What's really funny here is how "MATT PLEASE DELETE" gets so many views.

Think this could be the new "A Test (Don't Bother Reading This One)?"

I just like looking at that avatar shamelessly stolen from primatepoker.com, what's with that site anyway?

P.S. Are you THE Dan Mezick?

But "Annie_Nuke" isn't as clever as they think it is.

PrimatePoker appears to be a legitimate business based in Des Moines, Iowa. I'm not sure if the apes adhere to or follow any specific philosophal system. From the writings, and the business model, they appear to be material Darwinists. I once met the CEO, Dr. Norm McAuliffe (http://www.pokerfyi.com/primatepoker/online_poker_interview.asp) at a technical conference. He's a very nice guy.

Q. Can you cite the specific poker research and writings that have influenced Primate Poker?
A. Yes. The greatest influence was David Sklansky and his book "Tournament Poker for Advanced Players". Specifically, page 122 which describes "The System" for no-limit strategy. A second influence, and the one that caught the initial attention of our CEO is the great writing of Daniel Negreanu. Daniel wrote an article in 2002 that absolutely stunned our CEO, Dr. Norm McAuliffe. You can see Daniel's very important, influential article here.

Paraphrasing Daniel Negreanu:

Over the last few years, I know of some computer whizzes who have been working on systems that could be implemented in a no-limit tournament that could almost guarantee you a long-term profit. Although I don’t think anyone is quite there yet, I do believe they are close. It’s likely you could develop a winning preflop strategy and have a monkey execute it.
