Re: Beat - The US Dollar
[ QUOTE ]
The amazing thing here is watching all the non-American posters gloat. I guess basing your national pride on exchange rates is one of those things every country in the world except America is into, like soccer or the metric system. Wonder how long it takes before you all break out in howls of impotent rage: "But, you're humiliated! You lost your life savings! How dare you not notice!" [/ QUOTE ] Maybe you did not notice but OP does not seem very happy about the fact that the US dollar is becoming weaker and weaker. Same goes for most of the nonUS poker players i would guess. It would be great if Party chanced the currency in the real money tables for euros (we could still use the $'s as a substitute for play money). It sucks so much that my roll is constantly taking hits because the US cant keep their economy in balance. Not to mention that i'm sliding down in stakes because of this.

[/ QUOTE ] As a non-american poster, I agree its obnoxious. Claiming americans are above this type of behaviour may be a bit rash though, I mean have you never heard an american crack a joke about Zimbabwan inflation or similar?

Other countries losing wars, sure. BTW, if there's any more domestic inflation than usual, I haven't noticed it. Which probably means this is purely an artifact of the currency markets; either the dollar was overvalued before or it's undervalued now.

Re: Beat - The US Dollar
play on euro or brit sites?
i am seriously considering it - so far as I can see the £1/2 Crypto tables play much the same as the $1/$2 ones at Stars or FTP these days - I know the rake cap is £3 but that only adds a small amount to rake overall - compared to a 2.07 winnings multiplier anyway

We are COMPLAINING that our currencies are gaining in strength relative to the US $ because we play in US $ and hence our bankrolls are worth less. The gloating, at least on my part, is a figment of your apparently sensitive American ego.

There are more factors than domestic consumer inflation that affect the value of a currency. Ratio of foreign debt to GDP comes to mind.

It was: "Re: Beat - The US Dollar [Re: leo.] " So go read what leo. wrote. Or don't. Just throw around insults.
