You sound so much more rational and intelligent when discussing poker. It's like you are completely different person than the ranting, grade school insult-chucking fool we see discussing politics. I am 100% sincere when I say this Beldin, if you took this attitude, this tone and applied it to other topics you would gain far more respect for your opinions.
Why bring your condescending attitude and tone to what was a quite interesting and informative series of posts?

(Sincerely, if you would stop this attitude, this tone and just lost it somewhere in a closet or someplace, we could all be quite pleased with your comments.)
Whatever you're getting all tilty about here, its your problem, not mine.

You surely don't disagree... I absolutely do not recognize him as the same person from this thread and the other ones, do you?
That's because you're listening, not lecturing, and you understand that this is fact.
Nothing of the kind, the difference is in this instance you are giving a reasoned opinion about something, in the health debate you are raging out of control because someone does not accept your point of view.

Dutch, I'm not giving an opinion OF ANY KIND here.
The definition of 'fold equity' is a matter of FACT, not opinion.

You can surely disagree with what the fold equity of a certain situation IS, but that doesn't change the definition of the term.


You don't understand the facts about socialized medicine, and it gets in the way of your opinions that universal care is better than best advancing care.
You're confusing your opinions with facts.

No

Yes, you are. You have assembled some facts and ideas in your head about health care systems and you have discarded other facts and ideas. The reason behind your choice of facts appears to be self-interest, which is not necessarily a bad thing. However this process is known as "forming an opinion". As long as you try to pretend that it's something else, something 'objective', you will continue to make yourself look stupid.
