although Rikki has yet to post the results I want to go on the record to thank Shannon for the last hand I made....she read me correctly but decided to raise anyway....hoping i didn't have what she thought...but i did and for that I thank her for giving my hand away...although in retrospect I forgot that I had cashed out 20 dollars to Bari so the end chip count did not have consequence. In result....Rahuls run is broken...although it didn't look like it in the beginning...and for the first time EVER, Chili is the big winner. Kudos to me....
let the flaming begin...

This chilli fellow must be stopped. He is obviously harboring secret ambition of assuming the title of HABANERO again and causing untold loss to others.

this Chili fellow must be stopped? now I am all for a little razzing, but I don't think that the fact that I finally was the big winner in the what? nine, ten? months of play actually qualifies as a must be stopped. Rahual was a must be stopped....even Greg before he ran off to Korea might even qualify...but Hey, what ever gets you to the game on Friday... Bring it ON!.....HABANERO is BACK for GOOD!

... and dont forget some of us like like it spicy,... HABANERO only makes our mouths water...
And now, a REAL (not tantric) poker tip (stolen from a secret web source) for tonights game:
Assuming you raised pre-flop and have a strong table image, if you are in a pot and are last to act, make sure you bet if an Ace or King hits the board. You might have raised pre-flop with a pocket pair, or even a Jack Ten. That's ok, bet it anyway if it is checked around to you.
If your opponents show weakness by checking, they may have been attempting to hit the flop a certain way by calling your raise pre-flop. If they check, that indicates more often than not that the board missed them. If they call your bet on the flop after checking, then you'll need to determine the next course of action based on what you know about the player. Are they smooth calling a pair? Are they chasing something? Do they have a monster and are slow-playing you?
You'll have to determine what to do on the turn based on what you know of the player, what the board contains that they might be drawing to and what turn card hits. However, on the flop, if you are last to act and it is checked around to you, make sure you bet it no matter what.
Also, be careful not to overbet. If your opponet check-raises you, you're going to have to fold nine times out of ten, unless you really do have a good draw of 12 to 15 outs with chips to spare to gamble. Overbetting means you'll just lose chips for no good reason if the play fails. The right size bet tends to include factors like how large the pot is, how many chips your opponet has, and how strong a player they are. Often, a bet that is 1.5x to 2x the size of the pre-flop bet works fine.
OM shanti, over and out.

For all of you who think this RDS Poker thread is meaningless self-serving internet masturbation (this means you, Family Gal), I give you this email which I received today. I defy anyone with a heart to read this sweet soul's desparate words and not choke back a tear or two:

BUT I DO CARE ABOUT THE CRAPPY MOTHERFUCKIN SONOFABITCHIN SHITTY-ASSED POKER UPDATE!!!!!
GIVE IT TO ME NOW BEFORE I COME DOWN THERE AND RIP YOUR FUCKIN BALLS OFF AND SHOVE EM DOWN YOUR THROAT AND RIP YOUR TONGUE OUT AND HANG YOU FROM THE PIPES OVER HEAD AND BASH THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD WITH ONE OF YOUR SEVERED LEGS SO THAT YOUR EYES FALL OUT AND HANG THERE SO YOU CAN SEE YOUR ENTRAILS SLOWLY BEING PULLED OUT AS YOU HANG THERE CHOCKING ON YOUR FUCKIN BALLS!!!!!
JUST A POKER UPDATE, THAT'S ALL I ASK!!!
x o x o x o x o x o x o x o x o x o x o x o x o x o x o x o x o x o x o x o x o x o x o x o x o x o x o x o x o x o x o x o x o x o

I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
POKER UPDATE
A bunch of RDS and ex-RDS employees got together last Friday--June something, and played Limit Texas Holdem. The game started sometime after 6:00 pm and ended sometime later that night. Let's see....uhm, it was Rich, Scott, Bari, and a few more people, I think Steph was there, I don't remember. MIA--- whoever didn't show up that usually shows up.Somebody played some sort of music, who knows what it was, and there drinks. Beer, and probably some harder alchol, I don't remember. Calef was the big winner(dad-blamed cheater!)
Oh yeah---Rich stomped on poor Chili's full-house with his 4-of-a-kind.
Let's see ----quotes. Somebody probably said something funny. And a bunch of lame jokes about pink-eye.
Last two hands were no limit.I cleaned up on the last hand and everybody quit.
Hilites, if you can call 'em that. Scott Vanzo's Steph imitation that went over the top of Rich's.
Feel free to post more info or wht have you.----GROG
(That felt good, but it's just not same!)

Dear GROG,
They're laughing at you, not with you. What my Father did to you was not an accident. It was on purpose.
On Earth as it is in Heaven, J.H.C.

Hmmm... Seems that both JHC and Roger like to f**k.
I would play this game if we could have that sitting on the table. No, not the Colt 45.

Grog's poker update of last weeks game, valiant but inadequate, only goes to highlight rikki_rakko's special talent at giving a good update with just the right balance of facts and innuendo (I hear thats not all he's good at giving).
So pleease rikki, dont waste your talents on that animation stuff anymore, you've got mouths to feed on this board!
