Check Smokkee for more details.

I went through a few hands that were key to the final table for me. I'll try not to bore you too much, but wwonka had such a massive chiplead on the table, I'm proud of the comeback.

Here's my lowpoint on the final table:



My buddies come to save the day here. I make the dreaded early position min raise and get a call from NewinNov. He commits to TP and I hold on.



wwonka was making medium sized raises and getting alot of folds On this hand I put him on a weak ace and went with my gut. I really didn't expect a call.



Here's another hand where I felt he was making a stealy move. I made a re-raise of his smallish looking bet and checked it down.... OH and nothing beats the JACKACE.



I finally take a lead with this one. I bet the turn when I thought I was ahead.



And I take out columbo with this: Astin is right...Aces are easy.



And here's a truly nasty hand when I take out CEM. I call the BB and he raises just enough for me not to fold.



And here's a masterful play of the hammer for me. I raise and smoof-call wwonka's re-raise. Obv I jam the flop and he sucks out.




This got us to fairly even, but I kept the pressure on and got cards when I needed them. Good times!

The Tax System - Explained With Beer

Pretty easy way to explain things. I am Kajagugu and I approve this message:

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that's what they decided to do.

The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. 'Since you are all such good customers,' he said, 'I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20.'Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?'

They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.

And so:

The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 ( 25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 ( 22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).

Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.

'I only got a dollar out of the $20,'declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man,' but he got $10!'

'Yeah, that's right,' exclaimed the fifth man. 'I only saved a dollar, too. It's unfair that he got ten times more than I!'

'That's true!!' shouted the seventh man. 'Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!'

'Wait a minute,' yelled the first four men in unison. 'We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!'

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!

And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

Double or nothing

I know all the Matrix tourneys are all the rage right now on Full Tilt. I refuse to deposit there anymore just out of sheer hard-headedness, so I've been plying my trade on Stars for the past couple of weeks. I happened upon their 'double or nothing' SNG's and I'm loving them (enable doom switch now).

The table starts with ten and if you manage to outlast 5 of your opponents, you double up! (minus the vigorish)

I'm currently on fire with these all the way up to the $100 level, I have cashed in every single attempt. As you would imagine the play is generally frog's ass tight in the early stages. I usually will take a stab with an open range early on to accumulate a few chips for the mid-levels when the table decides to wake up. Take note, these are turbos and the ante' starts up around the 50/100 level. These are great for me, since I can usually slate only about an hour or so to play.

I would be interested in hitting up the re-buy donkfest set up by Numb, so let me know if you'd like some cash on Stars and we can swap.




BTW....I am continuing to cross post at www.iam23skidoo.com. I will move there exclusively in December.

Cheers all, sorry I'm not posting often I just don't have much to say.

Damn Waffles, Riggs, Kat etc...

How Fitting.


You are The Wheel of Fortune


Good fortune and happiness but sometimes a species of
intoxication with success


The Wheel of Fortune is all about big things, luck, change, fortune. Almost always good fortune. You are lucky in all things that you do and happy with the things that come to you. Be careful that success does not go to your head however. Sometimes luck can change.

Can we just go start a new America somewhere else?


Use some Common Sense. We need to find a viable way out of this hole, Washington will not help us.

I endorse this message

This may be the one and only political post you'll get from me. But when things begin to threaten my ability or potential ability to provide for my family then the gloves come off.

I strongly encourage you to wake up and pay attention, this country is falling into a socialist wreck and is a shell of its former self. I don't know much about economics, but I know that throwing bad money after worse money is generally a bad idea. I try to listen to people who are smarter than me in these instances. I'm a recent devotee of Dave Ramsey and although I disagree with his sometime totalitarian views I can not disagree that the man knows finance. So when he posted his Common Sense ideas for financial solvency in this country, I was compelled to follow his advice. I strongly encourage you to take a look and let your representative know that he will be out of a job if this bill passes. It's the only thing they care about.
