My ranking of candidates from best to worst: Paul, Romney, Obama, Gingrich, Santorum.

I think debates between Romney and Obama would be pretty interesting and I could be persuaded either way.

Yea they'd both talk a lot about nothing relevant then do nothing when they won

Is it just me or has the pool of people running for President (republicans and democrats) the past 15 years or so been incredibly bad? Surely this can't be the best of the best?

$1k-$2.5k usually in a week.
larger amounts it can take between 2 and 6 weeks to process.. if you get the wire order in toward the end of a month (not after the end of the month), the turnaround time would be around 2 weeks.

btw lock is coming up with wires as well soon.

Dumb question. Djo knows everything.


The question is, will he share some of that wisdom with us.

When I posted it, there were like 8 tables running, each with waitlists 9+ deep. If those waitlists became must move tables, there would have been at least 8-12 more tables running. By not having to wait for my turn to come up on the waitlists to be able to start playing immediately, my volume would increase.

So why not open a table?

Except that the 9+ players on the wait list are the same for each table. So there wouldn't be 8-12 more tables running, there would be 1 more table running.

I think the biggest problem with must move tables is that many people play short sessions and move around on-line. So a must move would get started and probably break within 10 mintues.

In live poker, people play long sessions, so the main game takes a long time to filter people in and out. Couple that with the fact that the waiters want to be playing but don't have other options except just sitting there doing nothing.

On-line, you can just move up, down or to 6-m or HU or find another table while you're waiting. Or start your own table. There's really no need to wait for something to happen. You might want to wait for a better table. Or if you prefer FR to 6-m, you might start with a mix of tables, and then hit the FR as they become available (or vise-versa).

Either way, I just don't see must-moves working well.

I understand your frustration. I hope you continue to run good at 100nl, at least until I start playing there regular. I'm hoping that happens sometime end of Feb. BBJ should be back over 200k by then (hoping).

I still think creating new tables with all the players on each waitlist would be better but, you may be right.

So I offered him 2:1 that obama is reelected, he declines, then I made it 3:1 and then 4:1 and he still won't bet. Sick guarantee huh.

I don't see how you can possibly like Obama at this point.

well who would take that bet on a rigged election? obama has millions of mexicans that he helped get into this country on the premise that they vote democrat, and lets not forget about the blacks. 99% of them vote for obama.

I dislike Obama because he has carried on many of the Bush policies of foreign wars we should not be in, trampling on our liberties, and increasing gov't influence into our personal lives.

While I don't think think Romney will be any better in these areas at least he is a smart businessman who can hopefully get some of this spending under control.
01-27-2012 , 03:12 PM
obama is only -165 to win the election, at least on the one online sportsbook i just checked. that means vegas only expects him to win ~60% of the time (or that republicans are stupid)

I'm confused by this "control the spending" thing. If the bush tax cuts never happened, nor those wars, then our deficit wouldn't be so bad.

If the financial markets weren't lacking regulation and the markets hadn't crashed, then unemployment wouldn't be bad. The bad unemployment causes less tax revenue to flow in while causing a huge increase in people claiming safety net spending. If that hadn't happened our deficit wouldn't be bad at all.

The only real issue we'd have is health care costs (and possibly education costs). Now the new health care bill left a lot to be desired, but at least it was an attempt, and hopefully more can be built off of it.

I always get confused when I hear run away spending, but it always seems like any examples I read are always puny amounts of money compared to the GDP.

So what spending are we trying to control?

Well I'm not sure how you can say "if everything in the last 8 years happened a different way then our deficit wouldn't be so bad."

The money spent on war is not puny. Bush started it, Obama continued it. How can you not count that? The money spent bailing out the car industry/banks was not puny.

The social security program is a ****ing joke.

Like Ron Paul stated last night, we need to end the warfare/welfare state.

Also, the US has been in debt since it started. So yes, even if those things hadn't happened we would still have a bad debt.
