• Atlantic Broadband Garde Cinema Series: "Dolemite Is My Name", January 25 Stung by a string of showbiz failures, floundering comedian Rudy Ray Moore (Eddie Murphy) has an epiphany that turns him into a word-of-mouth sensation: step onstage as someone else. Borrowing from the street mythology of 1970s Los Angeles, Moore assumes the persona of Dolemite, a pimp with a cane and an arsenal of obscene fables. However, his ambitions exceed selling bootleg records deemed too racy for mainstream radio stations to play. Moore convinces a social justice-minded dramatist (Keegan-Michael Key) to write his alter ego a film, incorporating kung fu, car chases, and Lady Reed (Da’Vine Joy Randolph), an ex-backup singer who becomes his unexpected comedic foil. Despite clashing with his pretentious director, D’Urville Martin (Wesley Snipes), and countless production hurdles at their studio in the dilapidated Dunbar Hotel, Moore’s Dolemite becomes a runaway box office smash and a defining movie of the Blaxploitation era. Rated R.

• Brantley Gilbert: Fire't Up Tour, January 25 Each ticket purchase includes Brantley's newest album, Fire & Brimstone. Brantley Gilbert lives in Jefferson, Georgia rather than, like so many country stars, Nashville. It’s not that he’s not serious about his music, or his career, but somethings run deeper. Or, as he sings in “Grown Ass Man” from his platinum Just As I Am, “I got a home.” That home is rich with life, truth, friends, history – and those are the raw materials that have made Gilbert one of only four country artists with back-to-back platinum certified albums. For Gilbert, who won the 2014 American Music Award for Favorite Country Album for Just As I Am, every album is another chapter in the life the unrepentant good ole boy has led. Whether it’s raising hell, standing tall or bottoming out, Gilbert’s truth speaks to the heart of blue collar life in the 21st century: hard working, fun loving and deeply committed to the people he loves. 8pm, $73.50-$108.50.

