Ok...all of the gambling talk has gotten me out of lurking mode. Ummm....for a bunch of analytical buy and hold investors, you guys are surprisingly mo-mo when it comes to gambling. 1) Unless you are counting, the odds are pretty much the same on any particular hand. 2) The hot streaks (and cold) we all experience are simply a function of the amount of time you are sitting at the table. 3) It really doesnt matter what the guy next to you does....though swearing at him can make you feel better if you are losing. cSlacker
