WhiskyRiver 0 Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 The secret to winning poker was revealed to me today by a security guard before the start of a tournament. You see, all it takes is for you to make your body reach a state of pure relaxation. When you do that, your inner energy (atoms) interact with the energy surrounding you. That energy flows to your cards, and you will win every time. How does YOUR positive energy have any effect on the flop, you might ask? Simple, the atoms (energy) communicate telepathically with the atoms of the dealer, which in turn interact with the atoms in the cards. The thing is, you CAN'T throw any hand away, that would show a lack of trust in your relaxation and positive energy, and it would fail. This security guard has moved this beyond a theory, it HAS been proven. You heard it here first, folks. You'll be seeing me winning the series this year using this technique. I'll be the one calling with :clubs3: :hearts9: with my eyes closed imagining myself in a long, dark tunnel surrounded by blue skies. Link to post Share on other sites

WhiskyRiver 0 Posted May 21, 2005 Author Share Posted May 21, 2005 I believe the security guard is content with using his powers to conquer the 2-4 game in shoreline, washington. I will be the one who uses these powers to conquer the world. But in a very relaxed way, not an evil way. Link to post Share on other sites
angler 0 Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 I am sure the Security guard in question was just doing field research and is a Columbia grad student doing work on the art of Zen, ya that's it. If you run into him again, can you query him on the vocal stylings of Trent Reznor playing in the background while you are playing? Link to post Share on other sites

But in a very relaxed way, not an evil way.For some reason I found that line hilarious.And Ep. 3 is the best of the prequels.It's pretty 1.4.Hope I used that right, I'm working on the wave too so the pretty betties will think they know who I am.

MasterLJ 0 Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 There was an actual study done on random number generators. It started out with one "black box" in England and they asked people to "concentrate," on the random number generator. Surprisingly, they influenced the machine. The machine spits out binary numbers (0's and 1's) and obviously, over a large span of time a proper random number generator should yield the same amount of 1's and 0's. People were able to change the distribution slightly.They furthered this study with a global network of generators that pooled their algorithms together. Even more suprisingly the generator seemed to react to world events. Things like the Tsunami and 9/11 ended up changing the distribution. Very fascinating stuff.To me, there is a much less supersititious secret to poker and that is to know when you play right and know when you play wrong. For example, it's statistically possible that someone out there exists that makes all the wrong calls with all the wrong hands but still gets paid EVERY SINGLE TIME they do it. Of course, this is semi fictitious, but possible. The point is, making a bad move that pays off should not have you smiling, Making a good move that loses should make you happy with your play.Playing online just lends itself to bad beats and getting outdrawn. If I have all my money in with the best hand I am happy with my play (I play mostly heads up). Oh, and some links to the "black box." You can google around for more on it, but I just thought I'd share this one link since it was the first relevant link google found.http://www.rednova.com/news/display/?id=126649 Link to post Share on other sites
