Oh, cripes, who cares, it was one detail from someone not comfortable in this world, so probably not giving exactly the information you deem valid. Relax, dudes. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Agreed, bring 4 buy-ins, if a friend charges you interest then i feel bad for you.

I meant the world of this forum. Also new-ish to the world, as you still type as if you're texting. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

You went to a poker game with no money, presumably with the intent to borrow money to play? On top of that you didn't play very much, apparently quit when up after not much play, and just ate the food, talked to chicks and played on the computer? Man I don't know you at all but my first impression is that you are a giant douche.

I wonder why you wrote that 15 ppl are coming? It's a cash game so you aren't going to play against 14 others.

[/ QUOTE ]

Obviously not. Also obviously he won't be playing against 9 others, nor 2 others. Precisely it will be against 6 or 7 others. The number of seats does affect the type of cards you play, the variance, and the number of buy ins you might need.

Translation: you do things other than poker that I don't know how to do, like talk to girls, enjoy food and enjoy games other than poker. Therefore, I'll call you a douche to help me feel better about my insecurities.

2+2, where the douchebags always come out of the woodwork.

Ok, maybe I should simplify - you went to play in a poker game and brought no money ... you strike me as a big douche.

Notice that this is my first impression of you. Perhaps you are really a great guy. But if you showed up to my game and, and abused my hospitality in such a fashion, you would't get a second opportunity to show me that.

Also, FYI, your translation skills suck.

When you post like this (various replies in this thread, which you started btw), that's not an unreasonable assumption for us to make.

Take it partially as a shot across your bow, to improve your future posts. Details are important, don't assume people will read between the lines in your manner, don't expect to get off scot-free for making things difficult.

To indicate the amount of money potentially in play, perhaps?

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't get that? They're not playing 15 to one table. Sounds like 2 tables and it's a cash game and not a tourney so the players should not be moving around until late when people start leaving.

[/ QUOTE ]

Originally, I thought it was highlighting:

- potential length of the game night
- potential stacks as the game consolidated over time
- (something else I can't remember)

... but it involved me reading in a LOT to what he actually said.

Z- you're mixing up replies and subjects a bit, I think?
