Hoping they've stopped now so I can it done, they have to have not changed in like 18 months(?) to get it done I think my optician said.

In Estonia, here are few very good clinics with good prices vs other EU countries.
Eye-laser is around 1800-2200€.

And every estonian knows that lots of finnish and scandies are coming to Estonia for surgery (eyes, breasts, fat etc), thats because of gooood prices!!!!

I know 2 (finnish) guys who've got lasik and they both had it done in Estonia. I don't know what it costs elsewhere but at least Estonia is significantly cheaper than Finland.

And it's a good opportunity to keep up the reputation of finnish vodka tourists in Estonia while you're there.

Lots of Scandinavians go to places like Poland and Estonia for expensive dentistry. Don't know about eye surgery, though.

idk about "many scandis" but there are certainly top quality lasiks being performed here and from what i can tell the prices are a lot better than in most places. also estonia kiiind of but not really exactly eastern europe anymore when it comes to certain fields

Not sure how much Swedes/Norwegians do it since traveling gets a bit more expensive and time consuming for them, but at least a lot of finns to go to Estonia for lasik, cosmetic surgery etc. (all kinds of expensive medical operations not covered by insurance)

I think the technology is pretty much the same.

Its the Dangs and the fact that they are now also playing on FTP confirms it pretty much. Awesome to know how they are both sitting at the computer and using two brains to beat Ilari, as well as other players when pots get huge. Not to mention it probably happens in any poker house nowadays.

I just don't see how it matters. I just assume everyone is multi-accounting and play accordingly.

It's not about playing accordingly when you are playing vs 2 people, who together are clearly going to make less mistakes than if you were just playing vs one.

what do you mean by this? if you picked up some reads/freqs from one session are you going to disregard them 100% next time? seems like thats worse than just losing to MAers

I'm not implying it's clear I was just pointing out that, if it is the case, it matters.

If it is the 2 of them playing together and hashing things out together, is that illegal or against the TOS?

Obviously if they are playing on their own separate accounts at the same table or something, this is illegal. However (not knowing whether its implicitly against the rules) I would not see anything wrong with 2 brothers or friends playing one account as a team.

Just got my gunnars, putting them on for my first session was a bigger difference than I expected.

At first, everything seemed a little blurrier, and magnified. I ended up getting used to it, but I'm not totally sold on them being better than not having computer glasses.

Did you or anyone else have a similar starting experience?

I basically assume that any person and/or type of player could be on most accounts at anytime. I assume some regulars are who they are for the most part, but it is pretty easy to identify differences rather immediately. Then, there are accounts where you basically assume past stats and reads are meaningless.
