half hour edit time i think. try posting on some strat forums if u wanna battle

Ahh - half-hour - yes, that would make sense, & would  prevent "second-guess" editing. I like that.

I did take a quick look at the Strategy Boards, but thought I'd give Posting there a miss........ I'm too scared (wrong word, but you know what I mean) to Post oin blonde's PHA, never mind 2 + 2!

I mean, really, the art of debating constructively & non-confrontationally seems to have almost sunk without trace. In short, I don't "wanna battle", I want to learn. And some spotty & illiterate teenager yelling at me "JUST DOO IT, WE ORL DO" does not tick too many educational boxes for me.

Surely not

Surely yes.

I love debating, but I don't do arguing. What person of sane mind would argue aggressively & shoutily about how to play a hand of poker? It's a game.. If they wanna argue, let's argue about something worthwhile. You seen the price of eggs lately?

I love debating to so let's ,how many of the pha threads do you think turn into aggressive arguements compared to how many that are debated well,it's heavily wieghted to the latter imo.The current thread of the newbie(can't remember his name) who got 32bbs in pre oop with KQ is a good example,nobody was aggressive or nasty but pretty blunt/clear and i'm pretty sure he know sees why it was bad to play it as he did and thus would've learned something from the thread thus the thread was a success.Yes the odd one or two can get a bit bosterous but on the whole they are a big success imo.Your pha threads esp always seem to go down well and i like the way you do them,would love you to post more up.but maybe don't take four days to post up the next street some of these fish are impatient

The irony is, the ones that get you up don't lay the eggs.

[RED-DOG]

....  but they do lay the hens.

Sorry Im late Tikay, best wishes!

Grats on your fine performance in the primo tonight, heard you say you'd 4 or 5 bet jammed into someone with a lowly ace with an ace. You LAG!

This is true.

I just thought, "let's go for it, we are 4 handed, only 1 player behind me, ave stack is 7 x BB, I have 5 x BB, let's gamble", & I shoved, just like that, no hesitation, nothing, just snap-jammed.

Normally AK is the bottom of my range here, but I thought, well, A-Q is only a spot behind. I placed a finger in the air too, & shouted "ship" quite loudly. Amazing stuff.

I will one day not bust out early and take down one of these blooming sky tournies, they are so soft but also so quick you dont have that much of an edge for long.

The Headline TV Tourneys are, err, "fast", but there's clearly a knack to playing them, as numerous players have won them 5 or 6 times, & serial cashed.

I had occasion to don my PR hat yesterday & do some SP schmoozing on the great 2 + 2, which I found a little un-nerving to be honest, but, ready, almost eager, for a prolonged battle, I seemed to get them onside disappointly quickly.

Poker players are seemingly the same the world over - note the irony in this statement by one Poster there, on the Thread.

"....The play is UNBELIEVABLY bad on there .....
 
There are definately better sites to be found instead of Sky......"

Yes yes, there are much, much tougher sites around.

Another complained - complained - that everyone just limp-folds.
 
There's nowt as queer as poker folk.

theres really not much strategy other than shove for value and hold.

people just call too much.


Please dont be 'advertising' on 2+2 why would you advertise there of all places go to a russian billionaires degen gambling board not 2+2!!!

Foor Simon Trumper, who is doubtless very busy right now with EPO preparations.

The DTD-run EPO will run as smoothly as this Tourbillioin.

Simon actually owns a Tourbilliion, (amongst many other fine timepieces), but I think it's worth as little less than this one.

Swiss manfucturer Patek Phillipe has the world’s most complicated wristwatch ever to his credit. And this exclusive luxury watch called the double-faced Sky Moon Tourbillon is to go on sale on October 7 at Patrizzi and Co.’s Madison Avenue showroom. The estimated price tag, we are told, lies between $1.1 million and $1.3 million.

You must be wondering what exactly does makes this timepiece complicated. Well for starters, it is a rare combinaion of 18-carat yellow gold that has a black dial display for a perpetual calendar and minute repeater. Again, there is a cool tourbillion escapement too. And if that wasn’t complicated enought, then turn to the reverse side of the dial that shows a sky chart and sidereal time.

Since we know how traditional this auction if going to be, it will also sell two limited-edition sets by Patek Phillipe. So far a total of 150 watches are lined up to be auctioned off. These include a set of four platinum watches with Barques dials, a set of four white gold Birds of Paradise wristwatched. The watches will be opened for public viewing only on Saturday, October 3 till October 6.

Here's the million $ watch.

It tells the time.

Pfft, I reject the insinuation that I was "advertising", you'll get me Banned.

I was simply exercising my right to retort.

[boldie]

Wow, that's a frighteningly cool picture to use to illustrate retort. Who told you to use that?

+1, tikay is ridic smart though. You dont do what hes done on the back of nothing.



p.s is that word for word what u wanted me to sad grandad?

[Longy]

Wow I can't believe given the amount of different things you have done in poker, that you have not been on 2p2. I agree the place is truly massive, I think it is in the top 10 viewed forums on the internet and the top 100 in terms of posts, so much bigger than any other poker forum out there.

I am not sure you are going to like the "tone" on there, it makes PHA look tame. Some of the strategy forums are really good and a lot of the ground breaking theories in poker have come about because of 2p2.
