Sometimes I feel like intelligence is a huge geometric intersection of what everyone can understand. The more people included the smarter you are. In poker the narrative of skill breaks down from what older players find obvious to what is or isn't obvious to the competition at the time. I don't play much any more outside of a few traveling trips and online free sites. Today I think it would be really tough to re-experience the online poker world like it was in the early millennium.
The narrative of a poker game is quite exciting these days unlike when it was more mathematical or logical. Players are increasing their understanding of game psychology (when they're serious). There are a lot of unknowns in poker. I'd be happy if it was easier to play more, but it's not really an available feature at the moment.
Grubby defeated 'OneTime' in Orc (OneTime) vs. Night Elf (Grubby-theorized) while OneTime was participating in a Warcraft III: Frozen Throne event in China. The game was played on Lost Temple. This game took place in 2008 before the Beijing Olympics. The game was Orc @ 3 o'clock vs. Night Elf @ 6 o'clock. Abusing a fast expansion, the Night Elf player won the game with Bear Druids.
This game inspired the famous Death Note controversy:
Years ago, Nazgul asked me about LiquidPoker Pants, a person I met in China. Upon reflection, I decided that I probably met LiquidPoker pants as a consequence of one or two things. The first might be giving $5 to a wino, and the second might be buying McDonalds for a chinese boy. You're not supposed to do either of these things according to superstition and folklore.
Do you think it's possible to skip something in our stream of consciousness? Like when we attempt to deliberately block something out it shows up the very next thing in our next sentence. If I think, "I won't go to the mall today, but I don't want anyone to know, so I won't mention it." Then my next sentence will probably involve something mall-related at a considerable distance.
It seems almost impossible to do anything other than sublimate your avoided thought into the next impulse. I suppose some people are better at this than others. If I had the perfect range-finder I'd probably excel at conversation, but I rarely hit anything other than aces. I guess that means that I'm quasi-autistic, like I have the same function but not the disorder.
I was pretty good at poker. I got to around $40/hr at NL50 back when things were pretty juicy. Dunno how they are these days.
