Is this a joke?

Note the name of the loser of the SD. This can't be a poster here, can it?

i don't see why it couldn't be someone from this site. homer mentioned he wanted to change his name to that name, but he couldn't change it for another couple months. maybe someone read that post and went and changed their name instantly.

or maybe it just existed before that.

in any case, who cares?

[Thythe]

It probably is. There's got to be a good share of terrible players here too.

[Michael Davis]

I don't know, but this person played their Doylee correctly and just got screwed in the end.

-Michael

[Thythe]

How did he get screwed in the end? The other guy flopped two pair...

[gonzo787]

That's what I mean. First of all, twoplus2com called my raise in the blinds with T2o, then proceded to reraise the flop and with bottom pair and then call the cap. And it doesn't get much better in turn and the river.

I didn't post this hand because I thought it was cute that somebody had that particular name, but because of the irony of of this player playing so terrible while having a name that is associated with good play.

I can understand how it could be a tell to someone's playing ability if they have a rounders reference in their name, a sports team reference or a kitten or a puppy as their avatar picture. But come on, a two plus two reference!?

[Losing all]

Are you saying good players can't love puppy's? I'm sickend
