So, how do you make good decisions?

As we have seen each of these evaluation and decision-making systems has advantages and disadvantages.  The art of good decision-making lies in the ability to maintain command over both decision-making systems – reason and the emotional  memory – and to recognise their weaknesses and strengths and as a result to be in a position to put them to use when and where it is
appropriate.

I found this by mistake.  LOL.  Good read if you are interested.  X

I don't mind the word hate when it comes to objects and not people, but sometimes the things people do make that word come to mind.

I HATE.........

1. When I get gas and I am ready to go, I have to sit and wait for the car in front of me to move because someone is parked at the front door of the station and no where to move. Can't back up cause a car is waiting for my stop.  Grrrrrrrrrrrr!
2. When I go to the bathroom at a resturant and the worker leaves out without washing hands.  God knows I hope they are going to wash them somewhere else.  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
3. When I am eating out at all-u-can eat chinese or hibauchi and they try to take your plate before you are finished.  My Mom pop a servers hand one day.  Never will forget that.  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
4. When I go to the shoe store and people are trying on shoes with dirty socks or dirty feet.  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
5. When I go to Ross Department Store and there are children running around unattended.  WalMart also.  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
6. When I go to Lowe's where my boyfriend works and all the women are way to nice, or I get ignored because they assume I am looking for him.  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
7. When I am driving my old car with the windows down, sweating my butt off and a BMW pulls up with AC and music blasting.  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
8. When my daughter gets my grandsons to call and say they want to stay the night and later find out she paid them $1 each to call.  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
9. When I get a 1-800 call and I tell them they have the wrong #, but yet they ask is this xxx-xxx-xxxx.  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
10. Last I hate having this much time on my hands, that I could type this many things I hate, including being unemployeed sucks.  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

I have only played at Doyle's, but after I got the new lap, decided not to reinstall all the sites I had before. (I had about 10 sites downloaded at one time.  LOL).  I looked at the video showing how the security was vulnerable, but I don't see an example of seeing others hold cards.  Well just tought I would pass on the information.  X

After revealing security issues at Cereus in May, PokerTableRatings.com now uncovered a gap in the Cake Poker Network security encryption. The XOR system Cake Poker is apparently using can basically be breached by Windows’ built-in calculator, says PTR.

The gap allows a third party, positioned in between the Cake servers and the player, to steal account information, hole cards or even bankrolls. Although PTR’s investigation was limited to Cake Poker and Doyle’s Room, they noted the security risk most probably applied to every member room of the Cake Network. Certain, however, is that both the current and the new Beta (v2.0.) clients are vulnerable.

I really enjoyed this tourney today.  Not because of the cash as much as the players.  I got to last long enough to see so many of my favorite players.  hoodrobert7 took the first KO of the final table.  He was a force that did not want to go.  LOL.  Great game dude.  JosephShowdown was his normal grinding, butt kicking self today.  I had to remind THGE to allow others to KO a few. LOL. 

We had a few side line hecklers and some rude behavior, but all in all the tourney was great.  Beside I made off with some of Poker Curious loot for meself.  ARG!  TY Zimba for your continued dedication to getting us great poker information and of course the freerolls.  X

Dear XPOKERCHIC,

You finished the tournament in 4th place.
There has been $6.13 added to your account.

What are your thoughts on a player this young retiring?  I can understand his point.  You must be pationate about doing something for the long haul.  Below is more info about his retirement.  X

Eastgate has been an excellent ambassador for PokerStars since he was signed up to represent this top online poker room. However, he felt that his lack of ambition and fire for the game was unfair to the site and to his fans. “Poker is about determination and excitement, and if Peter lacks this in his game, the right decision is to take a break,” said Poker Stars in a statement. “Peter has played amongst world champions and he has carried his title in the most admirable fashion.”
