US online gambling ban

[Riesen]

You're saying "why complain, just get the law overturned" and that doesn't make any sense. He spent 30 seconds complaining here. That's not enough time to put a stamp on a letter and walk to the mailbox, nevermind write a letter to a senator, which would never be read anyway, and if it were read, would make no difference. If he wants to gamble online it's a much better use of his time to find a loophole, which was the overriding point of his post anyway.

So...path of least resistance? Okay. I thought trying to the ban lifted was probably a better idea, but okay, I guess the loophole will be better. Bye, thread.

Well, looking at your president i'm not particularly surprised by anything usa does anymore. PWNED sleepy :P

How is it a better idea when it wouldn't accomplish anything, and Sleepy's goal is to gamble online, not become a supreme court judge or some shit?

Getting the ban lifted would accomplish everything; it would allow legal, online gambling again, which is what Sleepy ultimately wants.

Very few people can just get cold tells or reads on people, and it's mostly just hype. There's much more reliable information in the player type and the betting pattern. The most good players can do is tell what type of player you are without you having played a hand, which is, however, quite a lot of information. I've had people lose a lot of money to me because they "thought they had a read on me." I've also made some amazing folds because I knew it was someone who played really tight and wouldn't be raising without a hand better than mine.
It's like the same way you can tell a guy is a douchebag without him ever saying a word.

When we get down to two or three people you can easily bluff your way to winning the pot. I find that the game becomes more psychological at this point, it's all about bull shiting and getting lucky when there's two of you.

fat fucking chance of that happening. It's basic American economics, when the government isn't getting it's cut it deems the action irrefutable and wrong.

Okay then, but at least it's a nice idea.

Maybe you play with people who are bad at short-handed or heads up play.

the shitty thing is that these Poker companies are willing to pay American taxes, but the govt wont accept their money.

Apparently it's immoral, but then again, you can still play at casinos.

[Chao.]

There are far more immoral things I could be doing on the internet that they will never be able to outlaw.

Riesen then went on to:

Is it just me or does every single user of internet forums who declares that they're not posting in a thread anymore go on to keep fucking posting?

It's like quitting Subspace!

If people didn't single-out something I said, I would've never responded back. That's usually how conversations work, you know? Oh...conversational and basic English skills escape you? Not that surprising.
