Sure am! Who you voting for? Guessing UKIP you big racist.

Also do you fold 44 otr?

What's ur 3 bet % from blinds? Just curious.

Nah, I'll be voting labour so I'm not sure how I feel about SNP votes.

And I don't fold 44 but I'm a fish.

If SNP let the tories in, they will never be forgiven

Wee Nicola'd never let that happen! Hope she has another referendum on her 2016 manifesto!

Will check later Yoshimii any thoughts on 44 hand?

Something I'd like to ask is how you constitutionally justify another referendum? Will there be a different, new public voting in it?

One of the rare spots I'd say it's fine to fold set vs a fish in 44 hand. Think I prefer it to calling.

You got value owned :P

No but I think there'll be a lot of people who weren't able to see through Cameron's, Darling's & more importantly Gordon Brown's utter bull**** that was spouted throughout the entire referendum that now will. The amount of people that voted no for independence that are now voting for SNP is staggering. I know that doesn't necessarily mean that they'll all be yes voters all of a sudden, but a lot of them will have been hoodwinked by Cameron & Darling's patronising mollycoddling and Brown's "vow" that was just fkng nonsense from start to finish.

Take 3 minutes to watch this. The advert itself is a genuine video made by the "better together" campaign during the referendum, I mean wtf actually is that? The subtitles have obviously been added by a yes voter...

After typing out the above I realise how devastated I still am Scotland voted no

Yeah, that video's obviously complete rubbish. I still don't think a yes vote would be fantastic for Scotland, but I'll be honest, the little I knew about the subject, I forgot. My friends (who are tories but clever nevertheless) inform me that any oil money would be nullified, assuming an equivalent tax system, from the loss of the favourable Barnett formula but I'd like to hear a counter-argument.

Still heartbroken at the referendum outcome myself.

This general election campaign has highlighted how toxic westminister politics is. Cant believe 55% voted to remain part of it

Hopefully the actions of he 3 main parties reinforces to the Scottish electorate just how little they think of us and ensures that the next referendum will be a resounding YES!!

Scotland having the barnett formula is unfair to the other nations of the UK, it is not actually beneficial to Scotland.

Scotland as a country contributes more in tax revenue than we actually get back from westminister. We would survive just fine as an independent nation.

Doesn't look to be the case.

Not really sure what you are trying to show tbh.

Spending per capita higher in Scotland than elsewhere; Scotland contributes slightly less than the average per capita in taxes (8.2/8.3 < 1).

That is without revenues from Oil and Gas.

With Oil and Gas included Scotland accounts 9.9% of UK public sector revenue

Ah fair. Comprehension fail.

Is it not still a bone of contention as to whether the north sea oil would be split geographically or on a population basis?

Not entirely sure myself where the lines are drawn and no doubt it would be debated if Scotland ever voted yes, but that 9.9% figure is based on the current agreed geographical lines

i find the concept of SNP and Plaid completely baffling and somewhat ironic. the amount of coverage they've got during the elections is ******ed too.

Cool, appreciate it. Thanks.

SNP are on track to destroy Labour in Scotland, that in itself is very deserving of coverage

Glad to hear she will cave in to Labours terms for a coalition, coz she would never be forgiven!
I think that soundbite might come back and bite her in the arse.

Ty for the politard derail boys, rly enjoyed it. Also anyone who isn't from the UK and has a vague-ish interest in the referendum etc, pls pls do watch that Youtube video I posted above.

Back to poker... I played a second session of the day this evening. For the past week or so I have been focusing on playing as well as I can, and have been running rly badly. Tonight in 700 hands I managed to play D- and run very well in a few 'get it in bad' spots. The tides are a-turning, finally! There have been signs over the past couple of days, but hopefully the end is near, and I can have a really strong May. Lawd knows I need it. Graph is out, I finished up like $10.



Also, the dudes that stake me have suggested I try tilt breaker. I downloaded and installed, signed in etc, and within 1 second of it being on my screen (no exaggeration, was legit less than second), I misclicked a couple of buttons and locked myself out of the games for 3 hours. Me and accidental self-exclusions...

3 months and 7 days til I can play on Stars again. Me at the thought of it...

this pretty much sums up my thoughts

and gl with pokers

It's strange that in a situation often likened to a marriage on the rocks where one side is thinking of getting a divorce, that when one side is clearly disliked by (a large portion of) the other it shouldn't also be considering the same.

I'm English, admire the Scottish history of invention and rue the way that country has been run down over many decades by a lack of investment (the same is true of many other parts of the UK of course). I think Scots should have the opportunity to redefine themselves as more than a limb of the UK now that they have a credible leader, though its deep sectarian divisions, somewhat papered over by a mutual dislike or distrust of the English, are a cause for concern.

Anyway, on with the poker and good luck getting back on track.

i f*cking hate politics, every side just cherrypicks data to support their own party with labour and conservative talking more about the other party than themselves.

also the fact that every ****** in the country all of a sudden thinks they are an expert in economics annoys me too. also that article doesn't cite sh*t hmj and when an article is so blatantly bias as that then i'm not going to accept those 'facts' as gospel

From the policies I know about the SNP I quite like them but it would be an utter joke if they pushed for another referendum in the next few years.
