Nice thanks for posting!

Nice video, will wait for its release. Black Friday will forever live in infamy for the poker world. Guess casino gambling is what we'll have to master.

- Did anyone ever see that Crime, Inc. special by MSNBC about online gambling and the ultimatebet cheating scandal, that was pretty interesting. I also read in bluff about the fulltilt scheme. Either way, very interesting and shady.

The trailer made me sad. I don't think I could sit through an entire film.

I still miss online poker. Over the weekend I finally broke down and played mixed cash games for play money. Sigh!

You don't have a regular home game for real monies? Bummer.

I do have a semi-regular cash game for real monies, but I still miss online poker -- no driving for an hour or more each way, could play for an hour or ten whenever I felt like it, could play whatever game I felt like playing, could change stakes/tables/games in the blink of an eye, and so on. Cash games = no downloading hand histories and analyzing my play in HEM.

I haven't played live poker since the day after Thanksgiving. However, that will change tomorrow at the BBBII. Booyah!

this. and i love love love live games, but it truly, really is not the same thing. it's like tournament vs. cash. just a different game. and i miss it, too

I don't miss it that much. I found playing on-line had become a solitary grind.

I miss the free money golden years of on-line poker, and I wish it were around, as I would love to get some real coaching to up my game, but other than that, I'd rather play live, which I do fairly often.

When it comes back, and I win my prop bet with jbutler, I will be playing a LOT as I expect the fish to return like in those nature documentaries with the salmon swimming upstream to mate, and I get to be one of the bears sitting at the edge of the water just grabbing them at will.
