* we played double-flop in vegas, and though it was called double-flop, we got 2 turns and 2 rivers. I do believe you were in that game.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, but we had to tell them how to play the game. We had some discussion on how it should go out.. ie 2 boards or just 2 flops, and the 2 boards version won which I was wanting to play... then I was later pointed to a sight which had the double flop rules for some casino (don't rem which) which stated only the flop. Also, I have a homegame that I go to that plays just single turn/river. Looking it up on the net just now only seems to return the 2 board version.. LOL go figure.

I go to Dallas and I'm driving to my hotel and I see a big sign... "HORSESHOE .. Where Dallas Gambles". I look it up, it's the one I played at in that MS town.. Tunica, Tupelo, something like that.

Bah, I got all excited.

Not that I had time nor money... but still...

Not a chance in hell. The only point where I'd consider fold is the second time on the river facing two.

The 15/30 Bellagio beating continues with another $1000 lost. While there's very little to celebrate, there was this one hand...

I open-raise KJs from early position and get 3-bet by a guy a couple seats to my left. It gets folded around to the big blind, who calls, and we see the flop 3-handed for 3 bets.

The flop is T95 with my flush draw. We check to the 3-bettor who leads. It's called and I equity-raise with my 9 flush outs, 3 gutshot outs, and at least 3 overcard outs. Villain looks at his hand, says "Okay, one time", and calls, as does the other guy. The turn is a 4, and I bet out again. 3-bettor mucks and the other guy calls once more. The river is an ace, and it's check-check. My K-high wins against hte other guy's 76o. The 3-bettor says something or another about folding the best hand. The guy to my right says, "Sick." I win one of my four pots for the evening.

Not all of my 100 BB slide at 15/30 is bad luck.

Bellagio 15/30

Villain opens in EP, there are two coldcallers, I 3-bet QQ, BB comes along, villain 4-bets, all callers continue to call, I cap and it's 5-handed to the flop for 5 bets ($75 * 5 = $375).

The flop is J92 I bet, BB folds, villain raises, one coldcall, and I call ($465). The turn is a K, and I check, villain bets, the other guy folds, and I call with my gutshot ($30 to call in a $495 pot). The river is another blank and I check-waste-$30. Or maybe that's an okay sanity call. It's -EV, whatever it is...

I just left the sweetest sick table I have played in a long time down 25 bb when it broke up.

45 minutes earlier I was up 25 bb.

I have seen some weird draws hitting but these were so sick.

3 guys left broke and the big winner who hit bloody everything went home up 50 bb.

Man I hope I find him again.

Or $10 + 24 hour ban + for 5 days after ban you must end every post (regardless of forum) with "{winning team} is awesome" or some variation of props for winning team. If you end one post in that period without props it's a 72 hour ban or 60 day av/loc change.

I'm down with this. But let's include a 30 day custom avatar for the loser (winner's choice ldo) if there is a sweep.

OK Pat/Thomas. FMP

Will we have images on the new system, and when is this supposed to happen?

I agree to those terms
$10 + 24 hour ban + 5 days of team props in posts - with added 30 day avatar change in the event of a sweep (30 days begins [like the 5 day posting regulation] after the 24 hour ban.)


My dad may see you at Sundays game. He's traveling across country taking train picture (retirement FTW), and my Aunt lives in Denver and was gonna try and get tickets LDO.

Re: Less Hugs, More Bans (NC Thread)
 

all,

normandy trip (stayed in caen) was a success! i'm back in brighton, and it feels very good to be able to speak english freely. i was getting quite sick of, "bonjour, parle vous anglais?"

it took all day to get there on saturday, and i wandered the streets of caen for a bit. saw william the conqueror's castle and ate some food. also bought the most expensive heineken in my life, but whatever, i deserved it.

sunday i went on a d-day tour offered by the memorial de caen. we went to the memorial de caen, which is a d-day museum and some sort of monument to world peace ([censored] that). we also went to see parts of the mulberry (floating harbor that the allies brought with them), part of the atlantic wall that was still in place, the american military cemetary, omaha beach, and pointe du hoc. very cool trip.

here are some pictures.

part of a church in caen.

at le pointe du hoc. those are bomb craters in the ground.

http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/2...andy088xs0.jpg

anyway, i think that it's so cool that i got to do this. it's all very nice buying expensive clothes and cars, but actually using my illegitimate money to see the world (lol) and discover things that i've only read about or seen in movies is just a phenomenal opportunity. i've thought a lot about this, and i'm so very glad that i've had the chances that i've had when i'm young. i'll make jokes and all, but i feel very fortunate to be where i am, doing what i'm doing.

anyway, the next pictures will be from greece. maybe even a few of the girlfriend for all you guys to jack off to.

besides, to quote the late, great, lester bangs, "anybody who doesn't jack off at least three times a day is a queer."

holla
