Hey

Read a bit of the link

Generally i dont agree , the situation is more complex also theres something crucial why did the Jews form Israel ?

Well u have to go back in history they wanted to form a state in the USA
after world war 2 but the USA refused...seeems the palestinian sheperds
didnt have much choice however

+ the USA have a crucial role through they jew lobbis + comercial interests in middle east and they act are responsible for the state of israel without USA help Israel no longer existed

OFC muslim fanatics and bombers are awfull and the extreme poverty + lack of education explain that interesntgly the fanatism fuel feeds on extreme poverty and ignorance and i dont see the USA interested in reverting that

i also see bombing as a last resort If they e fighting a nation wiht super advanced arms and planes what do u want them to do ?

I dont forget they only have stones to throw against tanks

I think the blame here is 50 50
there is no victim here , israel and palestine are guilties

its really a shame that 40 years on or more this conflict never ends

Spoiler

Poverty exists everywhere, Gaza/Palestine is not a poor place.
You can check some internet pictures see how beautiful the places are.
After each conflict escalation, they receive tons of money from all over the world (countries that want to help) but a big majority of the resources (money, concrete, rubber, medicine) goes to building tunnels and their self-made rockets "KASAM" and so on. I'm not sure how their education works because there are many peaceful citizens that don't take a part in the Terrorism, though, there are many places that they educate children to hate and destroy, they put guns in children's hands.

As a resident of Israel, I'm aware Israel is not Tabula Rasa free of guild, we have soldiers that commit crimes but they are then sentenced for this, and I know this. But if u go back in history you can see that They never wanted to co-exist, they wanted to clean Israel of Jews. every time any opportunity was given they didn't take it, didn't even recognize Israel as a country of Jews until I don't know .. like 90s or even post 2k.. Don't say who this land belongs to in its roots, because that's going back to the Bible n stuff which is ALL not relevant today.

Today what is relevant is what I wrote about them using their people as human shields, firing rockets from out Hospitals, storing ammunition under schools and civilian's houses, Israel tries to target the terrorists, Hamas targets any living being, heck they even execute their own people for not cooperating or sth.

Bombing is last resort, I agree but what is their mission ? resort for what ?
Survival ? that's wrong, if they would invest time,money resources into improving life in Gaza, they would be in super-good shape, but they use it for Warfare. Let's not go into conspiracy because there are theories that Russia, US, Iran, Lebanon are involved and believing these theories is getting ourselves into a infinite loop which ignores the actual facts we face today.

I'm sorry I will not reply on that matter anymore :) After all, this is a poker blog not a political discussion place

Interesting that poker blog turned into politics. I think we cant blaim the whole nation (when you say Israel and Palestine are guilties). We can just blame the guys who give orders and who obey orders. Probably also are guilty people who vote for them and still will vote.

What I hate in this situation, is that USA is a worlds policeman and punishing all countries that do "bad things", but they dont punish themselfs, and dont punish Israel.

Hey guys,

I agree. This is not the proper forum these kind of discussions. We would prefer these type of discussions were kept off forum.

We prefer to keep our discussions to issues involving poker.

Regards

Laz.

P.S. It ends NOW

Well it would be interesting to see this post in the general section (israel-palestine) because i think its an interesting discussion

Overall i think israely and palestine will obv defend theyr countries in such a discussion so its more important to me to see what the world of poker thinks of this never ending conflict

You're welcomed to open a thread for this, but how is not valid to hear what people from Israel&Palestine say but rather hear outside opinions ?
You think they are not as biased by what their media shows them ?

Hi guys!

Finally achieved SuperNova. Decided to slow down until the end of the month, gonna focus more on studying, might record a session for Uri Peleg's coaching.

Also, gonna try to work more on my Mental Game, recent events made me realize I'm not as good at it as I thought I was.

Year so far, all 200NL Zoom:

As I calculated, your win range is 3,3 BB/100 hands. Is it considered to be a good winrate for NL200? Could it be that you win more money playing NL100 ? I am not sure if difference is big in NL200

OK. Since in the introduction it is mentioned that the op would possibly comment some hands I decided to post one :)

Full Tilt, $0.25/$0.50 No Limit Hold'em Cash, Rush, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

Kind of firing without feeling well about it.