So now my apartment had been robbed for the 2nd time within a few months, I had a regular gig dealing 2 nights a week at Andy's game outside of Chinatown, and I was playing 3 or 4 nights a week at Moon's game in Back Bay. Moon and I had gotten to be pretty close friends, I tended to hang out until the game broke and then we'd go out and grab breakfast after. He was a really interesting guy, and super smart, but with really strange ways of looking at things. I was told later that his mom had killed herself after some huge gambling losses, so maybe that explains some of his erratic thoughts.
I liked the rhythm I was in, I was making great money and enjoying myself a decent amount, but I realized some people at Moon's game were a little annoyed with my style. As I mentioned in part 1, I was known for hitting and running games. If I made a certain amount for the night, I'd usually stop playing and just hang out talking with Moon or other people who were waiting to get in the game. Moon had some game system in the side room with a big screen TV, so I'd mess around on there, smoke with Moon, etc.
I decided maybe people wouldn't be so pissed about that if I wasn't there so often, so I started diversifying my games a bit. Ron had connections all over, so one day he took me over to a game in South Boston. For those who haven't seen movies like The Departed, Southie is known for a huge Irish population. The game in question was held at a VFW and was run by the Irish mob. Now if you haven't played in underground games you might be thinking to yourself, if you can play in games like Moon's game where the guy running it is just some goofy libertarian conspiracy nut stoner, why would you play with dangerous people like the Irish mob?
The answer is that the mob game was the safest in town, even safer than Andy's game. No Boston cop is going into Southie to bust up an Irish mob game. No one is stupid enough to try to rob an Irish mob game. It really was a good place to play. It wasn't as plush as some of the other places since it was inside a VFW, but the mob guys were as friendly as can be, we were their customers! There's nothing quite like some mob lackey coming over and asking if you want them to make you another sandwich or bring you another beer. It was a bit surreal.
My favorite character from the VFW game was this short Irish guy whose name I can't remember. He talked CONSTANTLY, nervous little chatter, always complaining about "flop lag" (that his cards from the previous hand would have been good on the current flop) or commenting about how he'd have made a big hand if he'd have called preflop. He was a really good poker player, very astute. He'd constantly come up with great reads on players and make impressive calls. I once asked why he didn't play at Foxwoods which was the closest casino to Boston at the time so that he could play bigger games. It turns out that on top of being a great poker player, the guy was also a compulsive thief. He was banned from casinos and games far and wide for stealing chips off of people's stacks while they were in the bathroom, or just had their backs turned. Imagine having the skill to win hundreds of thousands of dollars a year playing poker, and being relegated to a $1/3 game because you can't help but steal $5 from your neighbor's stack while he's pissing. The guy was insane.
Speaking of Foxwoods, one night Moon's game was breaking early for some reason and a guy asked if I wanted to go with him to Foxwoods. I was hesitant, because it's a 21 year old casino, but he insisted that they never card people if you go in through the poker room entrance. I decided to give it a shot, and it turned out he was right, I never got carded coming in that way. I found that the $2/5 game there was a nitfest, but the $5/10 $2k max buyin game was full of maniacs and drunks on the weekend. I had found a new place to diversify my play.
It turned out that Ron and his friend who was solid too would go to Foxwoods pretty often, so we started going there every couple of weeks. I'd go out there alone sometimes as well, the action was just insane. One Friday I bought in for $1k on the $5/10 game and had the session of a lifetime. This drunk guy kept buying in for $2k, running it up to $5k by sucking out on people and playing like a maniac, and then would dump it to me. I ended up playing for 36 hours straight at the table, from 8pm Friday night until 8am Sunday morning (obviously with some bathroom and food breaks, but mostly eating at the table). I left with a bit over $21k.
I actually never played legally at Foxwoods, I only went there when I was underage. It was only an issue a couple of times. To get to the food areas besides the poker cafe, you had to walk out the casino exit. Usually after eating if I walked in like I was supposed to be there, they wouldn't question me. Once a security guard ID'd me and I turned around and walked away, then went outside and back through the poker entrance.
The major issue came one time when I was gone for more than 40 minutes and they picked up my stack. They acknowledged that it was my stack, but said I had to show ID to confirm it for some reason. I ended up bullshitting my way out of it by saying I had left my ID in Boston, and I didn't think it was reasonable for them to ask me to drive 2 hours each way to get my $3k back. In the end a few dealers spoke up and said I was there multiple times a month, and my logic that if I was under 21 they'd be in so much trouble with the gaming commission convinced them to give the chips back and make me go home until I brought my ID. Of course I was back the next week without ID as usual and never had any issue again.
I started getting more into online poker around this time as well. Back in high school I had played online some, and my first big bink came online as I talked about in Part 1 of this story, but between leaving Boston in 2006 and early 2008 where we are at in the story now, I had barely played online, instead focusing on live. I deposited $600 on Full Tilt and played a few tables of 200nl. I was playing like a total maniac, so far from my normal style live, but I was crushing it! I lost the first 2 $600 deposits, but the 3rd one I ran up to $18k, rising in stakes to $400nl and 600nl. I was turning 21 in May, so my dream was to win a seat into the WSOP Main and be the youngest ever to win. One day in March or April, both Stars and Full Tilt were having crazy satellites to the Main, I believe the FTP one paid like 250 seats and the Stars paid 100 seats, both with buyins of like $600. I bombed out of the Stars tourney, but made a deep run on Full Tilt. It was down to 10 people until the bubble, so everyone was just folding until forced all in pretty much. I was down to about 4bb and picked up AQs, and knowing I couldn't just fold my way in I shoved from the cutoff. The button was sitting on about 7bbs and most likely could have folded his way in, but for some reason he called over half his stack with A6o and nailed the 6 right on the flop, crushing my dreams.
I cashed out $12k and left $5k to play with, but ended up donking that off playing $1000nl against actual good players and running into big hands. I decided to put e-checks on my account so I didn't have the $600 max daily deposit that the other options gave. Instead I could now deposit $2500/day if I wanted to, and I lost $2500 the first day, then won $3000 the 2nd day and decided I was playing too gambly and cashed out the $5500 I had on there. Once again I had cooled on online poker and was grinding live, and mostly forgot about my Full Tilt account for the time being.
It was now late April, our lease was up at the end of May, and I decided I would move out to Las Vegas for the summer and grind cash at the WSOP. I said my goodbyes to everyone in the scene, I had no plans to move back to Boston. I had some good times there, but overall I was ready for a change of scenery. I had around $150k at this point, I had made a ton of money over the past year, but also spent tens of thousands on bullshit, and gambled away a ton in the pits at Foxwoods and Turning Stone. Back before I moved to Israel in 2006, I had decided to open up a Charles Schwab account to put my money in and invest it. I kept most of my money in the market, making some aggressive plays and investing on margins, but doing well as the market rose. In 2008 the market started doing poorly, but I was making enough in poker to make up for it, and I made some profitable moves shorting airline stocks. I left Boston for Vegas feeling pretty good and wondering where life would go next.
When I arrived in Vegas, I looked at my Schwab account which was the account I had connected to FTP for e-checks. There were 5 deposits for $2500 each, one each day for the 5 days I had been driving from Boston to Vegas. I was confused as I hadn't deposited for over a month at this point. I called FTP support and the person on the line would only tell me that the IP address I had deposited from was the same I had deposited from the month before, but a different computer was used. Still a bit confused, but with a suspicion of what may have happened, I called Rich. Before I could even really ask, Rich made some comment about how his laptop had been stolen the past week from his girlfriend's apartment. I then called FTP support back and said I believed the transactions had been fraudulent. I asked if since they could tell which computer had logged in with my account, could they also tell me if other accounts had ever logged in from that computer. They told me they weren't supposed to, but they basically confirmed that the laptop that logged in and made the deposits on my account was the laptop regularly used to log in on Rich's account. They also confirmed yet again that the deposits were made from the same IP we both regularly logged in from. For Rich's story to be believable, someone had stolen his laptop from his girlfriend's place miles away, taken it to our apartment and logged in from there. I finally realized what a lying piece of shit Rich was, and some things he had done in the past clicked for me. I realized the 2nd burglary of our apartment was completely fabricated, he had taken my PS3, PSP, games and DVDs and probably pawned them all.
I called the number on the back of my Schwab debit card and told them the transactions were fraudulent. They required me to get a police report, so I had a fun few hours with LVPD explaining that my roommate in Boston had stolen money from me through my online poker account while I was driving. I sent the police report over, and about a month later Visa refunded my $12,500. They said they would do an investigation into Rich, but never gave me any updates about what happened. I brought this story up on this forum once before and someone who knew Rich growing up responded, and they think he was never arrested for it, so I guess he got away with the scam and Visa ate the $12,500 loss. The person from /poker did say they think they last heard he was homeless in San Francisco, so that's a bit of justice I suppose.
I could continue this story, but it would no longer be about Boston underground poker, it would be about Vegas live poker.

