Thread: TSP Poker Club

Sometimes you just feel lucky Tom. When I saw the 3rd 2 I was thinking I had it won until i saw your 7's....oh well...it was just a POOR risk on decision...but I was having fun. I really enjoyed the action in tonight's game.

Sorry...just can't avoid posting my commentary here, and complaining about Burro's choice of videos...

Burro ? YOU SUCK !!!

Sooo...picture this : I'm a high school kid...1972 or so...moved in a "mobile home" near Orlando, with my Brother and his Wife, because I got a summer job at the recently-opened Disney World... I was the "Ghost Boarder"...worked from 5 PM till closing, so I NEVER saw my Brother and Family !!! It was a GREAT summer !

I was a burger-cooker and all-around gofer at Pinocchio Village Haus...right next to the "It's a Small World" ride...so for 3 months, all I heard, all day and night, was that maddening song !!! Oh yes...we had some neat bands on the stage next door...and it was a blast, eating in the tunnels underground, and talking to Goofy and Minnie Mouse, while they were not wearing their "heads"...but DANG !!!

That song sends me into homicidal fits, to this day !!! Thanks a LOT, Burro...

Just sayin'...

yeah, i can relate, worst ride ever! disney land, los angeles, late 70's. riding in a fake boat in a fake river on a fake railroad track just under the surface through an endless tunnel full of stupid fake puppets. but that ain't the half, it was me and my brother and "lane", a mongloid downwinder from the testing a few decades earlier back home. lane was cool, a good guy, he tried his best at everything. and in the boat behind us? mrs. johnson and the doctor my mom worked for and my mom. i made the mistake of looking back and you know what? my mom was getting felt up by the good doctor and they was making out! mrs. johnson was sitting in front and didn't seem to mind.

we had to go on that damn thing three times! i got your small world right here. never could forget that song. we all got scars.

all that is needed is to download pokerstars.net software (250mb), create an account (username, email, password) and that is it. then you click the 'home games' icon on the right hand side of the menu and enter the club id and invite code. pm me here with an email address for club id and invite code and link to download.

the tentative plan is to offer weekly or monthly tournaments as a 'season' and track who wins most. also i think side games for single table tournaments or ring games might be available if there is demand.

also i should warn you, i am going to take all your chips.

so i am reminded of the original invite to this game, seems prescient...

there are some who don't play anymore, maybe they got the algorhythms perfected by now? i am a child of the matrix, and i will take any macheen down. bring it.

Time to do some tree top trimming from the Tall timber next week, the first two games are throw away games now it is time to play!!!! "This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes"

red pill. always take the red pill.

let me tell you a secret...

there are only two tricks to poker.

1) you got to move, you cannot sit around or the clock will eat you, balls out. when it is time you do not freeze, you MOVE!

2) you got to have faith. there is always something on the other end of the line. you can never lose hope, hope finds you. operator! need an out! this is why the ace on the river thing happens.

there is actually a third secret to poker, but you won't find it in any movie.

sometimes folks ask "how do you always get the good cards at the end when it needs to happen?"

the correct answer is "take the cards you get and make the end happen".

dance with the one who brung ya. simple game full of complexity.
