i think the idea of a just missed out song is that it missed by a mile and would finish near the top of the worst song ever list

Fair point. Year 3000 by Busted then. And yes, I'm slightly ashamed that I even know the name of a Busted song...

In order, but subject to change depending on my mood:

1) 57 - Biffy Clyro
2) Outlaw Torn - Metallica and San Francisco Symphony Orchestra
3) With or Without You - U2
4) Yes! I Am A Long Way From Home - Mogwai
5) Infinite Dreams - Iron Maiden
6) Beautiful Day - Three Colours Red
7) Safe - Therapy?
Are Friends Electric? - Gary Numan
9) Set You Free - N-Trance
10) The first 7 Songs off Surfer Rosa by Pixies

On the bubble.... Baba O Riley - The Who

Erik Palladino was in E.R. and some submarine film...U571 maybe?

If you're playing STTs or 2/3 table tournaments, then Karabiner is spot on. Sign up with every poker site, play a few games and see what suits you best.

Think about stuff like the standard of players, the blind structure, how many hands/minutes per level, the number of chips compared to the blinds, number of players(5, 6, 10, 15, 20). All that stuff is important.

If you're not that good at heads up, you might be better off going for a site where the later level blinds are stupidly large compared to the number of chips on the table. It turns heads up into a total all-in crap shoot. If you bluff a fair bit , play on a site with a higher quality of player - they're more likely to respect your bet and fold rather than call with a (winning) weak hand because they don't really know what they are doing. If you're a complete rock, go for a site where the levels go up every x minutes rather than x hands. You'll almost certainly get more hands, which means more chance of getting cards you're willing to play with.

The difference between winning/losing really can be down to what games/sites you are playing. One common theory is that good players should make money in the long run against bad players. That's probably true in cash, but not necessarily so in STTs/SnGs. The standard of players at low buy-in STTs on Pacific is appalling. And yet I can't win money in those games. Yet there's certain games on Betfair, Prima, and Paradise that I can consistently make a profit from.

And I'm out in a two hand shocker.

Raise with AK, one caller. Flop comes 348 and I bet hoping to bully them out of the pot. Get reraised all-in (by a serial bluffer) and have to fold it. Next hand KJ suited. 3 players in, flop comes KT4. big blind checks, next player bets, I reraise, the big blind folds and the original bettor thinks for a bit, then calls. Turn 4 pairs the board, remaining player checks and I move all in with my stack down to 1000 and more than that in the pot. Mateyboy calls with the monster of 45o and that's me gone in 145th.

GL to all those left in, I'm going to play some SnG's to make me feel better....

everyone but -bw- i think. Spotted a couple of other blondites out there - I'm on the same table as The_Nun who i think was in the blonde tourney this week, and Junior (thecharge) is in as well.

my table has turned into an episode of the x-files. there's a bunch of conspiracy theories about software programmers engineering bad beats for profit!!!!

Qualified my way in again. See if I can improve on 92nd and 169th...

I'm out. KK vs AA. Hit my King on the flop, drowned when the river brought an Ace. Good luck the rest of you.

Yeah, they are. It's listed in the lobby.

And I've satellited my way in. Screenname, unsurprisingly, Chris C.

Very nice Ben, very nice. Give him my congrats too Tikay.

And dare I ask what a skank is?

skank
example paris hilton

two bit hooker you find walking the street in a bra and belt offering sex for 5

I'm pretty sure she doesn't charge anything as long as there's some video royalties in it for her...

Yeah, and he took 30 off me doing it....

Since you asked Tikay, I'm tipping Ben to win. This is based on nothing more than the fact than he's got a history of winning stuff from unlikely situations. He once beat me at StreetFighter (legendary 90's computer game) playing the game from behind a curtain, through which he couldn't see the screen. If anyone can pull it off, it's him...
