I enjoy pretty much everything from the Onion.

Which reminds me I haven't visited in months. Thanks for the reminder!

Very funny! One more reminder of how great The Onion is.

Indeed. "Stephen Hawking builds robotic exoskeleton" was my favourite, I think.

FYP, and aren't your parents lawyers?

So I guess you were raised by lawyers looking to mend their societal wrongs through their only child.

Amusing, but I hope you don't honestly believe that.

Regardless, I have problems with their position as well.

Well, if the OP is still checking this thread, I'd be curious to know your thought process in going from 2/4 to 15/30. Judging by your timeline, you didn't play any limits in between. Did you judge the games to be the same except for the required bankroll?

IIRC, BK played about 30-40k hands at 3/6 in between. Then moved up to 15/30 because the 15/30 games were better than the 5/10 or 10/20 full and he had the BR for it, so why not.
