Hey sheriff,

I cant even imagine sitting with the champ, but, as your going through these hands, as i know you will be, imagine they are a regular full game. You play them any differently?

Youve still played against at least one more chanmp than i have: Nice work......

peace

[UTGunner]

Hey, the Zoo is a Social Club. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Does it surprise anyone that someone who posts mostly in the serious poker forums would beat the KOTZ? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I remember when the toads beat the zoo in those early Toejam tournies (back when you all kept track of who was who).

Better luck next time, Zoo.

Congrats to Greg and Sheriff for a well played game. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

[Greg (FossilMan)]

Thanks to Sheriff and everone else for making this happen. It was fun, and obviously I got rather lucky to make the best hand pretty much every pot we played. I also found the RugDoctor comment interesting, and am glad it got noticed. I certainly didn't see it at the time (I only saw some of the comments scrolling past, and responded to a few when I had time).

If I'm available and you're not looking for the 2005 WSOP Champ instead, I'll be happy to play next year's KOTZ champion in a similar match.

Thanks, Greg Raymer (FossilMan)

[eMarkM]

Well, only if you repeat as champ. I only want the World Champion in a HU macth [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

A joke, I would hope and assume. You know who the rugdoctor is, I assume.
