GOOD POST...................whos on the Bud now

[eejit101]

Bonjour Wizeguy. A aimé le poteau. Il est évident que vous avez une petite hantise avec le lapin Bon pour avoir finalement de vous signaler, et de la chance en cette concurrence.

[Talking Poker]

(This will be ugly, but no translation help used, so cut me some slack)

Je parle (ecrit?) un tres, tres, tres peux Francais. Merci pour la poste, WizeGuy! Et merci pour la photo sexy de bunny. hawh-hawh-HUH! (Mon laugh francais)

Wow... mon francais est merde, eh?

Aurevoir!

[eejit101]

Tranlates as....




I speak one very, very, very can French. Thank you for the post office, WizeGuy! And thank you for the sexy photograph for bunny. hawh-hawh-HUH! (My French laugh) Is Wow... my French shit, eh? Bye!

[Spuddy]

Jtown sounds like the man........


Plus, I love his Phil Gordon "Dont tap the aquarium" reference!


Welcome to the forums Jtown!

[Talking Poker]

Oh come on... it wasn't quite that bad. I mean, "Is Wow?"

[Talking Poker]

BTW.... those with 0 posts who have visited the forum today include:
thecardmasta

And that's it. There are a few people with less than 5 posts.... I'm not saying that they are or are not eligible to win (leaning towards not), but it certainly wouldn't hurt if they decided to formally introduce themselves anyway!

[bunny]

LOL. Not quite. You must have used a translator.

His french isn't all that bad. You have to remember, Quebecers are used to slang words, so we'd understand "poste" in the context it is written and not in the meaning of the word itself.

If a Quebecer, such as myself, translates this; you'd get: I speak (write) a very very very little French. And thankyou for the photo sexy of bunny. Hawh-hawh-hawh-HUH! (My laugh francais)

Wow...my french is shit, eh?

Goodbye. (Salut = bye)


First off, we don't have a stupid French laugh, we're not honky tonk people.
We say, "eh" or "ay" a lot. I mean "a lot". We end it at every (verbal) sentence whether it needs to be there or not. Form of habit.

LOL = RTF (rire tres fort)

[eejit101]

No, as im european, i used the literal french homeland translation

[Talking Poker]

I was going for the France french, but bunny's Quyebec translation is closer to what I intended. I think eejit just did a sucky job of translating. That's what I think.

And I remembered the word for "write" - Sweet!

As for the laugh, you know that old stereotype... from about 1000 movies and tv shows. It's not a literal sound - it's the "I am so much better than you" kind of laugh. It's a bitch to spell though.

[bunny]

Hope you're joking. He's 85% French, so to see him even write this much, is impressive.

I'm not happy with him, posting my picture up, though. But knowing how he is, (like his namesake) my own fault for alerting him to this contest. Expect the unexpectable from him.

Lesson learned.

edit: 85% French speaking.

[eejit101]

How can you be 85% french. When he was born, was the hospital an eight in the english sector? And when he popped out, his body from the knees down was in the english sector too??

[Shadowknife]

Bah, I suppose for $20 I can give up my lurkerness (new word?).

I've been wanted to get into playing some online poker for a while now. I play the occasional home game here and there, but nothing serious. However, I do have an obsessive-compulsive personality, and usually spend more time reading and studying anything I do moreso than actually doing it (hence my lurking here for so long). Perhaps I need a little kickstart to get playing *nudge nudge*.

While I'm certainly not a 'great' player, I can pretty much count on cleaning up on anyone who's bad, new, drunk, high, or just not taking the game seriously. I bring my chips to any weekend party trip to the cottage, and have my beer paid for by the end. I'm patient, understand the basic strategies, and can pick up on the typical 'newbie' tells. Against anyone who really knows what they're doing though... I'd have to rely more on a good run of luck.

Something I've wanted to do for a while is learn how to play some limit hold-em, well enough to hopefully break even with some low-level online play. I was bored one day, and bought Helmuth's book, but wasn't all that impressed with it. If someone could recommend a good book, it'd be much appreciated.

Cheers,

~Chris

Edit: Awwe, why no animated avatars? I can't frequent a forum without my favourite! :P

[jimmym]

Nice post man,

I have a strange feeling we will hear more from you and your poker journeys, I reacon you will overtake me for posts within 2 months. wellcome and GL.

[eejit101]

I really like this post, and where you say against anyone whose good, you rely on luck. Your basically suited to play any limit on party poker online, up to $1000NL, as they are all rubbish.

[Talking Poker]

I'd say "Welcome to the forum!" but seeing as how you've been here for A YEAR AND A HALF (without making a single post), that seems a little silly. Wow.... You joined this site on the 3rd full day that it was "live" - that's before nearly all of today's regulars. Crazy.

Anyway, now that you've popped your cherry, I hope to hear from you a lot more.

As for your two questions:

1. Books - Do a search of the forum for detailed recommendations, but for low limit hold em, Small Stakes Hold'Em (Miller/Sklansky) is hands down the best. Lee Jone's Winning Low Limit Hold'Em is good too.

2. You are allowed to have an animated avatar.... once you get to 1000 posts. So, let's see... at your current pace, that should be approximately... carry the one.... yeah, right around the year 3504. Give or take.

[eejit101]

Lmao at number 2.

Good luck reaching that age.

And i didnt know Lee Jones wrote a book. Is the the poker stars lee jones, or someone else

[bunny]

If you're only allowed animated avatars at 1000 posts, how is it possibly jim as one at 300?

[Shadowknife]

Yup, I remember someone, from another forum, posting about this "great new poker forum giving away money for posting!". What was it? 50 posts? Guess I was a little slow in starting . I guess I'll have to step it up if I want my favourite animated avatar... this post will be a step in that direction :P.

Thanks for the book recommendations, I'll check em out.

~Chris

I

GOING


TO


KILL


YOU



ALEXANDRE!


Print it!

edit: Okay, Killing him is a bit much. I won't hurt him, on condition he removes the picture from here and retracts his lie, of me offering him a date in exchange for the Party favor. Which never happened.

La dernière fois que j'te demande de me faire une faveur, Alex. Menteur.


TalkingPoker - I think WizeGuy should be disqualified and I think you should consider adding "verysolvent" to this list. He's only had 5 posts but ever since I asked him to come, he's at least participated and posted. That's deserving of something, don't you think?

[eejit101]

If you wear something nice hell probably let you

[Talking Poker]

Maybe, but not this contest. This one is for the true lurkers. And so far so good! (Meaning, it's working, at least a little bit)

P.S. I like that you wrote "Print it."

[WizeGuy]

Calme toi ce n'est pas la fin du monde sophie. est-ce que j'ai gagné quelque chose ici ? où sont mes 20.$



Sophie jj'ai entendu que ta mère est malade est-elle mieux maintenant?
