Ipoker is fantastic.

Sit at a HU table vs a guy with 450bbs.

Take 200 off him, and then he sits out, and says "not playing you anymore"

I say "gg", log out, log into another client, boot up the table, and take the remaining 250bbs off him.

[Maloney]

played a 99 man turbo thing for 1 dollar earlier, won step 1 ticket, ive won 2 of these steps in a row since to now give me a step 3 ticket.

can these tickets be used for anything other than the s&g steps? ie. can they be cashed out or used as tournament buy ins?

can be used for sit and go's and tournament's of same value

[BrianByrne]

can be used for sit and go's and tournament's of same value

would you say its better to keep trying to move up the ranks? 4-5 etc, or to play in a $26 s&G or Mtt? Gonna keep going

Also up to now i been playing the regular speed 9 man ones, beating level one and two.

is this the best route to go? i see most people going for the ST 300 chips

This is huge news, it could be 12 months before you see Tiger back to his best again. I've thought he didn't look focused enough and too kinda happy go lucky on the golf course since his return. Harmon mentioned that the other day and its in this article. Being without a coach now and having other stuff more important to him outside of golf means its going to be a long time before we see the mean streak again. I really do hope he gets it back sooner rather than later and gets back chasing that major record.

Hank Haney announced Monday night on his website that he is resigning as Tiger Woods' coach, just hours after Woods said he and Haney were still working on the swing that has been ineffective in Tiger's three PGA TOUR starts this season.

In a short statement released Tuesday, Woods confirmed the split and thanked Haney.

"Hank Haney and I have agreed that he will no longer be my coach," Woods said on his website. "Hank is an outstanding teacher and has been a great help to me, but equally importantly he is a friend. That will not change. I would like to thank him for all he has done for me the past six years."

In Haney's statement, he expressed appreciation and gratitude for the time the two had spent working together.

"I have informed Tiger Woods this evening that I will no longer be his coach," Haney said in his statement on hankhaney.com. "I would like to thank Tiger for the opportunity that I have had to work with him over the past 6-plus years. Tiger Woods has done the work to achieve a level of greatness that I believe the game of golf has never seen before and I will always appreciate the opportunity that I have had to contribute to his successes."

"I have also enjoyed the association that I have had with Tiger both on and off the golf course as I have had some incredible experiences. In coaching and teaching Tiger I have also learned a lot, not only about golf, but about people and life in general. It has been a great learning experience and along the way Tiger has elevated me in my own profession to a level that I never thought I would achieve before I had the opportunity to work with him.

"In many ways because of all of the time that I have spent with Tiger, I may have learned more from him than he has ever learned from me. So I believe at this time that it is in both of our best interests for me to step aside as Tiger's coach."

Since returning to golf last month at the Masters, Woods had denied rumors of a possible split with Haney, who he worked with since 2004 and won six majors with as his coach. Woods said on multiple occasions that he and Haney "continue to work together" and that they "talk every day."

At THE PLAYERS Championship, Woods talked about his return to golf being a process.

"You don't turn this thing around overnight and then just go out there and play great golf," Woods said. "It takes time to get into the rhythm of competing and it takes tournaments. And I haven't had a lot of tournaments under my belt."

When asked about rumors of a possible split with Haney, Woods said at the time, "Hank and I talk every day, so nothing's changed. According to the press, I've fired him five times by now."

In fact, Tiger mentioned working with Haney even as late as Monday afternoon at his news conference to support the AT&T Classic.

"I talked to Hank about some of the stuff. We're still working on it," Woods said one day after withdrawing while playing the seventh hole in the final round of THE PLAYERS Championship because of a neck injury. "We have a lot of work to do. I can't make the movements that I made before because of the neck. I need to get healthy to play the proper way."

Prior to 2004, Woods was under the guidance of Butch Harmon, who he won eight major championships with as his coach. However, Harmon said last week in a radio interview with the PGA TOUR Network that Woods' game is "in disarray."

"Anybody that plays golf can look out there and see that he's not Tiger Woods, but until he gets his head on straight, and he gets things in his mind settled, with some professional help I would add, I think it's going to be a while before we see the old Tiger Woods," Harmon said. "He will figure out the mechanical part of it, the physical part of it. It's the mental part of it. I think that's hurting him.

"I think if I was still on [Woods'] team, I would advise him really not to play much this year, maybe just play in the majors. Get some professional help, try and get your head back on straight, try to get some semblance of a normal life. That's going to be hard for him to get, for everything that's happened."

NBC's Johnny Miller was even more critical, saying that Woods should think about returning to his old coach.

"This might be a little harsh, but I really believe [Woods] needs to, every night, watch the U.S. Open in the year 2000 in Pebble and just copy that swing and forget the [Hank] Haney stuff," Miller said during NBC's broadcast of THE PLAYERS Championship. "That was the best golf anybody has every played in history."

Woods won the U.S. Open that year by a record 15 strokes.

Haney took exception to the statement by Miller, saying that in the last 2½ years, Woods won 44 percent of his tournaments and finished in the top three 61 percent of the time and that in the 2½ years before he started working with Woods, he won 24 percent of the time and finished in the top three 43 percent of the time.

