Hahahahaha that's awesome

#10 17th April 2009, 11:03 PM

Learned something new. Didn't know what an "angle shooter" is but I know what it is now. Definitely gets annoying (not that I haven't done it by accident, but it's kinda crappy when someone is doing it on purpose). Glad they dealt with it properly.

#11 17th April 2009, 11:04 PM

Goooooooooooooooo Zachvac!!!

#12 17th April 2009, 11:05 PM

Angle Shooter

Noun
A player who intentionally uses tactics that border between being within or outside of the rules.
EXAMPLE: "When there is an angle shooter in the game I'm in it definitely kills the entertainment. Who wants to be arguing about rules details when we could be playing another hand?"
APPLIES TO: Online and Land-based Venues

Zach's become a bit of a celebrity. Pops up in one of the Stars blogs:

http://www.pokerstarsblog.com/lapt/2...in-038591.html

'Though his shrewd satellite play translated into an entry into the LAPT Grand Final, we're a bit divided on the merits of his choice in headwear. Attention-getting? Absolutely. A fashion statement? Not so much.'

Lol

Wow, I didn't think anyone knew he was going to do it and that it was a surprise. Where/when did you hear about it? I saw the first published report this morning. lol

I talked to him last night on AIM -- we go/went to the same college.
Me and him actually both went to Turning Stone, and I wore a panda hat and he wore the umbrella hat :P

so we were talking last night joking around and he said he was gonna do it

#33 18th April 2009, 12:18 AM

Good luck Zach and the umbrella could be a great piece of self promotion, of course if he wins he can get use to umbrella groupies and such, I can picture it now the umberalla gets more famous than the man everywhere he goes people sing Rianna at him.

Handy if it rains though.

ya never know when it will rain indoors. i would imagine a sudden downpour would make it pretty difficult to play cards
