Re: $80M Game?!?
Yes, Sugar, that's why I wrote after the first appearance of the 0.45 "[or thereabouts, depending on the effective marginal state and local income tax rates in Texas]"--because it didn't seem worthwhile to spend a lot of time investigating state and local tax rates in various Texas locales, and the same analysis in any event holds true using just the 0.39 federal marginal rate...

Re: $80M Game?!?
Yes, noted, and if that were the only consideration, I would now consider moving directly to Texas.
However, as a relatively new user, perhaps I could suggest that the analytical forest takes precedence over the trees... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: $80M Game?!?
Questions:
How did this thread manage to attract so many posters that have less than 10 posts? Why are they so certain of the possible problems and outcomes? How would I become so confident of my opinions, without watching the previous battles? What does this do to the book scheduled to come out that is all about the last "Big" game between Beal and the Corporation? Just wondering............ [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: $80M Game?!?
Truth be told, this thread actually prompted me to register, since I had something incremental to add (otherwise was just quietely reading stuff from time to time but not posting...)
Although, as you might imagine, people can become confident of their opinions in any number of ways that do not necessarily involve witnessing poker arguments on twoplustwo... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ] What precisely is the number of posts required before one can become the arbiter of what constitutes a worthy comment on the discussion? 369? If we assume that ABs opponents are top players, then isn't it a reasonable assumption, without knowing more, that AB is a significant dog here (depending on the structure, of course)?

[img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] You know, I've spend a huge amount of time wondering the same thing, having written that book. I've had several people connected with publicity for my publisher give their opinions and they've split down the middle: half says it dates the book, and the other half say the publicity will jack up sales tremendously. It's out June 2, so buy it QUICKLY! MC P.S. - Not to shill TOO MUCH, but from the types of posts in this thread, you guys ought to love the book. A lot of it is occupied with your questions and concerns: how much of a favorite are the pros? How good a player is Beal? Who negotiates better? Is this game better than some other game they could be playing? Etc.

Re: $80M Game?!?
Now, given the amount of free buzz we're generating here for you by discussing the topic in the first place, shouldn't you be shooting us each a free autographed copy of this book? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
I'd like the autograph in mine to read: "Pokergripes, if you think you know so much about nlh, why aren't you playing more big events and taking down huge wins on tv by now?? Your pal, Mike" [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
