  1. I'm not even a tourney guy and this makes me pretty sad. Time to move to Canada.
  2. I "liked" it and I also actually like it. Oh, coincidence! I just figured out that my girlfriend's mother found my old iPod about a year and a half ago and just this weekend, she asked me who William Fillmore was. Apparently, she's been regularly listening to the 3 or 4 songs of yours I had on there for over a year.
  3. I make the "Buffalo Sucks" jokes all the time, but I actually like it here quite a bit. The Elmwood Village always rates highly in neighborhood rankings done by magazines and travel brochures, not just for NY, but the entire US. I didn't grow up here and I've also lived in the rich part of San Diego (La Jolla) so it's not just a case of loyalty or ignorance. The city's reputation is far, far worse than its actuality.
  4. I think you guys call it "faith," right?
  5. Coincidentally, I have that tattooed on my face.
  6. You don't already own one of those? Now I understand why you're not swimming in the ladies.What do you wear when you attend baseball games on sail boats?
  7. I'd imagine it just varies a lot from cardroom to cardroom. Most of my experience live is at Seneca Niagara which is filled with the most miserable clientele of all time. This week I'm visiting my parents and playing at Turning Stone and the older guys are definitely a bit more amicable there.
  8. Actually, I'd say that generally it's the opposite. Most of the kids who had any modicum of success on the internet have excellent etiquette, whereas like half of the old-school regulars are angle-shooting, miserable sons-of-bitches. It's just the random kids who ran up $100 to like $437 at blackjack and let it ride in a 2/5 game that cause problems. Other than that, I've never seen anybody under 30 do anything like what I see many old guys do on a regular basis (like throw chips across the table or threaten someone's life for beating them in a pot.) The problem is, if someone of my age and st
  9. This isn't the first time I've benefited from low expectations.
  10. I've been playing a lot of live poker lately. I'm not sure how interested you guys are in poker stories, but you didn't seem to believe me when I told you they were boring. Anyway, in most games, when it's folded to the blinds, people do what's called "chopping," which means both guys just throw their hands in and take their money back. I won't torture you with the particulars of why people do that, but there are some pretty well enforced unwritten rules that go along with it.Last night, I was playing with a young kid, probably about 5 foot 6, 140 pounds and incredibly mouthy/arrogant at the t
  11. I'm happy just to have made the list, but yeah, I'm poor now.
  12. I think my money is on the scooter.
  13. I think a Deuces Cracked subscription is the way to go. You'll learn much, much more quickly than you would from any book. I honestly can't recommend a single book in good conscience these days.
  14. It's good we've developed such trust on targets. You wouldn't have liked him anyway.
  15. I've been looking for an opportunity to become a hermit. Colorado, it is.
  16. Hey, not tactful phrasing. Next time go with "Just date DinkDonk."
  17. Just date me, LG. Pokerstars gave my money back, so I'm not poor anymore.
  18. Come on, I've seen pictures of those dogs.
