So I'm reading this morning's LA Times Sports section and on page D8 there is a "Newswire" section where they catch up on the news of...

Re: Dumping on the White Sox

While there is some truth to Scioscia's comment(s), I also believe that he was taking the "High Road" and I would expect nothing less from the gentleman.

Re: Do you fear death?

It seems to me most strange that men should fear
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come.

Re: Heard at The Bike

Re: Does anyone have chip collections from various casinos

Yes, Andy is correct on both points, I do collect, mainly obsolete chips from the 1940's-1960's (Nevada and California), and there are a group of us who meet on the third Tuesday (next Tuesday in...

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike Thread (3/3 show)

Re: Mucked Hands v Cards Speak v One Player To a Hand

Andy,

You need to finish the story and tell everyone what happened the very next hand.

Re: Mucked Hands v Cards Speak v One Player To a Hand

Rick,

Like you said in your post, it depends on where and by whom, referring to Casino/Location and Floorman.

In Josh's example, the hand of his opponent was live because it hadn't touched the...

I know you said he "may" have been tilting however with out a specific read on UTG+1, I would fold pre-flop. I sometimes get the impression that players overvalue A Q, especially when confronted with...

Re: Medium draw in low stakes

Why assume he has anything?

Didn't his opponent raise his flop bet? Granted raises can mean different things, one of which is a better hand.

Like most situations a lot would depend upon your...

Re: First 19k hands at Party 3/6, find the leaks!

nothing I say will convince you

I'm open to any input that is given, but as of yet I haven't seen anything that convinces me it's a specific VPIP% that is optimal. Come on admit it, didn't you...

Re: First 19k hands at Party 3/6, find the leaks!

Hello Max,

I agree with the concept that the graph illustrates, my "gut" tells me that perhaps it's a range that is optimal rather than a specific number.

Re: First 19k hands at Party 3/6, find the leaks!

Could you explain how you came up with that graph and why you think it's accurate.

Am I to interpret from it that VPIP of 16% is optimal?
