I hear ya B , but I think I would prefer ratholer's over hit'n'runners . Both are **** card players anyhow , but with ratholer's at least you get a chance to get your money back

Yeah, I thought they would say something like that.

Like Leroy said, it's more annoying when they hit'n'run so you don't get any chance to get any of your money back, but DEATH TO RATHOLERS anyway imo on general principles.

ratholers in limit are universally crap at poker. ive never ever seen one that wasnt a fish. therefore when i see a dude sitting with 5BB at a limit table....it pleases me.

Poker winnings - booze - smokes - food = $24

Not bad imo

Tomorrow is the fun part...live tr iyam

On way into uni to hand in 2 biggest assignments of the year. Then off to gambool and get v drunk!! Will try and post a TR! Picks for todays races are:
-2:00 Little hercules
-2:30 quito de la roque
-4:15 basford bob
-4:50 Kilcrea Kim
-5:25 glorious feeling.

(Disclaimer: don't do any of my bets as I'm a horse betting fish)

Buying out once you hit a downswing defeats the purpose of backing IMO. Obv. I don't know the details of your agreement but if you send your backer money when things are good you should have no qualms about letting him pay when things are bad.

A lot of things really depends on how your contract is set up though. Like time period, volume requirements etc. But just asking for a "vacation" could be a good idea. It's going to be in neither of you guys interest to have you playing when you don't feel like it.

Also, whenever I've been in a situation like that (downswing 6-max cash) and I've decided to learn a new game (HU or PLO) it's never actually been that I wanted to learn a new game as much as it was that I needed a break from my regular game. Paying 3.4k to get out only to get back to grinding SNG in a month or two would be really bad.

I guess what I'm saying is that if your contract allows you to have a break at some point it would be good to take it and if not you can still approach your backer and explain. It's not like he hasn't noticed that your results have been lees than stellar and he also have a vested interest in you turning it around. So you might either offer him to take a break for a month and put an extra month at the end of the contract and you might also offer him a cut of your new game while you are playing that. Not that it should matter much as you will need to start at a much lower level in a game you aren't familiar with.

So I'm bored and reading strange forums, everyone's debating the answer to 48÷2(9+3)= ??

Makes me lol and idiots until I saw this picture and am now dumbfounded.

Obv rogged !

288 is correct and whatever clown programmed the TI-85 has hopefully been fired

+1.

Its the result of 48/2 that should be multiplied by 12, not the 2.

Here's the tldr in a picture


Apparently high end mathematics adopt a rule of juxtaposed multiplication. But it's almost always directly relating to variables. I answered 288 but am less convicted.

I didn't read the thread but I don't know how it is complicated whatsoever. Brackets get done first, which makes everything else a moot point.

48/2*(9+3)
= 48/2*12

Then D & M get done left to right... they're not sequential (must do division before multiplication or vice versa if you're looking at PEMDAS), they get done in order of the equation.

ez game imo

well I guess people are misunderstanding whatever crappy mnemonics they have been taught in school.

everybody have clearly arrive at 48/2*12 and somebody think that because of pemdas (american mnemonic?) they have to multiply first so it becomes 48/24=2. What they don't realize is that if they multiply first (which is fine, you can do whatever way you want with multiplication and division) it really is 576/2=288.

If they divided first they would get 48/2*12=24*12=288. But seriously this is grade school stuff, how can people **** this up? (and more importantly how can TI-85 **** this up)

**** numbers.

Such a stupid word 'NUMBERS'

say it out loud 5 times...

see?

You didn't read my last poast. Everyone agrees that 48/2*(9+3)= 288 but they don't agree that 48/2(9+3)= 288

aka x/2y is x/(2y) not x/2 *y

BODMAS.

48÷2(9+3)= ??

48÷2(12)= ??

24(12)=288


Division is done before multiplication.

That is all.

Woo Woo!

I'm more intrigued by the virgin media digital ho...sounds like an interesting program

Lol. Perks of their 50MB package

If a friend of mine wrote to me that the formula was x/2y I would read it as x/(2y) because otherwise they would have said the formula was xy/2.

That doesn't make it correct though. Whenever I've come across a formula in a scientific paper they've never used the / but rather some kind of equation editor and it's always clear what is meant and whenever I've written scientific stuff I have used a equation editor as well.

What I'm saying is that I've never seen a scientific paper where this has ever been a problem. But I do also know that when using excel or any other kind of spreadsheet x/2y would be interpreted as xy/2 because that is the correct way to interpret it mathematically.

And the "HEM vs PT" doc on the desktop for easy reference. You need that handy just in case you forget the answer !!

Lol, it's blank, been there ages - will do it one day

I didn't intend to bring the debate in here. I would have whole heartedly agreed with you a few hours ago. I just found it interesting that several texts, some calculators, and many seemingly educated people have implied multiplication before explicit division.

That calculator picture made my head asloped.

gj and gl bb

WP bee would've played it myself, but some of us had to be at work

Keep the scoop entry imo for sure.
