Because of a back problem, a doctor prescribed a slow-working painkiller for me (to help me sleep through the night). When I came home from the pharmacy I stared at it for awhile and felt insulted.

The name of the drug is "Orudis Retard." I yelled back at the bottle, "no, I'm NOT this retard! Who you callin' retard!"

Seriously, screw that bottle. So rude.

Wow FP...

So, how many did you take before you read the bottle and wrote that? How long to ship a couple over to Dallas Tejas, they look fun. ;)

biggest spider ever seen in my house last night. He was lifting furniture as he went around!!!:)

Wife was going crazy so i had to pick him up and put him outside.

He was there last night perched beside the door when a friend that is staying with us went out for a smoke. if i get a chance ill take a photo and upload (if he is still there that is).

Oh short stackers, when will they learn?


If i go with BRM, for short-stacking. When i got the right amount to buy-in with a full stack in 5NL, then i can Short-stack in 10NL.
I'm willing to try this out and see how it gos.

Against an unknown opponent at 5NL.
Open UTG+2 with AQs, shove for 35BB from MP.
Standard fold without reads?

Lol just got it in against a shortstack on the turn with a PP house. He turned over his hand and I said to myself "He's drawing dead, oh wait a jack". You can guess what happened next =)

And btw I've pretty much barely played any at all for 2 months, and the bug is starting to bite me again a little....

I've been playing a bit this week... including some hold em again for the first time in several months...

after playing 6 max omaha hi exclusively for awhile, full ring hold em feels like a slow, boring and insanely simple game in comparison....

I did fold, but I understand what you are saying. If I had AK i'm pretty much always calling.
I just wondered because AQs is fairly strong and always folding to a short/half stack shove is probably wrong. If I had any read at all it makes it alot easier. On the flip side 5NL shortstackers are generally very bad.

Beat: 2 days ago I had 3 mtt's going and 2 ring tables. I had AA at one table, did a healthy size pfr and another player reraised ai.
Other ring table I had rags in the bb and there was a raise and ai reraise behing.

My 9 yr old was home sick I told him he could play his brothers PS3 game Call Of Duty 4. My 11 year old comes home and starts screaming at his brother.

In an effort to make peace between the boys I screwed up my ring tables. I shoved ai pf on the table with the rags and folded my AA to the players ai reraise.

All in all it cost me $67 in the ring games, I was tilted, closed out all my tables and lost $102 total. After awhile I did get the boys calmed down. Went and made dinner and such, forgot about the mtt's so didn't log back on.

Brag: Last night after the kids went to bed I opened 4 ring tables and won back $66.75 in under 20 minutes. I closed everything out. Hoping to make the rest up tomorrow.

Might go play live tonight, haven't decided yet.

(GL Vanquish on your tests! Great pic WV! He really is a gorgeous baby!)

Almost TID... Long game.. Had three month old and the five year old so couldnt really concentrate fully on the game towards the end.. Hand for Hand lasted a while going into the FT and blinds punished me for more than a 1/3rd of my stack because we were three handed.. Went card dead.. Did best I could..

Just got back from one of the best surf's I've had in years. Shame my fitness level is gone so far down. :( Time to recitify that I guess.

Took another 2nd in the Friday night MTT last night, format is changed to a $50 freezout, and once again reached the final table short. 5 handed was probably one of the worst mistakes i've witnessed in my life at an MTT final table, 4 got AIPF when I was looking at bubbling, 3 of them had massive stacks, I end up HU after the hand. The chippie has AA, and both other stacks called off with AJ and AQ respectively :), silent fist-pump when i seen their hands. $550 tyvm.

Last ten hands:

AA482 board of course he has 44, and KK loses to an ace as usual, then AK blind vs blind board is AJ8xx, and he naturally flatted my steal with JJ and just now had QQ on the button against two opponnets and the flop is KA4 with two diamonds

Ouch, pretty harsh, I've been on the opposite end of that spectrum today for once. Made top set like 6 times, lots of top pair top kickers, seemed to be hitting all my draws, etc.

Only played a few hundred hands.

Up around 30-40 BB.

Here's a visual aid.

Hint: Those big drops aren't pf 3bets followed by triple barrel bluffs.
