No offense to Cadillac aficiondos, but now that we're into the 21st century, can we upgrade this poker saying? :)

Any ideas?

    hrmm It would have to be:

    1. Something everyone knows
    2. Something classy and expensive

    No-limit Holdem is the Ferrari of Poker

    sexy, fast, RED... hrmm :D

    A Ferrari isn't very classy per se... not like a Rolls Royce!

    No-limit Holdem is the Rolls Royce of Poker

    :mrgreen:

    how about urban friendly?

    Poker is the Fo'shnizzle of poker.

    I agree, Caddy's too american. It conjures up images of retirees dieing slowly in South Florida. I vote for the Rolls Royce.

    And this is *not* related to poker? :)
    2. Something classy and expensive

    Poker? Classy? These *are* related?
    Poker is the Fo'shnizzle of poker.

    No doubt, a truly profound statement. Now what about No-limit Holdem?

    Seriously though, those are a couple of good suggestions (perhaps 3 if I knew what a Fo'whateverizzle is...).

    Actually a Ferrari was the first thing that came to my mind, but I have a better one in mind now.

    No-limit Holdem is the Rally Modified Subaru Impreza WRX STi of Poker. 8)

    ScottyZ: LOL I was going to suggest that EXACT car. But it broke my rule #1 (something everyone knows) and part a of rule #2 (classy).

    Definately sexy, but I wouldn't define it as classy. :D

    Sweeeeeeeet. Great pic! 8)

    Actually, is that a Subaru in your forum avatar too? It sort of looks like it, but it's kind of small so it's hard to tell.

    When I win the WSOP Championship I have my Mercerdes M-Class all picked out. No-limit hold'em is the Mercedes-Benz of poker.
  • esoolesool
    When you say M-class to you mean M3/M5 :D or do you mean ML :( like the suv that really looks more like a mini-van? I hope it is not the latter.. :)

    M3/M5 is BMW I believe. The only M-Class Mercedes model is the SUV's.

    The only Mercedes for me:

    Okay, if No Limit's the (insert cool car) of poker, then what's limit Poker?

    The Yugo? what about stud or omaha?
  • Dave ScharfDave Scharf
    I vote for limit as the "Ford Taurus" of poker.

    The Yugo of poker would be "Baseball with pregnant threes wild, follow the queen, put up or shut up, stack 'em and roll'em, high-low."
  • ScottyZScottyZ
    "Baseball with pregnant threes wild, follow the queen, put up or shut up, stack 'em and roll'em, high-low."

    Is that with high spade or low spade in the hole taking half the pot?

    Forget being a Yugo. Any game with wild cards is a Big Wheel at best. :)

    Big Wheels last, on average, six years longer than Yugos according to Consumer Reports.
  • ScottyZScottyZ
    As long as you are careful about rotating the tires every 10,000 km

    It is the HARVESTER of poker. Big, powerful, noisy, exciting, and if you aren't watching your hands, it will put you in the hospital.
