Ha ha ha. Before I realized that you were quoting the above post I thought you were saying that *your* avatar was the best of all-time. (It is clearly one of the worst, sorry.)

I agree with John Hennigan. Ellix is not just good, but he's great for the game. He's an entertaining character, and an inspiration to other maniacs. Don't you think many new players see his success and say, hell, I can do that, I need to put my (dead) money down on a WSOP event!

Besides helping bring money into the game, what's wrong with livening up the table? I like Jim McManus too, but he's got to leave "bad jim" at home when he makes a TV table.

I hope Ellix keeps his life and health on an even keel and has a long and successful career.

completely off topic, but i actually think the way mcmanus plays (weak/straightforward) and conducts himself (anal) at the poker table is 100% "good jim".

You must know more about him, but from the Limit WSOP footage he sure didn't look weak to me. Plus, he became very laggy against Ellix. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Jan Sjovic (sp?) was the only one who looked very weak.

MORE racist stories...

Paul Darden plays at Foxwoods.
Paul Darden is black.
Many people know Paul Darden plays at Foxwoods.
These people know he's black.
Some percentage of these people will see a black poker player and ask if it's Paul Darden, as long as the person is 20-50 black male.
One such idiot, at a table with me just a month ago, kept insisting to the guy (21, black) that he looked EXACTLY like Paul Darden.
I guess because he was black.

Just crazy.

at the 2002 wsop, as described in his book, he played very weak/straightforward. but you're right, he was more laggy at the 2004 wsop.

They call Phil Ivey the tiger woods of poker. You know why? Because he's black.

Same reason that I always get called 'Scott Skiles', 'Mark Price' and the like by the black guys I play basketball with.
