Talk:Two Plus Two Publishing

message: I'm not sure whether a (partial) list of books published by Two Plus Two deserves to be listed in the article, but I had it handy, so I dumped it in. Also, I'm 90% sure that Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players was NOT their first book, so I removed that sentence. From the copyright dates and ISBN numbers, I would guess that The Theory of Poker (Sklanksy/Malmuth) was the first book published by Two Plus Two.--Toms2866 17:28, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Big bet

message: This sentence does not make sense to me: "In a $2/$4 Texas hold 'em game, the big bet would be $4, wagered in each bet of the last two cards. The $2 would be the small bet, wagered during all other bets of the game. Given that a small bet is generally half of a big bet and that a small blind is generally half of the small bet."
Doesn't $2/$4 mean $2 small blind, $4 big blind? By the logic above, a small bet is $4 (double the small blind) and a big bet is $8 (double the small bet), or have I missed something?Robogymnast (talk) 13:16, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No, not in this context.  Big bet is a limit term, not a no limit one.  When talkking about limit poker "a 2/4 game" normally has blinds of $1/$2.  In no limit, "a 2/4 game" would have blinds of $2/$4, with $4 the minimum bet at all times. Notice that the first phrase in the article does say this is about fixed limit betting games, not no limit. 2005 (talk) 23:06, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Open-ended (poker)

message: The term originated with draw poker, and is really meaningful only in that game where the distinction between an outside and inside draw is critical--outside draws are sometimes playable and inside draws rarely if ever are. But the term is also used in games like Texas Hold'em where it is less relevant, because many inside draws can be played profitably and some outside draws cannot be, other factors usually being more important.
Don't know about draw poker, but the Hold'em statement is pure nonsense. There are many pots where you can't play an inside, but can play an outside draw, there are pots where you can play both inside and outside etc. but there is no pot which allows you to fold an outside draw, but call with an inside draw for +EV. Total nonsense. Admiral Norton (talk) 22:57, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed it.  The statement was either nonsense or confusing and non-encyclopedic. 2005 (talk) 23:05, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The original statement was mine, and I stand by it, though I can understand removing it on the basis that it's not attributed to a well-known source.  I'm confused about your disagreement though--you give examples where each is playable and where each is not other factors being more important, which is exactly what I said (and what any other pro would agree with).  And I'll give you exactly an example of what you say doesn't exist: let's say the board is 9-8-6-3 (suits different so that they don't complicate things).  Depending on the exact size of the pot and implied odds (especially at no limit), it's very easy to imagine a situation in which one would play Q-J (an inside draw) but would fold 4-5 (a worthless open-ender).  For the 4-5, catching a 7 makes you a straight that's almost certain to be beat, while catching the deuce makes a better one, but still beatable.  If the Q-J, on the other hand, catches the 10, it's the nuts and likely to get paid off by someone with a 7, and he might also win by catching a Q or J. --LDC (talk) 20:13, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not commenting on the other point, but the labguage was simply way too generic.  What about on the flop versus the turn, no limit versus limit, against a preflop raiser versus a check raise from the big blind... there are just too many variables to make a secondary statement about this (since the article isn't about gutshots).  The main point of what is an open ended draw is clear so its best to just stick to that. 2005 (talk) 21:26, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

text: I understand simplifying the language--I was just trying to point out that the term is really meaningful only in Draw poker, though I hear it being used in hold'em all the time in ways that imply "open-end good, gutshot bad", which is a gross oversimplification that often leads to bad decisions (not that I have anything against other poker players making bad decisions :-) --LDC (talk) 15:33, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:110th Street (Manhattan)

message: How exactly would you go about "merging" a dab page for subway stations with an article about a street? Not rhetorical, I want to understand what's being proposed here.
Seems more straightforward to add a link to 110th Street (Manhattan) to the dab page. Which I see no reason not to do now, while we continue to discuss this. Dpbsmith (talk) 11:38, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Right; don't do a merge, or a deletion, or a subway station dab or other kind of dab.  Make it a redirect.  34th Street does it correctly.  It's a redirect to the Manhattan street article, which contains a subway section.  Of course, some day some editor may make articles for the 34th and 110th Streets of other places, as in the case of Fulton Street, at which time the redirect will become a street dab, but never a subway dab.

Talk:Yerself Is Steam

message: Removed this paragraph from the Miscellanea section: 
On releases of the album where "Very Sleepy Rivers" is stretched out to multiple tracks (see above), there are, apparently, somewhere in the 90s, extremely low bass frequencies (below 20 Hz, or below the threshold of most human hearing).  These won't do anything on most normal home speakers, and were supposedly included by the band as a prank to damage the high quality speakers used to master the album. According to legend, the low frequencies damaged the particular Columbia studio where the album was being mastered.
It contains 'apparently' and 'supposedly' and 'according to legend', but most importantly the prank story doesn't make any sense. Mastering speakers can not be damaged by low frequencies. The "legend" is nonsense, as anybody working in professional audio can tell you. Besides, the mastering engineer would spot these "hidden" sounds anyway. If they're on the CD, they will not have gone unnoticed and they certainly will not have "damaged" a "studio". This is information of Paul Is Dead quality.

message: I read: Drugs which are not used medically, and thus their possession and supply is prohibited; e.g. cannabis and LSD and I dont think it is quite true.

message: The English language article in Wikipedia states that Hube’s right arm was amputated after he was injured at the Battle of Verdun in 1916. Page 350 of James Holland’s Sicily '43: The First Assault on Fortress Europe also states the same information.
The German and Italian language articles in Wikipedia however state that it was the left arm that was amputated and that it occurred in 1914 . While no sources are stated in the German article, the Italian article quotes page 162 of Günther Fraschka’s Knights of the Reich
At the website https://ww2gravestone.com/people/hube-hans-valentine-der-mensch/ there are two photos one of which show Hitlers shaking Hube’s right hand and the other with the right arm bent while the left is straight by his side.
The blog entry http://worldwartwo.filminspector.com/2017/11/hans-hube-greatest-german-general.html has a larger photo of Hitler shaking Hube’s right hand. It also has taken from his left side another which appears to show a missing left arm.
