So, I wake up this morning,

PShabi · #1 01-30-05, 09:37 AM

and as soon as I open my eyes, I have this weird feeling.

A sort of serenity and ease swoop over me. A voice whispers in my ear, "victory is eminent my friend."

I'm thinking, "what the fuck?" All of a sudden I realize, today's the day I win the talkingpoker.com invitational tournament on Stars.

Who's playing for second?

**Disclaimer **

This becomes null and void if Aequitas decides to register for the tournament. He's just so pretty in that avatar, I don't think I can compete with that.

Should be a good tournament

Some of the players though are hearing voices

Should be very interesting

Talking Poker · #3 01-30-05, 11:15 AM

You crack me up pshabi... Can't wait for the tourney tonight!

I only have one concern... For the copy of SS2 I'm giving away to the person who knocks me out - well, when I don't GET knocked out, what am I going to do with it? I mean, do I really need two copies of this book?

I guess I'll just save it for the next tourney. And then the next. And then the next. I mean, EVENTUALLY someone will take me down, right? There is that whole luck factor in poker.

BrianSwa · #4 01-30-05, 11:17 AM

you guys are funny as hell, I wont be playing but I'll be watching. Want to wish everyone good luck though, If by some chance you do get knocked out you know your not gonna be able to live it down until next tornament.

PShabi · #5 01-30-05, 11:19 AM

Come one Brian, you have to play. This is gonna be fun.

And TP,

To be fair, and to give back a little to "the forum," here's what I'll do.

When I take you out, send me the book. I'll autograph it and send it back.
You can use it as a prize for the next tourney.

If you spam it up on RGP enough, it should guarantee a couple hundred people in the next one easy.

Talking Poker · #6 01-30-05, 11:19 AM

I'm sure I will get knocked out. It's poker. It happens. I might even get busted first. Just having fun with the smack talk.

You should play, Brian. Especialy if AEQ mans up and plays.

BrianSwa · #7 01-30-05, 11:22 AM

I have 2 other tornaments today one at 2pm and one at 8pm that I had promised I would play. Plus no money online right now (big suprise) -insert joke here-. I will let you all knock me out of the next one 1st I promise.

Talking Poker · #8 01-30-05, 11:44 AM

I'm confident you could make it happen if you wanted to. But it's cool.

jdiana86 · #9 01-30-05, 11:45 AM

Cmon Brain, if I can play, anyone can.

BrianSwa · #10 01-30-05, 01:53 PM

If I put any more money online this month I would be looking for a new wife

weighing the options I have think it would less expensive to keep her then take the chance of a divorce. Do regret that I can't play with you fine poker players though, hope to get in the next one though. How often do you think you will have them?

Aequitas58 · #11 01-30-05, 02:46 PM

With all this shit talk, I really hope - for your own reputation - that you at least place. In that respect, please know that I'm rooting against you.

:-D

PShabi · #12 01-30-05, 03:07 PM

I know Sunday is the night you and the lady watch Extreme Makeover Home Edition, but you can break the date this time. She'll understand.

You'll get a good cry either way.

Aequitas58 · #13 01-30-05, 03:16 PM

This isn't a limit tournament, son - where you might possibly have a chance. Have fun busting out.

ChipFish · #14 01-30-05, 03:20 PM

Just wondering.... But isn't "smack-talk" limited to players who have the balls to ante up?

PShabi · #15 01-30-05, 03:38 PM

That's what I was thinking.

He won't ante though. He's had an excuse from the announcement. First it was "bonus clearing." Now it's the old lady.

Aequitas58 · #16 01-30-05, 03:48 PM

Whoa whoa whoa... she's my old lady once we get married. For now, she's still my sexy girlfriend. Status changes with the progression of our relationship.

And don't take all this shit so personally. I'm just messing around. From what you've posted - hand histories, winnings, etc - you seem to be an astute player.

Finally, to clear things up: I want to play. Don't count me out until registration is closed.

PShabi · #17 01-30-05, 04:07 PM

Once she's got your balls firmly planted in her hand, she's you "old lady."

I knew you'd pull the Hellmuth! Show up and register last second so everyone has to notice you!

I'm enjoying the shit talk quite a bit. I'll probably have the whole table gunning 4 me!!!!!!!!!

I just hope my connection is cool. I've had problems with Stars since I started there. Rarely play there now.

Get in the tourney for crying out loud, it's gonna be a blast.
