Default Hello Everyone. I\'m new here.

I've been reading 2+2 books for a few months, and have been reading the forum for about 9 weeks. I used to get a lotta my info from cardplayer, but I find myself more and more dissatisfied with
1. The poor literary style
2. The shallow, basic, contradictory, and sometimes silly advice.
3. The ugly pics that accompany the articles. Some look like mugshots.
4. Scott Fischman
5. The shameless marketing of Cardoza publications

I've recently begun posting, and everyone here seems to know eachother, so I just thought that I would introduce myself, and say that I'm looking forward to posting here, and learning as much as a can from everyone.

Yeah, you certainly will never find this on 2+2.

Again, I've never seen anyone do this here. Btw, Desdia is a prime example of someone who successfully avoided doing this ever.

Well, we here on 2+2 at least realize we're ugly and spare ppl the pics. Also, we're not allowed to post pics of men wearing no shirts as our avatar. This is +EV as most posters are hetrosexual men.

Thankfully 2+2 does no plugging of their own publications. In fact, I think it's pretty clear that Sklansky and Mason are treated completely objectively by everyone on this forum.

"Also, we're not allowed to post pics of men wearing no shirts as our avatar"

You said that was part of a bet??? How long do we have to put up with that pic, I mean maybe a third of the posts in the forum are yours [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

It could just be the 4 crown and sevens I had at lunch at McKormicks, but my boss is giving dirty looks from laughing out loud in my cube at this post. Please stop, you are going to get me fired.
