Sorry...didn't mean that. I meant the deluge of FCP HOF'ers all in here at once.Here's to some rungood to help you right the ship!

This thread is so awesome again all of a sudden.

Great article about played out interweb slang:http://jezebel.com/5551384/the-5-most-over...on-the-internet

Why thank you, sir, and same to you. The feedback we've been getting on this has made all the effort more than worthwhile. Will keep you all posted on our next project, fo sho. GL at the tables!

Here are a few things I took away from this project that I think are worth mentioning:1) I know it's easy to hear the responses to some of these questions and laugh, particularly when the answer appears to be a very confident or even borderline boastful one "in a vacuum." But in defense of those (and there were many across interviewees--several of which didn't make the doc), I will say that if I learned ONE thing about poker pros, it is that a LOT of self-confidence is an absolute must. It's what puts you in the right frame of mind to play the stakes you play. It's what helps you through the i

Thanks, all. FYI we're talking about editing a couple of "extras" vids. Hopefully some outtakes from golf and the hofbrauhaus, plus a really informative interview with an old FCP'er, ObeyTheDog--lots of good stuff in this. Stay tuned.

LOL! Would have loved to include the golf footage but there really weren't many spots to put in b-roll once we got the questions going. But yes, there were some priceless moments from the course. I personally loved someone's tee shot that was immediately followed by, "I think that just hit the Suncoast." Some really just horribly, horribly horrendous swings out there...

Thanks! Glad you liked it, and good to know the vimeo version is OK. I think it was just my screwy home internet connection yesterday (was playing online later that night and averaged about 42% connectivity for some reason).Again, thanks Bob.

Thanks and agreed. There were a lot of factors that limited the scope for us, but overall it was a helluva lot of fun and we learned a lot (both in poker and in how to make a film) so we're really happy with it. I figured at the worst we'd have a good, fun recap of the guys' WSOP experience, and I think we exceeded that baseline which we originally set for this.

GL TID, Canebrain!!!

So last summer when a bunch of dudes from FCP decided they were renting houses together for the '09 WSOP, my first thought was, "Sausage fest." But then I thought, "Hey, maybe I could go visit these clowns and shoot some video of them under the guise of a "documentary" so I can learn their systems! (Oh, and convince the wife I needed to be in Vegas every weekend in June...that was key.)What I ended up with was a bunch of new friendships, a much bigger appreciation for how good these guys are, and a chance to see Phil Hellmuth bust into DN's VIP suite at the RIO so he could take a shit (alas, t

Was I the only one who immediately thought "like-Matt Damon-as-highly-intelligent-janitor-at-Ivy-League-school" just without the "highly-intelligent" part?

This thread has brought me out of the FCP woodwork again. BG and CaneBrain and NoSup oh my!(BTW, JSpence is mostly wrong. OP is likely confused. I still <3 FCP.)

Yes, except I don't know if I've ever patrolled with only Ace-high--don't have the stones for that. But I definitely would and do with top pair any kicker or sometimes with medium pair and/or crappy hands on scary boards.

3rd Annual F C P - W S O P Forum Golf Outing & Poker Thread
Potsie P replied to nutzbuster's topic in General Poker Forum
Thanks, man! Absolutely. If I find out I can't make it (but it's already looking even better since I posted yesterday), I'll make sure to get the forms to you or NoSup before you guys head out.-Pots -
I'd have to go SUITED DONK or just DONKTASTIC based on choices. But if there was a custom option I might add CBET DONK or more probably and entertainingly, SHERIFF DONK (calling too many bets when I know I'm beat).

3rd Annual F C P - W S O P Forum Golf Outing & Poker Thread
Potsie P replied to nutzbuster's topic in General Poker Forum
DUUUUUUDE! Outside chance of me making it to LV on Sunday for the poker tourney--I'm putting it at 25% right now, but I hope/expect chances will improve in the coming days. Probably bump it up 5% if you promise not to put cubsfan44, aka Soul Pwner, on my left.Scott--I'm assuming there's some flexibility with #'s for poker tourney, correct? FYI I am definitely OUT for golf, either way. I should be still hauling @ss through Flagstaff when you're teeing off...WHEEEEEEEEE!(?)! Wait and SEEEEEEEEE... -
3rd Annual F C P - W S O P Forum Golf Outing & Poker Thread
Potsie P replied to nutzbuster's topic in General Poker Forum
Sorry just checked this thread and saw you guys asking about poker tourney structure. Here is what we came up with collaboratively last year, and I think it was pretty near perfect but, if anything, perhaps erring a bit on the longer side. I think we actually started around 9:30pm (thanks BRAND!) and finished around 1:30am...which may have been a teeny bit late for those playing in the WSOP the next morning, but otherwise it seemed goot. Also, the buy-in was $100+15, and that pretty much gave us the run of the place, which was awesome IMO.Blinds: 20 minutes eachStarting stack: $4000 in chips, -
Catch up on magazines (I get a s#itload for work). And no, not those kind. I find I play better, more clear-headed. Plus, even if I lose, I feel like I accomplished something.

If you think Casino AZ is the nuts now, wait til you see the new Casino Arizona when it reopens as part of the brand new Talking Stick Resort in the fall. I've seen the design renderings of hotel/spa/casino/etc. SUH-WEET.

I lot of reasons come to mind as to why I enjoy FCP--the hilarity that breaks up the workday, the support I get directly or feel indirectly for loving this game the way I do (especially when so many others look down on it and you--even when you call it a "hobby"), the honor amongst friends who in some cases haven't even met face-to-face, and the fact that not a single FCP'er whom I actually HAVE met has been anything less than a total class act and definitely, definitely worth knowing.These are all notable to me, particularly because I never expected to find any of these things when I first jo

F C P Golf Outing Cancelled ... Unless Someone Can Step In?
Potsie P replied to nutzbuster's topic in General Poker Forum
Sorry to hear this, Scott. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and yours. Please let me know if there's anything those of us here in PHX can do for you and your wife while you're going through this. Would be happy to help with meals, rides to airport, whatever. Don't hesitate to ask. -
Rdog is very good peeps. He even responds to Challenge Thread lurkers like me who occasionally post stupid questions.Anyway, congrats Rasheed.
