Anyone have a recommendation of a place/person to go to in Dublin for a gas stove?
We have a crappy bog-standard open gas fire, which we NEVER use (apart from a brief month a few years ago when our boiler packed it in), it just doesn't output much heat no matter how long it's on. I feel like a gas stove would 1) provide much better heat and 2) close up the chimney and reduce any drafts in our living room.

The heat from it is excellent plus it has wheels which is a bonus!

Be vaguely interesting if someone could run it through some of the tools which we didn't have back then, assign suitable ranges and see who was right.
Albeit back then likely ranges were admittedly a tad wider.

God it’s cringeworthy going back to those times.

Given the recent poker nostalgia, I thought some might be interested in PartyPokers decision to make everyone on the site change their alias as well as taking the decision to ban HUDs and no longer provide hand histories.
I know bots are an issues but how big an issue I'm not sure. I see pros & cons of the decision. Decent post on 2+2 about the implications and some quotes by Rob Yong:

Why don't they allow you to keep the bottle caps when you buy e.g. a coca cola in a stadium? Just that they have a hard edge that might hurt someone if thrown?

I can’t find my first post. Definitely 2005 or earlier.
Some gas stuff looking back at old posts. I’d love a home game after reading some of that. Some of the highlights for me are the Our Conor Piss Up, the Satnav inspired Karaoke day/night and the heads up knock out comp and the boardie only games in the Merrion. The IO reporting in the very early stages of IPB was mighty fun as well. Great times.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

Originally posted by Hectorjelly View PostI think his attitude is quite offensive, it's clear from his quotes he doesn't really understand the issues he is talking about and thinks the community should trust party poker. I think we have learnt at this stage we shouldn't trust poker sites. Also there was bot rings busted literally a few weeks ago on party that were only found out because of players investigations.
I think the decision from the perspective of adding additional security for players is probably wrong. I don't think this will do much to mitigate that. It just means those building bots/software have to work harder.
However, having read a few bits online around cardchat, 2+2 etc I do think that the bulk of players, most recreational will view this as a good thing. Personally, I think they'll view it as a means of levelling the playing field after the pros have basically solved it.
From the perspective of adding to security, increased transparency and whatever else they're spouting, nothing changes-argubaly gets worse- but from a marketing perspective it's a good move which I think will entice more recreational players to play there which is their real goal.

Originally posted by Hectorjelly View PostIt's hard to describe. Each episode is as cringey as some of the worst scenes from the UK office.

But the way he goes on about would be embarasssing for a teenager. He seems desperately insecure.

hahaha I agree with much of what you say, uk office is right. Its like some class of turrets thats encouraged and nurtured rather than treated. He definitely has issues but shur dont we all. But I love Dnegs vlogs and I find them so entertaining!. Hams it up to the camera way too much, I doubt hes like that as much off camera.
I love when he tampers down his indignant feelings when someone interupts him mid vidoe for an picture or autograph!. He tells the guy ''I'm doing a video here...but ok yeah ill do a photo'' like a marytr!. Ah wsop wouldnt be the same without Dnegs vlogs.

I also decided recently that fat people with powerful voices are great, they can produce a restrained power full of emotion and anticipation that they let it rip at some point.

An idea that is getting a bit of traction amongst the core soft leavers of having a referendum where you list your preferences 1-3 May's deal, no deal and remain sounds interesting but I'm not sure how it could work. Any sort of referendum has to be welcome even if that format is designed to make a remain vote unlikely.Turning millions into thousands

Germany pretty certain to be there, other game close to a toss-up I'd say.
It'll probably be a decent quality match as both teams will be 'elite', but could turn into a bit of a dour struggle ending 1-0 to the Germans.
I'm guessing tickets are only €15 or so, so can't really go wrong.

What's the most profitable form of NL Hold 'em?
I've been playing for about a year now and I've found that the game I get the best returns from is a 9 or 10 seat NL SnG. Is this the same for everyone or is it a case of "Horses for Courses"?
I also play some cash games, but find that i have to play ultra-tight to make anything from it.

All the poker talk inspired me to spend the crumbs in my Stars account on a $5 satellite to the Big $55. Didn't realise that the tournament started immediately after and I couldn't bank the T$. Finished 9th at 2 am for $450. Pretty tired this morning! It was definitely easier to sit in the same seat for 7 hours straight 10 years ago.
