Formosus Viriustus Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Free ! All your Personal Defects Revealed ! It's a heavy burden that has been thrust upon my shoulders. I didn't ask for it, I'd just as soon watch Star Trek. It was thrust upon me by circumstances. Some are born great. Some achieve greatness. Some have greatness thrust upon them. (I belong in the first category, this thing here has nothing to do with greatness at all, it's just a burden.) Yes, they have! (The blog post will come shortly...it's a bit raw right now, too much so for public viewing ) And I can be gullible...I believe people at face value, sure, but it's because I am that brutally honest with everyone. Then again, I've become pretty good at reading people; amazing what playing poker all your life will teach you Now doc, let's analyse that a bit more thoroughly. Brutally and honestly, as you like it. So you are brutal and you are honest at the same time ? Fine. But that's a dangerous combination at best. I know what I'm talking about. I've been there, I've bought the t-shirt. But TBTG I've never been gullible. You on the other hand are so gullible as to think that other people have as little manners as you ? That because you hurt their feelings day in and day out and constantly tell them those annoying truths about themselves that they'd really rather not hear, they would be so uncivilised as to do the same to you ? As if the kind of people you hang out with were even able to ever tell the truth, anyway. That you are a personality test addict reveals a lot of underlying existential 'angst' , of course. You are never certain about who you are exactly. You think you are one person one moment and another one the next. La Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docoflove1974 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Actually, I prefer Chicago, roll your own...sometimes Omaha. Depends on my mood. At any rate, Formosus, I feel relieved that you can read the depth of my personality so well...I feel I owe you something for this. Really. You have helped me seen the light. I thank you.

Ursus Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Why all this eagerness for showing our defects to the World? Why should we deny the World the pleasure of discovering them by itself? As a sociopath with a sense of honor, I thought it only fair to warn everyone I might go postal someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your more than welcome, doc. Omaha, alright, at least that's a bit of a game. That's a bit of a challenge. What do you need to win a pot in Texas Hold'em ? A pair ? Two pair at the most. Now in Omaha, you know you're nowhere unless you've got at least a straight or a full house, and even then. My favourite game however is Seven Card Stud, Doctor Pepper. Deuces, fours and tens are wild. Now, there, don't even think of putting any money in the pot unless you've got at least a straight flush. (Five of a kind, beats a royal flush.) You can make it even more interesting of course by playing high-lo-split if there's more than two of you. Who wins ? Who cares ? You're only playing for matches anyway. You thought that Poker was an American game, didn't you ? That you actually invented it ? In New Orleans or somewhere like that, around the middle of the 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docoflove1974 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Yep, Omaha is a cool game...but Chicago is better: seven stud, but highest ace in the hole splits the pot. And I don't really like playing any game with wilds...less strategy involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelia Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Ok, one thing I'm NOT is a push-over, the rest I guess might apply (to a certain extent) :-) Emo Kid You are 29% Rational, 43% Extroverted, 29% Brutal, and 0% Arrogant You are the Emo Kid, best described as a quiet pussy! You tend to be an intuitive rather than a logical thinker, meaning you rely more on your feelings than your thoughts. Not only that, but you are introverted, gentle, and rather humble. You embody all the traits of the perfect emo kid. You are a push-over, an emotional thinker, gentle to the extent of absurdity, and so humble that it even makes Jesus puke. (And Jesus almost never pukes, being immortal and not requiring an act of puke to dispell toxins from his corporeal manifestation.) If you write poetry, you no doubt write angsty, syrupy lines about depression, sadness, and other such redundant states of emo-being that go something like this: life is a spike / upon which i have impaled mysefl / fuck you dad So, your personality is defective because you are too gentle, rather underconfident in yourself, decidely lacking in any rational thought, and also a bit too inhibited. Plus, your poetry really upsets your father. I probably made you cry, didn't I? Fucking Emo Kid. To put it less negatively: 1. You are more INTUITIVE than rational. 2. You are more INTROVERTED than extroverted. 3. You are more GENTLE than brutal. 4. You are more HUMBLE than arrogant. Compatibility: Your exact opposite is the Smartass. Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Hippie, the Televangelist, and the Starving Artist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formosus Viriustus Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) Yep, Omaha is a cool game...but Chicago is better: seven stud, but highest ace in the hole splits the pot. And I don't really like playing any game with wilds...less strategy involved. Yes, well, we used to have a little side-bet on the highest spade. Table or hole card. That is pretty much like Chicago. Wild card games are fun because they make nonsense of the regular ranking of hands as the 'wild card poker paradox' explains. The way we played it, Seven Card Stud Dr Pepper with 12 or even 14 wild cards, your chances of making anything less than three of a kind are virtually zero. You're most likely to make at least four of a kind. It's not serious poker of course. I learned that game in the early 70s from an ex-GI. Until the arrival of internet poker and the hole cameras a few years ago card poker wasn't popular at all over here. But now we can see it every night for hours on tv, and it seems like about half of all under 25s play it on the internet nowadays. We have a dice game based on poker that is rather popular. I think you have that too in the States. So, I take it you just play around the kitchen table really ? Don't think you can play Chicago in a casino or on the net.
