In America, we have 400 million citizens. 31,000 people die from gun related incidents every year. 55% are from suicide. That means that 17,000 people are murdered by guns.
"The 31 states that have "shall issue" laws allowing private citizens to carry concealed weapons have, on average...a 19 percent lower murder rate"
So in states that have concealed carry... 19% lower murder rates. Nationwide this would mean that 3,240 lives would be saved with the murder rate was lower and in states where the murder rate is lower there are concealed carry licenses.
I'm down for saving 3200 lives per year. i don't get it, liberals want to save whales and polar bears...but not the human species. I thought we were on top of the list... btw...
Polar bears can swim steadily for many hours in order to get from one piece of ice to another. They have water-repellent coat and partially webbed feet, which both are adaptations to swimming. Although known individual bears have only been recorded swimming about 100 km or so, they are likely capable of swimming much further if necessary.
suck a dick you propaganda feeding al gore bitch. wtf.
States that allow registered citizens to carry concealed weapons have lower crime rates than those that don't.
True. The 31 states that have "shall issue" laws allowing private citizens to carry concealed weapons have, on average, a 24 percent lower violent crime rate, a 19 percent lower murder rate and a 39 percent lower robbery rate than states that forbid concealed weapons. In fact, the nine states with the lowest violent crime rates are all right-to-carry states. Remarkably, guns are used for self-defense more than 2 million times a year, three to five times the estimated number of violent crimes committed with guns.
god i can't believe i used to be this flaming homo liberal...not saying i'm conservative, i think conservatives are closed minded idiots afraid of change, but liberals don't even make sense
how do you kill an aggressive baller with a big chip stack??? slow roll him on everything??
***EDIT***
Are there people on here that will pay me to play in tournaments?? b/c i'm on a fucking roll right now.
seriously if some baller has like 200 bucks and wants to pay my entry fee for a tournamnent i'm sooo down for that. like you provide entry fee, i provide leet skills and the winning prize...
in example...you pay for entry into sunday millions and i play and if i'm ITM we split like 50/50...details can be worked on later.
Poll: Without looking at an odds calculator, whats better AKs or 22?
(Vote): AhKh
(Vote): 2d2s
(Vote): exactly 50/50
OMG if one more person gets this wrong i am going to flip my SHIT.
ACCORDING TO THIS WEBSITE...
"Nuts
The nuts are the best possible hand for a given board. For example, if the community cards read 2-3-4-K-Q with no possible flushes and you are holding 56, you have made THE NUTS (23456 straight)."
IN OTHER WORDS AA IS NEVER THE NUTS UNLESS THERE IS AN ACE ON THE BOARD AND NO POSSIBLE STRAIGHT OR FLUSH.
SHIT!!!
"you have an over pair, you got nuts" no. nuts = top set on rainbow flop like 2d 6s 7d. so if you have 7h7c YOU HAVE THE NUTS.
When i joined this site, like everyone else i wanted to learn more and play better poker.
Since joining this site in may i've made made about $50 bucks...
Since i started playing online in january until may i was up $180
All i've done since may is read read read ya'lls posts and such to see how i can improve my game. I do what you guys say others should do in similair situations and i just lose more money b/c your like "blah blah blah be aggressive, ship ship ship." One hand i had AK. There was a flush and str8 out and i kept calling down b/c he was really loose. the riv was a K and i won a nice pot w/ pair of kings and ya'll bashed me for not shoving. wtf it's just a pair, i knew what i was doing, call down b/c he's loose and theres so much that beats me. Based on my read calling was +ev.
Today i was told i played this wrong...

Let me explaine what i did and why...
First off, we're heads up. Heads up, big hands are not going to happen nearly as often as they do full ring, 6 max obv. He has been very aggressive with 4 players, heads up he was very very tight, but i've seen him reraise allin 3-4 times prior to this hand
I call the blind, he reraise 3x. I call again. Flop comes out, i have a pair. He bets out 1/3 pot and i have a pair. Obv call hu. River comes and it gives me two pair. At this point, since this guy is low on chips and i am obv ahead, i'm taking him to value town. I wanted to get his chip stack down to where #1 he puts in a good amount now #2 he has to shove on riv. River comes and he caught runner runner flush. BFD, there is nothing i can do about that. I wouldn't play this hand any differently 100% of the time. He played like shit and got lucky. Thats life. I don't know how you can say i played it wrong.
ANNNNYWAY, done ranting and raving. I had a good day in poker... online, i got 2nd in that tournament which paid a nice $48, and IRL, i played cash game 50nl, bought in with 20 and walked out with 69...
Total profit = 114 bucks.
Money in teh banks.
In life news, i played golf friday with the head coach of #18 in the nation in highschool football Euless Trinity...
