Anyone who has been humbled by the test on All Look Same knows this can be a little dangerous.

that test is hilarious. also humbling, although i did above-average.

i do find the "racial/ethnic" stereotypes of players amusing, tho. just watch them play for a round or two.

i do reserve the right to continue stereotyping young guys with oakley sunglasses and baseball hats who bluff it up on J8o. or people who gamble it up with a straddle bet and then fold. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

2) I should really be nicer to new posters.

You don't know how many posts I've written, pressed 'continue' then deleted before posting because I thought, "bisonbison will probably rip me a new one for this."

Here, the Vietnamese are the wildest.

I was playing 3/6 at the Desert Diamond the other night. A Vietnamese woman (named 'Shin') walked up the table and everybody groaned. Long story short she was seated to my right and . . .
. . . anytime she was in a hand and I wasn't she insisted on showing me her cards.*
. . . anytime I was in a hand and she wasn't she insisted on petting me for "luck."
. . . anytime I raised her she looked like she was trying to remember her recipe for human spleen soup.

*After too many of the petting incidents I tried to convey as much of her hand to the rest of the table as possible through my "anti-poker-face."

I'm sure she mucked all large pairs pre-flop because she loved nothing more than taking down a pot with horrible two pairs and three-gapped straights. I did, however, see her go on four and five hand rushes grabbing kill pots with the always powerful 49o and J2s.

flop comes Kd Td xc. i look down and see Ad Qd. sweet jesus, i've got four to a royal! i bet. it comes back around 3-bet. i cap. all call. most of the table sees the turn and theres a metric fuckton of chips in the middle. turn is the 3d. i briefly consider the check-raise but instead bet and hope to get raised. doesn't happen. river is the 17 of purple horseshoes and i bet and get callers. i table my hand and say "just the nuts". several union contractors were called in to deliver the pot to me. "SERVICE!"

These two phrases made me bruise my spleed with laughter. Thank you for bestowing this gift upon the world.

I also bruised my spleen.
