Bodog Ari

I'm Ari Engel and am also known as BodogAri online. I've played poker for a living for virtually my entire post-college life. In the last few years I have started teaching people my style and philosophy on poker tournaments. Many of them have done very well.

Relativity

Look, the death of any person is a bad thing, particularly of soldiers, that have risked their lives to defend our freedoms. However, please people, lets put this in a little perspective. Lest I weaken a strong argument, I bring you Michael Barone: Link .

"The military struggle in Iraq (nearly 2,500 military deaths) is spoken of in as dire terms as Vietnam (58,219), Korea (54,246) or World War II (405,399). We bemoan the cruel injustice of $3 a gallon for gas in a country where three-quarters of people classified as poor have air conditioning and microwave ovens. We complain about a tide of immigration that is, per U.S. resident, running at one-third the rate of 99 years ago."

Yes it is easy to say this from the comfort of my basement. I want to commend all those that are right now putting themselves on the line for us. Also a holler at my brother, who is now doing his yearly army training as part of the army reserves program. He's the only person I know that left our upper-middle income sububran neighborhood of Chicago, to enlist in the army at 17. U are the man, Avner.

Ari,

Where in Chicago are you at? I live in Old Town and was wondering if you ever go to the boats or if you know of any home games?
