      <description><![CDATA[Bout Frellin time is all I can say!

I was beginning to wonder if they were giving Phil a special dispensation from the (new) rule this year that said no excessive theatrics would be permitted, and even though that rule meant celebrations, I think it should apply here as well.

http://www.worldseriesofpoker.com/pdfs/wsop.tournament-rules.08.pdf

This one:


[quote]
36. Excessive celebration through extended theatrics, inappropriate behavior, or physical actions, gestures, or conduct may be subject to penalty. Any player that engages a member of the tournament staff during the celebration or utilizes any property of Harrah’s will be penalized in accordance with Rules No. 31 and/or 51. Harrah’s property includes but is not limited to chairs, tournament tables, and stanchions.  
[/qoute]

If that didn't apply, then this one sure should here:



[quote]
38. Player or staff abuse will not be tolerated. [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Riddle me this, fish or entertainment player, shows up at your table, and why is it that it seems, some self proclaimed 'expert' at the table Makes it his/her mission to scare the fish (or entertainment player) away?

I don't play online to make a profit, to be quite frank, many people normally rejoice when I show up there, because they know I'm only there to have a good time and enjoy myself.

I really don't take poker online very seriously, mostly because I don't trust it, but also, quite frankly, I get board when I play online.

I tend to play for the most part, freerolls, and the very low limits of the cash tables, and I'm really just there to pass the time.

To me 50 cent poker is nothing, and anything I might lose in there doesn't affect me financially, and I consider it pure entertainment.  If I'm having fun, pretty much, I'm donating to the table and I really don't care that I'm losing, because I let [url=http://www.tworags.com/index.php? [[ This is a content summary only.

      <description><![CDATA[I can't tell you how many times I've heard players whine when they get sucked out (including myself once upon a time), by lesser starting cards, saying "How could you of played those two cards, especially after I raised"?

My response these days is: "It was easy, I put my chips in, and said call", which in turn really ticks the other player off even more.

What many players who've been playing a while fail to realize, is this.

If you forget your past, you are doomed to repeat it, meaning to get inside the heads of a novice or intermediate player, you must first remember how YOU yourself played, when you first picked up this wonderful game of poker.

In addition, it's like they feel that I, and every other player, should play poker THEIR way, simply because they have read some book on the subject, or have been playing longer than the other person they are playing against.

Now, why should I, or anyone else do that? [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]]]></description>

      <title>Okay Gabby, time to pay up or shut up. (aka changing Colorado Gaming Law)</title>

      <description><![CDATA[Welcome to Gabby’s Quest to try to change the Laws of Colorado, to try to rid Colorado of No Fold ‘em Hold ‘em.

Well, today I put my money (or my foot, depends on your point of view (smile)), where my mouth is.  I may be tilting at windmills here, but I figure it’s worth a shot.

Recently on two plus two forums, I was telling the New Yorkers, who are getting their clubs raided, to stop whining and try to get the laws of their state changed to allow for them to play poker, legally.

So, started a conversation with my Evil Twin Sister, [url=http://www.tworags.com/index.php?ACTION=blogs&todo=view&ID=804]Donkella[/url], who was whispering in my ear, what a hypocrite I was, and you know what, for one time in her life, she was right.

I’m constantly complaining since I moved to Colorado from Ohio in March of 2006, how live action poker sucks here, and Tournament poker isn’t much better. [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]]]></description>

      <title>Introducing my Evil Twin Sibling...Donkella!</title>

      <description><![CDATA[You know that evil twin sibling, as we all have one, they were born on the day we first started playing poker.  

For guys, his name is Donkzilla, for women it’s Donkella.

They are the ones that when you know you should fold a hand, they take control over your body and then you hear the following coming out of your mouth:

I call, I raise, and the worst … I go all in! 

Oh gawd, you think when that happens, my evil twin sibling as escaped their cage, I’m doomed!

When you first start playing, your Evil twin sibling is the one who is in control, they hate it when you read a book, learn from a mentor and get better at Poker. 

This is because as you learn more about poker, the stronger you get in your game, and the more able you are keep your evil twin sibling in their cage(s).

Your evil twin then is constantly whispering in your ear in a tournament (or worse, a NL cash game), gee, you really want that Highball, and make it a double! [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Perhaps another title might be ... 

Was there a better way I could of handled this?

Okay, here goes ...

I was in Vegas back the end of June, first part of July, trying to win my way into the WSOP events, including I'd hoped the one on June 30th at noon (no, I didn't play after all, in part for reasons you'll see below (I didn't get my goal of making more money for the buy in)).

I decided to build my bankroll which isn't what I'd hoped it would be by playing in the Binions Classic event on June 29th, at 2pm, the buy in was $150 bucks, with no rebuys.

We had about 500 players, and I was doing pretty good, the table was nice, and actually quite chatty for a mostly male table (I was the only woman there), we are only 40 off from the money, and I am in the big blind.

Previous to this hand, the player to my right had been knocked out. [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]]]></description>
