Poker etiquette/ruling....
I agree with Gags , very bad etiquette. But it also puts the other person at a disadvantage by not being able to look at the player who made the all in move. Maybe he left the table because he is shaking like a leaf and sweating bullets . Standing up while your opponent tanks is one thing but leaving the table where they cannot see you and try to get a read on your state of mind should not be allowed.

easiest sure fire way out of jury duty
Ive been called for jury duty twice and was eliminated both times. The first time I was waiting in the lobby outside court with everyone else. I only recognized one other person so I sat down next to him and chatted while we waited for court to open. When it finally opened I went to the jury pool area and he went to the defendants seat. They told me I could leave without even asking me a question The second time I got to the questioning part and they asked "do you think the defendant is guilty just because he's on trial '" . I answered an honest " I think he must have done something." That ...

Home game tourney format
We play a rebuy game locally every week with 12-18 players . 3k starting stacks can rebuy with 1k or less and an add on of 4k at the end of the first hour. First hour is 15min blinds after that goes to 20min . Blinds are close to Cbombs but with a 150/300 and a 400/800 added and no 750/1500. Usually last 4.5 to 5 hrs. If a player really runs or plays bad they might have 4 rebuys . Most will have 1 plus the add on. And of course some will have no rebuys but everyone takes the add on because of the extra value. The first hour forces play (and rebuys) with blinds moving up quickly. After that ...

Ive always seen the cards shown to everyone as soon as they were exposed. But your expanation makes perfect sense and I wonder why it hasnt been done that way.

Car help mechanic plzzz
If you are filling it up that often and there is'nt a lake under it , it is probably a leak in the pressure line. Only leaking when the steering wheel is turned. Have someone turn the wheel back and forth while you look under the hood. Probably be spraying out from that line. It should be pretty obvious where the leak is.

Have i played this right, am i an idiot, or am i a bitch
You have a wife and kid . Your friends are still telling you stories about their last time at the bar. Sounds like you've outgrown your friends. It may take some time to do it but it's time to move on .

Poll: Have you ever had sex with a prostitute?
Never have , but I see nothing wrong with it. I probably would use a hooker if the situation was right. If it were legal like it should be , Im sure I would have.

Need thoughts on odd rebuy game.
Local rebuy game has a very different rebuy system. Initial buy in is $35 for 3500 in chips. You can get up to 4 rebuys of $10 each for 1000 chips also an add on of $25 for 2500 in chips. For 10k total. If that wasn't strange enough , you can take all or any part of it at any time. Is there any clear best strategy for this ' There are players taking every combination you could think of. Although very few take the full amount to start. I was thinking maybe somewhere in the middle and starting with the original 3500 plus 2 1k rebuys. But it sounds appealing to start with the full 10k and have ...

kayak discussion itt
The sit on type is great for fishing but I think for what you want to do the sit in variety is better. Make sure you get one with several dry storage areas. Dont go real short as they are hard to control. It will want to turn with each stroke. For your size Im guessing something in the 11ft range. Just a guess tho. Definately go to a Dicks , Gander Mt , Cabelas or something similar and sit in them to see what fits you comfortably. Lastly dont try to cheap out on it . You will get what you pay for with kayaks.

Less then 2bb shove
No actual "rule". But if he folded it would certainly raise some questions about collusion between the two.

Refinance Questions
Last week my brother told me the company he works for dropped their rates to 3.99. He said its a great time to refi if you can. But the new regs are making it difficult for most people to do. You have to have much more equity in your now and a strong credit score. Probably have to pay up front to get an appraisal. Try to get the lender to pay for the appraisal its non refundable. Instead of trying to pay off earlier with a shorter loan ( and a high payment). Most people now are opting for a longer loan and low as possible payment. People are starting to realize that they may lose a job , get ...

Who Disc Golfs?
I hope to get in some disc golf as soon as my shoulder (surgery) heals a bit more. Only played a couple time and thought it was great . Good exercise , much more so than regular golf. In disc golf you really dont stop walking the whole time. No sitting in a cart or waiting for your retard buddies to figure out which club will be best to shank their ball into the woods . Cheaper (free) to play and there are a lot of courses close by.

Live tourny question
I will try to get the numbers as close as I can but since I was not invovled they might be off a bit . Live buy in started with 33 and we are down to 8 . We are about 5hrs into this tournament. Top 4 get paid . Blinds are 1500-3000 300 ante . Under the gun raises to around 25k or so . He has 64k. Next player folds. Next player pushes all in for 67k. She has been playin really tight and has only show down quality hands. Folded back to UTG and he calls off the rest of his stack. He shows AsJs and she shows KK. Of course he sucks out to a four card straight and wins. Afertward there was quite a ...

I feel fine....I havent been to the doctor in a year.....but...
I was at 150-105 and tried 4 different med before we found one that had no side effects. Everyone is different you may have no side effects at all. And now my bp is averaging 120-75 . I saw my aunt suffer from a debillitating stroke . She was in a wheel chair unable to talk or feed herself for the last 16 years of her life. Have fun with that "wont affect anyone else " bullshit when they're feeding you gerbers baby food and changing your diapers.

Major dilemma ITT!
If she was truly trying to patch things with baby daddy #1 she would have never told you . Or had sex with you for that matter. She told you because she believes it's yours . And I probably coulda left out the "she believes " part.

8 blinds and heads up , I'm pretty happy to see Q9s. I've shoved a lot worse than that in similar situations.

Beating the donks that just call all night long>>>
I played a series exactly like this a few years ago . 5 bars put up 2k each , played for 10 weeks . 10 players from each bar made the final game. Lotta fun but very very frustrating play. Im not sure that there is a good strategy. Because no matter what you raise there are multiple calls. Absolutly forget about bluffing. Play the quality hands , raise 1.5 - 2 times what you normally would and hope you catch a piece of the flop. These players see nothing wrong with playing every draw to the river. Don't play anything that you are not prepared to go all the way with. Not to hijack you but the ...

Consolidated Moved from PD Thread
Sounds like the local Eagles , Elks , American Legion type of weekly tournament. Maybe a couple of nites a week. Although if it is going 4.5 to 5 hrs. That's an unusually good structure . I see guys all the time go on a good run in these and cash 3 or 4 or more times consecutively. And then their luck runs out and they don't cash for 2 months. If you really are that good . You should have no problem banking that cash and going to real a casino with bigger buy ins (and better players). Even if you would have to travel a couple states away. You cashed in 5 out of 6 tournaments , you should ...
