You've probably played enough hands by now where the odds of you having that streak or longer is near 100%. :P
Hope things turn around for you GWAE!

I played about 500 hands today on 9/6 JoB. Had quads 6 times. 2 of them dealt (Q's & 4's) and got a dealt straight flush (34567 spades). Made $183.75. Now devouring a sub from Subway. :-D

Just played a total of 9 hands. Hit quads 7's on the 9th and quit up another $30.
Just rubbing it in GWAE's face :-)~
Quote: DiscreteMaths2I learned a valuable lesson, if you are going to play in an online poker tournament, don't stuff yourself like a pig right before hand. I couldn't wait out the break to use the bathroom so a missed out on a few hands. Ended just short of the money and those hands easily could have made the difference. I guess the other lesson is, play on a portable device and be prepared to play on the toilet or elsewhere.
When I used to play a lot of online poker I always used my laptop just for that reason.

Don't a lot of "pros" come into tournaments late? Hellmuth is a prime example.

This particular tournament had no rebuy or late registration so it was do or die. But yeah for the ones you can show up later than other people there is certainly a strategic decision to make there.
In Baccarat... Banker is not the casino... Player is not the customer. It could be North and South or Heads and Tails or Blue and Gold.... Its just a set of historical terms. Banker is slightly more likely to be the result, hence the commission of five percent.
In Blackjack, its all an individual customer against the Dealer. Its not the customers as a group or anything; its simply each customer versus the dealer's hand.
I'm sometimes called 'Mr. Banker' by the Baccarat dealer, but I do often bet on Player.
As to boring,,, most people think waiting and waiting for me to be able to count my cards at Blackjack and then try to figure out what to do is boring.

Heard about the recent schleprocking. You know you can play with your eyes open, right?

I guess he wasn't due.

Why would you need to keep your eyes open? You just hit the deal button over and over. No need to even look at the screen.
Not quite as good as when I saw them back in the day, but still damned fine.

GWAE should definitely use that as his avatar for at least a few weeks. Hysterical.

The game per se is as exciting as watching paint dry. The amusing sight of watching people diligently tracking the outcome history as if that matters one bit isn't. ;)

I think Baccarat is one of those games where it's as fun as the players and dealers make it. I've been at tables where everyone (including the dealer) was getting into the suspense and getting excited and having a good time and it was some of the most fun I've had in a casino. Other tables the dealer and players just go through the motions and I got bored and left after 2 or 3 hands.
Quote: onenickelmiracleIf pigs are used to harvest human organs for humans, are Jewish and Muslim people not allowed to use them? Oink, oink, oink?
I don't know about Jews, but I know Muslims are allowed to eat pork if it's the only thing to eat and they would starve to death otherwise. So, in that sense, I would imagine a Muslims could use a pig harvested organ if there were no human organs available and they would die otherwise.
Thanks for answering.Quote: TigerWuI don't know about Jews, but I know Muslims are allowed to eat pork if it's the only thing to eat and they would starve to death otherwise.

Dumps are really gold mines. In some countries in S. America, the people dive in landfills covered in water searching for gold. The dumps are a mess of scattered disorganized raw materials that will be worth trillions when they're harvested. It'll probably be after peak everything or as soon as robots are good enough. Will just have to work around the hazardous chemicals everywhere from asbestos to lead, etc. It will all be recycled I think.Quote: ThenWhatHappensQuote: onenickelmiracle

A "free" IQ test with a Nigerian prince at the end?
That was what I was thinking, but didn't want to taint the question.Quote: MoosetonA "free" IQ test with a Nigerian prince at the end?
I totally wonder about these things. I dont know about salt, but sometimes a commodity is not just a commodity. Coffee is not just coffee, there are fillers(leaves, twigs,etc.) and flavorings. This is why different coffees do not taste the same, and prices are different. Maybe you buy a cheaper coffee, paying for crap literally, it scares me.Quote: rxwineWhenever I have to pick up salt at the store, I always wonder who in world buys name brand salt (Morton) over the cheaper generic store brand?
I first wondered about this buying peanut oil. A gallon of brand-named peanut oil is $16, but great value WalMart brand is $12. They're not the same, you can tell the cheaper is darker colored, so there must be a quality difference not on the label.
Salt, I dont know the difference brands might make or what could be in there. Lots of products we buy can have different quality levels, not shown on the labels to clearly understand. Maybe the cheaper salt is gotten from our own urine for all we know.

I buy Morton ' s for 2 reasons. They add iodine, which I and a lot of women need as a supplemental nutrient for thyroid health, and their salt doesn't clump as easily as generic brands, even if the house is humid, or you keep it in a camper or someplace relatively moist. It takes me about 3 years to go through a canister of salt, so I appreciate the dependable shelf life. I have, a couple of times over the years, bought a canister of generic, and both times had to toss them out after a few months because they'd fused into a solid lump in the package; never had Morton ' s rot like that.
Should I buy Tabasco sauce or just steal from Chipotle a bottle or two?Quote: AxelWolfWho buys table salt? It's free at all the fast food joints.

That's Florida (and Charleston SC before that) for you. Humid climates. Might as well be a rock in a can.
I saw "Popcorn" salt at the market. What is it that makes this salt worthy of the adjetive? Who would need a dedicated container of salt for their popcorn? Don't microwave popcorn bags come with salt and butter flavor? Do enough people make unsalted popcorn that this product would find a market?
Quote: AyecarumbaI think table salt is like bottled water. It's not the base product that's different, but the trace elements that may drive a preference for a "name" brand.

Popcorn salt is much finer and not as course as "table salt".
