Re: Dumbest cashier ever? (TR kinda-sorta)
Ok. I buy groceries, check the receipt -- I go to this
place regularly and know they're error-prone -- and
notice that they've charged me for some bananas I didn't

Re: empiremaker2 is playing 2-4 nl right now
Nh. That aside, your faith in brokers is touching but a tad misguided imo. And sure, if you invest right -- i.e. get lucky -- your capital might increase 20-fold over 50 years. What if you...

Re: empiremaker2 is playing 2-4 nl right now
It's plenty if you're a cat. If you're a human, and your tastes tend towards the frugal, and you don't ever plan to get seriously ill or have kids or live in a big metropolis,it might be adequate. ...

Re: empiremaker2 is playing 2-4 nl right now
I wonder if people have really thought through the maths of retiring at a young age on a fixed sum. You can't use the "headline figure" of 5% or whatever interest you think you can safely earn as...

Re: question about HSP
Terrible call at the end by Jennifer H, no?
The only hand that could beat her was 8J, which

Re: Is This Cheating?
It's cheating to look at someone's cards; it's cheating
not to warn them if they're exposing them to you. If
you try it in one of my poker games your name will be

Re: Ongame Network unexplained payout delays
My payout finally arrived, though as of late last week at least two other players were still owed. (If ONPC's comments on the blog are right, it's only these two who are now owed.) Ongame...

Re: Poker Question From Apak
Ok, so we have more than one line of thought here.
One question is whether you can do anything, other

Thanks very much for the responses so far, which I've
