  1. Dan Harrington is also a very good chess player.
  2. Whenever I saw Toto play on television, he seemed to me too reckless. But if you had him on your fantasy team, he would have scored:- 2 points for a 16th place in$1.5K Omaha 8 (699 entries)- 44 points for a 2nd place in $2K Limit Holdem (569 entries)- and 36 points for a 4th place in $1.5K Pot Limit Omaha (291 entries)And right now he's one of the 21 players still in contention in the $1.5K No Limit Holdem Event. You can't get this far in so many different games with bigger than ever fields and just be crazy. An awesome player.
  3. I recommend the book, The Professor, the Banker, and the Suicide King, which is about the Andy Beal games. It's got good stuff on participants like Todd Brunson, Ted Forrest, and Jennifer Harman, among many others.
  4. If I had a million dollars, I'd do 2 chicks at the same time. Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta.
  5. The rate of attrition in a tournament is a geometric progression (or "regression"?).Although it doesn't seem right, the winner of a 6,600 player tournament will, on average, knock out just one more player than the winner of a 3,300 player tournament would have.
  6. Wow, lotsa quotable lunacy. Here's an uninterrupted 4-paragraph segment.
  7. The Professor, The Banker, and The Suicide KingHere's a link to its listing on Amazon: click here
  8. Harabalos Voulgaris(Translation: "Horrible, Vulgar.")
  9. Tricktickler Slim.I likes.
  10. I just finished reading Aces and Kings: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/193...0117924-3831156On a scale of zero to 1.4, I give it a 1.35.
  11. KK vs. K2 offsuit, with the 2 being one the suits of the paired kings?
  12. The Honolulu Star-Bulletin is syndicating your column? I find this interesting because gambling is illegal in Hawaii. I know this because I'm from there.
  13. No one's mentioned: Ego. I've seen lots of people goaded into obviously unprofitable situations because of this.
  14. Might as well put a good word in for the 2 decks of plastic cards offered by Pokerstars. They're worth 1,000 FPPs ("Frequent Player Points").
  15. KEMs are top class, but don't try washing them. I write this because I loaned my brother my KEMs to take to his workplace. He was trying to start a regular game there with his coworkers. One of the cards came back with a very noticeable cut - WTF? - so I tried to get it replaced. I followed the instructions on a card that is included in the pack, but my mail was returned. Wherever they process orders for replacement cards is now gone. Over the web, I learned that the KEM Company was bought, and the place where they processed replacement requests was "moved," and they have yet to establ
  16. 424 to 1 against. I'd submit the methodology, but I'm too lazy right now. EDIT:Total combinations for the flop: 52*51*50/3*2=22,100For each value, there are 4 combinations of 3 cards, so 13 values times 4 combinations gives 52 combinations we're interested in. 22,100/52=425
  17. I'm gettin' ripped off! I sat with someone online whose name was "PlaysWithNuts."
  18. I hate slowrollers. They're almost always stupid and immature. I've witnessed recently more players slowrolling with worst hand and with tied hands where the pot is split. Other players, even those not involved in the hand, start gunning for them afterwards, and they usually bust shortly thereafter. And they deserve it. Being stupid is welcome at the poker table, but being stupid and rude is something else.
  19. Here are a couple posts on RGP from Brett Jungblut himself on the matter: http://groups-beta.google.com/group/rec.ga...f0f51f392da2121http://groups-beta.google.com/group/rec.ga...0699e83effa4b06I think "The Backer" on Dutch's site is about their friendship before this falling out. Brett's a good guy and a great player.
  20. Sporting some bling and wanting to show it off is understandable and not uncommon. But coming up with your own glossary of shagadelic buzzwords is something else. When All In Magazine asks you to write a poker article, and you end up turning in one about How to Nightclub, your head is so far up your ass, it may not be retrieveable. Antonio is probably a better person than he's being portrayed here, he's probably generous and fun company, but that $hit he wrote deserves derision. When you fart out this loud, don't get surprised when people comment on the smell.