Sizing also is sth I m totally unaware if it is good or not.

SB: $82.60 (165.2 bb)
Hero (BB): $50 (100 bb)
UTG: $20.05 (40.1 bb)
MP: $34.55 (69.1 bb)
CO: $56.75 (113.5 bb)
BTN: $28.35 (56.7 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A K
2 folds, CO raises to $1.50, BTN calls $1.50, SB folds, Hero raises to $6, CO calls $4.50, BTN folds

Flop: ($13.75) 5 7 J (2 players)
Hero bets $5, CO calls $5

Turn: ($23.75) 6 (2 players)
Hero bets $6, CO calls $6

River: ($35.75) 9 (2 players)
Hero checks, CO checks

Results:

Spoiler

$35.75 pot ($1.75 rake)
Final Board: 5 7 J 6 9
Hero showed A K and lost (-$17 net)
CO showed Q Q and won $34 ($17 net)

Just the fact that after 5 days straight winning, a bad session was enough to make me suffer.

I think 3.3bbs/100 is a very good winrate at nl200 zoom, but I am running over EV.

No, I don't think I have a winrate at nl100 zoom that is double the one on nl200.

I think turn we could give up since 88 and 99 are calling happily, but second barrel with AK is fine. River don't bluff, we are not at the bottom of our range and river helps villain.

Hi guys!

I got back from my vacation to the USA two weeks ago, decided to make a little report for you:

We got on a plane at 6 am in Lisbon, headed to Munich to catch the trans-atlantic plane that would fly us to San Francisco. There was a gap of 6 hours between planes, so we went for a quick visit to the center of Munich:

I enjoyed the city, nice, clean and crowded streets.

Back to the airport, 12h flight to San Francisco. I slept, saw a movie, listen to music, read Poker book, slept again... But the plane was very good and the food too, 5 stars to Lufthansa. We even got a champagne bottle as courtesy for helping out an old lady that was feeling sick (2 neurologists and 1 general practicioner for an anxiety attack, yey)

Finally at the SF airport we went to pick up our rental car, Chevrolet Captiva, with the essential GPS. 5 people plus bags for 15 days, the car was completely overloaded.

San Francisco, very very pretty, i think it has character, probably the most beautiful city of the west coast (at least that I visited) Some photos:

Opera House:

Downtown:

Typical SF street, with huge slopes:

Panoramic photo:

One of the most famous SF views:

The trip to Alcatraz was a highlight, very good Audiotour, gave a lot of context to the visit:

Sea lions at the peer:

And last but not least, the almighty "Golden Gate":

After SF we got in the car and headed South by the coast, first stop was Santa Cruz:

Unfortunately the weather was not helping:

Next we did the "17 mile road", a paid road with lots of great views, the cloudy day took half the fun:

We stoped by a fantastic litle village called "Carmel", really fell in love with this litle town of small houses and cozy environment:

The weather eventually gave us a break:

We stoped by "Hearst Castle", propriety that belong to the journalism tycoon:

Next village was "Solvgang", the most danish town in the US:

After many and many Kilometers (or miles I guess :P ) we reached Santa Bárbara, coastal village near Los Angeles:

Regarding, Los Angeles, I was told before that "it was nothing special", and indeed it was not as good as SF or Las Vegas:

"Chinese Theater", place of the big movie premieres:

Signatures on the concrete:

The Mall nearby was nice:

The famous "stars" all over the place:

Area view:

In the afternoon we went to the Warner Bros. studios. I like it a lot, 2 hours of exhibits, studios and overall ambient:

Batman movies "Museum":

"Fake" streets:

"Pool" where "Free Willy" was recorded:

Another Batman one:

Unaltered "Friends" studio:

Ring a bell? :) :

Next stop "Downtown", with the usual skyscrapers:

The "Disney Concert Hall":

We ended the day at Griffith Observatory, where you can have a somewhat decent view to the famous letters:

Tesla Coil in action:

Finally we went Beverly Hills e Rodeo Drive, the fancy part of town:

Before we left to San Diego there was still time to check out Santa Monica Peer:

Next post: San Diego, Death Valley and Las Vegas.

Cheers! Hoped you enjoyed it.
