The Value of a Drink

[PhilL]

The value of a drink - this is classic!

"Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink
I feel shameThen I look into the glass and think
about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes
and dreams If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out
of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say
to myself, "It is better that I drink this wine and let their
dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."
~ Jack Handy

"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they
wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're
going to feel all day. "
~Frank Sinatra

wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does

And saving the best for last, as explained by Cliff Clavin,
of Cheers. One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm.
Here's how it went:

"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo
can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when
the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones
at the back that are killed first This natural selection is
good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the
regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the
slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we
know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you are whispering when you are not.

Cheers!

Una al año no hace daño.

Una al mes, buena es.

Una a la semana, es cosa sana.

Una al día, da alegría.

Una por hora, es arrasadora.

Una cada rato, te descompone el aparato.

Una por minuto, te deja bruto.

Una por segundo, te manda al otro mundo.

-----------------------------
One per year, does no harm.

On per month, good it is.

One per week, is a healthy thing.

One per day, brings happiness.

One per hour, is overwhelming.

One every moment, will break down your apparatus.

One every minute, will leave you a brute.

One every second, will send to the other world.

Hey Phil.........How's your no-limit Texax holding coming?

 

[PhilL]

Larry, I'm still up, I never reloaded after my first $100 buy-in. I don't think my goal of making $50 a day is doable, I just don't have the time to put in to grind it out. So I play for fun when I have the time, a couple of hours over the weekend. If I had a pc laptop with a wireless connection I could put in a couple of hours a day at work, right now that's not an option.

Good, try Full tilt poker .com. They are the fastest growing online poker site.

Larry, I registered with Full Tilt about a week ago, I'm just getting used to their software, and so far I like the features. It seems that Fult Tilt is rated as one of the tougher sites for competition, and I prefer as soft a table as possible. On the plus side it's one of the few sites that is Mac compatible and they do offer 100% sign-on bonus, so I may put some money in there and try my luck.

I'd still like to get my hands on a laptop pc to take advantage of some of the better rooms and tools that are available. I've got some Wilsons software I can't even play on my Mac. I never considered buying a pc until I started playing poker online.

I have to admit I enjoy the studying of the game almost as much as playing. Win or lose I try to play mistake free poker.

Phill..I like FTP because I like to play on tables with only 6 hands. They seem to have allot of them I have been playing .50 and 1.00 no- limit hold em. You can't get hurt too much on that game. Your right there are allot of sharp players on that site. But if you don't get intimidated and stick to your plan you will have a decent shot. You sound like you know how the game is played. Anyway good luck.
