Let me get this straight. You have been registered at this forum for more than 4 years, have less than 800 posts, and you posted a response to this?
Pip is a character from some Charles Dicken's novel.

WHAT IS A PIP ON A CARD??? [/ QUOTE ] Indices (the numbers in the corners) did not appear on playing cards until about the 1860s. Just a point of information.

Re: negreanu\'s column: tells comment?
I know what DN is talking about and I'd guess I'm susceptible to this, but doubt I've ever been exploited by it.
I look at the opposite corners of the cards as soon as I get them, then wait my turn to look at the actual values. This way, I'll know something about my hand and get excited about the possibilities. For example, if I look at two "none across" cards, I know I've got aces 1/11 times. Awesome! Same for looking at two paint cards, it's 3/11 that I've got a big pocket pair. Looking at a none-across and a paint could be AK and could be J2. Playing live is really boring to me compared with playing 4 tables at once online. It's kinda stupid, but it passes time.
