POLL - Iraq across the table (Warning: poker content)

[Cyrus]

From a recent poll on Iraq and Bush’s performance as president :

[ QUOTE ]
CNN -- Nearly six in 10 Americans oppose the war in Iraq and a growing number of them are dissatisfied with the war on terrorism, according to a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll released Monday.

Only 39 percent of those polled said they favored the war in Iraq -- down from 47 percent in March -- and 59 percent were opposed.
<font color="white"> . </font>
In a Gallup poll earlier this month that asked, "All in all, do you think it was worth going to war in Iraq, or not," 56 percent said it was not worth it and 42 percent said it was.

For only the second time in a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll, more respondents than not disapproved of Bush's job performance. The count was 51 percent, the same percentage recorded in the poll on May 7, 2004.

Only 23 percent said they had a great deal of confidence in the Bush administration's ability to protect U.S. citizens from future terrorist attacks, down from 38 percent in February.

The 23% group because they clearly are ignoring short-term variance because they understand the +EV was maximized by the US's actions. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Today, at Foxwoods, I saw the 23 percent talking about their positive EV and the temporary bad beats as they walked back and forth to and from the ATM machine. In their defense they did wave the American Flag and had Factor T-Shirts on.

I racked up their chips, again!

Just because you may recognize long term +EV doesnt mean you are personally capable of maximizing it in your own life. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I prefer the 23% group since their leader has a tendency to put in many chips preflop with bad hands. Then he proceeds to believeing he has the nuts when he only has a 2-outer. Even when drawing dead I think he would consider himself favourite [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img].

Keep your day job.

You want to play against the group you think makes better decisions. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Typical thinking of the 23 percenters. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] That is why they end up as 23 percenters.

Sadam thought Bush was bluffing, boy was he wrong. So when Bush went all in he could of folded, but instead he called then hid in a hole. I rather play against Sadam and the 77% who don't understand the stakes.

Interesting avatar. I suppose you are a big supporter of Turkey joining the EU. I certainly am, as is a friend of mine from Turkey. Just wondering -- you think it will happen?

[/ QUOTE ] No he didn't. Saddam said he had 2-7 offsuit. Bush continued to say that Saddam had cards up his sleeve and would pull out a bunch of Aces.

Bush went in.... Saddam had no aces. Just a measly 2-7 offsuit. Like he said.

[ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ] He was already showing his hand... he showed the world he had no aces up his sleeve. He didn't even have a sleeve. But Bush lied and wouldn't allow him to do anything.

[/ QUOTE ] I'd rathar play against revisionists. They're the kind of people who play call raises with dominated hands, hit a 3 outer on the river and then think they made a good play.

Online - I'll play against "the rest". They have the "fold-to-any-bet" button permanently checked.
