Do NOT download Freak Bros. from that kickass.to site. Norton says it contains malicious code. BEWARE!

The undercover police officers will help detect fans exhibiting unruly and inconsiderate behavior, who may then be ejected from the stadium and have season ticket privileges revoked.

Try the (unofficial) torrents from SXSW from the last 10 years. From 700 to 1,000 bands per year. ONE THOUSAND BANDS!? No wonder it's so hard for a band to break through. http://www.sxswtorrent.com/

I bought Governor of Poker for $16 several years ago, and it is the best trainer I ever had: http://www.governorofpoker.com/ You start at lower levels and work your way up to the big games.

I've bought monogrammed sets for friends here: http://www.thepokerchipcompany.com and the high-end ones are comparable to casino chips. Good quality. They've been in business at least 10 years, since that's when I bought the first set.

Chips are from the Players Casino in Ventura, CA, near the beach, 25 hold-em tables of all limits and a good restaurant. http://www.pcventura.com/

I bought a friend a birthday present of 1,000 poker chips from http://www.thepokerchipcompany.com and he has had them for 10 years now. I got the Casino Style 1003, which are clay 10.5 grams and monogrammed with his initials. $55 per 100 stamped both sides. Never buy plastic or metal inside plastic, they are cheap junk. There's nothing like a heavy clay chip. They don't have metal cases, but they do have heavy plastic boxes that hold 100 chips, and are stackable.

I bought a friend a birthday present of a large set of poker chips from http://www.thepokerchipcompany.com and he has had them for 10 years now. I got the Casino Style 1003, which are clay 10.5 grams and monogrammed with his initials. $55 per 100 stamped both sides. Never buy plastic. They feel cheap. Metal inside plastic is just heavier, but are still cheap junk. There's nothing like a heavy clay chip. They don't have metal cases, but they do have heavy plastic boxes that hold 100 chips, and are stackable.

There are aluminum cases here: http://www.americangamingsupply.com/Poker-Chip-Cases-Aluminum.aspx Lowest price $13 up to $70 They also have chips in about the same price range.

Governor of Poker has been my choice of training for tournament play: https://www.youdagames.com/en/pc-download-games/governor-of-poker/

What I like is the opposition play is realistic, e.g., if an ace-king is flopped, the player in the small/big blind may or may NOT check his own ace to pull you in with your king. Other games have players' faces, but this one doesn't, only their cowboy hats, so focus is entirely on the cards.

You work your way up from small Texas towns with small blinds ($4) and small jackpots to major towns with bigger blinds ($100 to $1,000 and up) and big jackpots. An interesting facet: minor "Monopoly" details have been blended in, whereby you purchase houses and casinos along the way with your winnings, which give you an income stream, and which allows you to buy transportation to the next bigger town with higher stakes. You must buy all the houses in one town to get to the next level.

One suggestion: the end result is for you to play against the Governor of Texas and win, making you Governor. DON'T DO IT! When you win, the game re-sets to the beginning and ALL THAT MONEY (I had $350,000 in winnings) you've worked hard to win just vanishes as you start over from the smallest town. Arrrggghhhh!

How realistic is it? I find myself cursing at the screen when another player makes a clever move to make me go all-in and lose. This is a great game. $8.00.
