�I won�t say he�s dumb, but when he won a gold bracelet at the World Series of Poker, he was so proud of it, he had it bronzed.�
�VP Pappy

�Before you decide to wade in and play poker for real money, make sure you have studied the game enough so you don't get in over your head.�
--VP Pappy

"If you want to understand poker, understand people."
--VP Pappy

�If you are constantly in need of divine intervention, in the form of a miracle card, you are probably headed for poker hell.�
--VP Pappy

"It all looks so easy on paper. I can't believe I'm losing.�
--VP Pappy

"No-Limit Texas Hold'em is equivalent to playing Russian roulette� with only one bullet missing."

�There are three kinds of losers at the poker table: those who never raise, those who think about raising, but don't, and those who raise without thinking.�
--VP Pappy

"For want of a card, a hand is lost. For want of a hand, a bankroll is lost. For want of a bankroll, a poker player is lost."

WPT @ Foxwoods Day #4

BSQUAD — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 17:16:16 GMT

It's 11:45am and the remaining 27 players are beginning to trickle in. They are picking up their chips and finding their new seats. Lots of talk surrounding last nights WSOP final table and with it being Sunday the players are requesting a television to be able to view the NFL games... (You'd figure at this stage they wouldn't want any distractions.)

There is quite the mix of players. Some young, some old, some national pro's and some local pro's........ Kenna James has now officially sported his all Black garb and is looking quite dapper. It must be official NFL day here for the Foxwoods employees as the entire Foxwoods staff (Including dealers) are sporting their favorite NFL jersey.

My sincerest apology

Athleticchik — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 00:37:11 GMT

I would like to make a sincere apology to the forum... my actions the past week are absolutely unintentional, I have been dealing with a lot of personal issues... I have been trying to not let it effect me, and it's not easy especially if something triggers what I'm trying to deal with it. I just hope you all can forgive me and I want you to know I am trying to work on it so you guys don't think of me as a mean, argumentative person, I have my reasons for being this way.. and i will try very hard to make sure that you all see the big kind heart i really have and my real, friendly personality.

GL to everyone at the tables!

WPT Foxwoods World Poker Finals (68 remain after day #2)

BSQUAD — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:31:15 GMT

OK all, I'm back at the casino. Arrived at exactly 12:00pm. Action was just about getting under way. By the time I had set up my laptop and adjusted my camera settings again they were off and running.

There are 68 players remaining. CLICK HERE for updated chip counts.

As I was walking the floor I noted a comical exchange between Jason Mercier (Table 5) and Adam Levy (Table 6).... It seems Jason, Jokingly it appeared, was asking Adam to turn down his ipod music. He said it was distracting. Adam responded with an evil eye stare that lasted a good 20 seconds. Both players seemed to be involved in a stare down contest. Only problem was Adam had the advantage as he was staring straight ahead to table 5 where jason was sitting. Jason on the other hand had to look back away from his table. After a minute or so Adam concluded that he was the winner as jason had to turn back to the action at his table. Adam also then announced there was a bounty on Jason..... As that proclamation caused a few chucles, Adam held up a quarter and stated that although it was only quarter the bounty still stood.

Can't beat pocket Aces ... well then

CRAPSHOOT — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 07:58:12 GMT

If I can't beat pocket Aces ... can I beat 2 opponents with pocket Aces? - at the turn I can, let's see if PS can river undo that:

Hey peeps. Im from Tennessee

BrandonHanus — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 03:04:25 GMT

My name is Brandon. I'm from Cookeville Tennessee. I've played live cards since i was oh probally 15. I'm currently 22. I've been spotty on internet gaming. Hot and Cold and now I'm wanting to get into it pretty hardcore again. Grinding a job is boring :D Anyway, cant wait to see ya on the felt..errr...lcd screen. C ya guys/gals.

Im not good at this...

gonzo8291 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:20:38 GMT

Ive been around a couple days (I actually played a $5 sunday game a long time ago, and have been a member for quite a while) and I am really excited to be playing cards with everyone in this community. My name is Ron, and I am from just outside Chicago; currently attending Illinois State University in Bloomington IL.

I was an Aviation Electronics Technician in the US Navy for 4 years, and am currently a drilling reservist.

My poker career started really early. It must run in my genes; my dad is a great card player, and I like to think I am too. (Online not so much) My friends and I played dealers choice around my kitchen table at least 3 nights a week when I was 14-18. This payed my car insurance, and gave me plenty of money to take care of myself. I played a lot of cards in the Navy, and I actually dealt and Ran several Home games in Virginia. I continue to run a 1/2 NL game at my place now.

If you want to creep on me, heres a good start:
