    Annie Duke Final Table On Celebrity Apprentice

    Daniel, "made the whole thing up randomly" ? why would you assume this ?These two were joined at the hip all through this farce, even though on opposite teams.It was pretty easy to see that they had knowledge of the daughter coming back for the final which allowed them to strategise, something Annie never had the chance to do with Brandi.In the real world it would have been called insider trading and they could/would have been fired, just ask Martha Stewart.What gets me is that Trump and NBC actually think the viewers are stupid enough to not see through this, even when they have film backing it up.

    I cant vote but know who I would vote for if I could, but it's not important, I do love how everybody gets so bitchy when it comes to who is best, then no matter who gets in it all goes to hell anyway. That said try this, this link will take you to the KIRO radio web site, scroll down and take the super tuesday quiz, this is possibly the most accurate of all I have seen so far this election period (its a sad state but true)http://www.mynorthwest.com/?nid=2

    McDermott sponsors Internet gambling tax legislationBy The Associated PressWASHINGTON — Congressman Jim McDermott says a tax on Internet gambling could generate $8 billion to $42 billion in revenue in its first 10 years.The figures come from an analysis prepared by PricewaterhouseCoopers that McDermott provided to all members of Congress.The Seattle Democrat introduced the Internet Gambling Regulation and Tax Enforcement Act.McDermott says attempts to ban Internet gambling have been ineffective and his approach would protect consumers and subject the revenue to taxation.If I could vote, that is

    I got stuck at work today so did not even try to qualify. Last week I played it for the first time and made the money, although not by much, once you get past the second break it pretty much becomes an all in fest.A generous offer to stake 5 people but I gotta ask, "if you think you are good enough to cash why would you be willing to give up half that for just $10" ?Now if you are a complete donkey its a real good deal, except for the guy paying your entry.

    Just Saw My First Episode Of The Rob And Amber Show

    So with nothing better to do I decided to watch the show last night, and I will not be watching it again.I dont beleive in coincidence where TV is involved but you would have to if you believe what went on last night.So, Rob gets a poker lesson from DN, its about how to get max value when you flop the nuts, Dn was explaining how you are holding a pocket pair and you flop quads, check it down says DN, let them catch up then trap em on the turn or river. Seems pretty basic poker 101.Then that very night (maybe the next night) Rob goes to play some poker, and he gets pocket 2's, he flops quads (I aint buyin this for a second) the other card was a nothing, a 9 I think. The guy bets $90 and Rob just calls, turn is a 6 (board is rainbow) The guy comes out betting for $200, rob mentions (voice over) how the card improved his opponents hand (just like DN said it would), thinks for a bit and goes all in for what looked like several hundred more, Now the guy goes into the tank so its pretty certain he did not have pocket 6 or he woulda insta called, eventually he calls, not looking happy about it, and the call put him all in, Rob, again in the voice over mentions that the guy is drawing dead on the river (ruling out 66 or 99), Rob wins the hand, just as DN said it should be played !I have a couple of issues here, #1, the odds of flopping quads right after getting a lesson on how to handle it happening.#2, No way did the 6 help this guy out, unless he had something like A6 and thought two pair was good. Did he really believe anyone would call out a $70 bet on a draw ? even my 13 yr old would put you on an over pair or trips if you called, and when you went over the top to all in my 11 yr old would put you on trips or better.#3, With no straight or flush on the board the guy had to be looking at two pair or a boat, you can dismiss the boat as it took him so long to call. If the 6 really gave him two pair as Rob indicated, he would have to be brain dead to call the all in bet.#4, There was no talking in the game, the guy who busted never said a word, now the tv guys could have edited it out but the whole thing smelled just like the fake game DN uses in his video, not only that but Rob is such a bad player, the other guys had to act like complete rookies in order for him to win a dime
