Can only the moderator start new polls? If so, can we start a new one about where people play online? The old one is 1.5 years old and had few responses....

Let's just start a discussion <g>. Maybe I'm on a really, really bad streak, but it seem that the quality of play on Yahoo has really dropped off the table....

Excite, Netscape, Webcrawler, Pogo, and Ea.com are all the same thing, its the same game provider....
In the 1900's - ratings mean absolutely nothing on Yahoo, except, perhaps, someone who is otherwise incompetent has enjoyed a combination of good cards, decent...
This reminds me of a game I played the other night on Yahoo. It was in the social lounge. There was no history on either player. It was only the 2nd game...
I know what you mean. Getting a game in the advanced lounge is a pure nightmare -- I'll often go to intermediate just so I can play a game. My rating over...
Yeah, that's the curse of all your euchre biorhythms being down at once. I'm on the same down streak myself, but at least I haven't crashed like the market -...
But please understand, that it works the other way around for your opponents, which is why most people are reluctant to let you on the table. This is the major...
Yeah if I had a high rating also, I probably would not want some low rated player at my table because of the strong downside. But man those jerks that kick me...
I boot as quickly as possible because (a) I risk losing someone I want at my table if that slot's full and (b) no one has a right to play anywhere; if someone...
Well I have been playing since 1998. Learned this game in college. Total games played. I don't know, I've played alot in real life. But as for online. I...
Ed, The spelling errors are insignificant. I can usually figure out what is meant or intended. But the run on sentences can get difficult to follow. Gerry's...
I generally play at Playsite, which doesn't give you the option of managing a table. I play (usually) with anyone who joins the table as it is set; and I feel...
Bumppo admits error of his ways! Natty Bumppo -- after consultation with "Dr. Math" and consideration of Bimbert's repostulation of Jed Taylor's formula --...
One of my pet peeves is when someone says something is impossible to predict. Being an engineer myself, any good engineer should be able to predict almost...
... As Jed said, that's exactly right. ... Keep in mind it's nothing personal (how could it be? -- they don't know you). The first few times it bothered me,...

... First of all, I really value Natty's input, but I do wish he'd step in and speak for himself instead of "passing notes in homeroom." ... C(16,3), ... The...
That if something is mathematically possible doesn't make it Probable. The player still has to play it perfectly or know how to play it perfectly. In order...

Ace of spades? Why would anyone toss a winner away? And the 10 of clubs, while meaningless, is a tad odd, too. What's the point in that? With three clubs,...
... That is a very interesting and true comment. I recently taught a young nephew how to play the game. He asked how long this would take to learn the game....
... First of all, in my opinion, STD is basically played from an assumptive and defensive posture. You have to assume no one is particularly strong in...
... What the math here shows us is the *probability*, i.e. how likely it is that either opponent has both bowers. In this case, it's roughly 1-in-7. In other...
... I agree. I'll toss a K any day to short-suit myself, but I'll keep an A. Tossing the As increases my odds of being able to take a spade trick, but...
There was a discussion a few weeks ago about pitching an early A being a signal to your P that you have that suit covered. I've played using this strategy for...
