  1. Hey, I have very little gut instinct to speak of. I hate both the taste and smell of beer. And as for the "reaction" part, I'll have you know that I can still wear jeans I bought over 15 years ago. (Breathing is optional.)

  2. Speaking of Intuition, best book on it is "blink" by Malcolm Gladwell. Simply phenomenal stories in there that go far beyond the standard professional poker type.

  3. Sys,

    I looked at Blink a couple times, never bought it as a read. Did you find it relevant or a recreational read?

  4. Hmm. I wonder how the author would interpret that.
