Looking to watch the full superbowl if anybody has a good link.

1st quarter here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pve9rWsAh-Q

SPOILER

oneDDL has it to dl in 720p too.

[Icarus152]

Apparently its from backstage casting couch or something.

I had a quick google, but couldn't find the freebies

[Zod]

guys, we all know that we all recognised it.

The true connesseur will tell you that that's the new couch.

What's the story with playing 2 ipoker skins? Do I have to download something?

I've tried sandboxie a few times, but it just doesn't work on my laptop for some reason so i've never been able to do it. I need to try again tho, because i could really do with it. Let's know if you find a direct download link that works and i'll follow.

How does anyone play 10 tables + ? struggling with 9, can barely read HUD. Not using table ninja, dont have a clue how to use. Presume its the only way of playing more?.

Table Ninja is pretty easy to setup even if you only want to use it for the basics which is what i do. It's all for MTTs but you can set up different parameters for cash

Bring action table to the foreground
Put a colour frame about the table requiring action/attention
Automatically insert 2.12 BB into the bet box plus .9 per limper
Automatically set up default % pot bet on flop/turn/river
Automatically click Time Bank/'I'm Back'

There's a few other things i use aswel, but even if you have it for the above it's worth it.

I don't use hotkeys becasue i've had a few accidents when typing and i use a hotkey by accident and end up donking my stack or setting it up to automatically rebuy and ended up doing about $300 without realising. You can disable hotkeys so use obscure keys for that option.

I was told of this by some here before but always put off doing it because i thought it would be too awkward. Last week i installed it. It really is one of the simplest programs ever....takes about 10secs to download, and even less time to use. Well worth the effortless effort!!

[Flushdraw]

sandboxie i am told

edit...

too slow me

Have played with you a couple of times lately in the $1500 hi/lo game on ipoker, and let's just say you have an unusual style. Was at your table last night and you dumped off the chip lead 2 tables out to bust before the money with Q883 and the like? Madness imo

[oleras]

I liked the ending of Battlestar, if just a tad confused and a few questions that need answering, time to do some reading and hunt out the specials.

Ah yes, nothing like a couple of safes to protect your donations, still don't understand this Buddhism thing. The lads beside where sitting there getting given gifts constantly.



No comment needed, money is going somewhere anyway.



Turtle power, was looking up and almost stepped on him. Pretty random thing to stumble across



Mountain climb ahead, 1200+ steps, didn't think it would be too difficult



Half-way there and close to death, fuck you cig's.



Top to be greeted with loads of these feckers, brave little bastards to boot.



No wonder they are so hyper...

is that a rat next to the turtle?

[Wombatman]

Liverpool fans, known for their humor, serenaded the tabby cat on the night with the chant -A cat, a cat...a cat, a cat, a cat- to the tune of the Kop battle cry -Attack..Attack-

..

[Zod]

By the looks of the cat it had had an operation recently (shaved patch on it's leg).

Obviously it didn't come off the Liverpool treatment table.

I'm always shocked that the bolded one in particular is allowed by Stars.
Betsizing should be something that players have to work out for themselves imo.

Often wonder if I'm the last remaining player who 5/6 tables without ever having used HEMs, HUDs, ninjas or any of that malarkey.

@Rasta

Yup, he was nibbling away for 5-10 mins but didn't do much damage. When I came back Turtle was gone and rat still there.

How does anyone play 10 tables + ? struggling with 9, can barely read HUD. Not using table ninja, dont have a clue how to use. Presume its the only way of playing more?.

table ninja is the nutz

auto reg if you are playing sng's
keeps so many tables open at once
set amt of games you want to play in a session

eg: you want to play 20,30,etc sng's but only want to play 4,6,8,12, etc tables at a time, table ninja organises this for you.

set different bet sizes for preflop,flop,turn,river it auto fills the bet box so you just click bet. + hotkey for allin

opens and closes lobbies automatically,

auto closes tournies when you get knocked out,

brings table that requires action first/with least time left to act to the front,

auto jumps mouse to table that requires action,

hotkeys to switch between stacking, cascading or tiling.

there is a shitload more on it but this is what i mainly use it for.
can't imagine multitabling without it.

