The thread should die......

But first............What the Hell is Learn Pokers problem?

I am an idiot? I am just telling something I heard and tried once. I gotta be honest...I browse a lot of forums, but this one seems to be one of the few where people start flaming people for no reason at all. It's utter bullshit.

Learn Poker is the idiot.......people who ttack people simply because the disagree with what they say are one of the main problems with this world.

I am geting sick of this crap.

I am sure that now ten other people will pile on and attack me, but its not the 1st time this has happened simply because I chimed into a conversation. There are some genuinely nice people on this forum who I enjoy bantering with and trading stories....but there is a severe level of assholes also.

Why would you ever bet on a double green table? There are tables with only one green on them aren't there?

I thouroughly disagree with the system you posted before about doubling your bet, but I'm not about to jump on you explaining how I am superior and you are inferior and incapable of doing math.

Stick it through, can't let every asshole you run into tick you off. You won't live very long if ya do.

Don't worry Ant, I enjoy reading your posts. Next time it happens, send the quote in a PM to one of the mods. I'm not very observant, so I didn't see any of these previous episodes, and I'm too lazy to look for them.

It's all good tilt.....

I think i was just a little hyper-sensitive that day...normally i wouldn't give a rats ass if someone called me an idiot.

I enjoy the sight and ain't going anywhere.

Today's been a little slow at work so i think i may have made like 15 posts today.....gotta be careful.

You have $50 on the roullette table. Your goal is to hit $100. If you hit $80 you win, if you bust you lose. What's the best method? Hint: Putting it all on black/red isn't it.

i don't know. i don't really know much about roulette besides the stats problems we did with red/black. and it's summer. i'm not gonna think this hard. someone else can do it.

Just to throw a couple of things in:

1] There was a program on tv a month ago over here on Andy Bloch (pro poker player) -he apparantly set up a team of card counters (all from MIT) and successfully busted casinos to the point that he is no longer allowed toplay BJ at any major casino. Card counting in BJ is very easy- I didn't understand it until I saw the program.

2] At the moment a good alternative to poker whoring is to play out bonuses at net casinos that allow bj (I do this myself). It is very lucrative - but brain death results pretty quickly I'm sure if you play it too long.
