7/9     I just read an NYT story about playing poker on the web. anyone know
        of a "reputable" casino for low-rollers? yahoo games aint cuttin it.
        \_ Yeah I run a game.  You start by transfering $500 into my paypal
           account and I'll get back to you.
        \_ Just go to one of the card rooms. There are many in the Bay Area.
           I think you are nuts to trust an on-line casino based in someplace
           like Trinidad-Tobago, but if you really want to throw your money
           away goferit. Perhaps you should open an account with E*Trade
           and daytrade penny stocks. -ausman
           \_ Can you imagine being a software engineer for such a casino:
              "Eh, can you create a 'difficulty' setting ... if I increase
               the difficulty, the players have a harder time earning money..."
               \_ what the fuck are you talking about
                  \_ Bot casino. Very thin ice and begging for a lawsuit.
                     \_ Try suing.  You'll get further spending your money
                        hiring a mercenary hit squad.  They aren't in this
                        country you wanker.
           \_ did you read the NYT article? i guess a lot of "pros" have
              switched to playing online... this year's Poker World
              Champion had never played in the poker-circuit and came in
              and won $2.5M. they made an analogy to a Japanese "rookie"
              who came from Japan after playing there for several years.
              -op
           the time charges will eat into our bankroll.
              \_ Actually a bad analogy. There is a luck element to the game.
                 You can't fight good cards. There are so many field players
                 at WSOP, it's much much harder for the pros to win it.
        \_ http://pokerstars.com, http://partypoker.com, http://ultimatebet.com, and
           http://paradisepoker.com are all fine. Very low limits if you want to
           play ($.25-$.50). The problem being that people are willing to
           lose $1 on a longshot, so you get a case of "no-fold-em" poker.
           Live action in the Bay Area, lowest limits are at the Oaks, but
           the time charges will eat into your bankroll.
           \_ No fold em is great. That is how you make money, by taking
              it from suckers. Maybe I will have to try this out.
              \_ It also means your variance increases and using "correct"
                 play may leave you frustrated.

7/15    Quasi Science Question:
        Anyone have a theory on why there seem to be a high concentration
        of super hot chicks in the middle of nowhere, america?
        \_ there isn't actually.  Your premise is flawed.  I've seen tons
           of fat, poorly-aging people in the midwest.  Take a trip to Orlando
           where all the tourists go if you want to see a sampling of "real

1/22    Celtic Women are HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT and they sing well. HOT.
        \_ I saw a version of Riverdance in Branson, Missouri that was
           full of very fit Irish women and in one dance they wore white
           and with the lights it left absolutely nothing to the imagination.
           The crowd was pretty stunned. I turned to my girlfriend and
           said "Uh, what was that?" and she confirmed. If you know

12/10   Saw a homeless guy today with a sign asking for money who had on
    a Wharton School of Business sweatshirt.
        \_ It's not Haas.
           \_ I did see a homeless guy in Las Vegas with a Cal hat on once.

We have decided to give three more players a chance to play in the World Series of Poker $10,000 event for FREE. With as few as 60 Frequent Player Points you can be on your way to the World Series of Poker. On May 16th, at 2:00PM Eastern Time, we'll be running a 6,000 FPP buy-in satellite. The final three players will receive full WSOP packages, including a seat in the $10K buy-in final event, $1,000 cash, and free hotel accommodations. We're running 60 FPP and 600 FPP satellites daily until the 16th, so don't miss out on your final chance to freeroll PokerStars for a WSOP seat! A 'shootout' is a special tournament in which you must win a series of single-table tournaments to win the event. In a Double Shootout, you must win two single table tournaments to win the event - in a Triple Shootout it takes three. You can play in a WSOP Double Shootout tournament at: 2:00PM (every day except Sunday), 7:00PM, 9:15PM, and 1:05AM Eastern Time. The tournaments will be setup for 81 players to participate and a WSOP prize package will be guaranteed if at least 74 players enter. First, each nine-person table in the tournament plays down to one winner. Then, the winners of each table are combined into a nine-person final table that competes to win the event. The Triple Shootout tournaments will take the place of the 1:05AM Double Shootouts on Wednesday, May 12th and Friday, May 14th. These two special events will have a maximum of 64 players and, if full, will guarantee one WSOP prize package to the winner. For these tournaments, 16 tables of four will begin with a buy-in of $180 + $10. Then four tables of four (the 16 first round winners) will play to determine the final four players who will compete at the final table for the WSOP seat. Basically, you'll need to beat just three other players at three different tables to win the event.
