None. Theres a thread in NVG about it that a friend linked me to. I live in the boston area and decided id go check it out. I PMed Will on this site asking if I could come, which he was fine with, but MITs classes are open to the public to attend (as are most universitys) you just wouldnt get grades or credits.

Like i said, the class was pretty basic (i definitly could have taught it) but im gonna go back tomorrow to hear Timex guest lecture.

yeah was sitting on my laptop talking to you on skype, just like back when i actually took classes.


Also, if any 2p2ers live in the boston area and ever want to grab a beer or something im always down.

Wow, amazing. They have poker classes now at MIT? For which you actually get credit? Where the hell was this **** when I went to school? In all seriousness though, seems kind of disturbing.

[gadolparah]

thats why the thread in NVG popped up, someone thought it was disturbing. What is really disturbing is theres a second class/competition about creating online poker bots.

From what i gather about how MIT works, they have a winter semester that has 1 month classes that are a little more laid back and extracurricular than the normal classes. It is really cool that they offer Poker 101 for credit, i wish my school did.

You live in Raleigh? Garnerian myself

[DiscoBisco]

yes sir been in Raleigh close to my whole life. Never ventured out into garner too often except to play golf.

[DiscoBisco]

Night went pretty good. Canes lost tho. Goodbye kiss on cheek was reciprocated. I'm such a ****ing ladies man my god.

[thanksb]

make-out or peck?

[DiscoBisco]

peck on cheek. start small. ncsu07's advice. i must say it was pretty good advice. you can recover from a cheek kiss. pretty hard to recover from a mouth kiss that goes awry. it's kinda fun being 28 years old, having 0 game with women, and essentially blogging about it on a poker forum.

[gadolparah]

[DiscoBisco]

C is for Cookie, thats good enough for meeeeeeeeeeee
