Mav, you are quite an interesting person. You have several redeeming qualities and ideas worth considering.

Sometimes, your ideas are clever, thoughtful and even honorable.

I always try to give back to the poker community with the occasional PSA, because that's who I am.

No pressure to toke a machine. You ever play on one of those electronic tables? Or would that take some of the joy out of stiffing the dealer?

I don't like the machines. I did play and beat the HU hold'em machine at Venetian. It seemed fairly aggressive, but when you went super aggro back at it, it seemed like you could get it to lay down hands.

There's no 'it' in Texas Hold'Em Heads Up. There are 3 'it's'.

Observed:

It called 3 check-raises with an intermediate hand.

When you're first to bet and always bet it will call or fold when you have a relatively strong hand and raise when you have a relatively weak hand.
