  1. If you haven't figured it out yet, this and many other non-socialized reasons is why we are the "Lone Superpower" Socialism does not sustain over an extended period of time, it is a farce. Its Star Trek, a fake Utopia. We will never have socialized medicine and our schooling is getting further away from the social programs that were instituted in the New Deal back in the 30's and 40's.Socialized medicine will cause a chain reaction in the level of care provided, If a doctor has to go to school and residency for 12 years (13 for surgeons) so they can make $65,000 a year it will slowly weed out
  2. Yeah, this section of the forum has been particularly dead. Instead I have to go look at the general forrum where a bunch of 18 years olds want someone to rail them in a $2 tourney or ask how to turn a $50 bankroll into a $200 bankroll. Its riveting stuff.We need Daniel to come back in, say something ridiculous get everyone stirred up. Or even better come tell us he has been playing tons of Cash games and give us the breakdowns.
  3. That is true also, it is why most games, unless everyone at the table agrees, you cannot lend off the table, especially in NL. It is kinda like "going south". If you by in for 100, run it up to 200, then loan 100 to your neighbor out of your stack you are basically freerolling.As for the other Hellmuth thing, I still would like to hear other player comments on having a piece of someone that you are in a game with. I do not think that I would want to play in that game. It is very unlikely that those two players will ever get involved in a pot together, so the rest of the table is at a disadvant
  4. I just read this and in the last 3rd of his blog he talks about having a third of Matusow in a game that he was also playing in. ANywhere I have ever played this is bad form, and can be considered collusion. Isn't this also what Doyle got so mad at on last years HSP when someone asked if they were playing behind gold?I am curious to see what you all think about this, and more importantly a pro like daniel who may or may not see this very often.Also, with all of these cash games going on around HSP and the other Tournamnent....Are you playing in any of these Daniel?
  5. I understand that Mesa is not a traditional Steak House, but when you can get Steaks that taste better than traditional steakhouses and have other options, plus a kick *** wine menu.... you cannot go wrong with anything you eat there. The atmosphere is cool too, plus it is directly across from the Shadow bar, so when you are done you can go get some drinks while looking at some banging bodies dancing behind the shades and when I was there with my wife, I got hit on, when she went to the bathroom. So if you are there with some dudes, dressed nice, you should do OK with the ladies....plus there
  6. Go with a 60" circular table, with no permanent dealer you cannot deal from the ends. At 60" you can squeeze 10 and fit 8 niceley.
  7. You can go to Ruth Chris Steakhouse anywhere.My wife and I went to Mesa grill (at Caesers) and she had the NY strip steak there, and Mr. Bobby Flay out did himself, it was the best Steak we have ever tried, better than Ruth Chris and Mortons. Plus they had a fantastic Somlmlier there to help pair some wine with your dinner, he was very young, about 24, but he did a great job for us. It is expensive though, the bill with tip was an even $300 for the two of us.
  8. Chuck Norris Punches and Kicks with his hand and his Feet, Chuck Norris....As for me, of Course, I am El Guapo, the Beautiful and need to show how beautiful I am. Oh, and you WILL die like dogs...
  9. Anything by Sugar Hill gang, especially "Rapppers Delight" and "Apache"That should cut your song numbers needed in half.
  10. I searched for it and did not find it, ususally can't find what I am looking for with the search fundtion on this site...Did not realize that it had been beaten to death, and was just wondering what others thought, because my wife was half asleep and when she heard it she sat up laughing, especially when Shana asked Sheiky why he was so mad and he responded "Because he is playing bad" That was pretty darn humouos, good comic timing by the Sheik.
  11. Before everyone gets their panties in a wad, I know this should be in the TV section but nobody ever posts any thing there so I figured I would put it here.I just watch an Old TIVOed PAD and Helmuth went ballistic for everyone talking while he was trying to make a decision "for all his chips", he was rude to the other players and called Sheiky out when it was everyone especially Huck, who he would not go after, and then berated the producer like he was a floor man or something.I just found it very interesting that all the players, and Shana new he was just trying to get TV time.It was friggin
  12. Sorry that was a bad example, but I hope you get the gist of what I was saying. I have actually never been to Minnesota (have been to Kansas) even though my company is based out of there.
  13. I just want to respong to Jan bowing out of the discussion for my comment about a woman being President. I did not say thay "I" would personally have a problem with a female president, what I mean without a bunch of detail is, many of the Nations that we deal and consider a threat treat women with disdain and hold them as second level humans, some wrose than how our own nation treated the Africans and Chinese we enslaved in the 1600-1800's.In my opinion those countries would not take our President seriously, it would be harder to negotiate treaties and get general internationl realtions stable
  14. I agree that I wish the country could look past the color of somoeones skin, but maybe living in Ca has clouded your vision of how bigoted this country still is, especially the older generations. I took my son to the Sacramento Zoo yesterday and I must have seen pretty much every major ethnicity there. That is not the way in Kansas and Minnesota, etc.As far as a woman, I am not in favor of having a woman as President because I think too many countries would "test her" and would lose respect for US and that would cause to get in more conflicts than necessary. What is funny about that, is I know
  15. In a purely altruistic sense I would love if we had the resources to help all of those in need across this great planet and give opressed nations people the right to choose their own government, eliminate genocide and war lords etc. But that is not realistic (it almost a form of Utopia to alleviate all the pain and suffereing, like Star Trek). I live in the US, if my country is going to spend money helping anyone but ourselves, there needs to be some benefit to us, even if it is not direct. It could be as simple as loaning Canada $100 Billion dollars for any reason and we get military support,
  16. Why does Americas invlovment in war being noble and it benefitting us have to be mutually exclusive? Why would we as a country spend millions and billions of dollars and US lives to do something that only gives us a good feeling, when we get involved in war something is affecting us.
  17. http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poker-foru...p;#entry1768086Here is my report on what I thought.
  18. BG were u serious about Jeb? Couldn't tell if that was sarcastic or not. As far as presidnetial canidate I beleive that the Rep primary is a race between THompson and Guiliani.But I almos think it would be better for Rudy to win because a lot of liberals would be OK voting for him, but Fred Tompson does have all the movies and Law and Order rec, and he has experience. I think the Lymphoma oculd be an issue. Obama does not offend me, I do not think he is hyper liberal, but I agree we would need a rep congress to counterbalaence. How do we vote in people like Pelosi here in CA? I just do not get
  19. Here are some tips from what we do with our regualr home game, although it has become much less regular as of late. We play a 1-2 PL dealers choice format. I suggest if you are self dealing getting a 60" round table, it is to hard to deal on an oval table when you are on the ends, and to hard to control the pot. But I would also suggest hiring a dealer for tips, one of our younger players had his Gf and her frined watch our game over superbowl weekend and this cute 21 year old offered to deal. She wasn't great at it, but it went faster than us dealing and she made $160 in tips for 4 hours. Sh
  20. Raymer and Cheese, cause with that kinda dough I could get 100 shanas
  21. First off wow did this thread get hijacked.Second I just read throught a couple pages of posts and man are All In and Bluedom crossing some lines that would not have been crossed if they had been standing in front of the people they were talking to or especially about.I am going to come out and say I agree with the war in Iraq. Husseinhad violated UN sanctions since 1993,and had been worse in recent years and needed to be dealt with. As far as the oil goes, if we need to go to war so I do not have to pay $7 a gallon, then great becasue as Baloon Guy previously stated, not only will increase in
  22. I always thought democracy was a sure fire win with rugs (sw)
  23. Daniel, Why only one day on HSP? And what would change to make it more.Also, something I have been curious about over the past year or so... I got interested in this webstie via the blog that was put on cardplayer and it had great poker content, tourneys and cash games and the cash game analysis is what I looked forward to the most... So the question is how come you rarley play cash games anymore? I would think that as you prepare for tourneys and to keep your skills up and to make more $$ you would at least play once or twice a week. I guess it just does not make too much sense to me why you
