Well that title most definitely got your attention. This blog entry will be about breastfeeding. Well, breastfeeding in public to be more accurate.
Now everyone seems to have an opinion on that and a strong opinion too. Some people think it is a mother's right to breastfeed wherever she wants. Some people think it should be a personal and private thing. My other half thinks it is disgraceful, he says the baby's head gets right in the way of the view!! I sit on the fence, I think it should be a mother's right, within reason.
On opening my newspaper the other day, I was met with the headlines about a mother denied the right to breastfeed in a swimming pool. She said she had to watch her other children. I nodded in agreement, why shouldn't she be allowed to sit by the pool and feed her baby? I started to read the article, ready to choke in indignation on my cornflakes. And that was when I realised the error of my ways. I actually believed the headline!!
On further reading, it turned out that the mother wanted to actually breastfeed IN the pool. The staff, quite rightly in my opinion, refused to allow it as there is no eating in the pool. Not only did the mother throw her toys out of the pram, she then was able to get recognition on how ‘badly' she was treated in the national newspapers.
This actually seems to be a growing trend. Maybe I have noticed it more as I get older (and grumpier) but headlines and the actual content contained inside are sometimes way apart and totally misleading. In poker, we need to look at the headline we are being told, whilst being aware of the actual story underneath. The storyline will include the stakes we are playing at and the image of the villain. Playing high stakes for instance, we can probably assume the headline we are being told (that the villain has AA for instance) is different to the storyline if we look deeper into VPIP/aggressiveness etc etc. However, playing a ABC player at 2/4c stakes we can assume that if he is headlining that he has pocket aces, then the storyline will fit that he does infact have aces in a majority of the time. Take into account all the info you possibly have and make you decision with as many facts at hand as you can and see your profits jump in the process. Pay attention to what you are being told through betting patterns.
I hate the whole "It's totally natural" argument... So is taking a crap, but I would expect complaints if I decided to do that in a swimming pool... or anywhere in public for that matter. There is a room we use to keep this totally natural thing private... It's just common courtesy.
As for the "I have the right to do it"... well, yes... but other people have the right not to have to see it.
its a baby feeding,should everyone be banned from eating in public? i dont get how people can be offended by this....its not an invite to watch,it is natural,if you need a dump then you can wait and can do it on your own,you cant tell a baby to hold on........
You bet the title caught my attention, but the most interesting part in your story, in my opinion, is the end. It have to be us doing something for our game. If not, then, who? You need to be observers of our own decisions and also from our opponent's decisions, and play acording to the knowledge we have from them. It's ridiculous to thikn about playing 4 to 8 tables at the same time when we aren't even used to win in a single table session. That can be good for fast games, but not for normal tourneys or even SnG's. Take care of your game, the others will try to do the same with theirs.
For me,...it's the ONLY way for baby to have lunch... It's about the baby only,...not what some insecure person wants...but Mom should be discreet...!
For The British,....well THIS sort of animal reminiscent behaviour unbecoming of humans along with spitting on the sidewalk,
farting,...urinating or having sex in public, or sex with other species,...cannibalism,...EVEN SQUATTING in public as opposed to sitting on a chair or bench...
was just TOO much to bear witness to for the British uppercrust...!
I think it just boils down to which behaviours that distinguish humans from the animals have in the past been acceptable to polite society...

***STAND BY FOR British Royalty 'Who farted' pic... WHO appears to be the guilty party.. ?....lol..
It is very important for the baby and that counts. However is so intimate thing and habits and habitus is to decide if a mother feed her child in a crowded place or no. It is so natural so it is nothing to be afraid of in connection with that. It cannot be compared like having sex outside of a house in that latest video where the student reveal the couple at night after he woke up because of them. It is a yes and no situation.
Here in the netherlands,.... They have a bar somewhere in the netherlands,... With a sign for breastfeeding youre baby Soooo a woman was sitting there with her titties open and wide... They taken a interview loooooooooooooool Crazy days huh
...while on the topic of bodily and socioogical functions... I took the opportunity to add a BONUS Zappa entry! ...from a TRUE event...! below below...

i totally support the free breastfeeding movement (?!)... or whatever it is, and i strongly believe they should be able to do it wherever they want, and whenever they feel like doing so.
Breast feeding. A relatively little known poker tactic, but when implemented correctly can reveal outstanding success rates.
The mother of a three month old was on the button, she had seen limpers from first and second position, a raise from third a call from fourth and a re raisle from fifth. She was holding 27o and really needed to start making an impression in the game. She took her time to think of her options, and then gestured to a woman at the rail, who promptly handed over the three month old. The button lady, promptly undid her blouse and flopped out a boob and baby quickly (almost automatically) latched on as the mother shouted, "All in!", (mild laughter ensued) and in the minds of the dealer and all the other players minds, pushed her remaining stack into the middle of the table. All of the other players stared in amazement and one by one folded their hands. When she realised she had beaten the table down, she smiled at baby and said,"Now isn't that lovely".
The player at position one popped some peanuts into his mouth; number two put out his big fat cigar,; player three had a slurp on his beer; player four called for the masseuse; player five called for a sandwich; and baby continued to drink his mothers milk.
Great headline and it as certainly attracted plenty of comments. I think you are correct in saying that we must try and decipher the information at hand when playing poker. Great blog
As long as she is dealt out if she "fetches" the baby during the dealing of the cards as per normal house rules.
I may make a tit of myself here, I try to keep a breast of the political humps and bumps of life giving situations and any side boob for the rest of us is fine in my book.
