| Gnarly. I forget, do you play online mostly, or do you go out and play tournaments? A buddy of mine played pro online for several years, he was probably making 40K a YEAR, yea I'd say you had a good month. Recently it's been closer to 80% online/20% live. Once I move again it'll probably get back t... |

| Haven't posted in a while, but felt like posting a quick brag because I'm drunk and I can. Won a tournament 3 weeks ago for $30,000, got 3rd in another tournament today for $8,000. I'm having a pretty good month :) Sorry I haven't been posting in PPR at all, I go through phases where it's "politics ... |

| Well, the real difference in playing style has more to do with the stakes you're playing for much more so than the site you're playing on. I haven't played your stakes for quite a long time, so I can't really comment on what you're likely experiencing. However, for me there is some difference. I don... |

| any big wins lately? I've been struggling for the last couple months actually. I've been getting deep a lot, but running into coolers, losing flips, spewing off stacks and only making small cashes. I had a real chance at a huge score in the Sunday Brawl on Full Tilt a little while back. Lost a mons... |

| Mikegee, surveys show that most [voting?] Americans don't want marijuana legal. I agree with your support of the several things you said should be legal, with conditions in certain instances, of course (especially prostition). Politicians will do what most people want here the majority of the time,... |

| Not an issue really. It's kind of annoying that we don't have near-instant transactions like we used to, but the waits are generally pretty reasonable. I usually get checks, but have gotten wire transfers in the past. But don't bet sports. Bad idea. If you're not using "banks and credit card compan... |

| Vibratetogether, big question for you: how are you transferring money? I've researched heavily into gambling on sports, and found that it seems difficult to move money back and forth around U.S. anti-gambling laws. All but bank wire transfers only allow a few thousand dollars at a time tops. I also... |

| Theist- one who believes in God. Atheist- one who is not a theist, ie one who does not believe in God. Atheism is the lack of a positive belief in a deity. It is not necessarily the explicit denial of the possibility of God's existence, often called "strong atheism." There is also "weak atheism" or... |

| Given the options, and my knowledge of probability (which, and you can trust me on this, is much greater than yours), creationism trumps the other explanations, especially considering the various other factors aside from the possibility of life, things that science can only say is coincidence.

| To be clear, you don't believe in the Christian God. Unless you say "there is no god", you aren't an Atheist. I've seen this sentiment a number of times from self-proclaimed Atheists, and it seems silly to me. You are either Agnostic or you are Atheist, just as in the original argument you posted, ... |

| The reason for term limits is a healthy distrust of government and politicians. As was previously mentioned, it has it's roots in our general distaste for monarchy. Er, if the American public really were cautious of having politicians for too many terms, wouldn't it simply be easier to vote them ou... |

| I think I've said more or less what Henriksson is saying at least several times in this forum already. Although, I usually hold the contradiction to be between "all-knowing" and "loving god", such that if God knows all, we lack free will, and if we lack free will, and there is a hell, then were are ... |

| I suppose the short answer would be "she isn't very like-able." I don't like her because I am disgusted by her views, she is a transparent phony politician, and because she is the equivalent of an Uncle Tom for women. This "unlikable" women was elected governor of Alaska. She was well enough liked ... |