Last year, I made an 800 hour post when I hit 800 hours at live low stakes 1/2 - 2/3 NLHE.
https://www.reddit.com/pokecomments/6xyfys/800_hours_at_12_live_nlhe/
Yesterday, I finally passed the 800 hour mark in live PLO and wanted to post the results here as there are a lot of NLHE graphs but I almost never see PLO results (especially live). I live in Vegas but these results include several sessions from Atlantic city, Seneca Niagara casino, Foxwoods, and other random east coast casinos sprinkled in.

-Stakes are 1/2/5 -2/5/10 and 2-3 short sessions of 5/10/20

This year students were invited to reflect on what it means to truly be seen and to see others. Over 80 students submitted original pieces for consideration. A small group was selected to perform as part of the festival.
  
• Matt & Kim: Friday, April 27, College Street Music Hall, 238 College St, New Haven, 7:00PM, $25-30, - Matt and Kim, the duo known for infectious, beat-driven anthems and explosive live shows, are back with their sixth studio album ALMOST EVERYDAY, due out this spring on FADER Label. Work on the new music began soon after Kim suffered a torn ACL while performing on stage at Mexico’s Vaiven Festival in 2017. The year-long break from touring allowed Matt and Kim the time to focus on songwriting and complete this album, which is one of the band’s most personal releases to date.

