    Why do casinos think of people as animals from the water? Whales, fish,... :confused:

  4. Like Kansas used to sing :

    "If I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know"

    I like that, holds true for women.

    In trading and in my experience, looking for too many answers prolongs getting rich.

    1) I don't understand that one. My point number one is you have to ante up to see your hand; not so in trading.
    2) Perhaps you can have a guaranteed win in poker; I don't play. It is hard to believe if you sit down at a table with five other guys that you are likely to have a guaranteed win on any given hand.
    3) I was referring to each hand of poker.
    4) Yes if you trade stocks there are dark pools. I don't trade stocks intraday; I like to see every trade that goes through so I stick to futures.

  9. And now is when you realise that I asked the initial question for this thread and never claimed to know all the answers. Your anger is misleading you

    One often has guaranteed wins in poker, 'the nuts'.. eg board is QTT45 and I have TT my quads beat any other possible hand. Challenge is to slow play turn to get max value when shoving river etc. I hope someone has pocket 4s and shoves with their house, so I get all their $ w/quads
