Ouch (again). King James has spoken. I am abrasive. I am not welcome. You take a poll on that dude, or you just having a 2+2 tilt?

And, for the record, your analysis is so bogus that even my college-age son picked up on it: Dad, he said, maybe you could lose a lot more than the 1 sb if you get a tough situation on the flop, like facing 2 bets with a flush or straight draw. You could get sucked into this so easily since the only way you can fit into the King's scenario is if you flop the straight flush or miss totally. Neither of these situations is a certainty. If that guy was so smart he would do a Bayesian analysis on the various outcomes.

Smart kid, huh! I'm gonna stake him and hope one day he gets to meet some of you pontificating experts over the felt.

So while I don't take you tilt personally, you should be a little more circumspect before you shoot your mouth off; the foot that steps into may be your own.