I own stock in Atari, therefore I try to follow their projects.
They have offices in the U.S. but are based out of France, so most of the chatter online I have to run through Google translate.
I have noticed a trend in their projects which ties together nicely- speculative at this point yes, but the entire market is speculative really (invest in a company hoping they will profit, grow, expand, etc).
So here is what I have so far- lets discuss possibilities.

1- Atari is already involved in real money gambling, both online and in casinos. One of their partners is Pariplay. Reference- http://www.pariplayltd.com/legend-lives-pariplay-atari-launch-atari-pong-online-slot/ "Pong is the latest video arcade classic from Atari® to be honoured with an action-packed online slot, featuring non-stop excitement and plenty of big win potential. Pariplay’s previous Atari®-branded releases include Asteroids®, Star Raiders® and Black Widow®."

2- Pariplay just signed a deal with Foxwoods casino. Reference- https://www.reviewed-casinos.com/news/pariplay-foxwoods-igaming-platform-tie/ "Gaming tech firm Pariplay has partnered Foxwoods Resort Casino in what it considers a landmark technology agreement.

... enabling guests at North America's largest resort casino to enjoy digital gaming on-property
... provide guests access to a myriad of digital games, including branded titles Atari Pong, X-O Manowar and Atari Asteroids via a Foxwoods-branded mobile application and web portal.

3- Atari just released this- (again google translated)

"Paris, France - February 8, 2018. The Atari Group announces two major development projects in the field of blockchains and crypto-currencies, with a shareholding in a crypto-platform and the creation of a dedicated Token ("Atari Token"), and on the other hand the upcoming launch of casino platforms offering crypto-currency game options.
Acquisition of a stake in Infinity Networks Ltd (Gibraltar) and creation of Atari Token Atari took a 15% stake, with a 17.5% stake in Infinity Networks, Ltd. (Gibraltar). This investment, made without cash disbursement by Atari, demonstrates the appeal of the Atari brand. Infinity Networks, Ltd. (Gibraltar), a company founded by a team of veteran Entertainment and Finance industry veterans and led by Ron Dimant and Daniel Doll-Steinberg, has an advisory board that brings together leading figures from foreground in the field of blockchains. The company is developing a decentralized platform giving access to any form of digital entertainment, ie a very wide offer ranging from video games to movies and music. This platform, under development, will work using cryptocurrency, the Atari Token. In exchange for these equity interests, earnings and future royalties, Atari has granted Infinity Networks, Ltd. (Gibraltar) a long-term license to use the Atari brand.
"Blockchains technology is poised to take a very important place in our environment and to transform, if not revolutionize, the current economic ecosystem, especially in the areas of the video game industry and online transactions," he said. Frédéric Chesnais, CEO of Atari, SA. "Given our technological strengths with the development studios, and the global reputation of the Atari brand, we have the opportunity to position ourselves attractively in this sector. Our objective is to take strategic positions with a limited cash risk, in order to optimize the assets and the Atari brand ".
The second project in progress is the strengthening of the partnership with Pariplay, Ltd in the launch in 2018 of casino platforms allowing players to bet either in real money or with most crypto-currencies currently outstanding. . These casino sites will offer many Atari games. To broaden the appeal of these new casinos, and once the Atari Token available, Atari has the project to launch Pong Token, a second Token dedicated to crypto-casinos and usable on these gaming sites. The details of this launch of crypto-casinos will be announced soon.

4- Chairman and CEO of Atari is 'advisor' to Virt-U

https://www.virt-u.io/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/One-Pager-Ver-04.pdf
https://www.virt-u.io/
https://medium.com/virt-u/the-way-virt-u-is-changing-the-ico-landscape-fb953079eec7

5- We all know the widespread knowledge that Atari & AMD are partnered on the upcoming Atari home gaming console- confirmed by AMD to be using a Ryzen chip.

