    Well, I've been pretty quiet for the past week or so, and been reading a lot (obv) here on P5's...It seems to me there are 10 questions or things that always are being asked. This isn't directed at anyone in particular - so don't take offense... I've asked some of these Q's myself...just messing around :)

    10. "How do I get a duel monitor set up to work?

    It's called the search button. We know that your all excited about your new setup and you want the help to get your shit set up, but fuck - don't bother starting a new thread so the tech junkies have to waste their friggin time with you.

    9. "Such and such played this hand horribly"

    I'm sure such and such had a reason for playing it the way they did... even if it was that they didn't care about the money if they lost. Not everyone is playing their A game at all times, and they probably don't appreciate you posting their fuck ups. Notice that you're watching them... that says something right there.

    8. "How do I go deep in MTTs?"

    Oh, you don't know how to? Man, its so easy. Try watching a good player play or read a godddamn book... you're not going to learn anything from "play tight early and get loose when the blinds go up" - that strategy can lmb. It's not helping anyone.

    7. "Which site has the best structure?"

    Whatever you feel the most comfortable with. There is a section on reviews of all the major sites, read it.

    6. Disguising bad beats with different titles.

    Just because you think your the first person to see KK vs AA with an AKx flop - doesn't mean all of us haven't seen this same shit 35018501 times ourselves... Hand histories aren't very interesting if there is no strategy behind them.

    5. Threads about poker on TV get the most responses.

    Just the way it goes I guess - but just because you saw a hand on television go down... doesn't mean very much. It's highly edited, and the players play with each other for hours. Yes, calling an all in with 88 may seem foolish to you, but you obviously didnt have all the information that he did. Oh, and calling people donkeys who made the final table of huge events makes a lot of sense too. No skill involved, all luck for a week.

    4. People who respond to their own thread.

    If you posted something and nobody responded for a few minutes - don't panic.. it takes time for people to respond to your questions. People who bump their own threads look really hurting.

    3. This is a site where people can boast about their accomplishments.

    I don't understand how people are critical of others when the are pumping their own tires.. nobody said you had to read the thread. If the thread is called "Such and such owns" dont fuckin open it if your gunna whine like a little bitch about it.

    2. Just because your on the computer doesn't make you a tough guy.

    What the hell happened to courtesy and respect? Just because no one can see you doesn't mean you have to be a loser and hate on every thread you see.. you know who you are. Oh, and no doubt this thread will get hijacked... lol

    1. It fucking depends.

    Every single queston on how to play a hand - that's your answer.

    I know this thread didn't go anywhere... but whatever, I really don't care.

    :) Good luck to everyone at the tables this weekend,

    In response to #5, you stated its highly edited and players play with each other for hours. Are you watching poker or porn? :>)

    I think you should add a top 10 section to your site, and get a co-host.

    Thatd be worth the monthly fee.

    Hey... lemme ask you something..... you got any gum? HAHAHAHHAHA... ohh.. hmm..

    Makes me want to rush out, drop 30 bucks and join your site...I could ask questions and you could berate me - although I can get that at home for free.

    gg gidders.

    American Thanskgiving always depressing me too. It's not like Canada's.
