I am once again embarrassed to be young and play poker. These kids make a mockery out of the game. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Instead of cigars, some of them played with pretzel logs hanging out of their mouths.

Were we all that pathetic at that age? Because that sure isn't how I remember it.

What the heck are you guys laughing at?

[MicroBob]

That was pretty clever.

[Burno]

Ahem.

I say fair play to the little chaps. The way the article is presented makes them look quite pathetic, but that isnt their fault. I would have loved to have an enthusiasm for the game at that age, and chances are by the time any of these kids are 21+ we could have a few great players on our hands with a considerable amount of experience behind and ahead of them!!!

In saying that, the photo is a tad hilarious. Poor guy [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

the sunglasses and chip shuffling is funny, but pretzel logs are ridiculous.

Yeah, the only thing more pathetic would be if the kid had raymer-glasses [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

BTW, I was at the Bellagio a few days ago. Just like all good casinos, they have security at the elevators. I guess Raymers kidnappers were stealth Ninjas [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
