GTFO means get the fck out. Our GTFO is at 1:30 a.m. Everyone (besides me) has to be at work the next morning. (I work at night but not Tuesday nights) So when its getting close to 1:30 a.m. sometimes we'll just call out 5 or 6 more hands, and that way the chip leader cant just tank. Its sorta like hand for hand at the bubble.He ended up winning when he went all in with A/Q. I had 10/8 suited. I would have called even if he turned up aces since I needed to double up to beat him.

God I know there is going to be lots of bashing and mocking, so just know that I know. But please if you mock, you can give a joking answer to ridicule us, but please give a serious one too. Thanks. I think I'm being pretty fair here.It's a 16-man home game and its a league. The points go up as you finish higher. So its down to heads up between my brother and myself. There is a Get the *** Out rule so we decide to play six more hands so the chip leader cant just pause for 10 minutes. So at this point, the blinds wont go up.The chip leader has a significant lead over the shorter stack, but the

This sucks...but hopefully she'll come out of it with flying colors.

I agree with most of what you guys are saying except the announcers. I love Norm and Lon. Its weird that they hired Norm in the first place, but now he's a staple and there would be many poker enthusiasts who would hate to see him go.I think I have an interesting idea. Play the final table on two days. The first day gets down to four players. The next day, they play till the end. This way, you could have two two-hour shows. You'd see a ton of more hands and you'd still air the show the very next day.Yay or nay??

Avery last year got me back into watching hockey. I watched a random Rangers game against the Capitals and realized this is how hockey is supposed to be played. He doesn't always play like he played that game, but I'd take him as a teammate anyday. My only fault with him last year is anytime someone wanted to fight him, he'd skate away and let his teammates do his dirty work. Sort like Domi used to do when he was a Ranger. He'd rather antagonize then fight.

what part? What sucked the most was it was the year they won The Cup. I felt as if the Chicago Oilers were playing at MSG.

OK, that was a good comeback, though to be fair I didn't use it in a gay way. I was just trying to give you a man-on-man hug. I felt you needed one.

I'm not bashing Negreanu. I'm strongly dissagreeing with him. How interesting a site would it be if we all said, "Yes Daniel, you are right again! I don't know how you do it!!"But yeah,I should have gotten my facts straight. It was late I checked Wikapedia and maybe I just missed the Que part of the site. I should have known better anyways. I used to be the biggest hockey fan. But once the Rangers traded all my favorite players away, I stopped caring and lost my passion for the game.

I bet that answer is yes. I'm pretty sure Tiger doesn't always have his A-game or his A-Concentration.

Just like sports, a lot of times people lose their hunger when they've won before. I think Daniel probably doesn't have the same intensity for some tournies as he does in others. I would imagine the WPT Championship, WSOP Main Event and HORSE and the NBC Heads Up, Daniel will sleep and eat right the night before all events. Because he has a strong desire to win them all. But he has enough money where the 10K probably doesn't mean that much to him, so he has too much fun to be successful sometimes. It's his choice. He's earned it. (Much like Sundin!!) Sorry for the cheap shot at the end

Cheer up man. Stop being so rude and mean. Smile and ask someone for a hug!! You'll feel better.

OK, I understand (now) that he hasn't been a Leaf for life. But I mean maybe he feels he can help the team win. Maybe he doesn't want to collude as I'm sure making an underhanded deal to rejoin the Leafs would count as colluding. But what about the argument that he earned his no-trade clause? Why give up something that he worked hard for and earned?And again...if he loves the Leafs so much, he shouldn't leave. One last thing. He's the Captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs. That is a pretty big honor and he probably takes that pretty seriously. Captains dont leave their men.

