Imagine pulling the trigger just because you don't have the sack to play with a bad pinky. Fucking Keith.
I don't think I could unless it came to a standoff

A Big Bluff
Can you stand up for what you believe in, or at least bluff?
The bluffer's bluffability is only relevant in relation to the bluffee's gullibilty
Personally, i stand for what i believe in, when applicable, though i don't always practice what i preach.
Circumstances, however, don't always allow one to stand for what one believes. Example: I believe, during the process of my arrest and conviction, that my constitutional rights were violated and that my case should have been overturned. However, standing firmly for said belief would have resulted in a jail (potentially prison depending on the crowding-conditions) sentence of 7-10 years. Not standing for what i believed resulted in a negligble probation term with fines, fees, an overall invasion of my privacy, and minor constraints on the use of my time. Thus, not standing for what i believed allowed me to remain in a position where i can continue to stand up for other issues i believe in.

False. all time is spent equally, not better or worse.

Wow, thanks for that reply. I was about to give up on this thread but you brought it back to life. In fact an amazing reply.
Well, true, you gotta play the player as they say. Most even big dogs will back off if threatened in the "right" way as in a serious threat. It's interesting in poker how much aggression pays off, IF one can convince the opponent they are beat. I don't know if it's being gullible, as much as a con being convincing. Maybe that's the same thing, but there are levels of it and it's all circumstantial, and situational. Was watching an old poker clip where Hellmuth beat the mouth on a hand mouth should have clearly called, but that's why the poker brat has like 14 bracelets and the mouth just keeps blabbing.

I watched a go round with Viffer Peat who actually outbluffed Durr on a big hand the board set it up but still it was a shit ton of money. That doesn't happen much with Durr who is pretty amazing and I like his style too. He does seem quite hated by the other pros, maybe it is because he made his mark online and the brick and mortar pros didn't think he could make it in the flesh.
