What I was wondering after reading this series, where you can see that the United States government and the government of Mexico (Aztlan) have sanctioned a small strip of land for nations ranging from: Ecstasy, Hash, Opium, and Cocaine to Ketamine is why online poker is not more popular because it is illegal. Is it this hard to run online illegal that we cannot run online illegal like offline illegal.
There is still a big market for drugs offline not online but we can't run the drug market online and it seems we can't run the poker market online. Why if poker is illegal is it not more popular
Good bye poker. Hello eSportsby Seobombisgay, August 28
It's been a while, but I'm happy to say I finally left the online gambling industry. My short 3-year career in the online gambling industry has been both life-changing and eye-opening as I was able to work on a product that essentially shaped me into who I am today. Initially, when there were high hopes for online poker, especially in NJ, I was very involved with poker. Unfortunately, the online gambling companies I worked for and the rest of the industry saw that it was MUCH easier to make money in casino, so majority of my focus eventually became casino. Unfortunately, this involves sucking people into a game that they can never win in the long-run. We liked stupid. The more lives we ruined, the better we were off. And I witnessed this in-person when I visited a VIP slot player to gift her a free XBox One with Minecraft for her 8 year old daughter. Little did I know that she lived in a run-down apartment and it was heartbreaking to hear that she couldn't take advantage of the $1000 deposit bonus because she had no money. Luckily, the company was sold and I was able to transition out and into esports.
I've now joined an esports start-up where we pair gamers with coaches for games like SC, Hearthstone, Lol, Dota, etc. It feels pretty good knowing that my work actually benefits society for once, so I hope to stay in esports. I'm also working with people that aren't trying to screw each other to benefit themselves, so that's another huge plus. Since LP is esports related, thought you'd guys appreciate this update.
Anyway, got that off my chest. I'll update again next time.
Also mods.... Can I change my name? I made this name in high school cuz I played HUSNG and I wanted people to think that I was an immature noob, which I was.
I'm considering purchasing these for my swimsuit collection. I primarily only wear swim suits and typically can't afford anything shorter. The strings on this suit are pretty unusual for Legendary so I'm not sure if I'll go through with these.
Since the tech threads usually get a lot of attention and good advice thought this would be a good place to ask:
Which monitors are worth considering for poker?
notes:
- not for gaming so I don't care about >60hz refresh rates
- higher resolutions are better but I'm not married to getting 4k if there are high quality good value options at lower resolutions, although 4k is preferred
- viewing angle is important so only the best panel types (IPS only I think?)
- no budget but not going to buy something obscene and still looking for good value:quality ratio
- will probably buy 2 of them
- sometimes I put monitors in check-in when travelling so the huge ones (40"+ are out), ideal size is unknown probably 27-30' range
since i cant upload hands properlyby PolarFox, August 21
im getting really fucking tired of losing every time i have two pair
how the FUCK do i play two pair? i have it as standard to fold flopped two pair, and it's served me right in so many fucking spots, albeit results oriented.
Turn : (23.5 BB, 2 players) Ah
UTG bets 15 BB, Hero raises to 99.5 BB and is all-in, UTG calls 84.5 BB
River : (222.5 BB, 2 players) 7c
UTG shows As Ac (Three of a Kind, Aces)
(Pre 92%, Flop 91%, Turn 100%)
Hero shows Ad Jh (Two Pair, Aces and Jacks)
(Pre 8%, Flop 9%, Turn 0%)
UTG wins 211.5 BB
Guy on the second hand bluffs too much and almost every chance he can get. I lost every top pair today, as per the usual. I should start folding those, I guess.
despite the good times together i knew it was over when you double unfriended me on facebook. the new sulu who will be replacing you is a dead mandarin worth more than 10.. he is a superior sulu reminiscent of georg takei. i expect superior results from a superior sulu. so, good bye, old buddy. you will be missed and commemorated.
i think it's highly unlikely that you would get pocket rockets each time you shoved against me, and i was pretty disappointed being knocked out of the tournament by aces.
i think a lot of people still look up to you based on your results and i don't think that's being a misguided player. you're a great guy, and you still look sharp.
truth be told i don't think anyone else could do risk management for Dalai Lama XIV but looks like he'll be retiring pretty soon and it sounds like it's for good. sorry you never got your opium
This time I'll give away .25 bitcoins to 1 lucky person to avoid paying out all over the place and ill be able to send bitcoins wherever the one person wants. Same deal as last time, head over, upvote the post, ask a question (I won't see the like), and post your username here. Will run the giveaway until the post pays out, which it is scheduled to do in 21 hours, then ill randomize a winner.
