OK just got back from a bar and my lungs actually hurt for the 1st time after almost 3 years of smoking. Its kind of a spontanous idea but i will quit smoking. It will probably be a bit hard although i dont think that I m addicted since I've went weeks without cigs but i still somehow manage to go back to smoking. Guess my non-addiction is an illusion.

Its time to get serious and quit organism-violent habits + 30-40 eu per month for cigs could go for something more useful like cocaine or something

GL me !

I did only participate in #8 #9 and #10 of the series
#8 got it to HU but lost

Question, wtf is the rake normally for 5-5, 10-25 or 25-50? Anyone know how it ranges from Cali, vegas, foxwoods, atlantic city, Vancouver, Fallsview?

Playground poker in Montreal is:
(5% capped at $14 in 5/10, $25 in 10/25, and $100 in 25/50 PLO which is considered a private game)

I randomly saw an ad on tv for Playground Poker, just outside Montreal. I guess it reopened a couple months ago. I found their site/FB page and went over their action. Seems to have 'decent' action on weekends relatively for Canada but am wondering how it compares and if anyone has been (loco, fayth?)

Julie and Mark are brother and sister. They
are traveling together in France on summer
vacation from college. One night they are
staying alone in a cabin near the beach.
They decide that it would be interesting and
fun if they tried making love. At very least
it would be a new experience for each of
them. Julie was already taking birth control
pills, but Mark uses a condom too, just to
be safe. They both enjoy making love, but
they decide not to do it again. They keep
that night as a special secret, which makes
them feel even closer to each other,
and there were no negative feelings invoked in the future.
What do you think about that, was it OK for them
to make love?

Sometimes when I'm playing poker, I'll move the mouse to the wrong spot, and all of my tables get instantly minimized. Then I have to manually open them all back up before I time out on some of them.
I still have no idea what causes this, or where my mouse moved that caused it, does anyone know?
Is there a way to turn this off, whatever it is? Is there a way to 'undo' it, so they all come back?
Thanks in advance.

As in I've managed to remove all of it...

Poker is swingy! Especially when I don't play that many hands per month. Was hoping to reach $1k by the end of this month/start of next month but instead got a bit demolished. I don't think that I am playing too badly for the most part, but maybe 1/3 of my big losing hands have been questionable... so it's not great really.

Set over set ruins all the fun :D

So basically I'd like to see what others think of some of these spots:

HAND 1
+ Show Spoiler +

Not really a great value board, can I bet the river? Not sure if villain will call it off with anything that I beat other than JJ.

HAND 2
+ Show Spoiler +

How much to bet on the river?

HAND 3
+ Show Spoiler +

Guy's so bad but I'm really not sure where I'm at.

gl everyone, hope things pick up from here!

cheers

Chase bank has become the bank for suckers and chumps, cause that's how they treat their customers, like marks to rip off. Being a Chase customer is a constant battle of asking them to remove hidden fees and unapproved charges. I'm done with these crooks, shoulda moved outta their bank after their involvement in causing the recession. Any suggestions on good banks that don't try and rob you for every possible penny they can sneak outta your pocket?

I normally don't even check how much rake I've paid and I don't think that HEM is completely accurate wrt rake, but I noticed that over that last 7,157 hands I've paid $103.93 in rake (nl10).

So is it correct to say for this sample I paid rake at a rate of 14.52 bb/100?

$103.93 x 10 (bb/$) = 1,039.3 bb

1,039.3 bb /
7157 hands
-------------
0.1452 bb/h * 100 = 14.52 bb / 100h


Just wondering...

pretty nice youtube channel to browse through while bored

basically theyve done anternative endings to big movies in a comedysortaway

poker is shit atm, lost all my january/february profits (~30k$) in march only, 80% lost in live 20/20$ cashgames with straddle/restraddle

got pretty crazy, and ran supercrap so not much to do

probably shouldnt have played those games in the first place, even though it was suuuuuperduper +ev,(for example i got it in pre for a 12k$ pot with KK vs Q9o preflop and it didnt hold, he 4bet/called it off and "felt that i was light", thats how splashy the games were)

not really rolled to play w 20/20/40/80$ blinds/straddles, kinda transforms to 80/80$ wich was way to high for my 5/10$ roll, and especially when i get this depressed about loseing 30k$ wich was what most people sat with at those tables it was way out of my roll and personal comfortlevel, but its the biggest DS of my life i think so guess i can cry alittle. but it will only make me stronger hopefully!

hurt my roll alot, and played shit for a while online, but its all better now, back and kinda crushing again after a short break for a couple of days

but will take some months to regrind at 1/2 and 2/4 to get up to 5/10 again t_t

its just so retarded cuz i just established myself on the stakes and started winning and getting a decent sample on 5/10, and then i go donk away 30k$ live wich was totally unnessasary, and now i need to restart at 1/2

but knowing myself, i woulda taken that shot infinit times over again if i got the same chanse again to play in those games, so, ye, most of the pots where lost AK in a big pot where i 3bet and kinda barreled of and had to bet fold riv in a superbigpot, and then i lost JJ vs Ax (he only showed one card after board game A high) for ~ 7k$ pot and then the KK hand for 12k$ pot

but gogo lets do it, im gonna make it a good year anyways!
still up alittle bit for the year, and alot of months to go!

been smoking heavily since 23 years ago, switched to e-cigs and its been 2 months no smoking and im not even looking for it anymore, i ran out of e-cigs yest but i dont even look for it as well. did not gain weight since quitting and been jogging recently and enjoying not being winded after 15 seconds lol. i strongly urge people who cant seem to quit thru willpower or patches/oral fixation stuff to try ecigarettes. its not perfect but its a start to get rid of the habits u get from smoking. the other day a friend offered it to me and i did not hesitate to try a cigarette again to test myself and it tasted and smelled like shit. ecigs man, theyre like power bracelets! lol

in before lol@sample size
