One of the aspects of poker I find so alluring is that there are no absolute truths to be found in the game.

But I have a few minutes to go in my lunch hour and feel like exercising my fingers. Well, if you don’t want to waste your time to read the insanity that Iggy is posting throughout the day. Maybe not such a good idea if you’re at work, as I started laughing so hard I…

OK, tried this before and when I posted the Haloscan comment thingy went away. I think it’s easier to comment using Haloscan and so I’m going back to it, but I want to make sure it doesn’t vanish when I post again. So I’ll post this and see if it works. It should, dammit. Real…
