An interesting book to read related to this would be "Jews, God, and History" by Max Dimont.
Does it matter if it happened?

Re: A suckers bet
Whoa....did I ever make a mistake. I did the calculation a long time ago.

Re: Why Don\'t Jews Believe In Original Sin
Thankyou. As I said it was my take on it. Didn't go consult with anyone on the matter or reference any text.

Re: Stud 8- 3rd street/bring-in situations
High pairs below Aces are money losers. Frankly, I look for games where I see people playing high hands since those tables are the most profitable. They can be played under some circumstances, but...

I'm not a prop and not a floorman. I do play there enough to know the floormen, who some of the props are, and who some of the hosts are. I also play there enough to know who...
