Can there really be a poker player named Max Pescatori??! Seriously? I hadn't noticed God to have such a fine sense of humor before.

Pardon my stupidity, but I don't know why it would be odd for a poker player to be named Max Pescatori.

Kevin...

[toots]

Big fish?

[Tyler Durden]

He's from Milan and I believe Pescatori means fisherman in Italian.

[Kevmath]

Oh, I shoulda learned 4 years of Italian in high school instead of French.

Stupidly,

Kevin...

[Rushmore]

Plus the MAX element works, too. He's like the "ultimate fisherman."

[toots]

Ah.

Not knowing any italian, I just saw the "Pesca" and assumed it meant "Ultimate fish."

That does change things a bit.
