Thanks, Steven, for the comments. I think they are good, and I think
they close out this discussion well. I don't think you are a "pussy"
(a word choice I'm not fond of) for not wanting to beat this dead
horse. I am certainly not mad at you; in fact, I'm not really upset
at anyone individually. I just think the situation as a whole is too
complex to really assess. I am unable to figure what it is I
expected from Greg's game, and why specifically it's not
meeting those expectations. It's clear that while maybe for you and
Joe, the game is a true "home game" thing, it isn't that way for other
players (specifically me and Nick), and that the context is
complicated. This discussion has convinced me that I'm probably best
off treating it like a casino experience and seeing how that plays
out. Given that I've just reviewed my 2004 results for the game, and
I am definitely a losing player at Greg's game (but not, it seems, in
any other games I regularly play in), it probably is, if nothing else,
good for my bankroll to take that approach. Who knows? Maybe that
will cause me to enjoy it in the same manner I enjoy Foxwoods.
