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!

Also, I think "Hiiiiii-yaaaaaaah!" is actually "Aiiiiiyaaaaaaaaaa!" Gabe is quite good at these.

Or, if you're from Taiwan, it would be "Ai-YOH"

Unfortunately there aren't enough of us around.

I stand corrected, forever more.

First night at Commerce, old Korean man is mumbling to himself non stop. He is hyper aggressive, and will bet/raise any 2 cards if he smells weakness. Even the other Korean natives at the table were looking at him like he was a freak of nature. Every time he bets he would scream BET! at the top of his lungs and slam his chips on the table then continue mumbling. When he raises, he would say RAAAIISSAA! and do the same. When I say slam, I literally mean it... he would slam a whole stack then start taking chips away to make the bet correct. I did everything I could to keep myself from laughing out loud... until he said "ok, I gabool!". I lost it then, and the whole table cracked up with me.

Last Saturday night at the local room, some guy kept yelling "Whoop, there it is!" every time an A hit the board. Every ... single ... time.

The Iranian guy at my table was getting pissed at him. Between that and my cracking his KK with a trip 4s for the biggest pot of the night, he was cursing in Farsi all night long.

its an asian term meaning "damn it" but not in a serious way. But now this term has been adopted by white folks all over poker rooms in america.
