Mr. Gruffydd: Huw, I thought when I was a young man that I would conquer the world with truth. I thought I would lead an army greater than Alexander ever dreamed of, not to conquer nations, but to liberate mankind. With truth. With the golden sound of the Word. But only a few of them heard. Only a few of you understood.
Beth Morgan: Nothing is enough for people who have minds like cesspools. Oh Huw, my little one, I hope when you're grown their tongues will be slower to hurt.
Dai Bando: [Cyfartha is holding Mr. Jonas in boxing position] Now look, to make a good boxer, you must have a good... *right hand*, you see?
Dai Bando: Now, you see, that is how you will punish your man - with a right and a left, and put your shoulder into it!
Mr. Gruffydd: But remember, with strength goes responsibility - to others and to yourselves. For you cannot conquer injustice with more injustice - only with justice and the help of God.
Ianto Morgan: We are not questioning your authority, sir, but if manners prevent our speaking the truth, we will be without manners.
Huw Morgan: [Narrating] I think I fell in love with Bronwen then. Perhaps it is foolish to think a child could fall in love. But I am the child that was, and nobody knows how I felt, except only me.
Mr. Gruffydd: I know why you have come - I have seen it in your faces Sunday after Sunday as I've stood here before you. Fear has brought you here. Horrible, superstitious fear. Fear of divine retribution a bolt of fire from the skies. The vengeance of the Lord and the justice of God. But you have forgotten the love of Jesus. You disregard His sacrifice. Death, fear, flames, horror and black clothes. Hold your meeting then, but know if you do this in the name of God and in the house of God, you blaspheme against Him and His Word.
Huw Morgan: [Narrating] It is with me now, so many years later. And it makes me think of so much that is good, that is gone.

Earlier today, many US-based players on Full Tilt Poker reported that they had received their final rakeback payments (up to "Black Friday").
In addition, tournament tickets are being converted into cash and accounts are being credited for cashouts that failed in the days surrounding "Black Friday" (though many people still have withdrawals that are in limbo).
In the end, of course, the only thing that matters is that US players actually get their money back. Paying out rakeback and converting tickets into cash doesn't change the fact that FTP players in the United States still don't have their money yet.
Having said that, Full Tilt Poker getting their accounting in order is an important step on the road towards US players eventually being paid back.
It turned out he did have diamonds. The reason i didn't come over the top is because I have seen a lot of loose players making this minbet not only to get a cheap turn, but to decide if they can push you off the pot. I decided that since i have position I would call and give this loose player the chance to make a potsize bluff on the turn. On this flop the only scare card that can come is an ace. If I raise there (which probably is not a bad play either) then he makes an easy laydown with his crap (i mean what good draw does he have? 24 off?). But at least i would have won the pot there. I can't really decide what is better.
With only 48 hands villain's postflop stats are useless thus I would just disregard his donk bet and c-bet to 3$ as villain doesn't look like a good player and such are more likely to call raise than raise themselves. However if you have some read or another reason to slowplay then that's an option, but if villain just donks 1BB each street then you have to raise him on the flop.
This time slowplay paid off as you got the money in with very +EV, but as said, you need a reason to presume villain will put money in the pot by himself if you let him.
[1] I didn't bet the Flop but I regret it since then I know where I will actually stand with my sixes. On the other hand, it's a bit marginal imo
[2] Should I peel the Turn and let him fold to my riverbet when he checks? If he bets on the River, im folding basically
Him not c-betting the flop is somewhat weird given his stats, you'd need a better read on what prevented him from c-betting to know exactly what to make of it. CO probably doesn't have much unless the absence of a c-bet also spooked him. Bet/fold and check back are both viable.
I'd also fold the turn. Either he didn't c-bet the flop because he didn't have much and it's doubtful he'd fire that J turn with air at that point, or he didn't c-bet because he had something to begin with. Both cases i think you're better off folding instead of guessing his intentions as he seems pretty tight overall.
