I set up a fake facebook account and got one of my (unsuspecting) mates to add me as a friend. I got him to invite me out for a drink that night (he was serious about it coz he asked me if we should invite the guy) and also convinced him he was the reason my girlfriend split up with me (the fictional me).
Gotta love Faceboon prankaments

Cheers for the info, my mate was fascinated by the bet coz he says he can't make 10c at 25nl let alone 10k. Maybe I'll give the bet a shot once I figure out how to get out of the barn

If JKD was transferable to the cage, Dan Inosanto would be the greatest MMA trainer in the world.
he was a former student of bruce right? think iv seen him on some vids. As a side note, I'm assuming you train for MMA. How did you start off in the sport ie martial arts background or just like fighting? I've always thought i'd like to try it as much for the training as the fighting but I'm not a trained fighter would it be a waste of time?

I think the call looks worse than it is, but that's probably coz I'm more of a holdem player and get done in PLO cash games.
PRE: Omaha Hi Simulation 1,086,008 trials (Exhaustive) Hand Pot equity Wins Ties Kd8dJh9h 42.11% 457,266 201 AsAhQd9d 57.89% 628,541 201
FLOP: Omaha Hi Simulation 820 trials (Exhaustive) board: 4s5s8h Hand Pot equity Wins Ties Kd8dJh9h 41.46% 340 0 AsAhQd9d 58.54% 480 0
So with her equity in the hand pre and post flop plus the p.odds I guess it's ok. The big question is do u want to risk going out of the tourney if u miss. I think a lot of "old school" pros would have folded wanting to preserve their "tournament life" whereas for an internet player this is a pretty standard call.
life to fight another day or pays ur money and take your shot.
Which is best I'm not sure but she did win so....
Yes but the odds against his range are different..you're only taken into account the odds against his hand.. what are the odds of her winning the hand if he has 2 spades in it? Yeah I realsie that now, all I really wanted to see was what the equities were for the actual hands so I could see if her answer stood up

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 Bruce's 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 agree he'd need to change his style but I think he'd be the first to recognise that and would develop his skills accordingly, if he was pioneering then then he'd be pioneering now. I think he was the perfect match of skill, physicality and brains and that's a dangerous combo.

lol @ kimbo what makes me laugh is that before he's last fight he was on the news and main piece on the msn homepage, like he's this really great fighter thats worked he's way up from the street to conquer the world of ufc! firstly out of about 15 of he's street fights ive seen he's fought hardly anyone, no one with any professional fighting experience, except gannon and that was the fight in which he pretty much got battered, secondly anyone who knows anything can pretty much see he is not up to world class ufc standard, the media are pushing the story to try and make it into this big fairytale rags to riches story, truth is he just hasn't got it. totally agree with u
