), which began to dominate book retail when the industry shifted largely online. Borders, which had filed for Chapter 11 in February, also never was able to come up with an electronic reader like Amazon's Kindle and Barnes & Noble's Nook."
Ok so I was at a home game where there was a question on the low hand
Player1 has A,2,3,5,8 as a low hand
Player2 has 2,3,4,5,7 as a low hand
Who wins this pot?
Poll: Who wins
(Vote): Player 1
(Vote): Player 2
(Vote):
now the only thing that differs from a normal PLO/8 hand is that they see the nut low as A,2,3,4,6 (cause they say the A,2,3,4,5 is a straight not low hand) So who wins this and explain...i know we have some great PLO players here so i would like some input
Are there any good casinos in New York City?
I'm gonna move to Manhattan in a couple months and I would like to know where are the best places to play up to 1kNL live...
Thanks
Just decided that I'm gonna play the BPT Main Event! I don't have this money on my bankroll so I'm gonna have to buy-in with my own money. The Main Event costs $1,450.00 and its expected around 600 players. My dad has an apartament very close (3 miles away) to the Hotel Transamerica (place were the tournment is gonna happen) and I already bought the ticket to Sao Paulo (I live in Brasilia D.C.), it costs around $80, so thats OK.
I'm excited about this, hope I run good!
13 days left, lets do this!
anyone feel like hookin up a fellow grinder with a user name and pw via PM...ill only use like maybe 10 searches a day if that. just like to have the features to edit certain days and all. used to have one but lost all the info after the whole black friday thing
I'm seriously thinking about quitting cash games and to become a MTT player...
I think I'm a little tilted, just ran 6bi under EV over 3K hands... tournments are much more soft. I have 30K in winnings in MTT's, while in cash games I have a little more than 3K
I have more passion for cash games, its the real game, but its so fucking hard sometimes.
I'm not a quitter, I have to think about this one.
might be a good idea to start a sports/games (betting) section for the site. it's baseball season now and in the coming months the english premiere league, la liga... etc... and by september it's nfl and then nba and nhl on october.
just a request to put something new for liquidpoker. pretty sure most people here bet on e-sports too.
I'm thinking about NL100 already... Until now all the shots I took were pretty agressive, but now I'm thinking about starting to build a "safer" bankroll. I want you guys opnions on this one.
Poll: When and how should I take shots at NL100?
(Vote): With a BR of 2K, 2bi stop loss shot
(Vote): With a BR of 2K, 5bi stop loss shot
(Vote): With a BR of 4K, 5bi stop loss shot
(Vote): With a BR of 4K, 10bi stop loss shot
Hey guys!
Poker is one of my main interest atm, so I would like to increase the network of poker players I have contact with. Doesnt matter the limit you play, or if you play cash games or mtt's, I think we can always add something to each other.
If you are interested in make a new poker related friend to discuss hands, sweat session, or anything, get in touch!

Facebook is the one I use the most and I'm almost always online there. I dont use MSN much.
Thankfully I managed to get my money off FTP before the Ivey scandal, but I just received $19.89 of remaining rakeback and the minimun cashout amount is $50. So I have to put $30.11 to complete $50 and then try to cashout... Should I try this? I feel like FTP will screw me... anyone want to trade? I want PS.
Inside a real Kumite by Michael Schiavello. (click the link at the bottom of the page to read the rest of the article and see the Kumite video)
IN A GYM ON THE FOURTH FLOOR OF ICHIGEKI PLAZA IN TOKYO, Artur Hovhannisyan stands by a full-length window and looks down upon the streets of Ebisu though his thoughts are miles away. His white gi is pristine and a black belt adorns his waist with three gold bars on the tip (one for each dan ranking). With his shaved head and clean appearance, the 33-year-old Armenian could pass as a banker or an accountant. Indeed it’s not until you see his calloused knuckles and stare into the black abyss of his eyes that you realize who you’re really standing face-to-face with.
“It’s time,” says a voice from across the room.
“Osu!” grunts Hovhannisyan. He slams his fist into his palm, lets out a loud breath and is led out of the gym by two officials with all the solemnity of wardens leading a death-row inmate to the chair. Hovhannisyan enters the tiny Honbu (headquarters) dojo and the wooden door slides shut behind him. The eerie thud of a Taiko drum renders the room silent. As he gazes around the dojo his eyes widen; only now does he truly comprehend the gravity of what lies ahead. On the floor sit one hundred black and brown belts, legs crossed, perfectly postured. They’re bare knuckled and hungry, like a pack of jackals ready to rip Hovhannisyan apart at the limbs.
At 13:00 Kancho Shokei Matsui, Kyokushin Karate’s global leader, addresses the dojo. His voice is soft and melodic, unbefitting of a man who twenty-three years ago steamrolled his way through the Hyaku-Nin Kumite (100-Man Kumite) with a record 76 knockouts. He directs attention to a small altar and invokes the blessing of Kyokushin’s late founder, Sosai Mas Oyama, or God. Perhaps both — though one wonders how any sort of spiritual serenity can exist in the masochistic madness that is about to unfold. Then again traditional Karate is as much a spiritual pursuit as it is a physical one. The small ceremony, precisely worded in Japanese and conducted with complete attentionto detail, seems to still the ego, empty the mind, and raise the vibrational energy of the room in an almost shamanistic way.
all NL50...
since I started playing poker again I didnt had I session like this, was planning to play only 1k hands but decided to stretch it cause I didnt want to end up losing that much.
I feel like I played bad, I can point out a lot of leaks at my game.
I'm trying hard to fix them and hopefully improve a lot my game
saturday night, time to go outside with my girl
poker feels really good again!
GL ALL!
