And now for another priceless stolen poker tip guaranteed to transform YOU from the wimpy loser you are into the big winner at tonights game.
Get in cheap and spike a set:
Spiking a set is one of the most profitable hands you'll find in the game, as long as you don't overplay them. Whenever you're dealt low pocket pairs, like 9 's or under, it's often better to attempt to get in cheap looking to spike a set. There are multiple ways to do this. Raise a small amount in the hope of controlling a strong raise from a player with a big drawing hand like Ace King. Limp in early position in the hopes that no one behind will make a raise. Flat call a small raise from the button or blind positions.
Just find a way to get in cheap with low pocket pairs in the hopes to spike that set. When you do, and it hits someone else, it can be a very profitable hand as long as the other players misses their draw to the river
Om shanti, suckers.

FRIDAY'S POKER UPDATE: A small group got together and drank, played CDs, and played some poker. I was doing great and wanted to leave at midnight, but the bastards talked me into staying.I couldn't catch any good cards when we went to no-limit, and left $20 down. No other stats really matter.-----------GROG

I've played STRIP POKER with this group. It's not so bad. Have you ever seen Jeff Mertz naked? Makes you proud to be a fellow Texan.

I'm not sayin' I prefer playin' strip poker with Jeff ( I'd much prefer playin' with the womenfolk) I'm just sayin' that in his nakedness, he is a fine representative of the male Texan, as I'm sure many women and maybe a few domesticated animals can attest.

Chilisize and Kaliman, have ya'll met Eileen Berger? She's in love with a cartoon character, too. (Just thought you guys might all be in the same club or visit the same cartoon fetish websites or something) Personally, I prefer strip poker with real flesh and blood women, but hey, if cartoons are your thing, I'm not one to judge.--------GROG

Yes, rikko we've been lost without you! I couldn't wait any longer and had to post my own Poker Updates, but it's just not as much fun when you do it yourself. It's much better when somebody does it for you. Chili valiantly jumped in to try and fix things with a real update, but he just doesn't have the same panache and eloquence that you bring to the updates.And then Chili fell in with Jesus H. Christ and Kaliman, attacking me after I blindly put forth my poor naked soul, and I had to defend myself, and it just all got so confusing. I came looking for your guidance at the poker table Friday, but you were nowhere to be found. And so, without your deft touch, the poker board spiraled out of control until finally you briefly reappeared to give us hope. Can you save us rikko? Can you restore the poker board to the grandeur that it once was, and may be yet again? --------please.------------GROG

drinks I was drinkin mellow yellow Scott and Calef were drinking there ale's Bari and Rahual were drinking some mexican beer Jeff was stickin with classic bud
other notes: good music of different mixes...Bari had some nice songs on his.
not alot of people getting very good cards but Calef was solid throughout the night.
lost most of my money to Rahual on one hand after blinds were raised...tripped on flop but he had the straight royal flush draw so he wasn't going anywhere...didn't make the royal but he did make the straight so he took down a huge pot...lots of raising...then had the nerve to complain that he wished more people were in the pot...the freakin bastard...
big pocket pairs didn't fair well that night...

THE BIG WINNER OF THE NIGHT
.............
CALEF BROWN
Congratulations Calef....you were playing extremely well...

You know...... I'm starting to like Chili's Poker Updates more and more.I'm starting to think we don't even NEED Rikki. He's prompt, too. You don't to have plead with him to the point of threats to get an update. He sends out evites early in the week to prompt people to play some poker on Friday. Hell, if he was a director, I'm sure he'd even ship his shows on time or maybe even early! CHILI ROCKS!!!!!!!!------------GROG

I'm sure you will do a GREAT job. Seeing that last Friday was the closest that the game has been at starting on time and Rikki was nowhere to be found I believe attests to your innate leadership skills which only now are becoming evident to the general public.I wouldn't be surprised that as your leadership skills grow and become recognized that within a year or two Greg Vanzo might even be offering you a partnership in Rough Draft Studios. You've got my vote should you ever run for Governor of California. What's more----------CHILI FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!! ALL HAIL CHILI-SIZE!!!!!------GROG

Not sure I'm liking all this Rikki bashing. Chili might be prompt, but does he put up music links?

Have to agree with Muerto...my posts lack the polish...plus I only seem to spell Rahul correctly 1 out of 3...its the info without the spice.
which, I guess might be ironic.

We always hurt the ones we love........and I love Rikki. But when is Rikki going to return my love? I give and give, and what do I get in return? Empty promises. I waited for what felt like an eternity for Rikki's beautiful, eloquent, witty, and thorough Poker Updates, only to be disappointed day after day, hour after hour, and seemingly infinite minutes that turned into endless seconds without any sign of an update. I needed an update bad. I tried pathetically to do my own, but that just wouldn't satisfy my need. And then there was Chili with an update. Though not quite as slick and without links to songs on Amazon, but still it was an update. A shining ray of hope in what had become a pool of darkness in which I was drowning. And so I took solice in another, turning away from Rikki and turning to Chili-size. And Chili didn't disappoint. His updates getting better every time, his confidence growing, until even now he has organized a POKER TOURNAMENT!!---- something I NEVER got from Rikki. And though Chili has given me even more than I could ever have hoped for, still my heart longs Rikki's updates. I know it's sick and pathetic, but the heart wants what the heart wants, and my heart belongs to Rikki.I still have hope, and I'll probably be hurt again, but right now I just can't give that up. So, please forgive me Rikki, and please come back. The poker board NEEDS you! I NEED YOU!!!!---------------------------------------please--------------------GROG

Jesus H. Christ------where are you? I thought you blessed this thread. Now it's worse than EVER with Rachel the fat, pimply-assed, Queen Bitch from Hell, animation snob. Muerto moderator where are you? Get this skanky-assed,foul-mouthed, insensitive, sh*t-for-brains,dikey, ho-bag off the forum. Lock her out or whatever you've got to do.Rikki will NEVER bless us with another update if we can't clean this forum up and get it back to some semblance of what it once was.Don't listen to her rikki---- she's an awful witch. Anybody that likes American Dad THAT much------she must be PURE EVIL!!!
