Well as a professional poker player I just don't feel that I have done my job if at least once a day I can't build up a nice pot for a fish It sure sucked to get check raised on the river and shown 52o but can't fault him for calling on the flop and turn as he had odds to try and bring down the master

The second hand I got some justice against another hapless fish that felt obliged to call two bets on the river with K high, not to mention his raising with said K high on the flop

Hey piers, do you play on UB as TheJohnGalt? If so, I have you in my database...

On the second hand, the poor SB (or is it SOB?) saw that AJx flop and just about messed himself. Shame you had to crush his groove. Makes that $50 you lost to the fish seem less important, eh?

Nice job!

I play on UB on occasions. My username there is BushSucks.

I knew he had AJ. Thought if I just call the turn bet that maybe MP2 would pop it up again and I could get them all for 3 or 4 bets and I wanted MP1 to keep coming as well. Unfortunately neither got out of line on the turn but couldn't ask for much more on the whole. It never ceases to amaze me how senseless some of these folks are and they just keep showing up week after week.

Best. User. Name. EVER.

He probably though you had AJ too and was shooting for a split...hee hee.

[thread hijack]Oh and by the way, what did you think of that Alicia Machado thing??[/thread hijack]

I didn't recognize the name but googled her and my wife gave me the skinny. She is pretty damn hot.

Her (ex)fiance is Philadelphia Phillies All Star outfielder Bobby Abreu. He saw the video and ended it. Apparently he didn't know before.

The article in the Philadelphia newspapers went like this: "He gave her the ring, she gave him the finger..."

He promptly went on a ridiculous hitting tear...
