  1. "Ewwwwwwwwww! That's the grossest thing I've ever heard!" - Happy Gilmore
  2. This is the best line from that write-up:"I raise to 6400 from c/o, BB shoves like 19k more. I stated I wasnt getting odds, but want the table to know I wont allow them to **** on my raises, so I call his all-in w/ 92cc. He has AJ and sucks out."Classic!

  4. "How'd you like to use MY 7 to fill the gap in your gutshot?"(Feel free to replace the '7' with whichever card is appropriate for your situation. Hopefully she's not on a wheel draw.)
  5. We went in, kicked out Saddam, everything went to hell. We have a moral and political obligation to stay as long as it takes to secure Iraq to a point where they can maintain security on their own. But we need to have a plan to ensure this happens sometime during our lifetime.That's it, and that's all.
  6. I freakin' love your avatar! Who do those beauties belong to?
  7. This argument always kind of annoys me when you consider that we (the USA and our allies in this war) killed more innocent Iraqi civilians with our initial bombing efforts than Saddam ever killed.I'm not saying Saddam wasn't a prick who needed to go, but I'm sure there are thousands of Iraqi families who certainly would like to have their children, or mother's, or father's back while living under Saddam's rule as opposed to being "free" with dead relatives. For them, the idea that "we did this so you could be free" probably doesn't mean that much.And don't get me wrong, this entire situation
  8. There used to be an antire section of the forum dedicated to "Poker Movies", although I didn't see it recently when I was scanning through the sections. It may be gone now. But for some reason the "Home Poker Games" section disappears and then comes back on different days for me. Strange.

  10. Is it just me, or does she seem like a deer in the headlights when she has to do those interviews with the busted out players? She seems so uncomfortable and awkward. Shanna and Courtney were much more polished to the point where it seems like Sabina didn't have any interviewing experience prior to this job.I'm sure she can adapt and get better, but I'm surprised they would have given her the job under these circumstances. I mean, she's cute, but she's not gorgeous where you would look over her inexperience as a hostess.Anyway, just tossing out that thought. Just wondering what the rest of
  11. Anything is possible man. You don't have to be the best to win.
  12. It's helping her by making people take notice of her. She obviously wants to be famous, rich, whatever, and this is the easy way for her to get that. In the long run, if she develops her poker skills and becomes the best in the world, she will have her results to back her up, and people will have to respect her poker abilities regardless of whether or not she made a stupid pin-up poster. The 2 have nothing to do with each other. It's not like she's a porn actress who is trying to get into mainstream acting. Nobody would take that seriously because they are along the same stream. But a po
  13. Would you have any idea who she was if she didn't do pictures like that? No. There's your answer as to why she does them.
  14. What? Is he fvcking Jennicide now instead of that slacker assbag Brandon Cantu?

The Lord of the Rings: Antonio "The Magician" Esfandiari stars as Blowdo, a Deep Dish lovin' playboy who swarms & conquers in an effort to Hot Wire with the Baby's.12 Angry Men: Men "The Master" Nguyen voices his outrage when the tournament director tries to squeeze 3 more players on to his already full table.
  16. Are you serious? If this is truly your belief, what the hell are you doing here on a poker forum?And how can you honestly comment on having too much "trust in people"? It's thinking like this that has our own government probing our collective asses every time we take $5 out of the ATM. OK, maybe that's a little overstated, but it hasn't gotten any better over the years, it's only gotten worse. The government thinks we need protection from ourselves because they don't have any trust in people. Well, I for one can control my actions, money involved or not. I don't need some blowhards in th
  17. Well, I haven't seen Looshle's stats, and I really don't care. But with a $25k buy-in, just about every top pro in the world playing in this, he must be damned good if he's got better than average chance to win.And I'm not having a hard time at all. I can see clearly that you highly regard Losshle's abilities. Maybe it's justified, if so more power to you. But again, you've missed my point. This was never about Looshle, YOU, etc. It was about the inequity in tourney payouts vs. the buy-in risk. That's all. A very easy concept to understand. Hell, just about everyone I know bitches abo
  18. I'm not commenting on the rest of your post because it would be pointless. But how many more times can I state EXACTLY what you just said above? Of course the only way the odds are 1:1 is if they paid only 1st place. I've made that point again and again and yet YOU still don't get my position.It's over Johnny, IT'S OVER!
  19. In a perfect situation, where luck plays no part, I agree with you. The best will come out ahead. But when you see amatuers winning 5 of the last WSOP main events, it proves that luck has a major part in it. Who on this site (or any other) has ever stated that Chris Moneymaker or Robert Varkyoni are great players? And they make up 40% of that field of the last 5. And look how many people ***** and complain about the main event crowning the "World Champion". Individual tournaments are not good indicators of who the greatest players are. They are open competitions where even the amatuers
  20. Holy ****! I give up! I would have thought that on a forum where generally good poker players hang out, that someone would understand the concept of odds, and would understand my point.Maybe it was too blatant. Maybe the concept of payout odds not equaling the buy-in risk is too complex for people. All I can think is that I struck a nerve with my sucker comment, which I already stated was a joke. I give up. I'm conceding this to you all as obviously it's not making sense for whatever reason.
  21. OK, just to set the record straight here...I was NOT trying to berate anyone here for taking a stake in Looshle at the WPT Championship. I was merely commenting on how the payout odds didn't justify the risk. This is true for ALL tournaments when everyone has an equal chance of winning. You can argue that Looshle has a better than average chance of winning, maybe he does. But tournaments NEVER pay out equitably, and never will. It's the way it goes.I will apologize if I offended anyone with my comment about Looshle being the only one who was not a sucker in the deal. It was intended as a
  22. Post #114. Yeah, I thought I woulda realised that too.Would anyone else like to make a comment that completely misses the point of my original post?
