[Piz0wn0reD!!!!!!]

by the way, BOTW gets mad props for this, as he made the first few (and some of the best imo). So he gets 4 entrances.

[Willluck]

4 and 17 are my favs.

[tbach24]

19 and 20 are the best. But 19 takes it.

[sam h]

Very nice work.

A few of these should be on the next 2+2 t-shirt,

[MoreWineII]

[Piz0wn0reD!!!!!!]

5 is geting way too little credit. the drawings alone are goot.

[Willluck]

I think it's cuz so many people don't like Kurosh.
I don't mind him, but I still voted for that one, because it was the better comic.

[MarkL444]

what happened to the microbob one?

[tbach24]

I'm going to explain all those I understand for the other people and if you can explain those I don't know to me that would be good.

1. ?
2. Big pot, don't fold
3. Piz's emotions follow his results and then he plays WoW
4. Cloutier wins at poker, then loses it all in roulette (I always thought it was craps)
5. NolanFan is an uber-rock
6. Kurosh thought he was really good so he decided to overplay his bankroll and went bust
7. ?
8. Some guy took a piece of Daryn and won money off it, then lost it himself (who is it?)
9. ?
10. Evan is short and can't see over the table (this took me awhile cuz I'm dumb)
11. ? (I still crack up at the picture)
12. TSC dilerberating where to play
13. AngryCola gets mad at fish, drinks hard, and then plays like fish
14. ?
15. Fossilman likes the stop and go
16. Piz lived lavishly at one point, then ran bad and had to move home
17. Phil Ivey is vvvvvvvvvvv good
18. KKF doesn't pay his debt
19. Self-explanatory (and my favorite)
20. Self-explanatory
21. ?
22. See #16
23. TheTimeIsUp banned Spicy, then was temp-banned himself
24. GoT ran good and was able to buy stuff

[SuitedSixes]

10 is the best.

[Piz0wn0reD!!!!!!]

for the record, i didnt "have" to move back home. but my lease was up and i had a rather short roll due to warcraft /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[spamuell]

Seeding this instead of just having an outright vote is ridiculous.

[/ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]

because:

1. there's no need to flood oot with a bunch of threads about different seeds, final 8, final 4 etc.

2. a lot of these are extremely witty but once you're used to the joke, they're not very funny anymore so even if they were initially very humourous, they're not going to win.

3. the voting is skewed because the current voting system is arduous for the voter and they might particularly vote for their favourite ones and not vote at all in the other categories, or vote at random.

4. seeding should be used for important things, not something like this, especially when there wasn't even any need to find a "winner" in the first place, some are funny, some aren't, whatever.

5. turning what could have been one quick poll into a long process of comparison takes all the fun out of this.

6. all of these are a matter of taste anyway so who even cares what the majority of people think, it's all about what the right people think.

[Piz0wn0reD!!!!!!]

well

good points

but man, relax a little eh?

[spamuell]

lol i'm just saying i think a more relaxed way of doing this would have been just one vote. but whatever, as long as my kurosh comic is doing well, i'm happy.

[ClaytonN]

Not that mine was all that good to begin with, but putting it against TheTimeIsUp's demise surely means my comic is going down.

[ClaytonN]

And 19 is still my favorite

[kurosh]

[ QUOTE ]
6. Kurosh thought he was really good so he decided to overplay his bankroll and went bust


[/ QUOTE ]

If you consider "bust," up $50,000, then yes, I'm bust. I lost 10k in ONE of a few HU matches with neverwin and bitched after he hit runnings tens with T4s to outdraw my aces and ever since then, everyone has been making stuff up about it.

This was directed at Mr. Something Clever so he'd set a date for the WSOP (which he did).

Sorry, I didn't know, that's just what it seemed from the comic.

Thanks!

There's a fair amount of truth in it. /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I like number 3.

[Piz0wn0reD!!!!!!]

11 and 12 are tied atm!!!

[ThaSaltCracka]

clearly 12 is better, because it actually happened.

[Willluck]

[BOTW]

First, I'm flattered. I always wanted to give something back to this forum, but since I usually visit ~once per few weeks, trying to give back has never worked well (since answers usually come quickly--good job people).

Second, I thought it would be me vs. SpearsBritney at the end.

Third, since that won't happen--when I win, I'll send the $10 ($20 total) to the charity of 2nd places choice.

Fourth, in the unlikely event I don't win, I'll match the winners charity of their choice with Piz0wn0reD!!!!!!'s $10. Plus, if the winner chooses to, I'll challenge them to a freeze out $10 vs. $10 and if I lose, $40 extra to the chairty of their choice, if I win, it is $50 to the charity of my choice (charity must be fairly easy to take care of, e.g. PayPal, Neteller, Stars, etc.).

You're close, but notice the loser of the second pot is still the fish. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[ QUOTE ]

17. Phil Ivey is vvvvvvvvvvv good


[/ QUOTE ]

Reference to the Full Tilt Poker commercials, and I thought that MSPaint of him was hilarious.

As my friend pointed out, which I find the funniest among others, "I'm sure he'd be flattered that his skin is the same color as the [censored] wallpaper".

uh ... 14 happened too. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Reef]

hmm.. ya, the initial funnyness kinda wears out after awhile. One huge vote probably would've worked better. oh well.

[astroglide]

i like cloutier the best by far

[AngryCola]

[/ QUOTE ]

I would like it better if, as someone else already pointed out, the person who made it correctly used a craps table or dice. I don't recall any tales of him losing much money playing roulette.

[Piz0wn0reD!!!!!!]

im pretty sure he plays both.

[Willluck]

Bump...

[RacersEdge]

What the hell is going on in 7? It might be good, but I don;t get it.

1) I bit the head off a cobra

2) got in a car accident and caught an assault charge

3) played tons of poker while on house arrest, had to wear ankle bracelet.