Bunch of HUGE ASS SAMOANS... This is the Samoan war prayer they do before every games
scary shit.
Anyway, josh hamilton is a fucking bad ass. He had 98 RBI's at the half way point of the season. Since everyone here is European and don't know anything about baseball, but know a lot about soccer, let me put it in terms you'll understand
98 RBI's by the allstar break is like a goalie kicking 1,000,000 goals in 2 games.
so after that dick bag ruined my br by telling people to call my bluff (i know him irl, he will receive that ass beating of a lifetime) i have to regather the troops and begin to rebuild the br to the monster (small monster) that it was. Basically, i haven't had a winning month in the last 2 months, and i think i finally figured out why. I am playing great, but its not me. I play best when i'm tight/aggressive. The big roll got to me and i was being more loose/passive. I can't play loose/passive...it's not the right match for me. I played T/AG the other night IRL and totally dominated by coming back from $8 and made a 150% increase from what i bought in with. Thats my game, and i'm sticking to it. All this "calling b/c i have outs" and "i'm pot commited" bullshit is going to end. I'm going to play better, post winning session, and fuck my financial status to pieces. Right now i'm financially embarssed. You know who my hero is on here?? Fuckin F4zI. Know why?? Dude spends like 50K on a purse thing and is like "i hope it doesn't get stolen" and you know what? he says FUCK YOU, i'm a baller, i can do this. If it gets stolen, i'll play poker for 10 minutes, cash out, and buy a new one". I always see him post shit like "i lost 10K today, but it's alright b/c in an hour i played 6 hu tables and am up 30K...cuz i'm a fuckin baller"
Thats going to be me in a year or two.
So fuck off odds/pot commitment, i'm ready to ball out of control, and play great poker, and hang out at the WSOP with Ket and Milkman and Elky, and get shitfaced and wake up 2 hrs later and play poker w/ the best and kick their ass. Donkeytest.com said my poker IQ is 104 which is not less than 70 which is above legal retardation, and thats the goal.
June And July (the months you can't spell without JEW) are over, it's August, I'm 21 in December, I'm going to run like a madman at the table, and play correctly, and FUCKIN BALL NIGGA!!!!!!
I said i would post this twice so that everyone got a chance to read it... The guy just sent me 15 bucks... it was a 50 dollar pot so i guess thats like 3/5 of what i put into it?? better than nothing i guess.
Hey everyone, i wanted to say a few things following up on my events today. First off, i want to appologize for disrespecting everything LP stands for. I completely embarassed myself earlier for the following quote which will be censored out.

Obv, i was upset. I am going to report him, because that should not happen. I find that playing 10/25 is much easier to play than 2nl 5nl 10nl b/c they are soft tables with nits and it's very easy to tell what they have. My br is not ready to multitable, but i had the confidence that i could very easily win @ 1-2 tables, and i did. I have made a very nice profit, but now that this has happend, i am going back down. I took a hit in the BR, its about 40 bucks less than where i started at because of the incident today, plus KK vs AA didn't work out, and there were a couple other coolers/bad beats that hit today as well.
Anyway, i'm going to work my way up back to about $250 in the BR and try 10/25 again, but thats beside the point. The main reason for this post is to appologize. The way i figure it, there are always going to be people looking at this website to see if they want to join, and i just scared off potential members, and gave our community a bad reputation. This is something that i was not at all trying to do, i just needed to blow up some steam, and i did it in the wrong way by embarassing myself and Liquidpoker. This will not happen again.
I will copy/paste this post again sometime in like 12 hours that way everyone on both sides of the world can have a chance to read it b4 it gets bumped off the list of blogs.
Again, i am sorry for offending everyone, and hope that i can be forgiven and my reputation as a stupid gun totting american (texan) will remain unscathed.
In the world of poker... i played my bi-weekly cash game with my co-workers today, .25/.50 blinds, bought in with 30 b/c no one realizes that the min/max needs to be 25/50... and everyone bought in with 20...so i didn't want to be rude and get $50 in chips, but i sure as hell wasn't about to short myself, and i'm glad i didn't...
Within the first 30 minutes i was down to 8 dollars when 33 vs AA on an A35 board... I was in mid position, SB raised pf 1.50, i called along with 2 others. Flop comes Ad 3s 5s...SB leads with 2.50 into a $6.50 pot. Fold, i reraise to $7.50... Dealer thinks long and hard, but ended up folding As 2s... SB reraises all-in for another $9.75... I call and flip over trip threes, she flips over trip A's and i am down to 8 bucks...
The good news though is i managed to take that 8 dollars and turn it into 47. I gave 2 to a friend since we couldn't make change so i left up 15 bucks. I'm proud that i came back from short stack and made some cash...
Other than that, thats it. Again, i'm sorry for what i did, and it won't happen again...
