So wait, what did Pandit bring to the table to Citi?

- Sold POS Old Lane to C
- Put over $216M into his pocket personally
- Oversaw a price drop from $33.23 to $3.05

Note to companies: You're supposed to outsource IT to India, not Management.

@22 - I don't disagree, but he simply hasn't brought anything to the table as CEO. He has yet to do a single positive thing for C.

@36 - Brandy is the biggest example of wideclops in history. Well, except for you-know-who.

What they mean is that the Indians that run all of Citi will riot. It is a bad enough thing to outsource your IT to India, a far worse thing to outsource your executive management to India.

Poker got a lot harder with all the out of work quants and all the dead money being broke. I've moved onto more fertile pastures.

@11 Sadly, the Wynn changed policies, so I can't show up in a tux like the Duke of Fremont and buy into $1-$3NL for $100,000 to impress the ladies.

I just tell women that I am employed and not in finance. Goes over like balls marie.

We're +40% but we're still at 68.8% of the 52-week high. +40% is more of a sign of how absurdly low shit tanked and less of a sign of actual growth.

You want growth, show me DOW 12000.

@16 Yes.

$1-$3NL is now $500 max buyin, also they play with $5 chips because people couldn't multiply by $3 chips very well. (Seriously, I'm not making this up.)

$2-$5NL is now $1,500 max buyin.

No other max buyins at any other NL games, though.

@19 Remember that "playing perfectly" basically means "Always going for a Royal Flush" in most video poker worlds. This often means breaking up some better hands in order to go for those longshots. This is why it can still be profitable even if the game, if played perfectly, is +EV.
