Family/friends against my decision to not do a 9-to-5: How do I make them understand?
how is this different then poker' its even more clear in poker that for somebody to profit, others must lose. to OP, they wont understand until you prove yourself. its even more difficult to answer this question if you dont have your scores in your profile or your current location.

**NBA Playoffs Conference semifinals**
I just think nobody was surprised by Haslems foul. If you are then I think you are very naive and have probably never played sports or anything at a high competitive level. The way this series was going and being instigated by the Pacers, something like Hansborough going after Wade is going to cause things to boil over. Was Haslems foul excessive and violent' Yes and it fell within the definition of flagrant. Im not stickin up for Pittman. That is completely uncalled for and unnecessary.

The Pacers last night got beat down and I am not talking about the score. They started a fight and last night they got beat down. edit: the media is talking about it today, but not talking badly about it, because it was obvious the direction the Pacers were steering the series and it was obvious how Miami was going to react at some point. Its why nobody believes Haslem or Wade should be suspended for their fouls.

I really dont want to argue about it, but we all know what happened here in this game. The Pacers started something they werent ready to finish. They escalated this physically and verbally every game up to last night and the Hansborough foul was basically enough is enough, and the Heat beat them down.

Elbows thrown his way'' lol, Grainger grabs Lebrons jersey and pulls him back, doesnt let go and youre saying elbow because Lebron raises his arm to get the guy the hell off of him. Pretty natural reaction when a person is grabbing you and not letting you go for you to react in some way. Lebron goes about his business and Grainger runs back up in his face. The other elbow is Grainger once again being unnecessarily aggressive for a rebound, has the foul called against him and then once again continues to hang all over Lebron being a pest. Grainger has 3 techs against him this series ...

LOL Mike Brown, guy has a big new fat contract in LA because he had Lebron make him look 25 games a year better then his coaching abilities actually are. As far as the Heat fouls, Pittmans was uncalled for and will result in suspension, rightfully so. Haslems is a hard foul. You cant be the Pacers running your mouths, talking tough play, talking playing really hard, starting unnecessary confrontations with Lebron (Grainger), telling ESPN were big stronger tougher, and then go at Wade the way Hansborough did, in Miami, and not expect somebody to go back at you. Haslems foul was rightly ...

Mike Miller 5.4M Chalmers 4M Haslem 3.8M Joel Anthony 3.6M Battier 3M edit: also if they really want to win, the big 3 can easily take 1-2M less each year and free up alot of space to get another good piece or pieces, its not like they dont make a fortune in endorsements

**NBA Playoffs Conference semifinals**
Wade acted like a child. He played awful, passed up a wide open shot to brick a jumper got the rebound and forced a 3, next possession forces another 3 and lets his man run down the court unguarded for a dunk. He quit in the 3rd quarter and then completely loses his cool and just turned off for the rest of the game after his coach called him out on it. Theres nothing else to say, he quit on his team.

Mayweather-Cotto
Manny is more past his prime then Floyd. Agree I am excited to watch Manny fight Bradley whos not a chump, but Manny is a -450 fav and in a sport like boxing thats a massive favorite (as opposed to a -450 in MMA or tennis match). Its a huge jump up for Bradley from the guys hes been fighting.

you cant compare like that though, different styles produce different results. i could easily say Manny has struggled greatly vs JMM and Mayweather beat him 12-0 in their fight

Mayweather-Cotto
No way Mayweather is -150 vs Pac. That may be what the actual odds of the fight should be, but Vegas knows people hate Mayweather and will bet Manny out of spite, plus Pacquiao has a huge passionate fan base as mentioned. When this fight was in talks 2 years ago' Mayweather opened at -130 and after all the talk back and forth about steroids and blood tests where it seemed Mayweather was the one ducking Pacquiao the line moved to +115 Mayweather and -115/120ish Pac. I think Mayweather is the better fighter and would beat Pacquiao but the fight is very exciting because of their styles with ...

2+2 Forums Hacked
didnt look at your profile before i posted this, but do you have a UB/AP account by any chance' ever since UB got hacked for all player info I have been getting a decent amount of spam from fake casino and poker room bs as well. It was usually only 1 or 2 tho pieces of spam a day or every couple of days. Since this 2+2 hacking tho I have started getting a couple new pieces of spam per day as well.

Pokerstars Purchases FTP???
Agree with this, he doesnt seem to understand that many players have been very negatively affected financially by FTP, FTP was just another chance for him to make money. He keeps claiming the DOJ were the bad guys when the fact is they stood up for the players against his so called repayment plan. Its a bit insulting what he had planned and on top that he keeps throwing around that 94.9% number which is a complete misrepresentation of the truth. These statements hes making now are just showing his frustrations that he didnt get to make his money off this deal and hes whining about it to ...

Pokerstars Purchases FTP???
if Stars buys FTP, we get paid 100%, its what the DOJ wants and the DOJ is going to get their way on that issue. To those saying they still dont understand why Stars wants this, this actually makes a ton more sense for the DOJ as well as Stars for this to happen this way then it did for Tapie who has/had no interest in the outcome of FTP other then his own personal financial gain, which was pretty obvious by the way he structured his deal for himself as well as his plan for "repayment" which wasnt repayment at all. Also, Stars dont really care about FTP, they care about the settlement with ...

wickedchopspoker had and article 2 days ago saying Stars was done. Today they have updated that articled with this: UPDATE: We’re hearing the final terms of the deal should be signed by all parties within a week. The $750M price tag may also increase. The DoJ has a lot of leverage here and may be flexing their muscles now.
