Re: New York Poker Players To Protest NYPD Raids
"Haven't heard this name in a while. I played him in chess a couple of times, about 8 years ago."
Are you Tim Mirabile, who beat me in a very theoretical Sicilan Najdorf at the Nassau CC? If so,...

Re: New York Poker Players To Protest NYPD Raids
Do you grasp the significance of what you're saying? Do you understand that they give you a receipt for your possessions when you go to jail for a heinous crime? You believe that the police can steal...

Re: New York Poker Players To Protest NYPD Raids
This post raises an important point. Our purpose in protesting the raids is to assert our right to play cards. We want to discourage cop-bashing. The NYPD, for the most part, does an excellent job...

Re: New York Poker Players To Protest NYPD Raids
I 'm the guy who brought the police raids on the two biggest Manhattan poker clubs to the attention of the Libertarian Party. Naturally, I'd be very grateful to any poker players who take the trouble...

Re: Editing in Getting Started in Hold \'Em
I'm a big fan of 2+2 books. More importantly, I actually buy them. The information they contain is reliable and the authors are, well, authorities (David Sklansky's work raises the overall standard...

Re: Editing in Getting Started in Hold \'Em
Well, you're right. My excuse--laziness-is a bad one. I will be more attentive to the appearance of my text in the future. In my defense, I once separated paragraphs with great care for a posting on...

Re: Editing in Getting Started in Hold \'Em
Ed,
I probably should have prefaced my criticisms with a resounding statement of overall approval. You've written a very good book, one that I'd heartily recommend to anyone seeking to learn to...

Re: Editing in Getting Started in Hold \'Em
A rather unintelligent contribution. There are no run-on sentences and I usually don't bother with paragraph breaks in hastily written comments posted on the net. Probably I'm just lazy. I guess some...

Editing in Getting Started in Hold \'Em
I should begin by mentioning that I am one of the two people who have proofread all three editions of Don Schlesinger's classic, Blackjack Attack. The significance of this spectacularly uninteresting...

Re: Typo in Sklansky Column
You guys had me worried. Mike, if you're ever in New York City, I'll buy you a pint of Guinness and introduce you to a fantastic Irish card magician at a pub called Cronin & Phelan's.

Re: Typo in Sklansky Column
In my original post, I attempted, in all innocence, to point out a typo in David Sklansky's most recent column. I never considered the possibility that I was instigating a debate---I mean, what is...

I'm afraid I have to throw in the towel. I just don't understand what you're driving at. It really isn't all that complicated. Really.

Re: Typo in Sklansky Column
You need to read more carefully. You'll notice that you consider that the answer might be 19. Sklansky writes: "To get the right answer, you would in fact have to subtract the number of redheaded...
