Dating question — Should this bother me?

Friday, October 16th, 2009

I’m dating a professional single dad in his early 40s. Every now and then, he plays poker (for money) with his friends. Once a year they have a poker tournament at which about 40 people attend. I’m not sure how often he plays or what it really involves. Any reason to be alarmed? How can I ask more questions with seeming like I’m alarmed?

Online Poker (No Limit Holdem) Question?

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

Okay, was drinking with a buddy last nite and started talking about online poker and had a question we couldn’t agree on.

I see some websites sell programs that supposedly allow you to see other players cards at a table. I guess first off is this possible or is everything to secure for this to happen. If it is possible could a normal person do it or would it take a Genius like Stever Erkle or Dougie Houser to do something like this? I have heard techincally the software does work, however you need to have everyone at the tables ip address which would be difficult to get.

Also, I guess this question is along those same lines but somewhat different. I was telling my buddy how I play in sit and go tournaments of like 10 people sometimes and he said it’s all a scam that friends sit at a table and play together and tell each other their cards to screw everyone else at the table. I’m sure some people do this but do you really think it’s that prevalent that you shouldn’t plya online?
You brought up an interesting point, I think if your not in a game you can sit at a table and watch a game and see players cards. You would think sites would be onto this but maybe not. I’m going to log onto bodog poker and see if I can sit at a table and just do that. I’ll report back whether you can see cards or not.
Okay, just checked, they do guard against that which is good. That would suck if people always knew your hand.
I saw someone commented the poker rooms would be out of business. THey are still making a rake on every game/hand so they are not going out of business. Anyone who has cheat programs are taking money from othe players not the poker room, they are making more money. I’ve also heard people claim the games sorta fixed by making sure people win a good percentage of the time so everyone kind of breaks even and they keep making their rake.

What are some good charities for White folks?

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

I’m a professional poker player, and as you may know, many of us donate a significant portion of our winnings to charity (most notably Barry Greenstein). I have recently won a particularly large sum of money in a major tournament and would like to donate all the proceeds to a reputable charity.

I did a little searching on Yahoo!, but I’m not very good with computers and I couldn’t find anything. I’m just looking for a good White charity for students in need of college scholarships. I don’t want any of it going to the negros, I believe they have their own charity.

Thank you in advance.

What is your fav site for games?

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

I’ve been using candystand a lot. It’s pretty cool with trophy’s and tournaments and a very realistic poker game. But although it has some of my faves like mahjong it doesn’t have others like jewel quest. Do you know any great free sites that don’t require downloads? (Free trial membership is NOT what I consider free, I mean free period!)

Can I share with you an example of humility?

Saturday, September 12th, 2009

A woman is playing in a poker tournament. All of the competitors are very good players, but when it’s over she has defeated them all. Someone from the crowd approaches her and says You’re the best!

The woman shows a hint of a smile, and in a soft voice she replies This time.
