Vaporizer Assistance...Yeah yeah repost police diagf, etc.
knock yourself out. i still don't understand how there's so many anti-mj ppl out there that are on prescriptions for drugs that publicly list far worse proven side effects. "some side effects may include stroke, heart attack and in rare cases, death." LOL sounds like a great drug to try, definitely don't wanna be touching that dangerous weed!

Sorry don't know how to embed, but here's one such case of cannabis oil curing a guy's skin cancer. If you want to learn more about weed, you should watch a documentary called The Union. It's all government propaganda that weed is harmful for you when alcohol, tobacco and caffeine all cause way more damage to your body. Alcohol and pharmaceutical companies (among many others prob) throw millions (billions') of dollars at the gov't trying to keep weed illegal because it'll eat into their bottom lines.

Who is the most generous athlete with regards to charity?
Surprised no one mentioned David Robinson. I hated/hate the Spurs but have always had mad respect for him, he definitely is one of the good guys.

Re:Las Vegas Hotels
If a place like TI, Mirage, PH, etc. is a little too high for you, then I think Harrahs might be exactly what you're looking for. It's still a notch above Excal, IP, CC and Strat and has a GREAT location (less than 5 mins from V, across the street from Caesars, and TI/Mirage/Bellagio/Wynn/Encore all within walking distance, plus there's a monorail station connected to the hotel). I stayed there on the weekend for my last trip before staying at a suite at the MGM for the week, and I honestly had the most fun gambling in the Harrahs casino (while of course walking to the V for my ...

Re:Travis Barker is ridiculous!
And just one more thought, if you want an idea of the difficulty of what TB does in a lot of his remix videos... There's probably 500 songs more difficult on Rock Band. But like I said, I think he's extremely popular just because of his energy, and there ain't nothing wrong with that.

Re:Travis Barker is ridiculous!
Now I like Travis Barker and his remix's just because I like that music, and he adds so much energy. And I have no doubt he's an extremely talented drummer. BUT, what he does in these videos is nothing impressive. I used to play just for fun and to jam once in awhile, and though I haven't touched a set for several years, back when I was playing every week I could've come very close to the Forever video. Yea he keeps time, but so does every other professional drummer otherwise they wouldn't be a pro; keeping time is their JOB. Not saying I'm better than him by any ...

Re:Cash game ruling...

Re:Cash game ruling...
The original "$30 bet" is actually a bet TO $30. With the blinds being $1/$2, it's actually a $28 bet TO $30. A raise would therefore have to be a minimum of $28, 30+28=58. That's the technical answer, but I usually don't even bother to make a raise like that for exactly the reason you've shown, that it takes too much trouble and not worth the effort to try to explain it to an entire table that it's a valid raise.

Re:Cash game ruling...
Err...just saw the edit about a $45 all in. In that case, P4 can still raise again because he hasn't yet acted on P1's bet. If P4 chooses to call or fold however, then P1 and P2 may only fold or call because it wasn't a complete raise to $58. Now if the question is how much can P4 re-raise, that's a little more sticky and I'm not too sure on the answer there.

Re:Cash game ruling...
I would think P4 can raise regardless of what P3 does because he has yet to act on the initial better's action. In the example given, P3's all in acts as merely a call that is less than the initial raise, so without a doubt P4 can raise. The only time it becomes a call/fold only situation is when it gets back to P1/P2 if P4 doesn't raise. P1: Bet $30 P2: Call $30 P3: Call $15 all in P4: May fold, call $30, or raise to a minimum of $58 If P4 calls or folds, then the action is closed for the round. If P4 chooses to reraise, then betting is reopened to P1/P2 in which case they can ...

Re:Tipping question
I read something interesting once about why you should tip an odd amount (that doesn't necessarily round). Say your check is $23.74. Tipping 20%, that comes out to roughly $5 rounding up, making it $28.74. A good way to make sure that the servers don't decide to give themself a bonus is to always have the numbers add up to a certain number. This can include the dollars and cents, or just the cents. What I do is compare the dollars and cents. If I'm intending on leaving $28.74, then I look at the dollars ($28) and add the two numbers together (2 + 8 = 10). Then I make the cents ...

Their recruiting class next year is the nuts, it's so sick. The year after that they're national champions again, and then they get raped by the draft again and start over.

Re:E-Poker machines-Yea or Nay
Pros of regular is that people just throw chips around without realizing values, resulting in severe over/under betting of pots. Chips are fun to play with. Biggest pro of emachines is no need to tip' I dunno cuz I haven't played on any.

A few streets over from Bourbon Street, they have a big thing almost like the ball dropping in New Orleans. I was there the other year but honestly I was so drunk I can't even remember. But yeah Bourbon Street and all the areas around it are just a big party.

Re:Cash Game Advice
Usually only refers to online games too. Most people don't call a live 1/2 game as 200NL, etc, possibly because at higher stakes there are varying/unlimited caps.

Re:vegas living
I checked out the Meridian site, but I couldn't find anything on pricing. Also, is it within walking distance of the V' If so, is that a sketchy area to walk through or is it relatively safe' *edit* meant within walking distance of the strip. the brochure says 7 min walk, but i read the comment on Yelp that it's a long walk, but just curious what "long" is...10 mins, 20 mins, more..' i guess the distance to the ballys monorail station would be just as relevent.

Re:BJ "I give up and make excuses" Penn vs Diego "Nightmare" Sanchez
BJ's standup > Diego's BJ's BBJ > Diego's BJ's experience > Diego's Not to mention BJ's flexibility is something you just can't prepare for. BJ's cardio under his new training regime, so far so good. BJ showed a lot of maturity in his last fight. He showed patience, paced himself, and when he flipped the switched you could absolutely tell he did so and Florian had no chance. If you still want to put your roll on Diego, I'll gladly take your action.
