lucky F***


i spent 1 hour watching bobcards verbally castrate the guy that erick had just moved off 10k in 100-200HU.

now THAT beats a sf in a .50-1.00 anyday, but i still say you are a lucky f***

I am not much of a "watcher" but I do occasionally tune in for a few minutes of the really big games. I happened to catch bob's lashing of that guy (who was trying to convice bob to play 100-200 against him when he only had 600). It was hilarious.
Stuck guy: "are you going to play or not"
bob: "are you retarded"
.
.
.
"get up"
"no you get up"
"I was here first"
etc...

[Mike Haven]

[whiskeytown]

very painfully and slowly gained another seven dollars today - down ten at one point but then caught this full house aces - tried not raising AA pre-flop and luckily it worked:

[img]/forums/images/icons/blush.gif[/img] it was the sort of passive table where if i had checked we'd have gone to the turn for nil and if i'd bet on the turn they'd all have folded - i thought i would have to double-bluff to get a caller

after all, we are talking 50 American cents here

[GrannyMae]

so they were bigger wussies that YOU??

ouch!!
