He is so fucking awesome that customs airport once stopped him because they thought he was a badass gangster since he was carrying an insane amount of money with him. This is funny because it's actually true lol. I don't really care if Elky joins the scene, but at the moment I'm done with SC2. I wish him luck if he does decide to conform though haha | ||

Think elky has his hands full raking in the money in poker and living the baller life, so i don't expect him to go pro in SC2 ever again and he confirms that in this interview. Its nice to see old school players reappear (kinda) though. | ||

That being said, yes you obviously can win in the long run, I know this. It doesnt change the fact that its gambling, but as I said, there are two types of gambling, Postive and negative expected value. Pit games, such as blackjack, have a long term negative expected value, therefore unbeatable. Poker if you play properlty has a positive expected value, therefore if you consistantly make the correct decisions, you can win. If you were to ask Phil Ivey, Doyle Brunson, hell, even ElkY, you would probably here them say that poker is still gambling. Ill give you a tip though, you say Poker is about reading your opponents emotions and facial expressions? Don't even bother. The only thing you need is discipline, and bankroll management. Poker comes down to making the right decisions the majority of the time, not some "tell" you think you picked up. Anyways thats the last im going to say about it because this thread isn't about that. I agree with what you're saying, other than the blackjack part. Blackjack can be beaten, granted it depends a little bit on the rules of the house but with just basic strategy you can get it to about 50 percent. That says nothing for other "abilities" that could be useful. | ||
