point out some home truths occasionally
get upset at some of the things written on your thread now & then - usually by others
but always read your thread first, every single word on it, and there's been a few
#1 fan even if I post less than before, despite the things you say about me in the chat box
ps study plo8 for sure, but play as well - much faster way to learn and pretty good value at £10/hour

my turn to have to google:
The episodes involved situations of school bullying, broken family life, indifferent school staff, male bonding, and largely failed sexual encounters.
think i'll stick to Eminem thank you. be careful what you wish for.
What are friends? Friends are people that you think are your friends But they're really your enemies, with secret identities and disguises To hide their true colors So just when you think you're close enough to be brothers They wanna come back and cut your throat when you ain't looking
could be an apt quote for a poker player

I love you bro - can't say clearer than that.
as for the quote, you countered my Eminem with inbetweeners, which also sounds pretty sick, so I looked for an eminen reply about friends - and thought what he said was pretty apt for a poker player - in game - where clearly we might say sorry or unlucky after taking someone out but that is what we are trying to do - even to friends.
Now what we can agree on is that between your eggshells and my insensitivities wires can easily get crossed
I do have to correct you on a couple of your figures (I know its the Ipad's fault....), it was almost 4,000 runners and I came 12th.
The rest is unfortunately very true....88 on a QJ8 board with a couple of clubs, GII on the flop vs KxKc...filthy sweat on the turn as it was the 10c, and a final club on the river sealed my fate
Was pretty cool sharing a table with Jack Ellwood and Ben Jones, who between them have won close to $5m online.
I assume you mean without general as against local anaesthetic. They can numb the area very well these days with local injections, although I agree they may not be the most pleasant experience either.
If it all sounds too much see if you can have it done under sedation. You still will be awake but in a dreamlike dosy state, a sort of half way house, but with no feeling of pain.

found this which will illustrate what we are talking about to those lucky enough never to have had to go through root canal work themselves

oh, and i'm not really back, just making a few exceptions when I feel strongly enough.
and to have a poster on another thread to suggest the other one is the best, well what would a lemon know?
Enjoy the break
I'm too British, but I'd probably not send the eggs back a second time. Twice back to the kitchen and I'd be paranoid that the third lot, even if the eggs are cooked perfectly, are liable to have some of chef's 'extra special' ingredients.
Think I'd be more likely to consider changing my mind about the restaurant and leaving to find another place to eat!
ps that boy sounds like me and my mum when I was that age (albeit less of the rough, don't want to be too down on Ma Shakin)... and to be fair, I did normally deserve a clip most of the time. Probably helped me to become quite a nippy runner too....
The author of that thread is a good friend of mine, Rupinder "George" Bedi, & I'm sure he won't mind me posting the thing here.
See next Post.....
Here's George, smiling as always.
The question that George Bedi posed was......
"...2/5 game at local. I'm not playing but a huge fuss kicks off.
There's around 800 in the middle on the river of a 4 heart paired board. Player 1 has lead out for £600.
Drunk guy stares him down playing around 1250 announces loudly "RAISE" after a few seconds he laughs and says "just kidding" and tries to muck his hand. Dealer stops him and states he has to raise. Drunk guy argues that he didn't realise. Floor is called and state he has to min raise. Player grabs his chips and refuses to put them on the pot. Floor states if he doesn't put chips in he will be asked to leave to which player 2 says fine. Player 1 says whoa whoa whoa what about the £600?
Do the casino force the chips out of his hand? What happens of he just ups and leave with a the chips? Should the casino make good the money player 1 has lost?...."
Tough one really, and I think you would have needed to be sat at the table to really know if it was a drunken error or something more sinister.
The way the post is written it sounds like the guy was purely having a bit of fun, the sort of thing that a lot of people probably do in home games with no angle shooting intentions.
For me, if there is a want for recs to get involved in games then poker needs to be accessible and, most of all, fun for them to take part in.
Being too onerous with rules (of which there appear to be a very large number) will be the opposite of that. I mean, drunk comes and sits at your game (you rub hands with glee), do you really expect him to read a whole poker rule book to know and understand every rule before he plays? Or are you happy for him to just get stuck straight in? If it's the latter, is that a sort of angle shoot, pre-empting that you'll catch him out in some way with a ruling he's unaware of?
Sure it's a learning experience for the guy involved if he has to give up the cash, but for the longer term health of the game it would seem better value to warn him rather than have him leave the casino feeling like he's just been 'robbed' of several hundred quid and that being enough to put him (and maybe others) off from coming back and playing again.
Obv if it happens after a warning or if someone who was present read it in a more sinister light, then yeah, he has to be taken to town.
