Re: Albums that needed a few listens
Radiohead's new album In Rainbows was like this for me. Nothing grabbed me in the first few listens but now I like listening to it from start to finish over and over.

Re: Official Party Regulars Thread
It's a shame you can't jump seats to get position on someone any more, but it's a small price to pay to eliminate the shortstackers, I guess. I really wish they'd implement a 'request seat change'...

Re: How Many people can beat 5/10+ Online?(LC)
I would suspect that there are many thousands of people across all poker sites earning a living at 5/10 and up. There are probably quite a few high stakes live players that could beat it too.

Re: moving up to mid stakes ...
The biggest adjustment I noticed at NL400 was a large increase in preflop aggression with routine squeezing and four-betting happening a lot more frequently than at lower levels.
