A thread to talk about poker

[Munson]

That's cool.

Now go tell your sister I'll be over later to tear up her ass some more.

[ice grillin you]

your quasimoto looking ass isnt tearing anything up

and stop posting your poker stories no believes or cares about them

[Munson]

I don't care what idiots like jewboy and you "believe". I'll keep enjoying myself in AC. At least until the table games get put in at Delaware Park.

i played a $4 satellite tournament on full tilt yesterday, just for shteins and giggles, and ended up winning an entry into a $400K tournament this weekend.  word.  and it was omaha hi, which i'm pretty sure i've never played in my life. 

[MDS]

what the hell is omaha hi.

[rjs246]

It's like Colombian Necktie, only friendlier.

[MDS]

[phattymatty]

what the hell is omaha hi.

its just like hold em except you get 4 cards and not 2.

as soon as I saw Phil Ivey lose a the final table last night I turned it off--wanted him to pull it out big time

I play poker and am reasonably good at it (or was before I stopped playing regularly). I've won a lot more money that I've lost over the years and have spent a lot of time around other card players and there is one thing I've learned... people who consider themselves 'poker players' are the farging scum of the earth. They are the most socially deficient group of people I've ever encountered. They all think that they know how to play the game and that everyone else is a donkey. They all think that their years of being social outcasts are justified by a tournament that they won once in someone's kitchen. They talk shtein and pout and sulk and sit in casinos for days on end, choking in stale cigarette stink and frustration. Sucking down redbull and trying to convince everyone that they know everything. 'Poker players' are awful to be around.

Poker games among friends are great. Poker games among strangers can be great simply because you have an opportunity to take these douchebags' money. And any sort of gambling/game of chance involving money is very high on my list of ways to pass the time. But it will be a cold day in hell before I actively 'root' for a professional poker player to do anything other than throw himself off of a bridge.

funny thing about it is I dont think I could stand 5 minutes around Ivey before wanting to roll. He might be one of the most miserable guys at the table and acts like he is above the rest (which he is)....and has the personality of a paper clip

I just wanted a guy that Ive been watching on tv for so many years to win the thing. Hell, I would of liked Hellmuth, Mike the mouth or Daniel Negreanu   to win just as much and I dont even like those guys one bit..well maybe I like Hellmuth a tad

[MDS]

Rusty is right. farg those losers

I got an email from a poker player once, way back when I had that poker blog job for two weeks. I praised him in an article for not being a douchebag and daring to enjoy himself while playing cards. He thanked me for the kind words, and agreed that most of the people who get on television playing poker should die.

[Munson]

Yeah from what I've heard Ivey is a real icehole in person. He was at the Venitian when I was in Vegas playin craps and a couple of the guys at the table I was at were talkin about how he hates being approached by people and is generally just a fleshpophead.

[ice grillin you]

wait not wanting to be approached by and small talked to by strangers makes you an icehole?

consider me ahole #1 then
