Here's my shot at greatness. I thought it was decent until I saw the others.

Didn't DN say that "orange is the new black?"clearly some sucking up going on... wish I thought of it first.Nice work.

One thing that bugs me about poker is that anyone can suddenly declare themselves a "pro". Raymer and Moenymaker certainly weren't "pro's" before they won the main event.The definition of "pro" in golf, for instance, is when you decide to play for money, you lose "amatuer" status. In poker, everybody is always playing for money, thus, wouldn't we all be "pro's"?I know that you may respond by saying that poker pros play poker exclusively as a way to make a living, however, I would bet many that we refer to as pros have day jobs as well. The line is way too blurry for me. Also, being a poke

Why do I gamble every day?Because I'd hate to not be gambling on my lucky day.Unknow origin.

This is easily the funniest post I have read here at FCP.If you had said Clonie Gowan, I may have had to mop the floor with your orange a.s.s.

word.of course... I'm pretty ugly too.

Mikey's $9,225.00 will buy him a lot of blow tonight.I hope ESPN caught his last hand on tape. It just might top last year's pathetic display after he busted out of the main event.

I'm going with 43.18 (U.S.), 8.74 (Canadian) plus 7 game tokens for Chuck E. Cheese.I hope I got my guess in before the deadline.

Patience, IMO, is the most important, yet most difficult aspect of the game to master. Many people regard those of us who listen to I pods while we play as rude or anti social, but it helps me be patient by having something else to do while I get sh** cards.

Here's the silver lining in all this... All things considered, I prefer to play poker against poorly educated folks.Far more profitable.

Now you're banked for the WSOP! I'll look for you at the final table!Nice job!

I'm curious what everyone thinks would be the most boring televised heads-up match. Sorry if this has been asked before.For me, it's Harrington vs. Greenstein.

I done got edjacated in publick skools in Minnisoda.I thinc thay are the bestest in the kuntry.I presheate all my teechers did 4 me.

closeooooooo...Guy likes.I'd give her the juice.

quote a little bit of a song for us then you hippie13. Truckin I got my chips cashed in14. Deal. "Goes to show, you don't ever knowWatch each card you play and play it slowWait until that deal come roundDon't you let that deal go down, no, no..."

You would think a teacher would know how to spell a common name like Daniel.Sorry - just teasing :wink:I counted three spelling or grammatical errors on my first read through.1) Danial2) "speak you mind"3) "teachers who do there job"Sorry for being a dick... I get a kick out of teachers who can't spell. I'll cut you some slack if you teach phy ed. :wink:

How's this for a bad beat...Playing NL tourney at the Mirage. $300 buy-in.Early in tourney, I limp with K-9 under the gun. (Yeah, I know... I should've mucked).Several callers, so I get to see a cheap flop.Flop comes 9-9-9.Check to me. Of course I check as well to set the trap.Everyone checks.Turn comes a King of hearts. Now I have some protection against losing to higher quads.Check, check, etc. until the button goes all in!Everyone else folds, and of course I call, and it's heads up.River = Queen of hearts!I sit there stunned as they ship the pot to the guy on the button with a runner run

I don't think you can get a group rate on an airline, unless you are talking about a charter flight.Regardless... after all the gambling, booze, and lap dances, the price of your flight will seem like chump change.Have fun at the bachelor party. Wish I was going!SniperPS... watch the movie "Very Bad Things" before you go.

If liberals controlled poker, the buy-in's would be progressive based on ability to pay, a "luxury tax" would be applied to all winnings, and the winner would be villified because he/she had the most money.This coming from a former liberal who saw the light, and got tired of the whining.

Glad to see my comments have incensed some of the fairer sex. Always fun to poke and prod... find out where the raw nerves are. Just like putting someone on tilt at the table. It's a fun spectator sport.While we are on the subject of women in poker... who do you think will be the next woman selected for the Poker Hall of Fame. Oh, I'm sorry, make that who will be the "first" woman selected? I'd vote for that Clonie chick, simply because I bet she looks hot in a swimsuit.

Thanks for the Simpsons quote.Actually, my wife took the picture. It was in Cancun, so I thought the shirt was appropriate.After that, I went back to the hotel and boned her. Then she did some laundry.

Women have no place at a poker table unless they are serving me my drink, or perhaps giving me a backrub. Same goes for golf courses.Just stay the heck home and get your man's laundry clean. And don't be callin' us on the cell phone when we're in the middle of a hand.

I think Phil Gordon vs. Phil Hellmuth would be a classic matchup.Big men, big personalities, big egos. They are both fun to watch for different reasons.Gordon for the intellect, humor and class.Hellmuth for the whiney blowups and no class. He's the John MacEnroe of cards.I have no idea how they feel about each other, but I'd bet it's not cordial.

LOL. Welcome to the forum, buddy. Finally someone has arrived to take some of the comedic weight off of my shoulders! If you chime in on strategy, that will just be a bonus to the forum.Thanks for the welcoming words J! It seemed this site could use some more levity, and I'm glad to do my share.I'm really glad I discovered this site. It's really interesting reading all the varied opinions on this great game. As for the strategy forums, the discourse gets a little hostile for my tastes.I like to comment on the lighter aspects of the game, like hookers and booze. I'll let the know-it-alls

Anything with alcohol works for me.I like to combine as many vices as possible into one evening.If only we could get hookers in the card rooms.If my wife reads this... I'm just kidding, honey.If she doesn't read this... I'm not kidding.
