Re: Is Gavin Lying to me?
I've been to Guatemala and Honduras, and it is done there (it has to do with the plumbing, as another poster said -- everything gets clogged up if you flush it). Never been to Mexico, but I would...

Re: Logic in an atheistic worldview
Hi,
I'm not an atheist, but axioms are so basic and obvious that they are self-evident. Thus, they require no proof. As for where an atheist believes these axioms come from... they simply exist due...

Re: Something Eternal
Hi,
I agree. If our universe is finite, and it has not always existed, it had to be created in some way. I choose to believe in God, and have mostly a deistic view of God. I simply think this is the...

Re: For (kind-of) Atheists
I think the same can be said for God. Religion is definitely a human creation though, therefore it would not exist.

Re: Custer Hand #3(BP): 7 handed, 11BB, 66 from MP
Ehh... I hate these spots. I think I'd push here. Maybe make a ~t400 raise and fold to a push (except from BB of course). If the players after you are loose and aggressive I think folding is best....

Re: Curtains Hand #1 (1C5)- Bubble play
I always forget to use it myself. But I really don't see the point in *not* using it in this instance. You're getting called preflop if you push. You might NOT get called if you simply call preflop...

Re: What do you think of this push?
I don't like it, I think the raise is way too big. I would call, with my 2nd choice being a raise to ~t300 or so. I'd much prefer a call though because I'd hate it if someone pushed over me.

Re: how not to play the bubble by scuba chuck
I'd probably call too, if I didn't bet the turn already. Once he flipped over his ultra-slowplayed then all-in with one-pair 2nd kicker, I'd say 'oh well' and load up another one.
