+EV For This, -EV For That

[WVMountainSnake]

Apply the theory of +/-EV to other practical forms of living other than poker. For example, what is the EV of going to the movies, wearing a red shirt, is there an EV in dying? Situations arise all the time where a decision must be made. Sometimes people make poor decisions -EV and sometimes they make correct decisions +EV. The idea doesn't have to apply to poker. Have fun. Be creative. Just trying to get different communication going.

Sorry, I will never try to do anything fun again. It's a joke. Not meant to be taken seriously. Is everyone so God@^@# mean at this site, or just strung to tight?

It's only that this is already exactly what happens here and what has happened here since the beginning of time. It's not a joke. It sucks. You're going to get flamed. Read up a bit.

You are claiming it is a joke, yet getting all pissy because people are making fun of how moronic the post was? Isn't that the intention of a joke?

You messed up.... very, very badly. Just deal with it.

I'll take a bullet for you here: this site thrives on sarcasm, witty insults, utter contempt for the inane, and the pooper. If you can take the bashings I forsee in your future, you will come to appreciate the tone, the nuances of everyone's personalities (except for one individual i won't name as i haven't seen him on for a while), and some day you too might have a brilliant idea like an animal survivor tourney to share with the rest of us. In the meantime, buckup, lurk and learn, leave the P word out of this forum, and wish jake happy birthday.

You obviously don't give the poker community any credit whatsoever. Yeah, I go around thinking how EV every single decision in my life is. Vomit.

[WVMountainSnake]

Yeah, I guess it is a bad idea to whine. How about vulgar insults? [censored] off. Does that fit your requirements?

[WVMountainSnake]

This is getting heated. Go back to playing with your action figures you [censored] dork. It amazes me that I'm even bothering to reply to you. I now have less respect for myself.

Ya know, I try to lead a good life. Oh wait, that's bullshit. I don't try to lead a good life; I just do what I want. I go by that great maxim, "do unto others as they do unto you." I'm kind to those who are kind to me. I tend to be violently cruel to those who are cruel to me. So be nice or I'll track you down and smash your Darth Maul action figure.

I'm sure you'll agree with me, but the last part of this was just a whiny rant.

You're losing. Seriously, do yourself a big favor, chill out a little bit, and quit being a whiny little bitch. You got flamed a little bit for a dumb, n00bish post. Life goes on.

Don't call it noobish, implying it is similar to other noob posts.

This was the worst noob post made this year. It was quite possibly the dumbest thing I have read on this forum, and we have Dead.

Kind of slowed down a bit. OK then, enough is enough. Or is it? J/K. Got a game to go to in a few, so everyone keep up the good work, flaming and trying to degrade others for whatever enjoyment you get out of it. It was really a good time for me. I think I'll start posting here more often.

yo instead of getting defensive why don't you make one witty retort... just ONE... then people might have some respect. that's all it takes is making ONE hilarious comment at someone's expense, usually jakethebake will do just fine though others who have personally attacked you suffice, and then we won't call you a whiny bitch. now that would be +EV.

To the OP:

Understand that the whole premise of your thread has been one of the most overused clichés on 2+2. One can see +/- EV comments on these forums about all sorts of things unrelated to poker. It's one of those things that some people think is still clever, but makes the rest of the population want to punch them in the face...at least twice.

The only funny part of your post was the premise itself, and that's what people are responding to.
Well, now they are responding to your humorous overreactions, too.
