    Nope, I just continue to get high scores on the google.

    More so than poker these days unfortunately. Man I really miss the forum games.

    You'd like them Chaimr if we get them going again soon. Check out the Canadian online poker subforum.

    Could be starting them up again soon, given the slowly deteriorating weather.

    Winter's coming.
  • I thought rule 42 was "Whatever weird shit you're in to has its own internet porn site"
    ...or something like that.

    Why are you junking up our beautiful OT with your poker blather?

    Because i like your Kool replies.
  • Read it along with Poker and The Art of War. Much as it pains me to say this, Kristy is correct about poker discussion not belonging in OT.

  • You can't be serious with that avatar. I understand your dislike towards him, and how he is immature etc etc, your pretty much on his level and acting like a bit of a child yourself.

    Do you think Kristy scares them with crude attempts of humor??
  • I consider it a public service. If they're that thin-skinned and uppity, they're gonna be lousy poker players.
    There's a craft forum that is entirely Kristy free after a drunken group skype assault lead us to try and register under the name, "The Krafterbator". Maybe you can knit some really pun-ny tea cozies*, and share your feelings there?

    *looks like a golf ball and has, "it's tee time" embroidered on it?
  • * a dinosaur, and if anyone asks you can tell them...
    It's a tea-rex
  • *a 5ml spoon
  • *A cow's udder
    TEAts
  • Two car cozies...one for the pot, one for the cup...
    Then you can crash into the cup and yell, "Tea-BONED!"
  • * "Isolated, with no before and after,
    But a lifetime burning in every moment

    No. Apparently Kristy is some "legendary" member of this forum that vanished years ago. The fact she has recently re-emerged is coincidence.

    I'm talking the general attitude of the ruling clique that tends to ridicule new posters, especially when posting strategy threads, or anything related to poker.

    That's a croc..
  • I prefer to ridicule the old posters... Let's start with comp
  • Kristy I can handle anything you throw at me.i think you may have had an unhappy childhood.Would you say the same things to me face to face or are you only good at forumbadchat?This is my last on this stupid subject you win the medal.

    There are "cool kids" here?

    Seriously though, this is easily the single most inclusive forum I have ever seen. If someone is being rough in a strat. thread there is usually only 1/3 solutions:

    1. The person played the hand badly.
    2. A bad player (of which this forum has many) thinks that talking loud=talking right
    3. OT is slow today and I'z trollin'

    Number 1. Is most often the case and while it is easier for a new poster to tell themself that they're being ganged up on, when the regulars agree with each other...they really should entertain the notion that--despite their epic free bar league success--they really might be awful.

    Number 2 will always be slammed down with the hand of God by the "ruling clique". See: "When to fold aces preflop" for verification.

    Number 3 ffs, come over and have some fun once in a while you sullen bastards!

    Oops, just saw this. I have a nearly decade long body of work that proves that I will say just about anything to anyone.

    If you bring poker to OT be prepared for me to troll until the thread fits the subforum. I actually have an insightful, well laid out response to your post, but I cannot, nay, I WILL NOT stand for this invasion of my pristine bastion of the ridiculous.
  • Before this gets too out of hand, maybe I'll just move this to general poker chat?
