I've also enjoyed meeting a pretty cool, very diverse group of people. Sure, we have our resident psychos and WAY too many Canadians, but what large group ISN'T at least a little bit disfunctional?

See, and here I was thinking that there's a disproportionate amount of Floridians on this board. You don't see any other state with its own tag on fark.com do you???

No other stare is worthy. Well, maybe CA. Seriously though, other than CA, NY, and FL, what other states can stand alone? Jersey - the armpit of America? I don't think so. You MIGHT be able to make a case for Texas, Hawaii, Alaska, and Colorado, maybe even North Carolina, but that's really stretching it. And all those 2004 election "red" bible states... pfft - who needs em?

LOL. Florida's gay.

Print it.

he is right, Florida is totally queer.

And that is saying something coming from me considering the little shitstorm I riled up over the weekend.

And wasn't Florida red last time I checked?

One of the most important things I've learned from this forum is I'm not as good as I thought I was. I used to think I was really great but I am constantly humbled by the way good players on here can actally explain there moves and why they made them with the utmost detail. I find that often I make moves not really being able to explain why. This forum has helped me realize why I make those moves, good or bad. I love the cast of characters we have around here, I feel it's a really good mix and there isn't much b.s. to sift through to get to the good stuff. I definitely dont want this forum to turn into what it did when we had the freeroll. I hope the forum grows, but in a postitive manner. There is alot of priceless info on here that you won't learn in books because poker is a constantly changing landscape. It is an invaluable tool to have a place you can discuss hands and address questions you may have at the click of a mouse.

Add the freerolls, the hats, the deals, etc.... and a moderator that is an honest poker player (oxymoron?) who really gives expert advice on damn near every thread and I have yet to find a better poker forum on the net.

At least most of the other states do a good job of counting votes, lol.

I'm so sick of "politically correct" bullshit. How is it that the minorities are getting there way over the majority? Isn't our country a democracy based on a system of individual votes? So if the majority wants prayer or pledge of allegiance in school, why is it the minority that gets their way? That, and suing for ridiculous shit like spilling coffee on yourself, and actually winning the case, has all just really pissed me off. If you don't like the term "gay" and don't realize it's not a derogatory statement towards gays in the context that it's used, well, get over it! The majority shouldn't change their ways to please the minorities when the subject in question is little more than one's own perception of the meaning. I'm sorry if you don't approve of the way people choose to talk, but life's a bitch, get a helmet.
