I really have seriou...Wow, talk about ambivalence. I really have seriously mixed emotions here.<br /><br />On the one hand, what a relief to know that you are not a fan of that Boston basketball team that I alluded to. Phew. You have new found esteem in my eyes.<br /><br />OTOH, it is disappointing to hear that you are "hostile to anything NBA." Can't respect that. For me, that's as if I said to you, "The Beatles sucked."<br /><br />Oh well, I guess we'll have to return to poker. I love how you yourself declare it over, game, set and match, no extra innings required (oh shit, I just mixed tennis and baseball metaphors, didn't I?) I think the judge and jury maybe just a TAD bit prejudiced, don't you? Heh heh.<br /><br />Well, it will be, you'll pardon the expression, a SLAM DUNK to beat you on the poker argument.<br /><br />Your assertion that a hand that is played without any skilled cannot be sucked out on is just, well, what's the right word here....I know....WRONG. To give you just one citation, check the link here:<br /><br />http://www.poker-babes.com/poker/definitions/suck-out/<br /><br />Now, this comes from a site called "poker babes" so how could you possibly dispute it? All a suck out is when someone comes from behind to win a hand. It's usually when someone hits a draw to best a made hand. It doesn't matter whether the guy losing played it liked the world's biggest fish, or was Phil Freakin' Ivey, it's still a suckout. Another site I saw said if you get sucked out on a lot, it may indicate there are holes in your game. This may be the case here, but it's still a suckout.<br /><br />Now frankly, I think you learned a lesson, you got a great blog post out of your suckout, so you should just move on and get past it. Let it go man. I mean, take me as an example. I know that no hot babe (poker or otherwise) is gonna shake her ta-ta's in my face tonite and I've accepted that. You should accept losing a pot to some lucky bastard and losing the argument to me with grace and style, as I'm sure you usually do.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831516808434643835.post-14079024952712442152012-05-02T21:59:52.030-04:002012-05-02T21:59:52.030-04:00Bonus option #6 -the detailed story of you separat...Bonus option #6 -the detailed story of you separating from your previous employer.Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00226640652091292377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831516808434643835.post-89760973798790108362012-05-02T21:22:55.166-04:002012-05-02T21:22:55.166-04:00OK everybody - you heard the lady: vote and I shal...OK everybody - you heard the lady: vote and I shall write.craftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12092073053793715234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831516808434643835.post-86982702768198544622012-05-02T20:35:05.091-04:002012-05-02T20:35:05.091-04:00Option #1 - Post about Mark C (ex poker guy) and h...Option #1 - Post about Mark C (ex poker guy) and his fixation with enemas....and lesbians now that I think about it, but the focus should be enemas. Also Gary should touch upon just HOW MUCH I dislike him. :)<br /><br />Option #2 - Noodles (poker guy) and his Josie fixation.

Ken is one of Gary's BF but very cloak and dagger if you ask me.

First of all, your desire to tar me with the stain of being a Celtics fan won't work: though I'm a Sox fan and a Bruins fan, I'm apathetic toward the Pats and downright hostile to anything NBA. So: strike 1.<br /><br />Is a "little pocket pair" really not good enough to raise with? Sometimes. A man has choices. He can raise the blind, or he can fold. But calling the BB un-raised is weak and gutless. So: strike 2.<br /><br />Finally, a suck-out is when luck changes the course of a hand and negates any skill in the play. A hand that is played without skill, cannot be sucked out on. Strike 3. Game, set, match, championship.

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, ...We're fighting, huh? Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, my very first blogging feud! Awesome, just awesome. I'm am so down with that.<br /><br />But are we really gonna argue semantics? I mean, you say you misplayed the hand, I say you got sucked out on. Tomato, Tomahto, no? Seriously, if you had raised preflop, and the guy called anyway ("hey, I already had a couple of bucks in the pot," don't tell me you've never seen that before), would that have then qualified as suck out in your mind? Supposed you shoved pre-flop (which I'm sure would have been a bad play) and he made the worse play of calling? Is that a suck out? But thinking a little pocket pair isn't good enough to raise with, so you don't, that is strictly bad play on your part? To me, anyway you slice it, it's a suckout. You may have allowed it to happen (or so you think) but it's still a suckout. I'm actually DEFENDING you here, Beatles-boy.<br /><br />But if you wanna fight with me, we do have something we could probably get into a knock-down drag out over. No, no, it's not this so-called "breast obsession" of mine. I don't like breasts any more than the next guy (as long as the next guy is Hugh Hefner). I bet you've looked at a tit or two in your life, my friend. And knowing your ethnic background, I bet you like your women ZAFTIG yourself!<br /><br />No, I'm talking sports. I see you are from New England and I see you posting about the Boston Bruins recent flop, and I see your pal Josie is like the world's biggest Red Sox fan, so I have to assume you have some affection for the basketball team that plays in Boston, a team so repugnant that I won't even mention their name. They are the most vile creatures that walk the earth, and as a Lakers fan they are my mortal enemies. Surely we could get into it over that, no?<br /><br />I guess I could also rub your face in the fact that the L.A. Kings are doing remarkably, incredibly, well in the playoffs while your beloved Bruins lick their wounds. But seriously, I'm not much of a hockey guy, tho I would like to see the Kings take home the Cup.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831516808434643835.post-26030650889366821222012-05-02T13:40:44.295-04:002012-05-02T13:40:44.295-04:00Good point, grrouch, I guess that is a benefit.
