i really absolutely abhor the new maps. i'm to the point of changing lobbies every time i get one. if they don't unweight them very soon i'm just going to sell back the game.

looks good to me!

http://www.gamblingsystem.biz/books/2p2NL6max.pdfThis is a pretty great primer on 6max if that's what you are insistent on playing. Are you trying to play with a HUD or looking up your opponents in HEM as you play?As for sample size, I won't consider even taking a shot at a limit above where i am until i've got a positive winrate over 20,000 hands at my current limit. The rake is essentially unbeatable below $25 NL though, so you're probably wasting your time so low.

I've just lost patience with people who show up out of the blue, post 1 out of context graph or statement after over 1,000 posts of discussion and act like the discussion should be over. Oh, health care is expensive in america! The only solution is to be Europe! I 100% agree with the bolded. The more you streamline and standardize any process, the cheaper it becomes. Based on the 2,000+ page health care law, I think that's not the direction washington has any intention of heading.The best I can do on the premature babies thing is cite henry I'm afraid. I'm happy to stop using it as an ar

or, you know, read the ****ing thread.you're setting up a giant straw man in a way that the president has been doing for a year and a half. yes, costs are an issue. costs are the main issue. costs are the issue the right actually wants to address. forcing people to buy care or moving to single payor doesn't actually reduce costs unless you impose harsh rationing, and it has tons of unintended consequences. life expectancy is a horrible analog for the health of a nation. even if it was, life expectancy numbers reported by other countries versus the US aren't a homogenous comparison becaus

Except they are, and it's been explained on here dozens of times why.

FYPAlso, how big is this game going to be. 25-50? 200-400? Most of the people listed don't play legitimately high stakes cash games except laak when he super nits it up on HSP once a year. There was a british cash game show a year ago or so that was 25-50 with some of these same players on it and it was painfully boring.

you'll only need the lowstakes version of HEM, which should save you some cash.tips depend on what you want to use it for. Are you looking to play with a heads up display or just have a tool to review your stats and big hands later?the first time i installed HEM it took me something like 20 hours to get working correctly, most of which was my fault. there are a lot of quirks with installing it, but having a completely updated operating system (hopefully windows 7) and following the instructions super closely will help. there isn't as much of a front end guide, but the troubleshooting sectio

http://www.raketherake.com/?refer=RTR34188Use that to get rakeback at full tilt. Rakeback is absolutely imperative if you're going to be playing that low. The site has very easy to follow setup instructions, so go there before you download fulltilt to make sure you get signed up properly.I believe full tilt will credit your first series of deposits to your initial sign up bonus as well. If it doesn't happen automatically, you can email them and they will adjust it.Rakeback at full tilt is going to be more useful to you than the VIP program at pokerstars for a cash game player starting out u

I've yet to see a combined analysis of it, but that would presently be quite difficult because the 65% number i quoted is basically an industry average. These ratios were previously set at the state level, so I assume it's hard to do anything other than a state by state breakdown, which would be brutal with 50 different sets of insurance laws. To answer your question though, no, I don't think anyone writing the bill did that math any more than the senators who passed it actually read all 2,000 pages of it. Thinking in accounting terms, it seems like an impossible hurdle to profitability. T

I just don't think that the addition of young, healthy, low risk people can possibly offset the additional burden of accepting unprofitable pre-existing conditioned people and holding premiums relatively steady while forcing up reimbursement rates. Insurance companies right now are required in most states to maintain a 65% payout ratio. At that ratio, they see roughly 2-3% profit margins. The bill changes that arbirarily to 85%. The only way to make up the difference is to raise premiums, which will be extremely difficult with the price controls that are also imposed in the bill.

LLY, i think you're missing out on the "outrage" factor. A huge contribution to Obama's election 08 was pure, unadulterated hatred for GWB by a desire for everything that wasn't him, no matter what. Add in that you had a republican who fiscal conservatives weren't really a fan of running in opposition, and I think a box of dead rats with the word "Change" written on it could have beaten Mccain. I think the outrage factor has shifted extremely quickly the other way. The conservative base that was relatively apathetic in 2008 has gotten extremely active. Obama can't run on a platform of amb

granted it's HU fighter, but my heads up Cbet is between 80 and 85% vs. most opponents.

How can you have 1,000 posts on a poker forum and be this retarded?

i, for one, am more than interested in what wang would spend a large sum of money on.

Agree. Respect.

... So he would theoretically learn more from the same players at 25-50 where they are more comfortable and the money isn't affecting their judgement?

So... patrik said you need a $50M bankroll to be properly rolled for $500-1000 online.Assuming he was talking mostly about PLO which is higher variance, what size bankroll would you need to correctly play 100-200 NL / PLO? $3M? $5M? $10M?

ass

I think it means that the player sucks because he views poker in a way that allows him a way to make a significant income with relatively little risk of ruin, as opposed to daniel who is awesome because he was self admittedly relatively "poker broke" a few years ago after losing a shit ton in the big game playing a huge predominately PLO game that was out of his bankroll thanks to his ego.I think.