I'll explain more about the steem model in this thread as I've learned a lot more over the past week. Will be a few hours from now, decided to play some poker and can't multitask quite that well.
Does anyone play Brood war at all anymore on Iccup? (or at all?) I was thinking of playing some starcraft 2 but then realised brood war is such a better game, so I downloaded and installed brood war but the Nostalgia (map pun intended) got the better of me and I couldn't play knowing that all the friends and things that made it fun wouldn't be around, or at least I wouldn't see them.
Does anyone still play brood war at all as I would be interested in getting into it again, if people don't play brood war (or starcraft 2) what games, if any do you guys recommend. I've played plenty of hearthstone and things but its not really competitive like brood war or even starcraft 2 (or at least not in the way I am looking for)
This guys on Americas got Talent, my friend GSR_01_integ from LP (he doesnt post often) told me some of the best acts to watch, this guy is absurdly funny!
another great one here too used the week with gambling stuff cuz well its the LP
Hope you guys Enjoy
The last 30 days have been my first 200 hour month in about 3 years, studying a ton and back to MTTing with some cashgames, finally feeling great about poker again!
ACR is kinda awesome, I was avoiding it like the plague, then made a deposit there and had to step my game up, this sites got me addicted to poker again! Love it!!!!
Been awhile since an update, so little history, was stupid as hell and started training again too soon after injuring my MCL, and really fucked it up side lining my ass for an extra 3+ months. Feels strong now but been babying it just to make sure.
Heading down with the team to Fresno this weekend for the Grappling X jiujitsu tournament. Any TL-grapplers in the area should come check it out, either to compete or just watch. http://grapplingx.org/ is the site if you want the address and times or to sign up.
I'll be competing in the Adult Male 200+ Purple Belt class and the Absolute. Haven't been able to really test myself in probably 6months so itching to get rolling.
I jumped into cryptocurrency research head first last week, trying to learn everything I could about Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ethereum Classic. Soon after I started moving down the list of highest market valued currencies and I came across Steem, currently the 4th highest market cap (just over 200 million USD) of cryptocurrencies: https://coinmarketcap.com/
Basically, Steemit is a forum like reddit, but upvoting content comes with monetary reward in the way of their cryptocurrency Steem. Many of us have been providing valuable advice online for years with little to no compensation, so I jumped at the idea of this. Its benefits are obvious, and you can probably guess the downsides: many people post low content drivel, there is rampant plagiarism, and silly narcissitic posts by popular people have outrageous payouts. For instance, a playboy model wrote an introductory blog which received over $10,000. Yes, you read that right. It's hard to have blogs blow up like that and have huge payouts, but there are a few blogs a day that pay in the mid 4 figures. There are also rewards for commenting and upvoting posts early that blow up into big threads. The whole process needs a bit of tweaking, but I love the concept.
I did an AMA over there a few days ago and the blog brought in nearly $200. The poker following is small there, and the forum is new, but in an age where billion dollar websites such as HuffingtonPost refuse to pay its writers, I believe strongly in a website and cryptocurrency that has monetary incentives for users providing great content.
So, I wrote a blog detailing my PCA win. It's geared towards casual and non poker fans reading it, so there isn't technical range breakdown or anything of that matter, but I'm inviting you guys to come in and participate and you all can ask me anything you want there about poker, DFS, or anything else and I'll try to get to everyone, and I'll be giving away bitcoins to a few LP users.
I'll put everyone who comes over into a randomizer and I'll give away .1 bitcoins to 4 different people. That's roughly $60 each for $240 total. I don't expect to make money on this blog (will very likely lose money), but I do want to promote cryptocurrencies and the concept of forum users being paid for providing valuable content.
You can either accept your bitcoins to a wallet, I can send them to your Steem account, or if you don't want bitcoin, I'll send you $50 on paypal (want the bitcoin value to be more to promote cryptocurrency)
Have a trip this weekend so will run this for 48 hours then randomize. Let's say 7pm PST on thursday, or 0300 LP time that day
