5/10 6 handed. Your stack: 3000
Button’s stack: 3455
Your oppenenent is very loose and active preflop, but usually slows down a little bit after the flop. However, he is capable of making bluffs as seen when he lost with A high on a 4 diamond board against little action.

You hold: QQ
Preflop you raise 35 in mp after everyone folds to you. The button raises to 120 and the blinds fold. You call.
The flop comes out 3s 3c 7s. Pot is 255. You bet 215 and he calls.
The turn comes out 10s. The pot 685 and you decide to slow down and check. He bets 440 and you call.
The pot is 1565 and you check again on the river when a 9d comes out. He bets another 1430. What do you do?

Be Here Now, Paperbag asked:


In the film Blood Diamond, a character refers to a cigarette as a ‘loose.’ Is this legitimate South African slang or a Hollywood invention?

My engagement ring was a cut cornered rectangular diamond, bezel set in platinum, from a very reputable maker. One day I noticed that the diamond, while not falling out, was loose!! So I took it back to the store and they are checking it out. While Im waiting to see what they find, I would like know if anyone else had this happen or if you know how this could happen? I take it off when cleaning, cooking, washing dishes.

Kris asked:


My boyfriend noticed that the top diamond in my ring is loose. Just barely loose, I believe. When I shake the ring I can hear a slight rattle. I can’t see it shaking, but my boyfriend says he is sure it’s the top one.

Anyway…if I take it to a jeweler, will they charge me to have it tightened? Money is a little tight at the moment…
It wasn’t bought locally. We bought it from a family jeweler while in Israel.

I take it to get cleaned every month, and they clean it for free…maybe they’ll tighten it for free. I don’t know, just thought I’d ask here first.

thank you all <3
oh, and I will refrain from wearing it 'til it is fixed, of course.

Ok, I know this does not really go here and I am sorry. I will re-ask elsewhere if theres a section I missed that would be appropriate.

I am going to be proposing some time in the near future. my girlfriend and I have looked at rings and such together online (exactly when the actual official asking is going to be and such,is still gonna be a surprise…)

anyway, we found this site, http://www.brilliantearth.com/ and it looks *really* good. canadian, fair trade conflict free diamonds, reclaimed Gold, even the box it comes in is made from renewable forests and all that nice eco-friendly stuff, shes more into such things than I am, but I would prefer all that sort of ethically clean things as well.

but is that stuff authentic? I mean, I have seen one thing that says the kimberly process or whatever it is, is not that reliable, and another that says the canadian diamonds thing isn’t as “clean” as some places advertise it to be…

how much of that is suckering sentimental saps for their money, how much is reliable?

and what about certifications? what has me slightly worried on this place is that the certifying place that they seem to use, seems to not have the most pristine reputation and that concerns me.

also, how small is too small? whats a “normal” diamond size for such a ring? (wearing it after the marrige as well, not just for the engagement) the price difference for one more millimeter of diameter seems rather subsantial if its a good cut and all.

an idea I have thought of would be getting the diamond loose, having it verified or something, and if its as it should be, then get it put in a ring, and if not return it? how much does such verification take?

PepperLuvr asked:


It’s kind of hard to describe but I’ll try my best. It’s like bunch of strings of diamonds, not bound together but loose, and just gathered at the ends and has a clasp fastener or whatever. Anyone know what I’m talking about or know where I can find one?
Here’s kind of like what it is: http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/app.detail/walk.yah.1001~1013~D185

Now just imagine a couple of those stringy ones bound together at the ends only and left dangling on your wrist.

6bits asked:


My husband bought a warranty with the earrings he gave me for a gift. They 1 carat studs set in white gold. They have the screw on back. I took them in for their 6 month inspection at a chain jewelry store and the diamonds were loose so they had to send them in to get tightened.
I also needed a new screw back. Now that I got them back and have worn them a handful of times I notice that the stem is getting tarnished. The part of the stem that has the grooves for the screw is getting dark grey and that has never ever happended before I took them in. I do not sleep with them or wear them in the water. The srew backs are different than the original ones. Does anybody know what is causing this? Do they change out the whole earring whenthey tighten loose stones?
