Hiii-yaaaaaaaaaaaaah
I'm sure this has been asked before but it's hard to spell this so the search function will recognize it.
What's up with this noise that I hear in pokerrooms all over the country? Mostly followed by "Gambooooooool!" The second part I get...the nasal karate chop sound...No Savvy. I heard this more at LC in oakland than anywhere out here. This one crazy drunk cat at the Trop is the master of it: Snake, I believe is the name. Older semi-asian character who loves to cap pf in 2/4 w/ NADA. When he sucks out he leaps up screaming that "hAIiiiiiiiyaaaaaaaaah" and bangs the table...various other degenerates scream back at him from other 2/4 games around the room and the broke ones scurry over to get loans or handouts. It's eerie, actually....like a bunch of paratroopers going "gerrrrronimoooo!" simultaneously. What's up with--that? |

I hate the hi-yahhh myself and can offer no explanation. Gamb00000l on the other hand is great.

Re: Hiii-yaaaaaaaaaaaaah
LC is in Colma, no?
Also, I think "Hiiiiii-yaaaaaaah!" is actually "Aiiiiiyaaaaaaaaaa!" Gabe is quite good at these. |

Re: Hiii-yaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Whoops, I meant the oaks club in oakland. I've never been to LC.
I'll concur with the spelling... But what does it mean?! |

Re: Hiii-yaaaaaaaaaaaaah
"Hiiiiii-yaaaaaaah!" = karate chop
"Aiiiiiyaaaaaaaaaa!" = chinese equivalent of "oh dear!" when something bad happens. |

Re: Hiii-yaaaaaaaaaaaaah
It sounds the best when you say it like you're being punched in the stomach. Think a short, deep tone.

Re: Hiii-yaaaaaaaaaaaaah
YO, I would actually like that sound. In my experience (mostly from Snake) it sounds like a rubberband propeller airplane taking off or the little girl in "Soul Blade" doing her Magic Power Attack.
YIKES! |
