anyone wanna giv ema dollar for a tourny? lol i took out all of my 900 to pay the bills lol and i havent depostied nemore in ill pay u back the dolalr eventually...i could really use this 50 dollars too lol i need to buy my kids some christmas presents

Ok why I need to win this contest:

1. I need it so that I can stop playing the play chips table cus that's not good learning practice for Hold'em game players.

2. I need it so that I can join the TP league and therefore stay in this forum and be a welcomed part of it instead of just my kewl, funny, annoying self lol .

"If I win this contest I'm going to leave my 'winnings' in here and participate in the TP tourneys and/or league. So in reality you won't lose anything cus if I play like I've been playing, you'll end up winning it all back lmao" .

So TP whatcha think? :p

Ok, I think I have the answer to the contest!

5s4s vs. 7h2d
Board is 6s6h3s3d

72 is ahead, 54 is behind.

54 can win with: 2h, 2c, 7c, 7d, any spade (9), any 4 (3), any 5 (3) = 19. Any other card will result in a split pot. The 72 can not win, which I just think it wicked cool.

:D

Sorry, TP. I couldn't resist after reading the thread you mentioned. Please don't ban me like you did JJ. ;)

And, yes, very cool contest. Incredibly tough too.

huh?? :confused:

Read the thread TP posted in this comment, then you'll understand.

I actually went there today but ....Why would he just want us to copy paste an already answered question?

I was trying to be funny. I'm pretty sure that's not what the contest is.

hmm ok but you sounded so kewl and at the same time a little insane when you first posted what you posted lmao

Nope, not me who's cool. That one is all TP. I don't know where he came up with that Hold'em hand, but it's quite amazing that the hand that is leading by the turn, can't win on the river. I would really read that whole thread to get an understanding of it. Plus it was quite humorous too.

LIES! It's from Tommyboy!

:D

Rook - you're killing me here. This is like the gagillionth off topic thing (give or take) that you've posted in this thread (or other incorrect threads). I suppose this thread is kind of an exception, but typically, if you have a new topic you want to talk about, start a new thread.

Don't make me tie you up and force you to watch this 100 times:


Cause I'll do it.

Lol. And actually it's not sung by Hall and Oates. I can't remember the guys name that sings it but he looks like Al from Tool Time.

I got it.

:)

Way cool, isn't it? That's one of my favorite threads ever, despite the morons in there who kept copying other people's answers or at the most changing the suit of one card (usually putting duplicate cards in play).

Credit Barry Greenstein for where I came up with that.

It's Hall & Oates.

It's "She's a Maniac," but I prefer Farley's "I'm a maniac" version much, much more.

Here's the dude that sings it. Michael Sembello. This is the only pic I could find that showed what he looked like when he sang "Maniac" in 1983. I could have a hell of a time with this picture in paint.

Don't think so pal. Wtf, you have five years on me as well TP. ;)



POW! Lmao.

Was that the contest? To see who could name the singer of "Maniac" and find a picture to boot? Thought I'd get this thread back on topic, heh.

Oh, please. You think I can't google up some proof for you:


Wit that said, your guy is definitely in more of the results, including Flashdance specific ones. I believe he redid the song... but Hall & Oates wrote it.

Apparently, we are not the first forum to have this discussion:


:)

Insane, yes. Very. Believe me. If anyone would know, it is I.... :)

You just wanna tie Rook up...that's all :D

That's interesting. I guess we are all right. I'm righter though because it was the "Flashdance" version that was in question. LMAO. ;) :rolleyes:

Um...................

Duh. :rolleyes:

I dont think we will ever find a winner....because the winner is the one who doesnt piss TP off during the running of this contest...and as of yet no one is to do that :-)

Interesting theory. But, alas, it is also incorrect.

shew
 

good because that would take me out even before we started :)

I only have 7 dollars in my account, I need this money bad.
So let me win TP.

TP? Is anyone even close to winning this contest? Will you end the contest as soon as you find your winner and say it or is there a contest end date ?

I'd have to consult the rules. Lessee here......

I'm not allowed to say if anyone is close to winning yet. But I am allowed to say that I will announce the winner as soon as there is one, so that's good. And I'm not allowed to say if there is a contest end date.

What I get out of all of that is this: The contest could end any time, but it might not end until a specific date. BUT, until a winner is announced, it's still anyone's contest to win. Well, I guess that might not be true, by the letter of the law, but it definitely means there are at the very least multiple (however many that is) people still eligible to win.

And off the record, I still think it's ANYONE'S game.

P.S. And no BDMK, as per your PM, posting in this thread definitely does NOT disqualify people.

Looks like BDMK and me were on the same page then...

Guess I'm safe to post in here then. Great contest.

One more question plz.

Are there any posters in here already disqualified?

"Whether he likes it or not, a man's character is stripped bare at the poker table; if the other players read him better than he does, he has only himself to blame. Unless he is both able and prepared to see himself as others do, flaws and all, he will be a loser in cards, as in life." -- Anthony Holden (from "Big Deal")

I don't think I should answer that.

Instead, I will tell you that everyone who has posted above me on THIS PAGE of this thread is definitely NOT disqualified.

That's right - even Brian still has a shot at winning.

what about below you on this page?

Is it your birthday?????
maybe

well wishing you happy birthday anyways!!!!

that might be the contest.The first person to wish you happy birthday. :)

funny

How didyou like my quotes?

Well, as of right now, there are no posts below this one. So I dunno.

I like them. They don't really belong in this thread though, and would probably be better off in a new thread.

One of my favorite quotes of all time is the one about the lottery being a tax on people who aren't good at math.

What about people who have posted below THE QUOTED post on this page.

I'm quoting your post right now. And once again, there are no posts below this one. Sorry about that.

Oh hey - at a glance, it looks like the people on Page 5 are all good to go too. All but one person on that page are definitely still in this thing, and I have no comment on if the other one is good or not.

Surely that gives you the info you are looking for, right Hawt?

I hate you.

I know you think I've been waiting for someone to admit to hating me to win the contest, but I have to tell you......................... Saying that does NOT make you the winner. In fact, all you have accomplished with your slander (or is it libel?) is hurting the TP feelings. :(

As for your specific contest eligibility, Mr. Hawt.... after that comment of yours, all I can say is that your status is exactly the same as it was before you made said comment. In fact, YOUR status in this contest has been the same all day.

Best.
Contest.
EVER.

I have been up writing for so long and I am so tired I just have to give up guessing. So to quote Mayhems profile (I think)

"Let the chips fall where they may."

I quit. This is the gayest game in my opionon.

I think that's a great plan.

I can not speak for the sexuality of this game (the Rules say nothing about it), but your objection has been noted.

Free tip: If this "game" is so "gay," don't open this thread. Ever again. Go read a bunch of posts in the Looking For a Backer section and maybe some Bad Beat stories when you're done. I'm sure that will be much more entertaining.

So TP.... what page number / post number is the winner?

Edit: maybe its a time post... like I have to be post 150 at 1:50 :eek: I leeked the secret!
