Re: If you say hello to me at the tables....
So does this mean that 'brown trout' has expired?
I'm fairly certain that I don't really care. We have enough newcomers around here who don't even know about the brown-trout thing anyway? I think we should change it to "The Brown Thumb is smoking P.O.T. in the closet."

Anybody with half a brain will google it and presto! We have a new member. For those not smart enough to do that it at least freaks them out and makes them think your colluding or something. So yes I strongly believe it should be retired. I do not repsond to it.

If they had more than half a brain I assume they would google "poker strategy" and then we'd have an influx of idiots...... Lori

Re: If you say hello to me at the tables....
right. that's how I found this forum.
I googled 'poker strategy articles' or something like that when I was first starting out and eventually landed here. After a little while I saw some sort of recommendation for HEFAP by some guy named David sklansky... "oh...who's this Sklansky guy....so are you saying that the guys running this forum have some books on poker too??" Guess I found out in the reverse order from others (who learned of the forums from buying one of the books).

I found this website by googling brown trout sleeps in th closet when a 2+2er figured I was a 2+2er by the way I played. I have also seen others have no idea what it meant only to write in the chat 15 minutes later "2+2?" In my opinion saying "does the brown trout sleep in the closet?" is worse than saying "are you on 2+2?" because it's so weird it either freaks people out or gets them curious. It's an obvious code that easily cracked and makes 2+2 seem secretive. "sup bro?" is much better.

I don't see that either is particuarly bad. It's not like people who want to learn are not going to find this place, and most people who don't want to learn will read three posts about how to play, decide we're all idiots because we don't play many pots, and go back to the tables. Lori

Re: If you say hello to me at the tables....
I'm all for friendly conversation and cracking jokes as I play but I'm not a big fan of tables coaching or helping other players find helpful resources while sitting at the table. If they're motivated to find this place they will but I won't give them a map while I'm trying to take their money. I'm kinda selfish I guess.
