I'll leave the wild talk to DB, but as poker and NYM are basically OUR points of commonality, I'll leave you with another NL Hold 'Em play that works best online, but also live.
If you are in late position and are holding something like a naked A or naked king, say Ah-4d, and it is called or folded around to you, BET THE SUCKER 5X THE BIG BLIND. You will be raised by one of the blinds maybe 1 out of 6 times. Don't be afraid to call. He's holding a small to mid pocket pair. You've got one over for sure. If you are called, at worst you are being flat-called with K-K down to 10-10. If an A hits on the flop, you're good to go.
If rags hit, bet the pot because if anyone's flat-calling you, they have to worry about you holding pocket As. Expect to take it down there. If you are raised, however, throw it away. If you are called, throw it away with the first penny that hits the pot on the turn, unless you make your A on the turn.
If a shitty (sorry, Anita) texture flop hits, like 7h-7c-8c, check/fold.

P.S. Was anything sweeter to the ear than Bob Murphy during a pregnant pause in the game saying "...veteran catcher, Milt May..."
These pictures...one of the funniest things Les Chinois ever did was to make a street slang pun out of the shape of the Atlantic Ocean; something like scoliosis from trying to keep up with a serious dancer like a JLo. It could be worse, at least its not a doofus head like the Pacific Ocean is shaped like. Let me know if this makes sense: corporatorially, if "Middle Real Estate" and "Mediterreanean Sea" add up to "pancreas" in the big body politic.....???
Just do yourself a favor and learn how to play No-Limit Hold 'Em straight away. In two years time, you'll thank your Uncle Kelso that you did.

Made an OK play against the ranked woman player last night. I had A-A. She made it 25 to go. I made it 50. She called from the blind. The flop comes 6h-4d-3d. She makes it 100 to go. I give her top pair or open-ended draw but figured in the former case I was about a 48% dog and in the latter case about a 56% favorite, so I made it 250 to go figuring that the raise factor might make her put me on a set. Neither the made straight nor the straight draw seem plausible, because why would she have put so much in pre-flop even defending blinds?
She thought for a long time and threw it away. Turned out she did have top-2, and should have called especially given that she also had a half-assed running straight draw.

It was great, donkey stallion, but I really need to be getting home now. No need for cuddling. Sleep calls.

I gotta go w/J-Lo, our round the way girl, on this one. Like Sir Mix A Lot, I gots to admit that I get sprung when I see that J-Lo picture.
What's the deal w/the poker talk...is something going on that I'm not privvy to?