In his statement Monday night, Haney made a point of saying that it was his choice to leave Woods' team.

"Just so there is no confusion, I would like to make it clear that this is my decision," he noted in his statement. "Tiger and I will always be friends but I believe there is a time and place for everything and I feel at this time and at this place in my life I want to move forward in other areas."

Haney said he will leave Tiger with only the fondest memories.

"I will always look back upon our past half dozen years together as my best days in professional golf," he said in his statement. "It would be a dream of any coach to have a student like Tiger Woods and for me it was a dream come true. ...

"Tiger has been just an incredible performer in golf and he has achieved great success throughout his career. First with his father Earl, and then with Butch Harmon as his coach, followed by me, I know Tiger Woods will be successful in the future no matter who helps him. He is an incredible athlete with an incredible work ethic. As we all know, Tiger has been through a lot in the last six months, and I really believe that given the chance, mind free and injury free, we will all see Tiger Woods play once again like we all know he can.

"I wish Tiger well, not only with his golf, but in finding peace and happiness in all aspects of his life. Tiger knows that if he ever needs me in anyway, whether it be with his golf or just as a friend he can always call. I will always, as I have been in the past, be there for him. From a personal standpoint, I look forward to being able to make many more contributions to the great game of golf in the days and years ahead."

Cliff notes on my head shop beliefs

Make it over 18s only.
Make the shops only be allowed open certain times (off license hours are fine).
Packaging must contain proper usage and dosage instructions.
Anything to be sold must be tested and authorised by the state before being allowed on the market.

Essentially, Head Shops must operate as if they were chemists.

I think I see the fatal flaw in your cunning plan

Super show, altho from episode to episode i either think Steve Zahns character is deadly or shit...

The violinist - hot or not?

Super hot imo and I dunno what to make of Zahns character yet, his song was decent so he saved himself but he can get annoying.

[rounders123]

Super hot imo and I dunno what to make of Zahns character yet, his song was decent so he saved himself but he can get annoying.

Zahn's a great charachter i think, he's just a zany selfish fool and ever since his stint as the hotel concierge hes golden. Although i cringed at the bit during the street dance festival when his bird or sorts came over and said "Youll never guessed what hapenned at the restaurent last nite?" and he just cut her off and went into something of his own before diving away. Ah that kills me.
It was a deer hunter style pre-amble the last episode. Its not meant to get going as such, there are some charachters and plots that dont seem to be unravelling much so id say its one of those series that the second season could be better for knowing eyeryone better. I really dont care about the plot on your ones missing brother, i think that plot is a bit of a waste of time. In general i really like the show.

It is beyond me how Nicholas Cage finds, yet is offered work...the mind boggles.

eh have you not seen Kick Ass? super performance IMO

Xbox im finished with it for awhile, playing a match and im 3-0 up and he quits in like the 30th minute i will play one more match and call it quits hour and a half later i finally get the win and can call it a night! Bit of a disaster

do you still get awarded the win if someone quits?

As for the movie, i was expecting a kind of super troopers type flic,(i did not know anything of the story, just assumed) and was a bit dissapointed in was not slapstick, i did not realise it was a semi serious comic book flic.

As for Cage, I just cant stand him, I tend to avoid anything he is in tbh.

I think if they quit before like the 20th minute nothing happens but if they quit after it goes down as a 3-0 loss to them.

ul, wp, lol saw that guy berate you the chat box for going all in with kq and cracking his a9, i think he thought he was phil ivey or something, hes berate went on for ever

that was mega lol
i think he expected me to throw it away at that stage and me with 14bbs
i was actually hoping he might have folded

some other guy came on to the table after that and he got stuck into him as well for calling his allin earlier at a different table

ironically enough he was the guy that busted me in the finish

Ship the 3 free iphone 3gs's!

Our mobile contract with 3 is up in a few weeks, so I rang them up on Friday to see what they could offer. I played as unhappy, saying the coverage is terrible (it's not as good as Vodafone, but it's grand) and the customer service is hopeless, and that I was planning to go back to Vodafone unless he can offer me some super deal.

So I got a phone call today; 3 free iphone 3gs 16GBs (each sell for c€600 on ebay, they are factory unlocked) and a 15% discount.

Our contract isn't even that big

Meh FWIW I thought Cage did a good job taking the p!ss out of adam west - thats not to say he isnt tilting in other films.

I loved Kick ass it really is in a genre of its own. while being hilariously funny it also touches on more serious topics which I also liked. Id go as far as to say its in my top 20 films...

There is a 24+2 45 man SNG you can play instead of going for a step 4 ticket.

There is also a 90 man knockout you should be able to play with the step 3 ticket.

Allways surprises me that peop;e complain about higher % reg on micro buyin games yet no one tends to complain about paying the same % reg for a 500 game as a 200 one.

The set costs dont decrease just because the buyin decreases, I know nothing about the voodoo game in question but if its a dealer dealt game then a tenner reg is fair enough imo.