After about 2 years without any additional software (had Poker Tracker back in the day) I decided to start using HoldemManager 2 in mid-December - cue a $4,000+ upswing in the last 6 weeks! Obviously the software is only a part of the reason for any success - identifying the games in which I should be playing has been more important, as is boring old study - but I definitely feel that HM2 was worth the outlay, the HUD is just so useful when multi-tabling. I don't play more than 5 tables at a time but will have to look into Table Ninja anyway.

Dear God I want this house.

Sweet gaff!

I've always said that if I won the Euromillions (would have to play it first to be in with a chance, but ignoring that!) my list of property targets would initially be:

• House in Dublin
• House in Galway
• Apartment in London
• Big House on Lake Tahoe, near to one of the main ski resorts
• Small House in Laguna Beach

The Tahoe would be the most expensive I'm sure, the lake is just ringed with awesome houses with amazing views - defo one of my favourite spots on Earth, it is the place to be in both summer and winter! The Corleone's lakeside house in the Godfather Part II is in Tahoe. What would be cool is, as in the house you linked to, hire a top-dog architect from San Francisco or whatever to come up and design a really avant-garde modern mansion... hmm, might need that lottery win to be on the upper end of the Euromillions scale, lets say €150m+ to be safe*

*This reminds me of seeing an interview with Cindy Crawford back in the day, right at the peak of her career, saying she was uneasy about her financial security and that she didn't have 'fuck-off' money - enough dough that she could live the rest of her life doing what she wants without being beholden to anyone. Obviously the few million she had at the time wasn't enough, she claimed she needed $50m at least. Makes perfect sense in the context that she meant; $50m is enough to buy multiple gaffs for cash, first class flights everywhere, yachts, expensive toys, all for the rest of your life without worrying about the money running out. And you'd still feel very poor when compared to those with $500m+ - you never be able to buy a super-yacht (or even run it for any length of time), keep multiple private jets waiting on the runway for you, or buy a truly palatial mansion! Do 'ordinary' billionaires feel poor when sitting beside Bill Gates and Warren Buffett?

You're just giving up too much edge by not using anything. I don't use Table Ninja much anymore because i don't mass multi-table on Stars much anymore, and i'm usually playing Omaha or Hi/Lo when i do and so i don't use preset betting. I use to use it much more when i was playing STTs. If you're playing 12+ tables, it's extremely useful for letting you know when action is required, and then putting the cursor right into the bet box. It also prevents other tables from popping in front when you're entering a bet so misclicks are far less common

For you (if you're still playing 5/6 STTs in a set) then Tournament Shark would be really useful. You can set it to show whichever stats you want on the screen, or have none at all and just use them in a drop down menu. You don't need HEM a lot of the time for STTs because the info can be very misleading because you don't know if the majority of your stats are from 6 handed or 3 handed so VPIP/PFR will differ greatly, but having a stat showing Games Played/Average Buyin/Profit or Loss is of greater value.

It automatically pops up on any table you open, so if i'm Abys for instance, i'm overjoyed having all the winning players on my right and 4 big fish on my left despite not having any hands on any of them.



Speaking of multi-tabling, this is just ridiculous!

[DeadParrot]

Bit of an odd question, but does anyone know how you can spoof your wireless mac address (not physical one) in Windows 7? Apparently it was pretty damn easy in XP, but has been disabled in Windows 7. Tried using a piece of software called SMAC 2.0 but it doesn't let you do it on an evaluation copy, which is pretty pointless.

Yeah it's a bit of a pain,
long story short, get the original driver and go from there

Ok question for the BBV

I have found a 4 bedroom house relatively close to the city centre that is just about to go up for auction. The reserve is set absurdly low but even if the house goes for 3x the reserve and considering a 20 year mortgage the repayments would be cheaper than most rent repayments and this would be further helped if I decided to have housemates etc.

why should I not buy this house?

Because its in Dublin, which is a hellhole.

Bored at work and went reading over some old threads on Boards... anyone familiar with turbobaby's threads over there? Just scrolled through one where he had an ante-post bet on Championship football in the 09-10 season turning €180 into €25k. He seems to have done one both years since so going to have a look now.

Had a skim through them all. He came seriously close one year to ~30k if Long were to finish top scorer ahead of Graham as the rest of the accum was already settled. Long was 4 behind with 8 games to go (or something like that) and could be layed at 1/4 or so but he didn't have the cash to do so or the will really. He likes letting the bets ride and comes across very relaxed and sensible. All of the threads are good reads imo.
