Almost any decent candidate would have won for the Democrats 4 years ago as well (someone mentioned this before, maybe flushy). Sadly they didn't have one and the Republicans won based on little more than a promise to spend all available money on weapons to fight terror. Some good things happened in the last four years though, the Republican Party were taught some harsh lessons which hopefully will force them to reform (preferably they'll never be elected again, this is too much to hope for but a move away from neo-conservativism will be an enormous improvement). Also there was a sense that your average american started to become concerned about America's place in the world and what it's responsibilities should be, this was a major factor in why Obama won a landslide victory and has to bode well for the future. 

(Pencil in that May 9th tourney Alex, bass fishing and poker in the spring what could be better, looking forward to it already.)

Sounds pretty much like a standard Democratic policy to me, if a Republican get back in they will probably cut the funding again and then the next democratic president will change it again, etc.......................

I mean I agree with Obama's policy on this, but it is not really anything but the standard party line imo.

Seen on our PHA Board. When exactly did this simple game of poker get so frigging complicated?

default 3b/fold preflop especially HU, 22/14 is a tight player.  given tight range fold as ur dominated by too many of his holdings + oop without initiative, id guess something like call 20%/3b 15%/fold 65%...... not many 22/14 can overbet shove a non-freerolling/immortal nuts hand

God Bless Alex Martin. A whole new vocabulary is emerging, where we see word juxtaposition like we've never seen before.

"overbet shove non-freerolling/immortal nuts".

How on earth am I going to weave that into the Commentary in tonight's Show?

But I will.

What does the 22/14 part of that mean?  And what does the rest of it mean also?

I have not got the faintest idea, but I enjoyed reading it.

Hopefully, if one of the Kidz should (no doubt, accidentally) visit this Diary, they'll enlighten us.

22/14 is poker tracker stats. First = vpip which how many times you enter the pot not including the bb and 2nd = Preflop raise %.

The rest means re raise or fold preflop especially in heads up pot, you are dominated too often and are out of position without the initiative. Alex would call 20%, reraise 15% and fold 65% of the time. A tight player with these stats will rarely balance their range between nothing hands and the nuts/ hands with a 7 and a flush draw (hence freerolling against your bare 7).

Whoa there, hold up a moment.

In "22/14", you are saying the "14" means they raise 14% of the time pre-flop? 14%? You do know that's 1 time in 7? More than once an Orbit?

Tighty & I think we are playing on the edge if we Raise one time every other Level. (Assuming 1 hour Levels).

I need a lie-down, this is shocking stuff.
