I hope there's this post on some other poker forum somewhere: So I've spun up my £40 up to £250 and am feeling pretty great when this guy stacks me. I thought I'm not having that and turn on the waterworks. 'I can't afford to feed my kid now' etc. The silly sod only goes and give me money back!!! I try to stifle my laughter as I graciously accept his money. Being a girl is pretty great sometimes!! I read that forum - gametheoryforgirls.com They're thinking of making Dubai an honorary (but still fee paying) member. There's lots of deep insight into strategy but it's a bit advanced for the average sot sucker kind hearted hero. |

Couple of questions:
1 did it sell out?
2 did it make a profit?
if the answer to 2 is a "yes" then the markup is justified and should possibly be increased for the next staking!

What if the answer to one is yes and the answer to two is no? |

Lack of regulation and sleight of hand? |

You assuming all investors are rational and have access to full information? Once you move away from this prices can get out of line in any market? I assume these people haven't got access to his sharkscope to be able to make any assessment at all of his plo8 skills. Suppose you were somebody who had enough information to make a better judgement where is your incentive to reveal it? |

Suppose you were somebody who had enough information to make a better judgement where is your incentive to reveal it? But paid prices being 'out of line' isn't the same as requested prices being 'out of hand'. As you say owing to irrationality prices paid are rarely fair, but I suppose what I'm getting at is the way a supplier prices up in a free market can't really be questioned? Unless there are underhand tactics/deliberate deceptions I suppose. Sure we are all violently agreeing anyway  |

Why are there no recurring threads about people spending their money on fags and booze?

Wouldn't be a conclusion others made. |
