But I'm NOT posting on behalf of the poker industry. I love poker and would like to see if thrive, but I've made pretty clear that I get a kick out of this thread (much of the time, when it doesn't suck) and like talking about critical thinking skills. Try and find a post of mine supportive of the poker industry. In fact, what you hear me say is: Let's assume they are crooks: now what?

You post through the day at work = you now admit you don’t play poker you have a job. why post.
I've never claimed to be a pro and have always said that I'm a casual microstakes player. My posting history makes that clear as well - any hands I've posted have been in uNL.
I like posting on forums. This isn't my only one and the others I post on have nothing to do with poker. You can find me easily by googling Arouet and Post.
I've got a very stressful job and post during the day for mental breaks. At home, I'm often on the computer as well, so check my subscribed threads regularly. I'm hardly the only forum junkie here - 2+2 is full of us!

You’re at home watching your kids = what sort of irresponsible parent are you posting on behalf of the poker industry instead of watching the kids.
What do you think parents do all day? Sit there with eagle-vision on their children? They're little humans beings and surprisingly difficult to break.

You post on 2+2 and other forums. The same question comes up over and over why post on behalf of the poker industry when you don’t play poker or have experienced the good beats bad beats up swings down swings or any thing else to do with poker your experience with poker is almost zero. Why post.
It's not almost zero, and I've had good beats and bad beats and up swings and down swings like everyone else. I post because it entertains me. Why do you post?

The over whelming evidence in the posting history is there is a group of posters posting on behalf of the poker industry.
No its not. Yes there are some regs who keep this thread subscribed, but if you notice when a thread is posted in the zoo, before its merged you have the rest of the 2+2 community saying EXACTLY the same things as the "shills" in this thread.
You just can't accept that some people find it entertaining and challenging to argue with people who have a stubborn resistance to critical thought! And you don't want to think of yourself as having a resistance to critical thought either so it makes you feel better to label us "shills"- that way you can dismiss our arguments without further thought and not feel bad about it.
