I have this mental image of loners playing on Christmas day, blowing 200 bucks at 3/6 SH, realising they are unloved and life is futile, drinking a bottle of cheap scotch and then taking 100 extra strong pain-killers. I don't wanna be the guy taking their money that day, so I'll pass.

Hey! I resent that. I only drink good scotch, not the cheap stuff!

I know my play will probably be up a little on New Years and down a little on Christmas. Up a lot on New Years if I can help it.

unless the bankroll takes a big hit, I'll be playing 5/10.

I must admit that last year at the stroke of midnight, New Years Eve I was playing poker online.

Our kids were 2 and 10 months. My wife was exhausted and sleeping, and I spent the night playing poker. It was alright. It could possibly end up that way again this year.

Apart from the kids (mine are 6 and 2) ages, thats been my last couple of new years eves too!

And I have no reason to suspect this year will be any different - trying to get babysitters that night is pretty much mission impossible!

The majority of the world isn't christian.

correct.

the original sentence is confusing in structure...but he is agreeing with you and actually IS saying that the majority of the world is NOT christian.


would have made more sense (been slightly less likely to be confused) if he said,
'what if he is a non-christian....as is the case for most of the world?

You 18 - 28 year olds should and need to go out NYE.

Those of us over 30 have partied enough on NYE to justify staying in.

I discovered in my mid 20's that one of the best days to ski is Jan 1st. So I watch the ball drop on TV at 10:00 MST then go to bed. On New Years Day there is NO traffic and NO lift lines. I see no point in celebrating New Years Eve. Too many drunks in the bars and on the road. Besides, it's really just another day, really...

Re: Online poker on Christmas and New Years Day?
 

I don't know...I recall last Christmas being very busy. I couldn't even get a table the waiting lists were so long.

Then again, I think Stars was doing some 1 billionth hand promotion at that time, so that might have been why.

IMO the majority of the online-poker-playing world *is* Christian. "And it's not even that close."
