I think most players like to 'know' exactly what they're going to spend beforehand on a comp, in a rebuy you can never be sure of course...

buy in times 5 should do it generally

I just like to know how much my buy in will be and how much the starting stacks will be.

A £10 re-buy is essentially a £50 freeze-out at least from a cost point of view, but with the added disadvantage of not necessarily having the min of 5000 chips you'd be guaranteed if it were a straight freeze-out, if that makes sense.

Someone with deep pockets going all-in every hand can make the whole thing a little tedious if you never pick up the hands to play back at him/her. 

Yes but that kind of spot is pretty profitable, and don't forget the people who will not rebuy who are basically giving free money away and similar with people who will only rebuy once.

I think last sunday was a record field for the stars million so no indication of a decline there,the online game is getting harder imo.less american fish able 2 get money into their empty accounts is one reason,another is that there is so much good info out now(books,training sites), that standards have improved.im referring 2 nl holdem of course. Other games might not have the same lvl of expertise,razz or omaha hi-lo.

Thats not really a fair sunday million as it was actually a sunday two million due to the 2X promotion.

Kung fu Panda is actually a pretty decent, although newmanseye - if you dont understand the connection from kung fu panda to ranma, you havnt read or watched any ranma Smiley

You're right he never went to the olympics, my bad Smiley

his college pedigree is definately better than decent though.

He did win the NCAA divison 1 twice in back to back years which is a pretty tough thing to do.
He's training at the Minnesota MMA Academy which has a pretty decent amount of fighters although arguably not many elite guys. ( Sean Sherk is probably the most noteworthy ).

I think the traditional "lol WWE" thing definately hurts his reputation a bit but if he works on his submission defence he'll be a pretty big force simply due to strength and conditioning thats so much tougher to have in that division.

Thoughts on Kimbo? Big puncher that's about it I think, also I lol at people who think he could be a contender in the heavyweight division of boxing.

Bruce Lee in UFC? I think he'd be unstoppable. He would need to adapt his style but he was a pioneer of his own mix martial art so he could def have adapted.

Kimbo: in the greater scheme or things, a relatively tough dude who'll win most street fights he's in. He'll never trouble the top of the sport, but Bas Rutten is a legend and if anyone can turn him into at least a passable heavyweight MMA fight, Bas can. If he faced anyone in the top 25 in the world he'd get a battering. He's as much right to be seen as an MMA fighter as Brock Lesnar though, if not more so.

Bruce Lee: don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of Bruce Lee. He was a pioneer and had a massive impact on global martial arts. If Bruce had not have died when he did, I dare say MMA would of been along a LOT sooner than it was. I also imagine there'd be a lot less Tae Kwon Do and karate classes around and a lot more Jun Fan Gung Fu classes. However, even if you could zip Bruce 35 years from 1973 to now and drop him in the cage against the current fighters, he'd lose. Even in modern self protection terms, a lot of Bruces thinking would be outdated. If he were alive today I think he'd agree and he'd be training and teaching very differently to how he did before he died. Bruce wasn't a big fan of martial arts for combat sports sake, but if you had Bruce in his prime and could persuade him to specifically train for the cage, maybe he'd do ok. All that said, you take Bruce in his prime to 1993 and drop him in UFC 1 and Royce Gracie gets a beating.


I think you're a little off here.

Rewatch Mir vs Lesnar again, I think if they rematch Lesnar is the favourite. He's got a pretty good future in the sport and is pretty legit.

He's an olympic wrestler - wrestlers work ethic is utterly insane, the reason why wrestling and wrestlers did well in the UFC for a long period was their physical strength and conditioning - it made them tough for pure submission grapplers to submit them and it made it tough for strikers to avoid takedowns.

As takedown defence has improved, and as sub guys have realised they need to train wrestling and stand up the game has changed. Pure wrestlers are doing much worse vs top tier guys these days simply because their advantage vs both strikers and sub guys has decreased a ton and the strikers/sub guys cardio has increased a lot.

You can get positive odds on portugal vs switzerland at various sites, this is so utterly ridiculous I dont even know where to start.

Explain plz.

I was looking at Swtizerland for this.

Portugal have already WON the group (unless Turkey beat Czech like 4-0) so will obv rest loads of players and Swtizerland will be absolutely desperate to go out with a bang in front of their own fans/country.

Portugals reserves and subs are probs still good enough to win, but its not one to put money on imo.

I think its a good +EV bet.

I think portugal are at least 60% to win depending on team fielded, even a weaker team I think is at least 50%, any bet at even money or better should show a return in the long run, I dont know what else to say.

Betting favourites is usually a bad bet in football but seems like theres enough bad internet money out there to make it good here.

I dont think switzerland are better than 30% to win this game which is about the price you can get most places at the moment, you should be able to get better nearer the match as more money goes on portugal.
