Never.

I do enjoy the times where my better play makes me gamble on a +EV base. In a Pot limit omaha game yesterday, I won a big pot, where me and another playerput all our chips to the middle, and I was favourite (And I won.Otherwise I might not have enjoyed it as much).I try to get my adrenalin high, and satisfy my need to gamble that way.

When all the chips are in the pot, and you know "all" that has to happen, is that your opponent do not catch on the river (Or you have to catch one of 20 cards yourself), I get the feeling you long for, but on a +Ev base. (At least sometimes.)

Is it true then, that it is never to late to turn to God?

God will also understand why I didn't believe in him.

He'll send me to hell for other reasons.

Default He didn\'t say that.

He didn't say they were the invention or governments, just that they were the tools.

And I am not saying that this is always the case, but all the widely known religions have been used for this. They have been used for other things also.

ignorance can be bliss sometimes. sometimes i start thinking about the world, the universe, philosophising to myself, and i think myself into deep depression about how existence is meaningless.

Daryn,

Then you know how unique you are. You know how easily there could be nothing. That doesn't bring a smile to your face?

Peace,

I've got a close friend, beautiful blonde girl(still not sure if this is + EV or -EV), who loves the Monopoly slot machines. Have I ever pissed away a $100 bucks there to make her happy? I have found this -EV play can often lead to a ++EV situation later in the night.

Also these negative expectations can become self fulfilling prophesies. If one believes they will fail a test, often it becomes more likely that they will fail that test.
