Official August Thread: General Discussion,etc

Mexico is rigged? The waves suck right now and I'm [censored] bored. Its also hard to take poker seriously when you've got a view of one of the best beach breaks in the world while you're playing. There are suppose to be waves from tommorow until monday and if another swell doesn't hit after that I'll probably leave because I miss having things to do.

does the female avatar get more action?

similar to how people assume avatar of a kid or person = fish on stars, do you think having a blonde chick on fulltilt makes me less intimidating than a shark?

this might sound retarded, but i asked someone why they chose me out of like the 7 open tables and he told me i had a nice rack.

i don't use avatars, but i guess bad players do

[bigbabyjesus]

One time on full tilt I changed my avatar from the fish to the black women, and I got 3-bet so much more it was just stupid. I also got alot of racist/sexist comments which made me laugh since I'm a white dude.

ATTN SKIER:

why do you continue to 3bet me light when you have a 43/20/5 fish on your left? keep him in the pot smart guy. also, mono e mono means one on one.

[/ QUOTE ]

actually, it means "monkey and monkey", although "e" is improperly used in that spot (y/e in spanish is sorta like a/an in english)

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, “Mono e mono” is an error caused by mishearing the Spanish expression mano a mano which means not “man-to-man,” like it's normally used, but “hand-to-hand,” as in hand-to-hand combat: one on one.

guys, it's "mano-a-mano"

I changed my avatar to Quiton Rampage Jackson (UFC champ). Basically he's a big black guy with a ghetto chain around his neck. Hard to say if it has been helpful... I've been winning lately but could just be due to natural fluctuations.

lol scott fischman is the best example of live players being overrated.

[/ QUOTE ]

He's a very very good donkament player. And I wouldn't call him a 'live' player as he's one of the oldest online players around????

That being said, I wouldn't be surprised at all if he sucks at cash games [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

done w/ 2/4 i think. i tried 8 tabling and playing ridiculously aggro today it was fun. gonna start playing 5/10+ more but its REALLY nice knowing im able to 8 table any limit since my mt ratio has always been 3ish.
