Funny how he says it should be easy money when he has no idea who is playing yet..

I think he means they'll be playing $1/2NL or lower with a minimum buyin of $40 and max of $100 buy-in.

......anyone with a clue realizes this.

Anyone with a clue knows the max buyin is 100 big blinds,not 50.With that max it makes it even harder to get back your losses if losing.

Clearly but one piece of evidence that I will be attending a game full of minnows...............

Again, I'm a minimum -144 favorite to come home a winner.

Stop making up lines. No one's buying.

thread is great...

Bunch of SBR shut-ins "know" that some busted up home game playing recluses are gonna set up Fish for his $60

what are the gonna do, split up fish's $60 for a whopping $9 profit each

sometimes I think 80% of the people here don't even gamble...

Giving is never -EV, perhaps to some, but not in my book.

Let out? I dont give a shit who I am playing poker with....if I want to leave 15 minutes into the game I pick up and leave.

milwaukee mike · 10-29-10, 08:39 PM

if it's a home game and you do that there's a good chance (at least around here) that you won't be invited back into that home

lol...

Again, stop making assumptions..............I wanted to stay, but only 6 people showed up and myself and another player cleaned out three of the players.

I was glad to leave, lots of NBA halftimes this evening.............been fun thus far.

CHEERS,

As long as I keep Patrick McIrish out of these small stakes games, it will be almost impossible to lose.
