Roger tells me that you are one of the most charming gentlemen that anyone could ever hope to meet, but even so - don't you ever feel like doing that to your opponents at the poker table? I know that I do, on occasions!

In Germany the violence was completely acceptable. I guess that the supreme insult in that part of the world is splashing your chips

I bet it was banned because she smoked a cigar at the table.

I try quite hard to feel no emotion about any of the other players. Emotion isn`t usually helpful in a poker game.

Exception - the last live tournament I played in, there was an unusually attractive woman at my table during part of the tourney who also chatted in a witty and amusing manner. I felt occasional twinges of emotion in regard to her, but violence wasn`t part of it.

OMG, that is the Funniest Commercial ever.."Play Online Poker, It's much Safer"

#13 23rd August 2011, 7:07 PM

Bit of a no brainer if you ask me.

#14 23rd August 2011, 9:00 PM

As far as more important issues to address, yea, there are.
So lets just all take life so serious that we cant talk about lighter things..............EVER.....

And yea, I agree with grafkarow. It had to be the cigar.

But it will be banned in the states as well, cause they dont want anyone to know that online poker is to live poker what online sex is to live sex..........

ya cant get shot in an online game, and the only virus you get from online sex will only hurt your PC ( MACs are still pretty much immune)-..............
