Not sure why I read this, but it was somewhat entertaining. Good luck with playing drunk in the future.-Gavin

I lost whatever respect I had for Annie Duke when I saw her tearing up after knocking out Lederer at what i think was the TOC a couple years ago.

So when does the "Be Brian Fidler's Protege" promo tournament start?

TP/MM???

I was playing at a 1-2 nl live game in L.A., and called a raise with T9 from a raiser in front of me. 3 of us took the flop, and I felt like I had a pretty good read on them both. The flop came T76, and the raiser made a pot size bet of 20. I put him on overcards, and raised another 20 (realize now i should have made it 40 more). He called, and the turn came with a 9. He bet all in for 60 and I called, now putting him on an overpair. He showed me 88 for the straight, and I missed my redraws. This guy sucked a 3 outer on me, and sent me home.

anyone else having connection problems on fcp right now?

One arguement I have used to try and convince non-believers is that poker is just another form of entertainment. The main difference is that at the end of the day i might get my money back and then some. If they would be okay with you spending money on golf or movies or other entertainment, then poker shouldnt matter either. Also assure them that you will keep your losses in check.

My trifecta pick: Brotherderek, Sweetnorthernsaint, AP warior

I think the definition of a sport has 2 key components. First it has to have competition at the core, which poker does. Second it has to be athletic, which poker is not. So no matter what the government says poker is not a sport, IMO.

Junior high flag football. I was a fat kid playing on the line, and caught a sweet game winning pass for a touchdown. (in flag football linemen are elligible receivers)

Guys, be nice to me.

I cannot pick a winner, in my world Memphis is playing UConn tonight for the championship.

I cringe while i fold the aces. I would hate to do it, but as someone else mentioned, the only legitimate draw connected. Even some of the crazy runner runners that a donkey might have called with would have hit. If he is a bad player you can crack him in a better situation later.

TP/MM is a very diffucult move to make on free tournaments.
