  1. http://luckiestone.blogspot.com/"In 2002, I matriculated at an Ivy League law school. Four short years later, I've found myself in a large Midwestern city, without a law degree. Without a job. Missing three teeth. And approximately $91,000 in debt. I have alienated my friends and family. I have committed many crimes and idly contemplated committing many more. Told countless lies. How to explain this troubling reversal of fortune? Welcome to the entertaining world of online (and offline) gambling."
  2. too small a picture?Maybe someone can improve the scaling:http://i6.tinypic.com/16m12d4.jpg
  3. I just found a great document that addressed every crackpot tax argument possible. I'm glad to see the IRS has addressed these conspiracy theories:http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-utl/friv_tax.pdf
  4. Just like banks, the lower the reserve ratio, the higher the profit. The only limitation would be prudence and the relevant laws of the jurisdiction, which in this case is some shady place like Gibraltar so it wouldn't surprise me if they kept a low reserve and pushed the rest in high-interest account and instruments.That is why I think a no-rake poker site could make sick money if they were able to avoid a run on their funds.But, that is a long-winded way of saying I'm too lazy to look as well.Here's an example of no escrow:June 20, 2006.According to various press releases surfacing on online
  5. I doubt you would say this to someone in the OP's position in person, so why be an e-*******?Losing your roll is punishment enough for poor management, no need to kick someone when he's down.
  6. Oh gosh, I just peed my pants laughing when that starting playing!175k prize pool sounds like the approximate GDP of Australia, not the prize pool in the game that the friend of your barber's sister's cousin's brother organized.Besides, I thought "cu in 4years Dan" referred to when you were getting out of prison.
  7. If I wrote low pairs, then it is not clear whether the pair is at least in board on the board. I could have said pocket, but that's 6 letters and wired is only 5.Not that anyone on General will actually discuss strategy.But thanks for making my make-up run this morning with your hurtful comments.
  8. Funny stuff, but I'd like to hear some critique of the play, maybe get something out of it.Concerning the angry Kenny Rogers guy: too aggressive with low wired pairs?
  9. I want some final remarks from Brad, I'm curious to see if his perspective is different when he is a little less anonymous.
  10. I was just reading about Andew Black on a wiki link and thought this was relevant:"Losing is one of poker's hard lessons. As well as being highly intelligent, Black is a clearly a very emotional man. "Because of the element of chance, you can do everything right and still lose. You get hit by unbelievable body blows, which are dictated by statistical probabilities. I work with this by saying, 'This will happen.'"I ask what it was like to lose that hand at the World Championship. Black's face creases: "It was so painful, you have no idea. Afterwards, while I was playing, I was trying to hold th
  11. Wiki says Andew Black discarded all his possessions and lived in a semi-monastic Buddhist environment for 5 years after exiting the 1998 WSOP.This guy sounds like quite a character. Any good stories of him that people have heard? Does he have monk-like calm at the table?Just curious.I found this interesting (article linked to the wiki entry):"My experience of Buddhist practice means that I also include how I am, how I am treating the other players, and how I respond to both winning and losing. You can disregard that feeling, just like in life, but in poker you get immediate payback. It's alway
  12. Derek, I don't think you will find common ground, despite the objective truth of the matter.His response will likely be a sentence that spits on the noble apostrophe combined with either the word slave or b*tch.http://profiles.yahoo.com/bhaas I'm sure you are extremely creative and innovative, but you understanding of the law as demonstrated on this board is largely incorrect.Seriously though, Bhaas, I wish you the best in finding an inventing job.I'm also envious about your suped up Camaro. I bet it hauls.http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/cascade-...-hey-bhaas.html
  13. Wow, you win with your poorly written insults.In the end, you can choose to drive drunk, to speed, or to not pay your taxes. But, don't suggest you are not breaking the law or that the law doesn't apply to you. Be a man, and take some responsibility instead of looking for an imaginary loophole that justifies your conduct.
  14. You repeatedly ask for proof on this or that, but what proof have you offered on anything?You make ridiculuos claims, then hide your ignorance by dropping "hints" of how you are correct, without every explaining anything. You merely link conspiracy websites. When you are proven wrong, you just ignore it and move on.Tell you what, I will continue to look up and debunk the myths you present, if you admit the number of things you have been wrong about including:The fact the Kuglin case is about criminal liability, not the right of the IRS to tax. And that criminal liability was not found but of t
  15. Listen. Everytime you have offered proof, I have shown you to be the idiot you are. However, I don't have the time to look up every piece of leglislation, every case, or every principle you misinterpret or claim to understand. Can someone else please jump in here? Yes, of course, when the police or a government agency decide it is not worth their time to respond to the stupid questions posed to them, it is because they know you are on to them.Either that or they know it is a waste of their time, and the dumbest fool can ask a question that the smartest person can not answer.
  16. No, that is not fair enough because you are wrong and your ignorance has harmful consequences.You can believe what you want, but I will make a point of showing some of your errors to prevent people from assuming it is correct. Fair enough?
  17. Look, I've come to the conclusion that you are beyond all hope.However, my remaining concern is that by throwing out these ridiculous statements, people may actually rely on your nonsense and get hurt.Ultimately, I just hope people have the sense to see your comments for what they are.Here's what a judge has to say about the 16th amendment:JUDGE ANDREW NAPOLITANO, FOX NEWS SENIOR JUDICIAL ANALYSTGIBSON: Is there a constitutional objection to allowing the federal government to take money out of your paycheck every week?NAPOLITANO: Well, there was until the 16th Amendment was enacted in the earl
  18. Listen moron, quit jumping from one stupid statement and issue to another.This is what you said, "They couldn't prove she was liable for income tax."WRONGThey couldn't prove she intended to disobey tax law. Can you see the difference?THE CASE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HAVING TO PAY TAXES.She, like you, truly believe in the nonsense you are muttering. You believe you do not have to pay taxes, therefore it is difficult to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you were breaking the law on purpose. You are still done for on crimes that require less intent and in civil cases with a lower burden of proo
  19. Oh my *#*$#*$#*$*$*!!!!!Once again, you have jumped from one ignorant legal claim to another.From the 2 seconds of research I have done, the Kuglin jury merely does not find the criminal liability attached to her failure to pay (and probably was appealed or the IRS merely sued her civilly to collect). The mental state is likely intentional breaking of the act, and she honestly believed it did not apply to her so they were unable to get a conviction on the criminal element.THIS DOES NOT MEAN SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO PAY TAXES.Here you go: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,94630,00.html Please, tak
  20. Is that when he gets out of prison?
  21. It is actually quite amusing reading how people think they have some secret handshake that will get them out of legal trouble.Here's a funny one:http://www.suijuris.net/forum/court/7238-p...g-strawman.htmlBasically, the guy tries to apply some of this legal mythology and gets worked over and sent to the loony bin. Yet, he still tries to represent himself and apply this bs. A overworked court gives him a conditional discharge and he thinks his nonsense has saved him. He would have got the same deal if he just plead guilty.These stories are sad, and guys like Clyde Hyde do a lot of harm by convi
