I learned one important thing playing poker, no matter cards, pedophiles always win. Ye, I call it like that, coz usually when I spend all day to play some big tourney with over 5k ppl in, and then when i have good position,  I get cards like AA or KK, play all in before river, and some idiot with random cards like 28 pwn me coz he play it and get  triple of 2 or smt like that.  I could not say a word if it happens once twice, or even 100 times, it is poker, all is possible I know.. But wtf if it happens in every f@#!ing tourney?  Should I not play AA or KK ?  Luck is the most important in poker, there is no "skill", of course there is some tactic, cards u play and u fold, but still without luck u will never win.  The f@#!ing gambling is so interesting.. Ppl usually gambling coz at start of their gambling they won some moneys and believed in their luck, same was with me in poker. First 2 tourneys I played, i won... yes, both of them.. It was my beginning at poker, I played before but just for fun, so when I won that 2 tourneys (it was about 5k euro), I continued playing, of course  same tactic etc.. and what?? from years I did not win ANY tourney, i barelly can remember if I even get for payd places..  And now I am about 10 000 euro on MINUS..  As I wish I could loose that first 2 tourneys at beginning..

Sounds like you aren't a very good poker player.  Stop getting it all in with AA and KK.  Just because you are getting it all in with better hand doesn't mean you are playing a sound tournament strategy.  Honestly, I'd quit and play for fun.  You had a good run of cards at the start, and now you are regressing to the mean of the losing gambler.

you mean like any other job in the world?

because I don't enjoy office work even when I'm not doing it everyday

I'd advise you to get a new job then.  I have a job I like to come into every day.

If you can invest 10 hours a day and win money playing poker you shouldn't be miserable. you need big picture algorithms:

with your capital and win rate you should have enough info to give you your ideal min bet tables to go on, this is your income per second, more win rate/more capital = higher min bets. You can also probably come up with the maximun amount of time playing poker per day  before becoming miserable. Providing you're a good enough player you can tweak those values in order to create a proper schedule that allows you to win money and be happy, which might even include plenty of free days a week.

You then compare that to your actual or potential "regular" job and then see what's more rentable to both your wallet and your happiness.

You are missing the point.  Poker just wasn't fun as a job for me.  I could shovel shit with a reasonable conversion rate of shit to shovel capacity with an expected shit output that made it worth my while, but I would still be shoveling shit.  Poker is fun for me again now that I'm not doing it all day everyday. 

I think I once saw a 48 or 49 on this map back when and I was blown away.  Must have been either seb or wargod.  Crazy to think 43 is the number now.  Bar has been raised since then. 

Damn ropa you picked both conference finals series perfectly.  Onto the finals.

Spurs win in 6

just lol

Looks like its hoes before broz

Strikes me as more political than anything.  You could replace "God" and "religion" with "alcohol" in the article and it still demonstrates why the totalitarian government there controls almost every facet of everyday life in a way detrimental to the people.  A good title for the article would be, People getting sentenced to death for some dumbass reason again in this ass-backward country.

These types of religious people make bad examples for this discourse, as do the idiot athiests like the Mussolinis, Stalins, and Hitlers of this world.

Well, apostasy carries the death sentence in Islam according to the Quran and the Hadith; this is at least the majority interpretation: http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Quran/012-apostasy.htm. These kinds of murders really are motivated by belief in specific Islamic doctrine, which of course is not mutually exclusive with them also being politically or culturally motivated. But religion is a key component. Also, Hitler wasn't an atheist. And if you're suggesting Stalin's genocides had anything to do with his atheism, I'd say linking his actions causally with a lack of belief in god would have as much evidence going for it as linking his actions with a lack of belief in UFOs, or any of the other billion things he presumably didn't believe in. Atheism is, after all, just a lack of belief in god, and not a worldview.

Yeah, you didn't read the part where I said Adolph, Benito, and Joseph made bad examples for this discussion because you immediately charged in and asked if I was suggesting a correlation, when clearly I went out of my way to say I wasn't suggesting anything. 

Since atheism is a world view, as you so succinctly put it, it can never be held accountable as paramount in a person's behaviors.  It is like criticizing vacuum in space for a lack of density.  How can an atheist be held accountable for anything, since they so clearly believe in nothing?  At least spiritual people have some accountability.  Atheists need not take responsibility for their actions neither point the finger inward as a result of their actions.   

The main criticism of your defense of atheism is you want to have it both ways, Mablak.  You would have me believe that in one aspect, atheism is a greater promoter of the common good.  But when provided with arguments to the contrary, atheism as a concept dissolves into nothingness, and ceases to be quantified.

You see my issue here.  Your blanket defense is impervious to argument, and it has nothing to do with the sterling virtues of an atheistic life.  It's rather hard to take seriously, as my arguments are hard for you to take seriously.  That is why I've ceased responding to many of the posts here, not because anything has been proven, but rather an insurmountable impasse has been reached. 

In retrospect, it seems rather absurd that we have even mounted the discussion, atheism is clearly not the philosophical equal to religion, not because it is any less valid as a school of thought, but rather one is something, and the other is a lack of something.

The best part is you were so excited by the interaction you ran here to post it on the tus messageboards.  How proud you must have been, lol.  Really underrated move by Fuga here.

Kinda relevant.

QuoteKHARTOUM, May 15 (Reuters) - A Sudanese court has sentenced a 27-year-old woman to death for converting to Christianity, judicial sources said.

Mariam Yahya Ibrahim had been ordered to abandon her newly adopted Christian faith and return to Islam. She had also been charged with adultery for marrying a Christian man.

Judge Abbas al Khalifa asked Ibrahim whether she would return to Islam. After she said "I am a Christian," the death sentence was handed down, the judicial sources said.

A government spokesman said the ruling could be appealed in a higher court.

"Sudan is committed to all human rights and freedom of faith granted in Sudan by the constitution and law," Foreign Ministry spokesman Abu-Bakr Al-Siddiq said. He added that his ministry trusted the integrity and independence of the judiciary.

Outside the court, around 50 people held up signs that read "Freedom of Religion", while some Islamists celebrated the ruling, chanting "God is Greatest".

Students have mounted a series of protests near Khartoum University in recent weeks asking for more freedoms and better social and economic conditions.

Western embassies and Sudanese activists have condemned what they said were human rights abuses and called on the Islamist-led government to respect freedom of faith.

I don't even know what to say. 

Strikes me as more political than anything.  You could replace "God" and "religion" with "alcohol" in the article and it still demonstrates why the totalitarian government there controls almost every facet of everyday life in a way detrimental to the people.  A good title for the article would be, People getting sentenced to death for some dumbass reason again in this ass-backward country.

Speaking of those fellows, I'm a bit glad the allies won the war.  Unrelated, of course.

Sbaffo, the main reason I posted this was because I can't stand and can't understand when someone kicks someone just because he's too good, no matter in what scheme...

Then thread is ironic because you weren't kicked because you were too good, you were just inadvertently being trolled.  In hilarious fashion.

Ehh strikes me as that UK slapstick shit that I really don't get into, acting like a buffoon and such.  To each his own I guess.
