Petition to Change Lock Poker Back to Lock Instead of Cake... ughhhh
Well, I for one logged in and pretty much instantly hated the Lock Poker Revolution software.... The old interface, lobby, table talk, emoticons, slick look, everything about it was fantastic. After last nights update I am pretty much going to abandon the site because I don't think I can sit their and play on this new software for any real amount of time without wanting to blow my head off! They pretty much made it another known site with different colors, I did not like and stopped playing on that site as well for same reasons. I vote to go back to old interface!

Serious tipping thread.
My philosophy is 10% for so-so service, 20% for great service. Also easy way to calc is move decimal to left once and that is your 10%, x2 will be 20% IE $37.88 bill = good service = $3.70x2 = $7.40 and I always round down to make it even so $45 would be sufficient I worked as a Mutual at a dog track which was a big eye-opener on tips and judgement of people, great life lesson, most people are cheap ass fucks!

I am assuming she has friends and shit, you being around is not going to help her other than just sitting and suffering with her. Tragedy fucking to make the pain go away is only in the movies, it doesn't go down so well in real life. FYI

Serious Dilemma (wsop Vegas Related) ...
Luckily for me, I am listening to the 3,862nd song on my Ultimate Fine Tuned Hand Picked 42gb out of my 170gb music placed on my Ipod because I was tired of skipping song after song that I didn't give a fuck to listen too! Don't have to skip shit anymore, by the way song is "Change the World (Lost Ones)" by Anberlin, only 4,638 to go until every song has been listened too and verified as liked. Figured I would share this good news with everyone!

Sounds like your finally in a position to go give wsop a shot and now your dick is trying to talk you out of it' Remember when your ex-wife was perfect in every way until the point where she wasn't' Pretty much sucked and you probably couldn't wait to be done with her' I vowed when I got married (still am) that if this one doesn't work out, it will never happen again, there is no reason if you fall in love with someone you need a piece of paper holding you to them by court of law to prove your love.

WTF is wrong with people
From my understanding, Zimmerman was not on neighborhood watch patrol the night in question (not sure neighborhood watch patrols, typically you just get a sign in your window and look out for strange or out of the ordinary individuals in your neighborhood) he was on his way to the store when he saw Martin walking down the back side of residences, he wasn't on the sidewalk or main street, hence why he thought this individual was suspicious, it had nothing to do with a hoodie, it was martins location which he thought was strange and then events unfolded. Just the other day a neighbor came ...

Your all ridiculous, odds are if you see someone looking suspicious (not saying martin did or not) in your neighborhood, some of you might look twice at this person, then when this person runs, you perceive you were right that this person was up to no good (the assumption I would most likely come to) and possibly chase and call the authorities at which point when they tell me to not chase this individual (I doubt I would listen to this suggestion due to the fact I do not want suspicious person getting away, I would try to keep a great distance but still keep an eye on such person). Then ...

All y'all are idiots, you have no idea what being or acting like a professional is. Hats off to ya if you can make a good living playing cards (a lot of posters on here have tried and failed and or complained how hard and monotonous the actual grind is and the uncertainty of income generated as well as the miserable stress that comes along with it) and 99% fail and go broke and end up having to get a job like the rest of the world. I actually have a family and can't afford to (or even want to) struggle and need to win to put money on the table, my CAREER allows me to put a roof over their ...

Z06FANATIC'S POKER BLOG / FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 2011 what Ive been up to since black friday black friday was a real shock for everyone in the poker community - at first I was more shocked then anything and it really took a couple days before I started my normal weekly grind to realize it was over.

While financially I haven't done as well as I wanted, I've enjoyed the change of scenery - I played online for about 6 years for a ...

lolz, think what you will, your opinion is nil! Just like you OP is looking for a job because he hasn't made a lot of money... You both have cashed for roughly $1.2 million, which looks impressive to most, but in reality, your buy-ins are in the range of 400k or more, which turns it into $800k, odds are your both backed, which means you both are entitled to 50% which is around $400k maybe into your pockets, I am willing to bet you both lost $50k minimum in Full Tilt confiscation, so after taxes, reality says you might have made $30k a year but act like ballers!

Need advice on how to put poker on your resume
Sorry you feel this way, I do not have a problem. Online Poker on a resume will absolutely give you no credentials in a real world job. Here are a few bullet points why. 1. It will not improve your credentials or move you one step closer to securing the job, the only thing it might do is prevent you from getting the job. 2. The math equations in poker are cut and dry simple math, it is far from calculus, people need to stop kidding themselves with the complexity of figuring out a percentage, it is simple standard math. 3. In the financial district, poker skills have no real ...

Well first off learn how to put a coherent sentence together.... Second, don't put a bunch of glorified text about poker making it sound like more than it is, even if it is a game of skill, it is still gambling due to the fact that even when you use your skills and get it in good, you still have a chance of losing any given hand. The last thing you want to put on your resume is that you are a gambler, profitable or not, if I were an employer, I wouldn't believe you to be profitable if you are looking for a job.... You don't need to explain the gap if they don't ask, if they do ask, you can ...

Question about taxes when selling/sharing action
Simple solution, take the whole amount won, take the taxes of the top, then split the remainder by the percentages. This will make it painstakingly easy as well as benefit you with your return.

This is fucking ridiculous, no one here has any facts to come up with an opinion, majority of the information everyone thinks they know is what the media is stating, restating and shuffling around to restate again but in a different way then muddling all the information. The only thing I know is this whole event is a shitty situation and sucks that anything went down at all, but last thing I should do is try and pick a side or stance when I have no real idea of what happened along with pretty much every other person out there besides the participants, witnesses and authorities.

Police brutality
Not sure what your all talking about, the girl is not the victim, the girl getting jumped by two girls is the victim, she was now the criminal and got dealt with as so. This is not rocket science, it is all right there in the video, doesn't get any more clear. Us here in America think we are owed all these rights, once we do something wrong, then get enforced by an authority to stop us from committing a crime, then we become the fucking victim, that is bullshit and the main reason our country is going to shit!

Am I a scumbag for this?
Most likely, he would be screaming bloody murder since they would not release the funds until he paid up and got current. Odds are they wouldn't take it out of the winnings, but need it to be paid separately and he would be calling them thieves and what not. Maybe not tho, cause then he would have no problem jumping thru hoops to try and get them their money.

Your a moron as well, he deposited to play, how the fuck does his bank declining the deposits after the fact fall on Pstars shoulder' His bank declined it, so in essence, this is his F-up (or his banks), everyone is so fucking stupid on this site, learn how the world works before you open your stupid fucking mouths!

The sad part is your blaming Pstars for their system not working and pulling out the funds, this is incorrect as well. Does anyone ever take responsibility anymore, it is always someone else's fault and yada yada yada! Pstars payment system isn't broken, they have to jump thru hoops and do who knows what to allow you to deposit, if the US gov would quit dicking them around you would not have one single deposit not go thru and would be able to withdrawal straight into your bank account and the world would be peachy. Nothing in the world is perfect and this is just the price you pay to play ...
