Pivvy2001 0 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 So I take it, Balloon guy, that it is no different if Croesus were to lose 10,000 daricks or if a peasant were to lose the same amount? Perhaps you are not aware of this, but every system of currency is dependent upon the concept of relative wealth. If you do not believe that Phil Hellmuth is notable for his ability to accumulate and retain wealth within the gambling community then I am not certain what to tell you. You might consider resigning yourself to the fact that there is scarcely any topic in the world in which I could use your insight or advice. 1. being likable2. marriage3. poker skills4. the Republican party5. art6. not coming off like a complete troll7. living in more exotic places than Ithaca (anywhere, really - I know I know, you work at Cornell, we get it)8. gifts for womenjust a few thoughts Link to post Share on other sites

A professional basketball player might play one on one against Megan Fox and intentionally lose.2. I have never been married, so he could tell me about his personal experience at marriage; while this information might be of interest for reasons relating to his personal characteristics, and particularly his psychology, it would almost certainly be of scant practical value.3. This is untrue.4. This is true but I could care less. I have worked for Obama (driving people to the polls, registering new voters) and voted for him; I intend to help him with his re-election campaign in 2012.5. It is rather unlikely that he knows more than I do about either art, literature, psychology, or philosophy.6. see #1.7. I returned from Europe on Friday.

I don't live in Ithaca (I realize that it says that on my profile).2. Being liked is one thing; being recognized and discussed is another. I would be surprised if anyone here likes me. However, I am quite well known on the forum and everyone wants to hear what I have to say, to speculate on my identity, laugh at me, criticize me, quote me, and complain about me. I started a thread a couple of days ago about Daniel and he felt the need to defend his position against what I had said. That is what is what is important to me, not likability. I will leave that for the kitten in the window at the pet store. Link to post Share on other sites

You are not liked, but you did manage to accomplish discussion.You truly are like a sixth grader that just wants attention regardless of what kind. Fair enough. Link to post Share on other sites

I like how she considers herself an actor. I was in a play in grade school, I guess that makes me an actor as well.imdb Link to post Share on other sites
HangukMiguk 8 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Not only is Phil Hellmuth a great poker player, but he understood the nascent poker industry better than anyone and now occupies a position of invulnerable financial stability. From a psychological standpoint he is rare in that he is a compulsive gambler but he is able to reign in his impulses and manage his money properly. By contrast, Daniel Negreanu is spending more on prop bets than he is on entries at the WSOP.weren't you the guy that was also pissed that you bought a case of energy drinks that hellmuth endorsed for your gf's birthday that she flipped out over?i think this is the guy you should idolize more:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPjfqWCscJk Link to post Share on other sites
