Celebratory gunfire was ridic last night. Sounded like a war zone. Just glad none of it seems to have hit the house.

I still have this show on vhs somewhere. Being able to access this material is one of the few positives of the internet.

in for poker


lol i could see playing maybe. what's the buy-in? game? format?

IS MLYLT guaranteed to ship it?

I am also down for NLHE. I really liked the $25 + $10 bounty format. Distributing the payouts wasn’t as complicated as I thought it was gonna be.

by jmakin

tourney created. 5k chips 100/200 starting level, blinds go up every 5 mins this time. So it shouldn't be a marathon. I hope. Maybe I should make the starting chips 3k.

Edit: made the starting chips 3k. This’ll be a fast one.

by jmakin

Lets say 6:30 pacific, $25 buyin, 5 min blinds (starts at 100/200) with 5k starting chips. WTA if we get less than 5, if 5 or more, 2nd place gets back buyin. If over 7 lets make it 80/20 (probably wont be more than 7)

I can make the tournament in pokerstars shortly

the results:

Looks like yours truly won the last one. HORSE. Woohoo. Was the summer of 2020, so prime covid time.

You were in the thread then, not sure why you didn't play with us. There were a LOT of planned and canceled tries.


I'd like to play some cards with you guys sometime.


Is play money on PokerStars still the way to go? Anybody know of any better places to set something up?

Steve Goodman was awesome! I'm not sure I ever saw that episode of ACL, but my memory of that year is not terribly clear. Watching it now. Thanks for posting!

eta: Weird flashback. Now I'm pretty sure I have seen this previously. Enjoying it immensely once more.

Way.


got some buddies in seattle who do $50 cash game every couple months

it's done with everyone in a zoom chat and he runs the poker itself over some janky web based hosting thing but it's super easy because no downloads/registration/etc you just click the link and you're in - can ask him about the name of it again if interested

doubt they'll have horse etc

He was awesome, Tom. Watching him do these shows in the 70’s always brings mixed feelings. He knew he was dying and yet, he still gave everything he had.

I’d like to think I’d be as strong as him in the face of knowing my time was drawing to an end. I just don’t think that would be the case.

Does the desire to slow things down in life ever dissipate?

Methinks not, but I’d like to be wrong.

Yeah. There are a lot of similarities with the last months of Warren Zevon's life. I don't have whatever it was that was driving those two guys at that point.

Nice clip! I love that song despite having one of the worst experiences of my life on a short ride on that train while I was in college. It was not exactly as he described. LOL

McLovin has officially turned into my favorite oot poster. His ongoing work in the ff thread is a wonder to behold. Kudos! I hear he's a pretty good chessplayer too. I used to be a fairly bad one, back in the 90s. USCF right around 1700 before I got wise and hung it up.

I wonder if he'll start posting only in unintelligible verse now


hey now
