Remembrance Day is the most important holiday of the year IMO. To all the Canadians and others who gave their tomorrows for my todays, I thank you. The torch will indeed be held high.

Harder to get away with murder these days. Deters a lot of people. A little off topic, but noted poker writer David Sklansky in his book "Poker, Gaming and Life" opines that it is not the people that actually kill people that are to be despised, for they are sick (they would have to be to make...

In order to analyze the gun issue, just think of the boundary conditions. If no one had a gun, would the world be a safer place? If every person had a gun, would the world be a safer place? Perhaps I'm a left wing extremist, but I think guns should be illegal. Maybe I'm naive, but where I...

Thanks very much for the help and sorry for the late reply. This is a third year "advanced calculus" class and I was privy to the connected set theorem. I suck (relatively anyway, compared to phys/astr) at math, getting through this final major math class will be quite a challenge to get my...

Sorry for no description of the type of question, but I'm so out to lunch on this stuff I don't even know what I'd call it. Ok, so I'm not looking for answers here, I'd just appreciate being pushed in the right direction. Suppose that f : R -> R is continuous and one-to-one (that is, x1 != x2...

"F*** community college, let's get drunk and eat chicken fingers!"

I have the solution, but I don't think I'm allowed to post it. Just give me the answer you got and I'll tell you if you're right.

The BNL song "When I Fall" has the line "9.8 straight down" in it. I always liked that.

Sometimes I feel like I missed out by going to school in my hometown. But then I remember the tens of thousands of dollars I'll save and the debt I won't have and I figure I did the right thing.

I justify the cost of books with the notion that they are not just to be used for the course, but as reference texts in whatever my future endeavours may be.

I don't play my home game anymore. And when I did, I surely didn't play 65s from early position. That would be an insurmountable error, because of the extreme short stacks we played with. In short stack games, big cards rule. 65s is played profitably from early position in almost all games...

That is an ignorant analysis. Do you see why? (Borrowing DS's favourite quote there LOL!) And I play 65s from early position. And I won't play A8 unless I get a free play from the BB or if I am the first raiser in the CO/button. I used to play with my friends quite a bit. Now hardly ever. The...

Good players rarely see more than 20-25% of flops in full ring. A lot see sub 20.

As you get better as a player, you are able to play more hands. But as a person just learning the game, you should not be playing many hands at all. It depends on the structure of the tournament, and some home game tournaments have ridiculous structures that dictate a ridiculous strategy (I know...

Here's another excerpt of a post I made on the PSO forums, this one is a little more positive. The post is concerning how to become a better player.
