Monday, June 9, 2008 at 11:06 PM don't know if anyone here uses facebook much and/or plays the poker application they have *CALLING ALL NERDS* but i'm curious if anyone else has done/knows about this. they give you chips (like 500, maybe 1,000 i forget) when you add the application, and then will doll out more to you for like, sending "invitations" to your friends and such. the games are easy to crush if you play multiple tables at once (so you see several hands per minute) and play methodically. i have been selling the chips. for real money. to people in random middle-eastern countries (where apparently it is wildly popular.) i have completed three transactions so far. they wire me money (via western union). i go pick up the cash, email them, and we make a private table and i transfer them the agreed upon amount of chips. nothing to scoff at, etiher. i've cashed out $475 so far. it defies logic, being able to make money at a poker game you don't have to buy into. 
is anyone else here a hold 'em aficionado? —airking32 |

Edited Friday, June 13, 2008 at 6:51 AM Lefty. On Facebook. He just invites all his Facebook friends, so even though we don't live in Oregon and won't be attending, we get an invite anyway. —chix0r |

Friday, June 13, 2008 at 7:51 PM ugh! why did I create a profile on facebook. I found all my high school classmates and most of them already graduated from college..:( what's the difference between college '08 and alum? Some of them say '08 and some say alum, so does this mean that they thought hey would graduate in 2008 or they already did? —adams_babymomma |

Saturday, June 14, 2008 at 4:37 AM It could mean a. they already graduated or b. they will graduate in the summer or the fall. Alum means they probably graduated, but Facebook isn't terribly precise with that sort of thing. —chix0r |

Saturday, June 14, 2008 at 10:20 AM you can't even add layouts to your page. thats what makes facebook so much better than myspace. pages load faster and there is a cohesiveness that makes it all around cleaner to navigate. and actually, you CAN change the layout of you page. Just click and drag your apps to anywher eon the page. —whoisnumbaone |

Saturday, June 14, 2008 at 12:11 PM is anyone else here a hold 'em aficionado? —airking32 I suck at hold 'em, but I'm a great stud player and for awhile used to get my coffee money by playing online. I'm intrigued about what you're doing. Please explain more. —bguirk |

Saturday, June 14, 2008 at 1:30 PM thats what makes facebook so much better than myspace. Totally agree. It's more adult (assuming you don't put a bunch of crappy apps on your page. Also, I love that when somebody sends me a message or posts on my Facebook wall, the notification email that I get actually says what they said so I don't have to fuck around with logging in and checking it out there. That beats the shit out of MySpace's obnoxious "somebody sent you an email - log in to find out who it's from and what they said". —anobody |

Saturday, June 14, 2008 at 2:10 PM I suck at hold 'em, but I'm a great stud player and for awhile used to get my coffee money by playing online. I'm intrigued about what you're doing. Please explain more. don't know if facebook has a stud application. i played stud a lot as a kid, but discovered hold 'em after watching rounders (like a lot of people) and have gotten progressively more and more into it over the years. i dig all forms of poker (omaha is fun but requires a lot of thinking, stud is a classic game, triple-draw is fun, and i invented a couple other games we play sometimes), but i got a real thing for hold 'em. there's not really too much more to explain. i really can't believe there's a market for these "chips." i learned about being able to sell these chips from my friend ryan, who was amongst the first to reach the upper echelons of chip wealth (30,000,000+) and was able to unload almost all of them (to a single repeat client). he collected over $2,000. his facebook account was hacked recently, tho, and all his chips were stolen and so now he is "over it". also, the market is somewhat flooded and the price per million has been about cut in half from when he was in his selling hayday (back in jan/feb of this year). —airking32 |

Edited Saturday, June 14, 2008 at 2:18 PM *edit* I can't believe there's a market for them either (seems pointless and retarded to me; guess that's the reason for the old saying about a fool and his money) The thing I like about hold 'em is that it's easy enough that you can bring a newb up to speed with one fake hand, and chance plays enough of a roll that the experts don't have *that* much of an advantage (as opposed to other games where if you don't know what you're doing, you'll end up busted in no time). —anobody |
