Because there is no time in logic.

As you can see mathematics and logic have a lot in common, however, in terms of notation there are some obvious differences. Logic usually doesn't reference quantity apart from a sort of singular operator.

In short, Von Neumann & Morgenstern are compressed in the writing of John Forbes Nash (who writes n-tuple theory) for a tuple (reduced by Kakutani).

In other words, Barry Greenstein is correct. There is no time in logic, and mathematics is idiotic.

I love Barry Greenstein's book Ace On The River. I've had like 3 copies of that book and I don't seem to have one anymore.

It was my favorite book I could buy on Full Tilt Poker with rakeback and points. I never found the suit of the ace.

Greenstein was obviously the most humorous author. He is the only player that seems worth of the "NIT" title instead of something like TAG or LAG. Personally, I think it's a lot of fun to be caught out on a bluff in a live game because the chances of the thing occurring "respectfully' are so incredibly low.

Corwin Cole or vital[myth] was my man for Full Tilt. I believe he helped me transfer around $600.00 PokerStars for Full Tilt Poker money. It was the only successful transaction I remember having between the two sites. I'll never guess how much money I still had on sites when I stopped investing but I'm sure I lost a lot more money on Cryptocurrency than I could have ever lose in poker (inflation-adjusted or otherwise).
