No google searching here, but from memory thought they were over 90% accurate. Maybe closer to 96? Idk.

Yeah, though they may not be accurate enough for the court of law, that doesn't mean they aren't useful and overall quite accurate. The FBI, CIA, and other USA government agencies use them for their hiring process. I would guess that other countries also use them for their government agencies.

Hey, look! The thread completely derailed.

Different "populations" test differently with polygraphs. Read up on them and you'll find them to be of questionable validity.

lock?

perhaps you need to look up the definition of derailed. OP has referenced polygraphs in his recent posts, and there has been a brief, but not exhaustive, discussion of polygraphs since then. not a derail; try again

What are you talking about? OP has clearly offered to pay for something called a pauly-graph. Do you even know who Pauly Shore is?

Get with it, Bradley. The heroin is running you down

I actually like that you quoted the post, responded to one part, then on another tangent quoted the post again and responded to the other part.

My kinda style. Truce?

how about this o4u: 10k even money if you can substantiate your claims. if I win I donate to charity. if you win you can pocket it like you've done with everyone else's money in the poker world and life. step up son
what exactly do you want me to bet on?

when you say everyone elses money, who do you refer to with "everyone"?
again, you know nothing about me and i asked you multiple times now to state what exactly i did wrong in your eyes and you failed to do so. so please stop writing nonsense about me.

step forward and give me your therapeuts contact, i will sue him for you with my own money

edit: if you want to play me some time in future on whatever account in whatever game, feel free to btw

What a great ploy by Brian

Officially "announce your retirement". Create a few more anonymous accounts. Cheat everyone even more on the downlow. Profit

Next pressing question: should Brian be inducted into the poker hall of fame?
