I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

Define the word "old" because I'm positive I'm older than you, yet still consider myself to be young.
|
The older I get, the more I start wondering; Just what in the hell is going on here?

I'm old as shit. ALMOST 20. *slits wrists* 
So exactly how dusty does old vagina get? Like if you blow on it, does it come off like a big cloud?
Have you tried viagra yet? (I suggest this for anyone, young or old, that shit is awesome)
When do you get fitted for your dentures?

Happy B'day I guess, missed commune for a day or two as I'm moving house.
25 is young. When you get to 35 you can start worrying. And by then Warpe and Gator will be dribbling and shitting themselves in a care home somewhere.

My best friend totaled his IROC doing 140 in a 35 when we were 17. Surprisingly he lived.

Do you ever look back on your youth and wish you did something else/didn't do something, old man?

In some profound sense, I'm sure that's a big factor in why people feel old

I know that the max buy-in on those tables is $10, and that I'm supposed to start with a larger bankroll, but cash is a little tight this month (I've even rode my bike to work for a couple weeks to save money for my first deposit), and I'm itching for entertainment after my Playstation died a couple weeks ago.
I know I need to be careful about what hands I start with, and what position I'm in, and what odds I'm getting/giving on draws. Even though I've played at PokerStars on the play money tables, I want to try to learn and try to do this right... I feel kinda bad about not starting with an appropriate bankroll, but I've also got the feeling that I won't learn much at the $0.01/$0.02 tables either.
Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to ask is, do I have the right outlook on things so far? All comments and advice are VERY welcome =) |
