OT: Which poker discipline requires the greatest skill? - Page 4

And while we're talking, how bout this one, as a PSA:

The idiom is, "I COULD'NT care less". If you oculd care less, then you do indeed care.

By the way, the reason that people wish other people would learn grammar was best stated by Gigabet in his famous response to Irie (paraphrased): "If I have to correct your english, then you aren't paying attention to detail. Few if any poker professionals are the type to ignore the small details."

Anyone catch the grammatical mistake in the post? I would like it to be known as 'creative license'.

Therefore, if you can't spell you should probably just always use "yer" like daliman does.

I remember reading some article or whatever where the author described the needed skills in relation to the amount of information available. In 5 card stud you have the game with the most information, that is close to full information. In 5 card draw you have no information about cards, this is close to no information. The author's oppinion was that both of these games depends too much on the cards dealt and you had to find the most skill-demanding game somewhere inbetween these to extremes.
Sorry bout my crammar, english isn't my native thong.

I agree that HORSE cause you need to be well rounded in all games. RAZZ is just a fricken headache at times in my opinion. I like PL a lot. Im starting to warm up to limit and starting to like it but I think limits kind of easy to play personally.

This is such an easy push, I'm stunned no one has submitted it.

The greatest skill is required to get a bad beat post past the average 2+2 member. It is perhaps impossible, as no one has ever successfully pulled it off.

Dragons and unicorns and "this is not a bad beat post"--oh my.

How about "unthaw"?

Not a word, thaw should be used.

You have to love trolls on the internet. Before you post, perhaps you should spend some time looking it up. If you want to argue that irregardless is sort of like slang, or ebonics, then there's an argument. One that I will continue to take the opposite position than yours - due to its absurdity.

From Dictionary.com

[ QUOTE ]
Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so .
