card holder? You mean card protector right? Or is this some new merchandise I'm not aware of?

By the way "moot" means "debatable" or open for "debate". When you say "that's a moot point " you are saying "the (relevance of the) point is debatable". So

fyp.

On the other hand (and you can correct me) "moot" has become "slang" I think for "irrelevant".

Folding Q of diamonds + 9 of d face up when board is something like:

Ad 7c 2Kd 2h 5d

and saying , " i only have the Q high flush i think you have a better one"

Gay no longer means "happy", it means homosexual, and "moot point" no longer means a point open for debate, it means an irrelevant point.

Language is a living, evolving thing.

Dictionaries can be quite helpful when meanings of words are discussed...

A moot point is an expression meaning that something doesn't matter so there is no point for debate because of certain circumstances. It is either irrelevant/not worth arguing over.

The describes the behaviors of several of the dealers at my local joint.

Acting like they are sweating a decision when they already know what they are doing. Everyone does this, but the worse the player, the worse it looks.

Asks, "who straddled?"

I'm inclined to disagree. I often stare off, often art a tv because it's there but I'm hardly watching. I find it easier to follow the action, I rarely miss a single thing.

I'm calling BS on this one, sorry.

I have zero interest in American sports outside of the Red Wings.

I get more distracted by posting on here and playing words with friends at the table.

The guy who is not paying attention is the last one that should be judging whether he slows down the game or not.

People are really mad over this.

Probably why I was a good online player: heavy multitabling with golf or baseball on tv...golf...baseball...if you can concentrate on either on either these, I'll never be able to explain.

Probably why people live think I'm a bad player.

Probably why people never think I have it, and when money goes in always do.

Probably why I don't I don't try to max value weak hands or end up stacking to "lolbad" coolers.

I also find it uncomfortable always looking at the same 5-7 men for hours. I don't always need to look into your eyes to read your soul. I know your patterns, style, hands shown without starting arty the table the whole time.

I think there is misunderstanding here. Most of us don't care if the TV distracts the players, but we do care if the TV distracts the dealer.

If they aren't in the hand, sure. If they are, it's just as obnoxious as a dealer not paying attention.

My point is what if the tv is not distracting, simply a convenient fixed space to focus on when thinking.

Dealer or player, most internet players are used to 600+ hands per hour. Live at best is like 50 hands per hour. the guy who slows down the table is the problem, not a possible vehicle like tv.

Can't wait for online to be legal again. Do whatever I want on the beach/couch/hotel/airplane playing.

Watching TV and staring at the players aren't the only two options. You may be right, maybe you are the one guy that notices it's your turn every time it gets to you. I'm just saying you could be slowing down the game and not notice it, because I see guys do it every day. Just like everybody thinks they drive and talk on the phone just as well as they drive without being on the phone, and they are wrong.
