It has been mentioned by me on these forums that I have more than a passive interest in various forms of poker especially Omaha 8 or better.
During the last part of February my local card, the Horseshoe of Council Bluffs, Iowa, hosted a WSOP Circuit event and I played in both the Omaha Hi/Lo and HORSE events resulting in one very small cash in the Omaha event. 16th of 148.

You might note that finishing one spot ahead of me was Amarillo Slim a member of the Poker Hall of fame and a minor celebrity outside of the poker world.

Ouch. That wasn't necessary. I don't know anything about poker but 16th of 148 seems like a job well done.
Two feet.
Actually Evan, yes. They already know. I thought I'd share with the MM community as well.

You guys have been around long enough to know not to take everything I say on the internet (hell in real life) so gosh darned serious and get your feelings hurt over it. Take a fucking joke.
Travis has been around long enough to know that if he starts a thread announcing how awesome he is for the sole purpose of stroking his ego then he is going to catch some shit for it.
Is this seriously what the new wave of "MM Lite" is going to be like? Moderating posts because they're not nice?
It's like castrating a race car to make a street model....
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.

I know Travis as well, I know he can take a joke. New members and outsiders don't though, and thats why the Lounge rules were put into place.
Andy / Chad - Why is it you whine and moan whenever a comment that is completely unnecessary and reflects badly on the clubs image is deleted. Get over it. If you want to read people bitching, moaning and cutting on each other for fun, I'm sure you can find plenty of Internet drama somewhere else.

I'm with Evan on this.
I told Adam the last person to worry about what Evan says is me and can we please keep my thread open?
My ego can't grow if the thread is locked.

b/c this is what the club is all about, many of us have been in it longer than you and many others and don't really like the way it's headed. It's OUR club so we should be able to say whatever we want. I have no idea what Evan said, but most likely it was entertaining.

Leave this Andy out of it.

I really don't like the precedent it sets, either. "Welcome to the club! Feel free to join, decide you don't like the environment, and piss and moan until you've bastardized the institution!" Seriously, fuck that noise.

And also, how many people just straight-up forfeited when they new you were going to be in it, because they knew they HAD NO CHANCE.
One day, far in the FUTURE, Travis is going to be on a train, (A hyperspeedmaglev train, bound for nowhere) and he's going to meet up with some young upstart:

$300+40. No, it was a WSOP Circuit event...a live tourny held in a real card room.
Quote:That means you can buy a cool housewarming gift for me right?!?!
No, not really. It was a minor cash resulting in a small net profit.
Quote:time to get into the bigger tourney's and win some serious cash!
I'm limited by my job right now as to where I can go and when I can play.
