College isn't for everyone and poker isn't the only way out. I've been in college for awhile and I've seen...

Re: Hand values in maniac games
My normal live game plays like this and I do well in it, so I'll just say what I do.

Re: Tekken 4 - Best Character
The best character in Tekken 4 by the end was Jin and it wasn't really close. Steve was pretty good also, as were Paul and Nina, but Jin basically killed everyone.
