This book did not help me become BIBY champion

Excerpt, from Amazon:

Player 1: Jc 10c
Player 2: Js 10s
Player 3: Ks Qc
Flop: 7s 8c 9s Turn: 10d River Jd

"In this example, Player 1 flopped the Straight, Player 2 made it a haigher Straight on the Turn, and Player 3 made it the Nut Straight on the River; and still, the possibility of Broadway is out there."

Haha. Love the creative mind that came up with Rock Banker for the author's name. And what a sweet poker table. Too bad they screwed up the title.

Hand of the year!

Victory is mine

I don't remember making any great plays. I remember making a very bad one by trying to check raise bluff Stogie. I know I caught good cards at the right time, especially when it got down to the last three.

How long have we been playing this silly game?

Like, when did we start?

Um....

Best effort to distract the other players I've ever seen. (better click the pic to see larger version)

I Hate Poker

It's time for my monthly I hate poker post. That's it. This game sucks balls.
