Losing my shorts

The only sure fire way I know of to come out of a poker game with a small fortune is to start the game with a large one……hope this helps clarify things….   :)

?? People actually still play holdem?  I figured that fad would have fizzled out like a bad fart by now.
I mean I loved holdem until it became as saturated with amateurs as SS is.  Now I just play chutes and ladders.  Big money in it.  I just hope no celebrities take it up or they may televise it and ruin it. 
Was that the help you were looking for?

Stevo, my main man,
 
My suggestion is that you outsource your gambling to someone who claims to have a good grasp of probabilities, combinations and permutations and has not smiled, laughed, or looked frightened, confident, or competent in many years and is absolutely fearless yet guardedly conservative in spending other’s money.
 
Where can you find such an outsourced gambling operation?
 
Vinny’s House of Craps, Cards and Associated Quality
 
Please send your money to me and I will wisely gamble it away while keeping and providing detailed records and unique commentary.
 
Your really virtual buddy,
 Vinny

Stevo,
 
Ps, Vinny, will you spend my money on any other vices?
 
Certainly, unfortunately they are too numerous to list.
 
Pss, Where would I find humorless math geeks? –  not the Isixsigma.com forum.
 
I assure you that I am very geeky and quite stodgily and humorlessly at your service.  Honestly, I won’t enjoy taking your money one bit.  I’d simply perform a solemn math based service.
 Vinny

Always interesting input.  
 
Have you done much with game theory?   How and when?   Linked to applications of neoclassical economics a la Nash or more pure mathematics like John von Neumann’s stuff?
 
What’s your background academic, applied or both?   You’re one of the few forum Meister’s that’s hard to get a read on beyond knowing your stuff.