SOO...again this is all speculation by me, but this console could not only be used for normal games, but possibly be involved with the Atari token both in transactions, gaming, mining, and even gambling.
Lots to chew on. Lots that would need to fall into place. Lots of chances of failures. But if it all ties together like it appears it could do...they just may be consolidating what at initial glance would be diversified projects.
Thoughts?

Hi there! I'm Sam, I'm 30 and I live in the Boston area. I'm a freelance sports journalist, I run my own sports media business and I'm one semester away from finishing my bachelor's in journalism. In my spare time I enjoy watching sports, video and card games, trivia nights, mini golf, bowling, Dave and Buster's, casinos, conventions, tournaments and cooking.
I'm looking for two things out of this post. The first is a new group of friends. I don't have a whole lot of real friends, or at least friends I can see reliably, because most of them don't drive and/or live pretty far away from me. So I'd like to find a group of people, preferably a mix of genders, who are into any of the same things I am and want to plan outings together - game nights, trivia nights, Foxwoods trips, tournaments, conventions, sports games, etc.
The second thing I'm looking for is a serious, long lasting romantic relationship. (Please note: while I'm looking for friends of any gender, I am only interested in dating women.) I want to find someone who not only cares about me, but also about the world around them. I'm not looking for someone who "isn't into politics." I have no time for apathy under this administration. If you like any of the activities I mentioned, are less Netflix and chill and more Amazon Prime and commitment, and want to crush fascist and racist pigs, I'm your guy.
(Also, as a side note - I'm willing to talk to anyone regardless of where you are, but I'd appreciate it if you are serious about meeting within a reasonable amount of time. I'm not looking to just chat with people online.)
Hopefully I've piqued your interest. Send me a message and let's chat!
And here's what I look like.
Hope to hear from you soon!

Hello there! I'm Sam, I'm 30 and I live in the Boston area. I'm a freelance sports journalist, I run my own sports media business and I'm almost done with my bachelor's in journalism. In my spare time I enjoy watching sports, video and card games, trivia nights, mini golf, bowling, Dave and Buster's, casinos, conventions, tournaments and cooking.
When I graduate in a few weeks, a very striking question will hit me: "Now what?" It's been a long journey to this moment, overcoming so many obstacles and experiencing disappointment and heartbreak at nearly every turn, without much support in my life beyond my family. Will I find a full-time job? Will my freelancing become my full-time job? Will I have to move outside of the Boston area? Can I get a new place? Can I get a new car? And whom can I share my life with?
You might not have the answers to all those questions, but hopefully you can be the answer to that last one, in one of two ways:
1) As part of a new group of friends. I don't have many reliable friends in the Boston area, so I'd like to find a group of people, preferably a mix of genders, who are into any of the same things I like and want to plan outings together - Foxwoods trips, game nights, Sox games, etc.
2) A serious romantic relationship (please note: while I'm looking for friends of any gender, I am only interested in dating women). I've never really been the type for hookups or anything else casual, and the rare times I was, they always ended horribly. I just want to find someone who can be my romantic partner, activity partner and best friend. Basically, I'm less Netflix and chill and more Amazon Prime and commitment (although I do have Netflix and Prime).
Also, please note: While I did say "anywhere" in the title, if you are from outside the Boston area/New England, I ask that you be willing to meet within a reasonable amount of time. I'm actually looking to meet people, not just talk to people online.
Hopefully I've piqued your interest. Send me a message and let's chat!

