The biggest leak

This is one of the biggest leaks in my game. The villain is a maniac, he's been raising every pot by 10+BB, so i limp with the idea of coming over the top after everyone else has acted.

But I hate gambling in these spots because I know I have a better edge against these guys. So as I get ready to click the Gambooool button, I hesitate for a while.

Then I figure feck it - it's been a frustrating session and he's only got half a stack.

Yet if he was playing deeper and I'd had a winning session....

The Make a Realistic Wish Foundation

I don't watch a whole lot of TV but this is one show I usually try to catch. The comedians purposely try to be offensive and 'push the boundaries'. After this particular skit though, there was uproar in the media and the show has been taken off the air for a few weeks.

Where do you draw the line of what's good comedy and what has crossed the line?
