Yo, I went to the beach, to flex my stuff, and all the ladies were cryin', cause my "hammered quads" were gone!

NOOOOOO!!!!!!!

LOL. Civ is why it took me 5 years to get an undergrad! You have my sympathies.

Like Split says, optimism is an important part of poker! I've been playing 50bb min tables exclusively since they opened, but I'm looking forward to widening my seating range. ;)

Can you make me one?

And it can be done by bots!

Yeah, the benefit is that they may, at any time, push their stack in, which generally halts any other action (as in a raise from a full stack being called by another fullstack who is hopefully the intended mark of the raise...just for example). Once their money is all-in, that is usually the final decision for the hand. I believe that "professional SS-ers" (*shudder*) can make about 1BB/100 doing this if they're good, where a full-stacker can reach 5BB/100 and possibly more. Having the SS-ers present decreases this winrate for the full-stackers because play becomes grossly simplified. What the SS-ers are capatilizing on is a money back program that Pokerstars (and most poker sites) offers that allows them to make money by playing 20 or so tables and accruing player points. You can imagine that this has the effect of creating a sea of parasites that are at nearly every table. Hence the angst. Hopefully that helps. =)

So, based on some cursory googling, it looks like shortstacking is entering the game with the minimum buy-in (i know very little about poker). So, would the strategic advantage of this be that SS-ers can bet more aggressively pre-flop without the fear of losing a larger buy-in?

Also, why not fight with fire when it comes to this practice?

Yes, but the marks don't like those tables and I like the marks, therefore the policy is flawed in my opinion.

PokerStars has "no policy to keep them in check"? 50BB min tables, imo.

Yeah, I can pretty much eat this at any time...now grilling is something I haven't investigated yet, but we have a deck for the first time ever so I see it as an inevitability. A tasty inevitability I hope. Tips?

Yowsa, that sounds great! I already ate dinner and it's making me hungry...partly because I've been craving a good noodle dish, and partly because I've been craving (oddly enough) fish sauce! And Siracha is good shit too!

I feel ya on the thigh question - if yer gonna "brown" it, as you say, if fat sizzling action is involved, thighs are the way to go. I just started grilling skin-on, with-the-bone breasts the other day, and I think it makes a ton of difference. Sometimes I want to slice it up first, and have a super lean gravy based meal, and then boneless breasts are the way to go. But if you're using some real heat, and letting nature take its course, the more "junk" the better...

Call me superstitious, but I'm never playing another tournament without taking a five hour energy drink. Heck, it says it's a gambling aid right in the ad!

I'm definitely plugging this site on my blog tomorrow. 2m2mm the... imitators? Poseurs? Hm... I'll think of something!

well, he got hold of the survivalist book first...so we'll see.

BINGO! Soon... he will be.... sooooooon! :)

2010-03-09T19:56:17.699-06:00

BINGO!

You would think he was reading The Game...but no.

2010-03-08T18:07:12.452-06:00

Nice.

You, sir, seem to have done a lot of proactive reflection throughout your life. I dig that.

I will leave you with this and I'm sure you'll figure out why I find it amusing...

"If you ever want someone to really like you, treat them like shit first, then shortly after, if you treat them with even a modest amount of respect, they'll love you!"

Awesome!

Well, one step at a time man.

We're already getting into the developing world's idea of time I think. =)

Yo, when I go to the beach, I take off my shirt and all the ladies DROOL over my "hammered quads" - thank you HydroxyCut.