Yes, it's Sam from the Boston area again, and no, this is not a belated April Fools joke - I find myself on the market after another short-lived relationship. I'm not going to gripe about my luck or experiences - you can ask me about that when we chat. For now, let's just get reacquainted, shall we?
I'm a freelance sports journalist, I run my own sports media business and I'm one month away from finishing my bachelor's in journalism. In my spare time I enjoy watching sports, video and card games, trivia nights, mini golf, bowling, Dave and Buster's, casinos,conventions tournaments and cooking.
As I have in the past, I'm looking for two things out of this post. The first is a new group of friends. I don't have a whole lot of nearby or reliable friends, so I'd like to meet a group of people, preferably a mix of genders, who are into any of the same things I am and want to plan outings together - Foxwoods trips, Sox games, game nights, etc.
The second thing I'm looking for is a serious, long-lasting romantic relationship (please note: while I'm looking for friends of any gender, I am only interested in dating women). Again, I'm not going to go into my struggles here. You can ask me about it if you DM me. All I'll say up front is, finding someone who can be my romantic partner, activity partner and best friend is very important to me. Basically, I'm less Netflix and chill and more Amazon Prime and commitment (although I do have both Netflix and Prime).
Hopefully I've piqued your interest. Send me a message and let's chat! Bonus points if you're going to be at PAX East or GP Hartford!
And here's what I look like.
Hope to hear from you soon!
P.S. - When I say "anywhere" in the title, if you live a good distance away from me, I ask that you be willing to meet within a reasonable amount of time. I'm actually looking to meet people in person, not just chat online.

Hello there! Yes, it's me again, Sam from the Boston area. Are you sick of me yet? I understand if you are. If I saw me post on these subs as much as I do, I'd be worried. But enough self-depreciation. You're probably wondering, what's with the cryptic title? Don't worry, I'm not dying or under any threat of harm. Just read on and I'll explain.
First, the basics about me: I'm a freelance sports journalist, I run my own sports media business and I get my bachelor's in journalism this coming Saturday. In my spare time I enjoy watching sports, video and card games, trivia nights, mini golf, bowling, Dave and Buster's, casinos, conventions, tournaments and cooking.
I'm looking for three things out of this post, the first of which I realize is not very likely and the other two hopefully more reasonable.
1) A travel partner (or partners) to Las Vegas June 13-17/18. I'm going to be in town for a huge Magic: The Gathering tournament and I'd like to go with someone who is also going to play or would like to do typical Vegas stuff as well.
2) A new group of friends. I don't have many reliable, nearby friends, so I'd like to find a group of people, preferably a mix of genders, who are into any of the same things I am and want to plan outings together - game nights, Foxwoods trips, Sox games, etc. I've gotten messages on this subject from individuals, but I'm really looking for a group who will welcome me into their circle.
3) A serious, long-lasting romantic relationship. (Please note: While I'm looking for friends of any gender, I am only interested in dating women.) I could write a memoir the length of War and Peace about my dating woes. Seriously, I've experienced that much heartbreak and frustration. I just want to find someone who is as serious about finding something serious as I am, and can be my romantic partner, activity partner and best friend. As I've said before, I'm less Netflix and chill and more Amazon Prime and commitment (although I do have both Netflix and Prime).
Now, to answer your questions about the cryptic title: I could potentially face a complete transformation of my life in the next few weeks. I'm applying for full-time jobs, both nearby and hundreds of miles away (welcome to journalism job hunting!). I have some huge freelance gigs outside of the Boston area coming up and I want to do my best to impress, because it could increase my national profile. My lease is up at the end of July and I know for a fact that I want to move, whether I end up staying local or moving for a job, for a multitude of reasons. And ideally I would like to move in with someone I'm involved with (although I realize that's hard to do within the next two and a half months). I just need to know that, whoever enters my life, in whatever capacity, they are in it for the long haul, they won't desert me and they will show me the support and, for lack of a better word and at the risk of stroking my ego, admiration I have so desperately lacked as I have worked over the past several years to improve my life and get to this point. I just want to be taken seriously. I just want to know that I matter to people. (Yes, I know I matter to my family, but beyond that? That's hard to say.)
Needless to say, I'm not afraid to express my feelings, emotions and desires. So if you've gotten through all that, and would like to chat (serious inquiries only), my inbox is open.
And here's what I look like.
Hope to hear from you soon!
P.S. - While I did say "anywhere" in the title, if you are from outside New England I ask that you be willing to meet within a reasonable amount of time. I'm actually looking to meet people, not just chat online.
