MTT regs with highest oi factor
4b/5b jamming small pairs @ 30bb is gameflow dependent. In general it is far from oi defining. facepalm.gif

do you guys generally have a winning session?
3 weeks = 18 sessions. 2 winning days, 3rd one was still a losing day. 11% = My assessment was close... :p

I'd be lucky if I have 10% winning days. But I'm still not sure if I'm even a winning player.

Ever fallen asleep at a Final Table?
When I was at APPT Seoul last year I thought it would be a good idea to just not sleep and grind Sunday (which started at like 11pm or something ridic iirc). At about 3:55am I decided to lay down and "rest my eyes" for the break, woke up at 4:40am or something like that on one of the rare occasions I had a bunch of stacks on a Sunday. Was also Anniversary Million weekend. Was pretty annoyed with myself for doing that.

Gun control laws..........
I don't get how I'm contradicting myself. I'm saying that without being an expert there may be room for mental health issues to be addressed, but at the end of the day you will be relying on those individuals with mental health issues to either be turned in or turn themselves in. In some cases people don't even know they have a problem and everyone thinks they're normal until they snap. By making guns less accessible it will reduce the damage when they do snap or make it impossible for them to act on impulses at that point in time. I'm not saying it's not important. It's clearly very ...

I don't claim to be an expert on mental health issues in the USA (or anywhere for that matter), and I do agree it is part of the problem. But I definitely disagree that it is the larger issue. I heard something recently about the high% of these psychos that have carried out these mass shootings that were actually on medication as children for some kind of mental disorder. I wish I remembered the accurate information better but unfortunately at this time I'm grinding and can't really think what it was precisely. The other element is obviously that people need to recognise they have problems ...

Gun control laws..........
It's not about prohibition though. I've said multiple times in this thread that I don't think all guns should be banned (nor could they be). But something like legislation in Australia with tight licensing procedures and banning of certain types of guns (semi-automatics etc) would certainly make a substantial difference. Sure, it will be hard. And like I've said before it might take generations. But it has to start somewhere and now is a good a time as any...

I was going to step out of this thread because edukated is doing a fantastic job and bears far more credibility because he is American. However, this attitude infuriates me. Who gives a flying fuck whether how smoothly it would go. Who gives a fuck how difficult it is. Who gives a fuck how small the difference would be in the short term. Is human life not worth it to you' If they implement some tighter gun regulations and save 10 lives a year is it worth it' The attitude of you people is really sickening.

Yeah the lolUSA is great to visit for sure, mostly because it is Westernised therefore everything is easy to navigate/communicate etc etc and they have some really cool places. But America doesn't really rush to help people out of the goodness of their own hearts. America does what fits their agenda best.

Well before you start using numbers in such a factual way, get them right. There is more than 18m people in Australia. QLD is one of the most populated states and one with a heavy alcohol culture and some of the loosest road laws. But that is not the point. Drunk drivers are doing it to themselves. Occasionally yeah they kill other people but it would be nowhere near the total number you have listed. This would be like us taking a suicide number and saying we should ban guns for that reason. It's not right, it's against the law, and it's clearly dangerous. But people are making those choices ...

Well before you go calling everyone idiots how about you take a long look at yourself and your idiotic assessment of my comment. It's ignorance and narrow-mindedness like he was displaying and like you are displaying that allows these things to keep happening at such a high frequency. No, he didn't shoot anyone, but the retardation that you pro-gun people are spitting out is exactly the retardation that will allow this to keep happening. Since Shak doesn't want to answer, I'll ask you. Are you ok with this happening' What should they do about it' Nothing'

This is such a narrow minded attitude. These psychos don't care if they die, hence the majority of them kill themselves anyway. You're not putting fear into them by having guns, sure less will die in those rare instances, but they will still kill. More to the point, if everyone carries guns then there will be more killing by people who have a brain explosion at a certain point in time. School teacher loses his mind briefly and starts shooting kids... Do you want this' Do you want everyone to be armed so that when they have a single moment of craziness they can so easily act on it' It's so ...

Eh, I tend to think you're the one who's missing the real point here... You started a thread named "Gun Control Laws", and now you're saying that the issue is online poker being banned or kids not being able to say prayers out loud in schools... wtf' The issue should be the unnecessary deaths that are occurring in the USA way too frequently. The main facilitator of these deaths is guns.

Gun control laws..........
Ok, what I mean by this is that you are citing some rare instances. Of course I could start citing incidents where guns were instigators or where someone got broken into and there was no rape/violence/shooting/whatever. My point is that there is going to be significantly more instances where this is the case than the rare instances you are sighting. Of course, the massacres and school shootings are rare instances as well, but my real point is that it should be the catalyst for change in a broader sense. I know for a fact as a father that my first instinct when faced with a dangerous ...

ok, I'll bite. I think the ludicrous thing about your post and your examples is exactly that. You are citing incidents that happen. Fuck dude, it happens, it happens all around the world. There are some really bad people in the world, it's just how it is. When people break into someones home, I don't think it is right to say they are breaking in to rape or murder someone for the most part. In terms of criminal activity it is extremely rare that there is a random murder just for the sake of it. Even still, what are the chances you get to use your gun if someone breaks in with the soul ...

Oh, and not turning this into an Australia vs United States argument. That's retarded and so far away from anything that resembles the topic at hand. I'm comfy where I reside, I know where I'd prefer to live, and it seems you do too.
