Gemmill

Omaha looks interesting - basically Hold Em but you get 4 hole cards but can only use two of them. Too complicated for me though - far too many possible hand combinations to contemplate.

You planning on playing more cash games like? I've thought about it, but am gonna stick with SNGs for the time being. Re the laptop, it doesn't have to be, but it's just easier as I don't have a ton of space and already have one Mac desktop, and one laptop.

2 is my max multi-table at the minute, and I feel like I'm having a full on panic attack when it gets down to the late stages. I like the setup on Full Tilt, and it's more stable than Pokerroom, but there is a noticeable difference in the quality of player between the two. Or at least I think there is. I wouldn't mind buying a crappy laptop, but I really haven't a clue how bad they are when I see them in the shop - they have them for around £350, but I don't know if I'm buying something completely crap.

If it ain't for macs, I'm not getting in. Strictly Full Tilt and Pokerroom unless I buy a cheap Windows laptop. Pokerroom has easily the worst players of the two.

You still in that tournament, knobrot?

Any chance we can have one thread for Ben's Crap Music Recommendations? These are becoming almost as regular as smeeagains.

Is that the same Lee Jones that wrote that low-limit Hold Em book?

How dirty is your cock by the way Gemmil or can you not control it and get piss all over your hands ? It's not a question of knob-cleanliness, you piss-drinker! It's a matter of personal hygiene - going to the bog is considered by most to be an act that requires your hands to be cleaned afterwards, because pissing, shitting and toilets in general are not the cleanest acts/places. You don't see things that way and then you try to point the finger at me as the weird one. Urgh! You smell! What exactly warrants a hand washing after taking a slash in a urinal without splashing apple juice on your hands? If I gave you a sandwich, would you be happy to rub your cock all over it, then eat it? Next time you go into a meeting at work, instead of shaking hands, would you be happy to shake the cock of the person you're meeting with? Need I go on? McGroin could blow this argument out of the water by practising what he preaches tbh. Holden, I suggest over your lunch hour you go in the gents like one of those aftershave bogmonkeys (for the purposes of authenticity, possibly blacking yourself up), perch yourself on the washbasins, start eating your sandwiches and scream 'high five' to each bloke who goes to the exit without so much as a glance in the general direction of the taps. The only way this format will be completely authentic is if he also rubs his bellend on everything he eats/drinks. I like the idea of the toilets as a venue for his lunch though. Perhaps before his colleagues wash their hands, they could wipe them on his sarnie too?

US citizens will still have to pay taxes on poker winnings. The thinking behind it seems to be some sort of unholy combination of christian rightwing anti gambling fervour and protectionism for state run lottery/horseracing which is still legal. Re losing out on winnings, what I meant was they're losing out on tax from online winnings because presumably those that are going to try and play illegally now can't declare their illegal income as taxable. That idiot Bush will still be giving off about "freedoms" in his speeches. What a pillock. The legality of playing hasnt changed, just the legality of depositing. Winnings still have to be declared as before Ahhh right, apologies. In that case there are some fairly straightforward ways around this surely. If it's just a question of having an overseas based bank account. Like you say though, you will still lose the mongs that get home drunk and stick $100 on for an all-in fest.

Can you keep your gay fantasies to yourself please, you cleanliness freak! Aha! No answer to the question. As for gay fantasies, every time you go to the toilet and DON'T wash your hands, every man you then come into contact with for the rest of that day is basically fondling you. You sick puppy!

Are you playing for moolah? I can never be arsed with the MTTs, cos I've no idea how long they'll go on for. At least with SNGs, I know it's 1hr 15 minutes tops.

Should you not be working like, bog boy? How many people in your tournament today?

I just don't get what the government stands to gain from all this. They're losing out on tax revenue, and gaining nothing. Unless they have some dastardly long term plans re-introduce online gaming with government licensing, what is this all for?

I'm never ill, but it's because I wasn't one of those soft kids that had antibiotics every time they had sniffles as a kid, and used antibiotics as a substitute for actually having an immune system. I still wash my hands after I've been to the bog though you FILTHRAT! By the way, being ill and being off sick from work should completely independent of one another. HF, the fact you've only been absent from work through illness once in 6 years makes you GAY!

That laugh wasn't meant for you btw. As I said; best wank I ever had. I'm getting shit cards, I also blame you for that. I like how you had to be sure and tell me you weren't laughing at what I said. Ner ner to your shit cards!

The thing about Dotbum though, is he'll STILL watch people being BLATANTLY beheaded. Makes me SICK, he does!

Jesus. Is Party a UK company then? What is up with the US government man? What harm are people doing - they already charge tax on winnings ffs. I wonder how the other major poker sites are going to handle this. I guess the government will just shut them down if they don't handle it properly. Might be a good idea to keep a minimum cash balance on these sites I suppose btw, in case one or two go tits up.

Wind Up Merchants.

Aye, I heard mention of that on the radio this morning. What a joke. You can give your money away to evangelists with credit card hotlines, but you can't use it to make money playing a game There must be some ways that the yanks have of planning to get round this, surely? This will actually take away some people's livelihoods, I suppose. Nice.

Just had a look over there. 52 years old man. That's no age at all.

That's sad news. He was a funny fucker when he was on form, and the king of the WUMs.

There's a "seasonal" aisle set up in Tescos now where you can get all the Christmas biscuits and that. I can see me going through a tin a week til Christmas tbh.
