Ultimate Bet has greatly improved its reward program. I think the new "Raise" program is better than Poker Stars for most of my games. PS is still much better for the short stack cash games. UB still only gives you credit for points on hands in which you partcipate, while other sites give you credit on hands where you are dealt cards, but you can earn points much faster with the new system. And many point fee tournaments are included.

FF, the only thing you've demonstrated is that when data doesn't support your firm claims you start into the "its unprovable due to long term complexities" routine. first, you didn't say that up front, you made a statement without and indication you had ZERO support for that statement or that you felt it was impossible to ever support your statement. actual data can be such a pain when one is full of it, right? second, you didn't even try to spin the data - you immediately ran away into the ether of "its too complicate... it is true, but i can't prove it, smart folks just know it is true..." this is very telling that you knew that wasn't possible given the actual data. the truth is, sometimes tax cuts for the rich makes sense and sometimes tax cuts for the lower classes make sense. since you are such an economic guru, i'd appreciate your insight into when trickle down makes sense and when trickle up makes sense.
