Marc. Where did you find that? Who cares that much about a poker forum to look up a reference handy guide on how to debate? Is this how your briefed? Is this part of your reference guide when you were hired to shill this site?

Without them we wouldn't be playing it at all imo. It'd have a $10 rake and tax deducted out of every pot if the American government ever got anywhere near it.
'Tis true.

Understand that having the American government prohibit online gambling is founded on the same premise that drove them to prohibit alcohol back in the 1920's, and marijuana now - they don't have a structure to tax it properly.

Though that in itself would make for a whole different thread. I'm sure many winning players wouldn't mind getting taxed reasonably if their session earnings were monitored, because this would mean getting financed for mortgages and cars, etc. would be easier. But it'd be a give and take. Not sure if many would like the risk of allowing government free reign over tax brackets, which by default would be considered to be high from the jump.

As it is now, underregulation of the game online is more profitable for winning players in my opinion, whereas, for most losing players, I could see why they would want more regulation, because they conclude that it would "level the playing field." But that just might never happen, because then gov't would have to establish and enforce records of not only professional poker players, but also of the casual player who only spends $200 a month at the game. Then the issue of what could be written as tax write-offs, etc. With so many casual players vs. pro players, this would be a nightmare to keep records of. Hence the heavy delay with the UIGEA vs. PPA process.

To simply say, "I want regulation!" without understanding the stipulations underlying that statement is not only sounding a horn on the wrong note, but it's also just... ermmm... useless.

Here's our little rigtard back for some more.

Honestly, he really does seem to be too easy.

It's like some sort of cruelty to a dumb animal playing with him.


Clue: If you think a site is rigged:

1) Get the evidence by analysing hand histories.
2) Then come here and present your evidence.

You won't find proof here, how could you?

BTW, is your age (chronological or mental) larger than your shoe size yet?

It isn't a guide on how to debate, it's an assesment table.

Do you see why we cannot take you seriously?

You are a complete buffoon who cannot even understand the fundamental difference between the two things mentioned above.

You might note that we shills do not get paid for engaging with you.

We only get paid for shilling involving people with an IQ slightly higher than that of a constipated wombat.

We debate with you because it is just so much fun to demolish your farcical arguments.

Lying Child Molester,

I linked to where I found it in the post.

What I'd like to know is who cares enough about a rigged game to spend months making idiotic excuses about their failure?

Furthermore, what I like to do when discussing something is research it before saying a bunch of dumb **** and sounding like, well, you. I took a moment to offer you some help on how to debate, but you missed the whole point (again.)

What that explains is how to convince people of your viewpoint. Since you prefer folk tales and derailing tactics to mature discussion, I guess you have no interest in achieving that goal. Your raison d'etre is just to be a contrary troll. You aren't very good at it; quite juvenile in fact.

To be clear, I just pick on you because I'm a mean bastard and look for easy victims like yourself. In fact, you are one of the easiest I've come across in years here - AND YOU KEEP COMING BACK FOR MORE!!!! - which is pretty funny too.

Your dishonesty is appalling as is the way you refuse to take responsibility for your own shortcomings. Sadly, you truly don't seem to understand how stupid you come across to everyone here, so I don't really get the pleasure of hurting your feelings because you just lack the intelligence to be embarrassed by your pathetic actions.

But that won't stop me, so by all means, keep posting obvious lies!

Mark - the two final points you left off seem pretty relevant too.

Preparation - is unprepared to defend argument.

Speaking Voice - (in this case the analog would be spelling and grammar)

thanks for getting my name right!

yeah, they also apply, but they didn't fit too well in a screen shot and I thought 3 points were really too much for tk to absorb, so I didn't want to push my luck with 5, especially because he would've just come up with some silly, off-topic argument about how he wasn't speaking out loud, nor does he care enough to prepare to defend his points to a bunch of Eurotrash.

As it is, he's having enough trouble with what I provided. Perhaps there is a junior high school student in his trailer park he can consult to make it more clear to him

Where's your credibility, Mr. Outlandish Claim?

Are you going to back up your statement that your 80 percenters are losing more than 20% of the time, you piece of **** liar?

Why do you keep avoiding this?

Where's the "okie dokie, you asked for it?"

You're pathetic beyond words.

You guys are mean.

Didn't anyone ever tell you it's wicked to mock the afflicted?

Poor tk1133 obviously has severe learning difficulties and is several sandwiches short of a picnic.

You should leave him alone and let his carers look after him.

The fact that you're unwilling to use as simple a tool as spell-check leads me to believe that you aren't willing or able to use PokerTracker/Hold 'Em Manager and you don't have any data to back up your obvious lies.

You only have your own faulty intellect, which has been PROVEN to be unreliable at best.

Intellect?

You saw signs of an intellect?

Have you been using the electron microscope again?

I type very fast too, and I even use proper spelling and grammar in IMs. Typing fast is all the MORE reason to.

Also people take you less seriously when you don't. But obviously you don't worry about that.

Goddammit. It's people like you that not only encourage the rest of the world to hate Americans, but for Americans to hate ourselves.

I hope most of the people in this forum that aren't American don't think you're a standard example of how most Americans act.

Whoda thunk it?

tk1133 from this thread:
"I guess we're bad players and ******s for losing consistantly when we're over an 80 percent favorite to win...that solves it for me. I shoulda known..."

Steven Mears in the thread linked to above:

Sooo owned!

Sooo busted!

Crawl away and dissolve like the slug you are, Mears.

I assume this means that you're afraid to post your screen name b/c you think your (rigged, obv) poker sites will throw the doomswitch on you in retaliation, huh?

you really think your opinion means enough to them to do something to get you back?

why would they care what a paranoid mongoloid says? it's not like anyone listens to ya...

His name is Steven Mears the well known shill for 'realdeal' poker.

The hypocracy of this ****** is breathtaking!

I wonder if he will have sufficient vestige of shame to retire this name.

Will we see another newbie obsessive ****** appear shortly (sooperfish, anyone?)
