  1. OK Ive had a look at sixth sense, I dont really trouble the software forum much.Its not really any use for tournaments its just for table selection on ring games. You would need to get a big database of hands before it would do you much good If you have got pokertracker you probably want to have a look at PAHUD, which is a real time heads up display which shows vpip etc of opponents. It can be useful to get reads on who is loose or tight which is obviously good for knowing who to steal against etc I'm going to give 1/2 limit a go, so that's what I'd be interested in that for. I'm only demoing Poker Tracker at the moment (thousand hand limit), but I think I'll end up getting it, I think I've already spotted some leaks, after a casual glance, but I'd need a few more thousand hands in there before I confirmed anything. I'll have a look into this HUD business, I read something about them, but it is all really rather complicated sometimes. Will check out PAHUD, cheers. Good luck and be careful, that limit is a brutally swingy game. Might be worth starting a bit lower unless you have a few hundred you are prepared to lose
  2. Disgraceful. The way I see it, the more people who can afford to send their kids to private school, the better. Those remaining kids will getter a bigger bite of the state pie so it's a win-win scenario. Doesnt really work like that though does it. It just means that the state schools get less as the people with money ie influence pay for their own kids. Therefore people with money and privelage get better and better off, the poor get increasingly marganilsed and worse off. Sending your kids to private school doesn't leave you exempt from paying taxes. why will state schools get less? Because if the people who have got money to throw at their children have children in the state sector then they are going to be a damn sight more interested in ensuring the state sector provides a decent level of schooling I think you've answered a completely different question. Jeez are you kidding me.
  3. Because the people who have the influence decide whether that tax goes to the schools. In my experience, SB, the people you're worrying about don't give half as much a fuck about you, worry about your own family first. We're not going to change anything, anyway. EDIT: Actually, you've already said that's what you're doing! It was still a comprehensive, just not the nearest one. Thats how I rationalise my guilt anyhow

  7. Having worked hard to give my kids a better go in life why should I be forced to send them to the same trampy school as me? It won't improve state schools because no-one will pay for a state education. In fact it'll stretch an already failing system to breaking point because they can't cope with the numbers. So not only will my kids suffer, but also the tramps who are (at least currently) getting a basic education for nowt. Every kid sould have the same chance at school. Your kids already have an advantage at home with (I asume) caring loving hard working parents, providing assisatance and good role models. All the more reason for kids with bad parents to be given a chance You've avoided my point. If my kids went to their local state school that's another few spaces taken up. Another few kids in the already large class, more kids that the teacher has to spread themself even more thinly across. My kids going to a state school rather than a private one would do more harm to the already disadvantaged kids. (I don't have any kids btw.) I was arguing more about my opinions and beleifs about education in general than individual cases to be honest. In an ideal world I would have a well funded comprehensive system that gives everybody a chance. In reality I sent my kids to a catholic school because it had the best reults in the area. Wanting the best for my children made a hypocrite out of me
  8. Poker Stove is very useful and free so no reason to not have it. Very useful to check your odds when reviewing your play. Also useful for playing about with to see how certain hands fair against other hands. see also poker trace which has a good tournament replayer. Sixth sense I have never heard of. Poker Tracker is pretty much indispensible if you play anything other than tournaments. tourney manager is a great way to store and analyse tournaments. AT $40 it is a bargain SNG power tools are without doubt the best bit of software you could ever buy for sngs. I dont know if you have come across ICM yet, but withut understanding it you cant really hope to fully beat sngs. Power tools is a program which teaches you were to push fold or call in tournaments. I am not spongebobxxxx btw

  10. What about home schooling? Home schooling is such a bad sad loser of an idea. Obviously I would ban it
  11. Any Elvis concert in 1956 or the 66 comeback special
  12. Not going to happen though, at least not as long as so many parents are allowed to bring up their children so shabbily- and it only takes a handful of wayward kids to drag a whole bunch down to their level. While in principle I would agree that faith an the state should not mix and admire a lot of countries who have acheived this situation- I don't think it would be the right time now to do away with them. A lot of faith schools still operate in an 'old-fashioned' manner (though not much) and gives a good indication of how successful or otherwise recent changes to the education system are. Mind you, as long as the government proceeds with their 'one for all' approach to education we're screwed in the long-term regardless. Education is a load better than it was ten years ago. It sickens me that they haven chosen to take this path now. I would make every kid go there local school and ensure that every child in the country had exactly the same spent on them. The only thing that makes me more angry than faith schools is private education. Actually make that the same angry they are both equally and totally wrong
  13. I'm with you and am fundamentally opposed to them, especially the ones peddling more fundamental faiths, like Emmanuel college in Gateshead. They teach lies, discourage free thought, have luddite attitudes and are anti-science, and are devisive. Of all the things the current government have done this supporting these ridiculous, outdated schools is the thing I object to most, even more than Iraq. I would advocate an entirely secular education for all children. Faith schools appall and disgust me, there should be a complete and total divorce of church and state, no faith should have any input into running a school. I am steadfast in my support of Blair, but I really despise this
  14. Most people who saw Dylan live at the height of his powers ('66) thought he was shit. Hence all the booing. Watching them back I can't imagine not being in awe, especially of the power behind the electric half of the set. As he'd sing to the audiences at the time "You know something is happening here, but you don't know what it is", very true. When he spits that at the audience in "No direction home" it is fantastic. I saw Bob Dylan at Earls Court in 1976 or so, it was alright but not one of the greats
  15. Here is the official Pokerstars statement I think my second income stream may be temporarily inconvenienced
  16. US citizens will still have to pay taxes on poker winnings. The thinking behind it seems to be some sort of unholy combination of christian rightwing anti gambling fervour and protectionism for state run lottery/horseracing which is still legal. Re losing out on winnings, what I meant was they're losing out on tax from online winnings because presumably those that are going to try and play illegally now can't declare their illegal income as taxable. That idiot Bush will still be giving off about "freedoms" in his speeches. What a pillock. The legality of playing hasnt changed, just the legality of depositing. Winnings still have to be declared as before
  17. 100% Likely to be signed, was passed unanimously in the senate. Will be signed within two weeks
  18. neTELLER are outside their jurisdiction, though. My information says Party haven't even pulled the plug yet, won't do so unless Bush signs it in. Am I wrong? Thelink I posted earliewr was the Party statement seems pretty cut and dried I think they have made it illegal for US banks to trade with neteller. Basically it is still legal to play or withdraw money, but not to deposit
  19. US citizens will still have to pay taxes on poker winnings. The thinking behind it seems to be some sort of unholy combination of christian rightwing anti gambling fervour and protectionism for state run lottery/horseracing which is still legal.
  20. Pacific (888.com) have also confirmed they wont service US players, I think they were 3rd behind Party and Stars. The legislation has been specificlly drafted to make it illegal to deposit with neteller or other financial institutions that service "the illegal online gaming industry"
  21. Party shares down 57% so far this morning ouch
  22. The big problem is the players who know what they are doing will be able to get round it, but the recreational fish wont. It seems amazing that they can do this, but the cynic in me thinks we will see the big American Casinos being liscenced by the us govt soon. Interseting times ahead I think
  23. When the smb was quality he was one of the best posters on there That is sad news
