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?

Have you met my friend, ATF? He lives at the top of the forums list on the left, in the "Two Plus Two" section. He's wearing a nice hat right now, designed by Ryan Beal, that discusses the upgrade.

tl;dr version: Nov 10. rtfma

Eh, not so much now, looks like they'll survive. I am, however, going to finish this bonus and then GTFO. Another reason I'm sour on UB is because all the decent tables are BBJ now. But at least when it hits, everyone at those stakes gets paid in addition to everyone at that table.

So with the BBJ at a record $415K+, I decided to spread my exposure by running one table of 2/4, one table of 1/2, and then shortstack 50NL and 100NL.

I don't see what the big deal is about NL . . .

Piece of cake, right? Whoops . . .

Results in white below: 
marchron has 9s 9h (full house, nines full of sixes)
MP1 has 6d 6s (four of a kind, sixes)
Outcome: MP1 wins $49.85. 

And then after that it was all downhill. I got stacked FIVE TIMES at 100NL (granted, those were all for $20 since I was minstacking, so it's only like getting stacked once), and three of them were awful. First, I got AQ all in vs. J9 on a QJx flop and Villain hit a Jack on the river; then AA vs. KK was no good all-in preflop when another Villain flopped a set; then AQ again fell to the first Villain when his my top pair of Q's lost to his QT when he made a running club flush.

BBJ's now at $432K and counting, so anyone with some mobnies left on UB, get in on that.

For what it's worth my aunt is from Co and they are my fave NL team but we are still gonna show you waht a hot streak is all about [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Care to go $20 on the series?

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't have much bank online cause I haven't played in forever/life. I'll go $10 on the series, if there are no bans involved.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think if you only go $10.... a ban must somehow be included! [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ]

damn your rable rousing

I'll go $10 + 24 hour ban + 30 day avatar/location change.

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.

If Benny is man enough for one of those deals.

Or I will go $5 + 12 hour ban** with anyone else.

All these offers are negotiable, and the reason I only want to go $10 is so Benny doesn't get all my action. So PM or post here if you're man enough to bet against The Best Team In Baseball*. I will be taking up to $25 in action with added non-$ wagers. All offers must be agreed to here by gametime Wed to be binding

* Best Team In Baseball is a non-negotiable title even if Colorado wins [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

** for mods all bans I incur are stackable and I would like to serve them sequentially as one ban. In the unlikely event we should lose.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nomadtla,

I'm up for taking this bet if you offer me the current WS odds of 2:1. We have a deal? PM/IM me to workout the details.

Re: Less Hugs, More Bans (NC Thread)

I played my first "session" of limit poker in >6 months last night.

151 hands of 6max.

I think NL has made me weak/tight. I probably should have had a pretty good session, since it involved these two hands:
