Judaism is not a major religion. It has fewer followers than Juche, the state-imposed religion of North Korea (if you can call it a religion). There are only about 15 millions Jews in the world, far fewer than the billions of Muslims and Christians.

Limit and pot/no limit games play very differently. Does that warrant splitting the O8 forum into two new fora?

Yes.

Only 61% of the players in my database are losers.Care to define player?

If SitnGos are more enjoyable and more profitable for you, then play SitnGos.

Well, assuming God is omnipotent and omniscient, we can say that when God created the universe he knew exactly how everything would play out and he had the power to choose any future. This implies that God is, in fact, responsible for a million dollar coinflip result.

The problem with pushing monsters preflop is that it's a pretty easy strategy to beat. Everyone should just fold if you enter a pot.

Just because bad players play short stacks doesn't mean that playing a short stack makes you a bad player. Playing a full stack is not the only way to go.

Buying in short is a good strategy.I have a question for you: if you buy in at $200, then why not get up once you hit $400? Or buy in for $400?It doesn't seem logical to buy in at $200 and stay until $700.

Sitting down with less than full buy is not handicapping yourself; it's fine.

If you're a breakeven player or worse, that line will be a horizontal line at 1.

1) rakeback (never had it, no clue how it works, but it's +EV, right?)Full Tilt has up to 27% rakeback. PokerStars has 0%. Bonuswhores says Full Tilt has had $300 reload bonuses about every two months. PokerStars has had $120 about every three months.2) easy to multi-tableFull Tilt hogs more resources (or so I've heard; it works fine for me). A nice feature of Full Tilt is that you can have it put you at the bottom of each table (PAHud is compatible with this feature too). PokerStars has resizable windows, which is great.3) poker tracker compatible (preferably without the aid of a handgrabber,

Be a good human being and tell the person you can see his cards.

Thanks for the feedback. I think. Have you played many hands shortstacked at PLO8? It would be interesting to develop detailed shortstack strategies for other games. A problem with PLO8/NL08 is the relative smallness of preflop edges. Unlike hold 'em, where you can be an 80/20 favorite, most edges in O8 are 60/40ish or smaller. However, if people play poorly enough on the flop, then it doesn't matter much. Do you know your standard deviation per 100 hands playing shortstacked so far?Unfortunately, pokertracker's calculation of standard deviations isn't correct. I believe I read somewhere t

Well, maybe... If you assume you can play well postflop then I guess you can justify basically anything.

You guys are crazy! 93o should definitely be played in some circumstances.Good players mix up their strategy.Playing 93o is mixing up your strategy.Therefore, playing 93o will make you a good player.By the way, this same logic is why I occasionally* fold AA when it's limped to me in the big blind.*When the second hand of my watch is pointing to an even number. Good players** use game theory!**Good players also buy digital watches

Full Tilt sounds best to me.

How is it possible to describe god in an infinite number of propositions? There aren't enough words in all the languages combined to do so. Saying god is infinite is meaningless.

Play whichever game at which you are best at stakes you can afford.

Goal A: Make 10k.Goal B: Make more than minimum wage.Goal C: Make anything.Goal D: Stay out of bankruptcy court.Goal E: Make enough to bribe the judge at the bankruptcy hearing, bribe the repo man who comes to my home, and bribe the officials investigating the bribing scandal.Chances are I'll end up between A and B.

Pretend you have a flush draw on the flop. The odds of a flush hitting on the next card are about 4:1. If an opponent bets 1/4 of the pot, call because you're getting 5:1 odds. If an opponent bets the pot, fold because you're only getting 2:1.

100 bb buy in:Winrate: X PTBB/100StDev: 40 PTBB/100Bankroll: 800*ln®/X20 bb buy in:Winrate: Y PTBB/100StDev: 20 PTBB/100Bankroll: 200*ln®/YThe whole point of playing shortstacked is that it gives higher risk-adjusted returns.With $7,000, a 5 PTBB/100 winrate, and a .005 risk of ruin, a deepstacked player will be forced to play at $3/$6 by bankroll constraints. A shortstacked player can play $10/20 NL. At those limits, the deepstacked player would earn $60 per 100 hands and the shortstacked player would earn $200 per 100 hands.Ponder this:You have a $100 buy in. You sit in a game against 8 othe

You can play. It's not too risky.

Playing shortstacked is +EV.
