Hi, iambensson,
English IS my native language, and I'm only guessing.

According the wikipedia article on internet trolling trolling is making a statement for the purposes of starting an argument -- or at least of attracting attention.

From that I guess that the poster thinks that the blog is trolling.

What is funny is that his post is trolling. :coolface:

In English folk lore, a troll is a large, usually stupid creature that lurks under bridges and attacks those who would attempt to cross.

Edit: See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll
According to that, trolls are Scandinavian folklore and have nothing to do with bridges.
My grandfather ( definitely English) would speed up to drive over bridges, "so the trolls couldn't get us"

Trolling is also a method of fishing where bait is dragged at slow speed through the water to catch fish.

Peace,
VS

From your perspective I don't think you have a value bet on the river.

From btn's perspective prob he has to call (though tough to do this) cause otherwise he folds too much.

Given your stack + your aggression -I guess you are aggressive :)- it's kind of the best bluff catcher he can have. He blocks your top set / straights also.

Just an abbreviation of my PS.com name.

hi, guys, I lost 3300usd yesterday, which is the worst day this month
I would like to say my vpp is 4.8sn now, and I want to accumulate 100000vpp from december 1 to december 15
yes, 15 days, and my vpp per hour is like 600vpp, so it means I have to play like 11.5hours a day in order to finish this goal

if I fail, I would donnate my sn milestone to charity, if I succeed I would donnate my sn milestone to toys

As a PLO player i can tell u it's a terrible idea to start moving to plo as a result of a dowsnwing. Especially since you would have to start at plo50 or lower not to go broke while learning the basics
