MAILBAG #2

posted by stevesbets

It’s about the time of year again, the weather’s getting colder, the thanks are getting ready to be given, and it’s time for my Holiday Mailbag (Note, I have replaced links with XXXX):

From Jordan:

am writing this on the behalf on XXXX of 2p2
He is the author of the e-books two e-books
Given that your blog comments from your posts, we can assume that you have a solid based of readers. XXXX would like for people to review his book – The No Limit Workbook: Exploiting Regulars -XXXX

If you would like to review this book, please post the link XXXX on your blog, with it linking back to XXXX
You get the opportunity to review a great book for free, and the fact you need to review the book will ensure you get maximum value of information from the book.

Jordan, I have to say, when people ask for favors, they usually are not kind enough to offer me homework to ensure that i get “maximum value” from doing them that favor. The author of this email must have been a lawyer.

From Denise:

Please help me get my online account for me to use in Niles, Michigan instead of Texas or California, I need this account Niles, Michigan right away. I know you are powerful. Thank you Steve.

Denise, I do not dispute a single thing you write in your email, hopefully some bankers from Niles will view this blog and fix your plight. Thank you for your message.

From Patrick:

I would like to know my banking info for an application I’m filing out, I’m away from my info at the moment.

Patrick, you have come to the right place! I know a guy who has everyone’s bank info…

From Gus:

Subject: I WHANT LEARNING

Body: Yeah man ! well ? I read we can send you a message , and i would like know some advice about this game … what is your strategie post-flop… turn … where did you had find all this money man ,  for playing head’s up ?? i whant be a professional me to.Give me some advice thank man:=)

Gus, learning is a lifelong pursuit and I really whant it too.

From Tadas:

Hi i wanted to say that i am one of your biggest fans i spectate almost always when i find you online i just wanted to know what is optimum age to play poker in high stakes?

Tadas, like anyone I appreciate being spectated. I’d say the optimum age to play online poker is 13 because your mind is not quite developed enough to be bored by the monotony of online gambling. Conversely, given the population of people that play penny slots nonstop at the showboat in Atlantic City, maybe the optimum age is 83…

From Jane:

Steve, you seem introspective and thoughtful, I don’t understand why you don’t understand religion. Just look around at this world. Do you really believe that it was not created by a force greater than humanity? That defies logic and I know you are logical. Like Sarah Palin, I believe we could not have evolved from fish that cannot feel things like love, hate, greed, pride and all the other emotions that make us human. Please consider my comments in reevaluating your position.

Jane, I’m sorry, I cannot respond seriously to anyone who quotes Sarah Palin in her argument.

From Vijayalakshmi:

Subject Line: I have Some Questions

Body: Questions

Yup, these are my readers.

    The first guy’s name is Jordan and you responded to him as Robert. What’s that about?

  3. Julio Alberto says:

    LOL
    I love it!
    God doesn’t exist btw.

  4. Luke Kim says:

    You should have mailbag segments much more frequently. These questions are hysterical to the point where I doubt their authenticity!

  5. stevesbets says:

    Thanks Kitchen Sink, I made the update.

    The questions are 100% authentic. My blog draws out the interesting ones

  6. Joe says:

    Steve, with the recent rumors about AI returning to Philly, what are your thoughts on him playing for the sixers again? Would you like to see him in uniform again or rather he remain retired? What do most sixer fans think about this?

  7. Kevin Stevens says:

    I’m going to start sending you insane messages to try to make the cut.
