    Screw these anti-war demonstrators

    what gets me are a lot of these protestors are the same groups that for years cried about the persecution and human rights violations under hussein, a legitimate concern. but now that we are going to do something they are crying about a war. do they think asking nicely is going to work? fact is...

    sounds like your learning, pretty fast too if your just learning. one key is to identify what type of table your at, loose, tight, passsive, aggressive, etc... and adjust your play accordingly. i.e most low limits are loose. in tourney play it gets a lot different to and changes as the blinds...

    DISAGREE, execution speed of equipment is only part of equation, i.e if you have a trader w/ slowest reaction on fastest execution tech, he would still suck. what you are inferring is he who has the best trading platform wins. not true.
