I know some poker players have problems with grammar, metaphors, hyperbolas and other complex constructions of the English language, but I didn't expect it would take so long for someone to even think about this -- that I might be talking figuratively.
I do not play cash games (anymore). I had about 2.5k roll for cash games which I depleted, mostly running really bad (I posted some of the hands in the NL-LS live forum.) I play donkaments, and I'll keep playing them forever since I do have other income (unlike some folk here which after Black Friday have nothing better to do than to wait for FTP to give them a roll and post on this forum.) and so far for live I'm +$500 after some 45 donkaments (so really ****ty hourly.)

If your idea of restaurant is Denny's and the like, ya probably that's what you're going to find. I know for a fact (cousin is a Chef at a high-end restaurant in La Jolla) that not all restaurants in California have mexicans in the back. As a matter of fact this particular one has 0 mexicans working in the kitchen (and I believe 0 waiters are mexican too.) If it's a Mexican restaurant (adn there's only a few that are good in town) then by all means have a Mexican chef. When you're selling sushi that's prepared by mexicans then you have an issue IMO.

First of all it's not even comparable with Outback. Or rather it is comparable, but the comparison is O11 < Outback.
But Outback is not a good restaurant. That's what I'm saying. The food is not bad, if you have really low standards. If you're a virgin a truck-stop hooker that'll give you a blowjob for $20 is a great deal, whereas someone who is dating a playmate will probably not think it's a great deal at all.

Funny that you mentioned that. At the Cali state championships there was one guy who was playing all the HS donkaments and had shoes that were ripped apart, a $5 t-shirt from Old Navy and 20-yo jeans. Guy was playing for tens of thousands constantly, but he was backed so he was effectively getting $10 / hour. He couldn't even afford shoes
For him O11 food is probably the best thing he can ever hope for, unless he binks a WSOP or something