****in Wikepedia. It was late, and I forgot. Hockey used to mean a lot more to me. I still stand behind what I said.

Daniel, I'm really shocked at your stance on the Sundin thing. And I hope you listen to reason. As a former Rangers fan, I stopped being a fan the night Glen Traitor Sather traded Leetch. Leetch was a lifelong Ranger and even though the Rangers were going nowhere fast, he wanted to finish his career with the only pro jersey he ever wore. Was that really being selfish of him to dispise Sather because he traded him??? No. He loved the Rangers and didn't would rather die with his team, than play against them. He even said in his retirment speech, that the only time he sat on the visitors b

I'm sorta with you on this. I think any HOF is meaningless and goofy in a way. Your peers aren't voting you in, some sportswriters are that may have seen you play four times a year. But its still fun to talk about.But which poker players are in that you dont think meet the criteria?And do you think if they made improvements it wouldn't be meaningless?

Under those criterias I definitely do not think he belongs in it. He hasn't stood the test of time. I think he would need at least another 10 years of poker excellence. But thats my problem with those criterias. I dont think those are definitive enough. They're too liberal and you can get in if you're likable.That's why for a tournament section of the HOF, I think there should have to be standards met, like they have in golf. Under my version, someone like Stu Unger who came and left quickly could get in because he was dominant if only for a 10 year period (I have no idea how long he was

We all know how much Daniel loves #'s and stats. I have no idea how the current Poker HOF works but this is how I would like to see it work.Have a cash and a tournament section. For tournament induction, you have to win at least 5 majors. A WSOP, WPT, or any other major tourny that I dont know of. You need to be on the poker scene for at least 10 years. Since tournament wins and losses can be tracked (and should be from now on) you need to be up over a million dollars (from tournies...money earned minus buy-ins) at time of induction. And though I'm not big onto the moral stuff for any HO

Thats funny. But was it the picture size or do you think she has a large forehead? The poster reduced the size of that pic from last night to today I think.

I dont think he was a jerk. Just wrong.

I think Raymer was a jerk outside the poker table. But I like the subtle hints besides the coughts. BTW, I never knew that skater was that hot till now.

I just checked Bluff for the first time in months, and you dont have to search hard for the problems. Just look at this. What's with all the dashes. Does Howard Lederer spell his first name How-ard? I mean this is on your website! I'm truly hoping that this is just some sort of computer mishap (the writer probably wrote it on AOL and used email or something) but even if thats the reason, its no excuse. It should be fixed immediately. Matt, I'm not bashing you here. But I looked at your site and would never dream of buying the mag based on these mistakes. I truly wish you lots of luck.

I dont watch as much tv on poker as most of you, but that guy at this years WSOP pissed me off. I think he was mugging for the camera more than Brenes. If you're reading this Daniel, were you pissed at the guy? I was glad you didn't pay him off. Has there been other tv jerks to you?

Daniel, I think you got the wrong impression on both hands. Yes the first guy was loud, but he immediately apologized. It seemed it was the thrill of his life knocking you out. I see where you found it annoying at the time, but I think the guy genuinely felt bad (Bonomo) as opposed to just saying it without meaning (JJ Prodigy).As for the slow roll. I am iffy on this one. It's sorta like when Mike Sexton had those Kings. He said let me tell you how great you are or something and then he flipped over the winner. This guy said, "Nice. Nice Read." Then he flipped it over. You would know

I was playing online against a guy from the UK. I had A/A. Flop came 10/7/4. He checked, I bet he called. I put him on A/10. Next card was a 10. He checked, I checked, thinking I was beat. I was ready to muck (dont worry, not a brag post, you'll see). Next card is another 10. At this point, I think I'm ahead. He bet a good amount, and I was wondering but figured I'd put him all in. It wasn't much more. He thinks types, "Hmmmmmmmmm. Good bet." Waits till the last second and calls. Shows A/10. I say nice slowroll *******. He says, "I was afraid of my kicker." I fought back fro

I'm glad I was wrong. I thought from your post (Nimue) something had happened to Daniel's Mom. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom. As you know from losing your Dad, time makes it better. Though for me its weird. My Dad passed in 98 and over the last year and a half, I've dreamed of him being alive (along with my Dog who died in 91) a lot. I never had those dreams till I moved to Vegas. Weird.
