What’s Chinese cooking got to do with it?

Although I am sure some of their sauce recipes go back many generations :)

Cut him some slack. It was an allegory. He was simply advising us, that try as he might, he can not figure out the thinking of smart people.

It was just a reference to a silly post in another thread.  I just think they're wise in guarding their recipes, tho I'm getting close.  I think the secret is using the right amount of sherry/mirin and reducing it properly in cat broth.

No big secret I don't think. Add MSG. Guaranteed improvement.

Right, I actually meant to include that in my post, and then got sided tracked with the idea of cat broth - suddenly no MSG.

Coreece brother,

Screw the thread drift people, take a look at North Vietnamese recipes. It's more like Chinese than the South but simpler. You just need to freshen some things up a bit.

Damn, here I am talking with you people and I missed late registration for a poker tourney I wanted to play.

Did you used to get on the DZ.com poker games way back when.  I think Billy Vance put it together.  I used to play a lot of online poker.  Was fun for a while.

I remember guys talking about it way back and thought about giving it a try, but I don't think I ever did.  Who knows, I probably deposited some money and busted out before the tournament even started, lol.

I think they used PokerStars, but most U.S players can't play there  anymore.  I know there have been some guys that were doing well enough to actually leave the "land of the free" to keep their accounts open.

I thought about asking people here if they're interested, but I play on ACR and BOL and it doesn't look like they have an easy option to start a private game.  Most are started by popular poker forums where you register on their website to get the passwords.

Competition's pretty tight nowadays given it's been about 15 years since the poker boom.

Ho hum!

The Epoch Times are another biased newspaper.

It is handed out for free in Vancouver.

Equally silly are the coloured inserts in other newspapers that are written and paid for by Bejing. They are pure press releases with grammatical errors.

You are never going to hear the whole story from any single media source. You need to scan 5 or 6 media sources to hear three or more sides of any news story.

For example, when I worked at Perris, I used to drive 40 minutes to an obscure newsstand because they sold: the NY Times, Chicago Tribune, Manchester Guardian, Toronto Globe and Mail, Paris Match, der Spiegel, etc. I needed to scan all those different news sources to learn what was happening outside the Los Angeles Basin.

I got sick of it when the trend started of people playing 5 screens at once and doing nothing until they went all in on pairs.  You knew who they were because they always missed their turn until their timer started going off and gameplay would completely drag.

So has anyone determined if Epoch is an evil right wing Trump loving rag yet, or do they have any decent reading material?

There are guys playing 20+ tables at a time now.  Dragging doesn't seem to be so bad anymore with faster time clocks and an added 60 second time bank that you must initiate to use.  Once that bank runs out you can earn 1 second per 10 hands, but sometimes you'll still find your self at a slow table.

The Newest thing that has came out in the past year to counter that is Blitz or Boost poker (each site has their own name for it)  Basically it's the same as regular poker,(cash or tourney style) but you can fold at anytime even if it's not your turn, and then you're immediately transferred to a new table with a new hand and different players. (other players will see that you folded only when it would've been your time to act)  It sort of mimics the idea of playing multiple tables given that you can see new hands just as fast as you can fold them until you get your monster and flop a set or whatever.  There's usually a pool of 50-100 guys you're playing with.

Also, when playing multiple tables or Blitz/Boost, it's harder to learn the other players' styles, so a big thing now is the ability to use trackers that legally collect info on the habits of other players at your tables so that over time, even if you don't remember the guy, you have his stats giving you a better idea of how to play him, if at all.

No just that they're not a foreign news source and have the right to do either, just like other Americans.

We all know that if a right winger came in here with concerns about Mexican American or Arab/Muslim American news sources and all their foreigner BS, the left learners here would be talking a different game.  I'm sure we'd hear words like xenophobic, and Hitler.
