Re: Handling 10 10 early.....help
Easy fold. You made a big mistake by raising that amount, which gives them no reason to fold. What was your reason for that raise?
The thing to do is to realize you are OOP, call, and see what the...

Re: Is Mankind Smart Enough?
I had a million "Yeah, buts...", but only time will tell. 100 years ago they would have never seen us where we're at now.
As long as the distractions don't capture 100% of our progeny, there will...

Re: Is Mankind Smart Enough?
We've only been asking questions for a few thousand years, and (I think) we've come a long way. We don't know how long the road is. We still don't really know what the important questions are.

I've learned that when I'm playing my hand straight and it's semi-strong but the board isn't cooperating, to give the villain credit for what he's representing. Trust your gut.

Re: River bet with AA?
Yeah, I'm humbled by the top card pairing after the CC on the flop. I'd check the turn just to see what he does on the river. Stack sizes going in mean a lot, and they limit the options. Villain...

Re: late in multi..how long do you wait
I think you rushed in. You're ignoring the hands between this one and the button where you have 6600 (and the free hands afterwards).
"M" is a term I wish I saw less, I don't think it's helpful...

Re: River bet with AA?
Since this is early, I'm guessing you each have about 700ish left? If so, check behind unless you can call an all-in. The pots nice when its yours or you have something left if he was fishing for a...

Re: WMDs and Bush - Lie or mistake?
Actually, it's very different. It would be similar if we had provided Stalin with technology and resources, he fought Hitler, and we just hoped that he won. Supporting Hussein was always wrong.

Re: WMDs and Bush - Lie or mistake?
I voted lie based on hearing Colin Powell's presentation of the evidence. I can't remember all the details, but I heard it on NPR. I really respect him. I could tell his heart wasn't in it when he...

Re: Proof that NotReady is wrong.
Am I the only one who thinks we need to lay off Not Ready? He's stated his position clearly, and he handles himself well in discussions.
I object to the recent crop of Not Ready-bashing threads.
