TSP Poker Club

Sort by newest Sort by date
personally, i like the idea of weekly games on sunday at current time 8:00 eastern, but mainly hecause on the "monday" weeks i go through withrawal having to wait that extra day to get my poker fix, but i am ok with what we have now or whatever the group or club manager decides.

the chip issue is irrelevant to me, but there where some who did not like the "charity" aspect of needing others to foot the buyin. that should not be an issue now for a couple reasons 1) it would only take a couple logins a week at least for hours apart to get $25,000 on chips available for next buyin, and 2) every player in the club is now more than capable of earning their own at the play money sit-n-go tables at least up to the $100k buyin level, you guys would wax those games. if we do change to sundays i would think it would be easier to just end the two recurring games we have now and start just one auto-scheduled at new rates on a weekly recurrence.

i haven't bought any chips because the nature of my employment for the gov would require any cash transaction for any reason on a site like that or any foriegn-based gambling or sports site (among other things) be officially disclosed and approved by 2nd or 3rd level supervisors. so i just play for fun. i've built up my stash to the 8-10 million range a few times now, which i then promptly lose playing above my rim and generally nonexistent bankroll management habits. bit for me it is a chance to play with and learn (hard lessons) from highly skilled folks. i'm just in it for the love of the game and i really enjoy playing with the folks in this group.

COOL !!! So I received my shiny new TSP Talk silver coin today !!! It's pretty awesome...I can see why you Guys fell in love with them :smile: The Wife said : "That's REALLY cool !!!"

Thanks, Burro, for winning this round of poker, and sending your prize to me !!! :smile: ...and thanks to Tom, for creating the coins, and shipping it to me so fast !!! There wasn't anything in THIS deal for him... :eek:

Now I feel bad, since I haven't mailed off MY end of the bargain to Burro yet...I WILL post a few more pix in my "Vacation" thread, just to whet Burro's appetite for the additions to his waypoints, while I work on the packaging and mailing...

Humm... so how exactly do you do that? I am probably using wrong method.... but actually I am good right now with plenty of chips. But I did get them at $1k at one time.
 
Are you talking about getting the new chips? When you login, there is a "Free Chips" button up by your account balance.

That's what I thought too! I knew I was just too sweet to chomp you completely!! :smile: Had to leave something to play with! :rolleyes: But that ruthless "Spartacus" had to ruin it! :notrust: .... sorry Fog... :(

psst... I should not have said ruthless... that might make him feel too good for the next game. Maybe "desperate" is the better word.... :nuts:
okay .. Stu.. try not to go on tilt....

oh.. okay.. I've never seen that. Humm... so it offers up the free chips every 4 hours even if you have chips? Nice!!!
I guess because it says "buy" play chips I always avoid it and do not click on it to get the pop up offer.

BTW, I am good with continuing to alternate Sunday/Monday from week to week or doing just Sundays! I will go with whatever the group prefers.

is that a misspelling? is there supposed to be an extra "l" in there? chaos is my element, variance my friend, i perform best under that circumstance. if you get a hot read then you punch it, that is how the game works. once you sit down, the chips are no longer "yours", you have to steal them back, and be able to stand and walk away with them, it is a brutal game.

poker actually relates to life, i did not learn to be really "comfortable" in a poker game until my exwife, a nez perce native princess bipolar (fierce fighter - don't know no quit), i have seen chaos, writ large for all the life marbles. the secret is, you will never control the variables, sometimes odd stuff happens, that is actually to your advantage, in chaos there is a chance. if you seek to control and define and calculate everything just to be sure before you make the move, you will come up short in the long run, guaranteed.

so despite my lifelong exposure to gambling and chance and numbers and probability and psychology, it was my exwife who inadvertently showed me the secret to riding chaos, you can't be afraid to "feel", with a big ole shiteatin grin, wheee!, don't f'n care! and that is basically the trick to poker.

word.
 
Oh but Stu.. this is where I differ. I love my chips. I pet them in my mind.... give em a little kiss.. each one! I don't like my chips being taken from me... well at least not until I get bored or impatient. Then I give them away as I run for the door with wild abandon to go sit quietly and watch FBN or Carlson or Hannity! :rolleyes:

P.S. Tilt is spelled with one "l". And I do know you go on tilt... I can tell!! :D

I got email from pokerstars today for 250,000 Free Play Chips! with a code to enter. Clinking on link opened up PokerStars but had to go to 'Tools' to enter the code. You may want to see if you have same email...much easier than the 4 hours for 12,500 chips method

faith homes, faith. i ain't worried too much about the mojo, luck is what you make it.

besides, me and the man got an arrangement, plus i tricked the beast into a side deal as a hedge just in case, gonna love collecting that bet, you never know.

 
sweet annie! good deal, thanks for the mention or i never would've known. it wasn't a concern until i went from 6 mil to less than 7k earlier, sometimes you get your money in good and they burn you on the river, sometimes they get you on the turn instead, but always some jackass with an ace sucks out.

so i was despondent and had to wait another 2 hours just to get 12.5k to play in the cheap seats, now i'm loaded! wheeee!
 
does anybody know a good reason to hang in a pot with 9 10 offsuit, see an A 2 4 rainbow flop, call an all in bet on the turn, just to catch a river 9 and beat my made 4's? are some folks just stupid?

Hummm.. You talkin to me? And here i thought you were ticked for mentioning the tilt... But...Everyone has tells.

You start going "all in" a lot. Of course you gotta do that if your low on chips, but only if you think you got a good probability of winning. me... I do it too (go all in... And lose..bad call) , but often i only do it when i get tired and want the game to be over! Basically, i am purposely committing suicide...playing crazy and loose.. But if I'm feeling good and have patience then no way will I play reckless.

Sometimes i call just to see if someone is BS'ing me...if cost not too high to find out. Im amazed when a few players in our club get down to a few hundred and dig their way out. Impressive to see.

I usually only play once a week with the club, but tonight i played with 10K for about 30 minutes and ended with $32k. Took most on one hand... Knocked out three guys at once...one bought back in but he left table after a couple hands...tilt! Good strategy after a hard hit is to just keep folding for awhile until u get mojo back... But you already know that. You and Everyone in our club are really good players!

Changing up play from game to game is a good strategy....do the opposite of what I did the last time. Keep em guessing. For me Staying focused on end goal/strategy is key..... Patience is very key! Finding just the right time to bite hard!!! :D. Annie is sweet but Cuda is a predator! Now if you were talkin to EA, then you just got 411 on the Cuda....:rolleyes:
