LOL. Y chromosomal humor!

Ok, mine was "The Back Stabber" - which I didn't like, so I asked for another one, "Cut-throat". What the heck? I chose Comedy and Kebabs!

Yea well, the travel channel, that also airs poker tournaments (get confused which ones) was airing anthropological documentaries on primative warriors and the practice of cannibalism over the weekend. to my delight, i actually enjoy ethnographic films, uhm - but not as much as poker, or bass for that matter.

Great photo. I don't know if he would like being called adorable since he is a bad azz poker player, right? LOL

Buy theory of poker or SSH by sklansky. It as tons of good stuff in there.Yes, I already looked up the book on Amazon. I'm going to take your advice! Read, practice math, then play poker! ;)Seriously, you have great advice. Keep it coming.

I have to agree with EJ333. The audience is drawn by characters they 1) like 2) want to emmulate 3) feel entertained by4) can learn from5) are quite simply odd (i.e., fossilman)While I don't know the on-goings of the whole poker tournament scenes, I'd like to believe there isn't discrimination in media coverage. *putting on rose colored glasses*Isn't poker Equal Opportunity? There isn't an affirmative action program, as far as I know. You become the best because you simply are. Heck, look at William Hung! He's a horrible singer who has 2 albums out! Ok, ok, we like him - seems like a nice guy,

LOLA lot of truth is said in jest.

so Chris - do you always go by the math, or sometimes just gamble on pure luck waiting for the river? So many times I've folded too early because I was holding "low" cards - and had I stayed in... oh well. I need to learn how to hold them cards!And let's say you do play through the river, and you know you're going to lose - do you fold or play? just to see the cards the other dude (since dudettes aren't playas) has?

Agreed, girls are stupid. But women aren't. Maybe we haven't perfected the art of BS'ing since we're honest, dear creatures. LOL

Congrats Daniel on making it to the final poker table! You had the right attitude going in. I'm cheering for you!

Seriously.Look at the final tables of the major tournaments - Example:Final table in Tunica as of 01.28.05Michael Mizrachi, John Stolzmann, Chau Giang, Raja Kattamuri, Scotty Nguyen, and Daniel NegreanuWhy don't we see more women at the final tables?Anyone know statistics? i.e., ratio of men:women entering the tournement, and subsequent ratios of making it to the next table and ultimately the final table? - ballpark generality - unless someone has access to the actual database.I'm just curious. Poker is like cooking. The finest chefs are men. Why aren't there any female Iron Chefs? Is ther

Hmmm, so now i have to learn the mathematics? algebra? no calculus involved, i hope. i'm going to take your advice and learn the math. i have my first friendly tournament on Sun with friends. This one chic thinks she's queen poker player and i just want to show her who's the daddy.Here's a stupid question - how do i place an avatar on my posts (forum newbie, can you tell?) - note, i'm a mac user... is that a problem?p.s.would it be kosher to bring my calculator to the game? LOL

Why did the monkey fall off the tree?Because he was dead.Why did the second monkey fall of the tree?Peer pressure.Maybe all you dudes here can post your best pick up lines that you've actually used!

Yea, I know I'm addicted to poker when I use analogies with my fellow girl friends to describe how men are players in the dating scene - they either limp into the relationship, play aggressively, or they're all in (do I hear wedding bells?). And it's interesting to see how men play predate (or preflop). Dating is like playing a hand, as I explained to my girl friend Dean who is finally going on a date with our other friend, best friend of my brother, Rob. Anyways - the preflop has lasted 12 years! 12 years, that boy has had a crush on her slowly limping into the game. And we haven't even seen

The actual medical term for poker addiction is widely known as "carditis". Those affected are known as cardiacs.Signed,Your fellow cardiac
