Re: Freaky Thing About Gravity

Don't have a clue. I wiki'd it and there isn't anything at all in there. What's strange is that encyclopedias seldom devote more than a line to the fact that nobody has a clue why gravity works. ...

Freaky Thing About Gravity

Did you know that scientists have absolutely no idea about what causes gravity? None whatsover. I'm not making this up.

Sure, they can model what gravity does in a particular case, but not a...

Re: PF Math for Dummies

No, I was asking about the average rank of the HIGHEST card in a two card hand. It's got to be something like Jack or Queen.

PF Math for Dummies

What's the "average" rank of the highest card in a two card hold'em hand? Is there a difference between the mean, median, and mode?

Re: What\'s your biggest downswing?

I too feel better after reading this thread. I'm on a -275BB downswing in limit, the biggest of my "career." I feel alternatingly sick, disgusted, impotent, cheated, and worthless.

Re: At which point do I lay down KK?

You played fine right up until you folded the river. You'll win way more than 1 in 7.75 to justify a call.

Re: NO MORE STATS POSTS

My game has improved more by identifying particular stats that were way off from the 2+2 norm than reading all the hand analysis posts combined.

I trust it enough to say, you've lost, give it up, next hand. Save your big calls for the aggressive players.

Re: a few interesting river stats
