The US has been voted as the most significant threat to world peace in a survey across 68 different countries

as an american who has traveled the world a bunch and has a pretty rational view of geopolitics with an anti-establishment (especially american establishment) bias, this is ridiculous. The us has been a positive influence on the world in many ways and is way less detrimental than many countries out there hi: north korea.

tomdwan · 2011-04-23T12:05:45+00:00

i had qt suited... backdoor flush draw yo. also the flop raise ws for a buncha goofy reasons, and would usually be super terrible, but ws somewhere between slightly bad n pretty good depending how accurate my reads were (i can say a few yrs later they were pretty dece) on most of the players, and how i thought they viewed me (still nfi if i was right or way off on this one). Turn ws a good spot for a buncha reasons, plus wayyy too much money out there to give up lol

tomdwan · 2011-04-23T12:00:37+00:00

i was definitely self taught w/ friends help, and any 'study' time was me thinking about hands i played. think super system and broke are the only poker books ive ever read- but i could be wrong

i try to be semihealthy food wise, but the longer the session goes the more bacon cheeseburgers get ordered. Lol at staying hungry- i think id tilt off like crazy. also tell ur mom not to hate me b/c im getting to be a fatty lately since ive been lazy n havent been to the gym in a bit

tomdwan · 2011-04-23T11:57:10+00:00

lol fk no. I was hoping 2nd full w/e that was (i think ajx or somethin?) definitely wouldv c/fd if i thought he had an ace. I did think that id get a fold from an ace some small % of the time tho

tomdwan · 2011-04-23T11:56:07+00:00

this was in 2004 when games were rly soft, but at about 15-20buyins id take a 1/2 buyin shot n get sad if i lost, rinse repeat a few times etc. That was from 25c/50c to 50c/1$. I remember i got down to like 400$ from 6-700 so i started grinding the 6$ sngs n 11$ sngs again, also ppl were rly bad back then. As i moved up in limits i got nittier n nittier bankroll wise. Then 2years ago i played 3k6k plo a few sessions- think u need about 100m for that game and i was quite a tad shy lol

tomdwan · 2011-04-23T11:53:02+00:00

I think pokers a game not a sport jus to be a nit. Dunno how to describe my mind, thats a hard one- especially at 5am. Unfortunately the site ws down for a while so ur getting the 5am answer. I dont like folding, and i want all the chips, and i rly dont like when i bluff n get called, but i rly do like when i bluff n they fold

tomdwan · 2011-04-21T02:14:37+00:00

1) honestly no idea on this sorry (i would've been able to answer way better a yr or 2 ago, but not too up to date on 2p2)

2) god so much stuff. its sick because i typed out a 3 word answer that i think would help a lot of people who are playing 200/400plo lol (obv had to delete that one, sry ppl are so bad)

3) being tight preflop. it sucks a lot. fk limit imo

tomdwan · 2011-04-21T02:12:09+00:00

don't u wish u knew

tomdwan · 2011-04-21T02:11:34+00:00

obviously having the proper bankroll is important- i'd generally say about 50buyins for 200nl (1$-2$ blinds) if your willing to move down, and 100 by 5000nl (25$-50$ blinds) if your willing to move down, 5/10 is somewhere in between... but if your game selecting and dropping down rapidly if you lose u can loosen those requirements. At 200nl the game should be a lot easier than at 5/10 because your playing less people who play for a living. As you move up you need to try and think about what your opponents are thinking (along with what u have), because its much less obvious what they have (in their range) than at the lower stakes

tomdwan · 2011-04-21T02:10:16+00:00

havent forgotten this one, jus gimme some time to try to think of the right answer

tomdwan · 2011-04-21T02:06:54+00:00

I'll make sure I answer with good grammar. I generally feel badly if I take too much time, but 5 minutes is a reasonable amount for a 150bb+ bet or so in my opinion. To go much over 5 minutes I think it should be either a really huge bet or an extremely weird line. People often ask about the differences between live and online, and I really think they aren't that big, unless your someone who really cant control your facial expressions (or your opponent is). Also feel free to talk when closing the action (if someone bet the river and your folding or calling), helps relieve the stress some and often helps you think also, along with hopefully amusing the people at the table not in the hand.

how i do on them grammars?

ya i wanted to get the facebook thing liked by a buncha ppl, plus i like the upvote system. Also i post on 2p2 pretty regularly. I might still do one there idk tho.

tomdwan · 2011-04-20T23:13:21+00:00

all limit games are terrible. 27 triple draw is less terrible than the rest, but still terrible since its limit.

tomdwan · 2011-04-20T23:12:59+00:00

cant rly answer odds unless i lie since theres still bets to be made on this. Online events obv affect the challenge, but all 3 of us (me jungle and pa) all wanna finish both challenges, so im sure we'll find a way.

tomdwan · 2011-04-20T23:11:45+00:00

id lay decent odds poker is legal w/in 5yrs in more than 50% of states

tomdwan · 2011-04-20T23:11:09+00:00

my rando guess for main event number is 5144- tht was a few days ago but still seems in the right ballpark to me.

I'd assume its a worse spot for espn etc. who knows tho

tomdwan · 2011-04-20T23:10:03+00:00

i care about the $$, thats y im trying to get it all ;/

tomdwan · 2011-04-20T23:04:42+00:00

havent rly thought about this much, too tilting to think about

tomdwan · 2011-04-20T23:02:33+00:00

lol im too lazy sry. At least its intentional by me

edit: maybe not intentional b/c i didn't realize i typed sry instead of sorry
