There might be a prize for the one that gets all of these right...or maybe not. Who knows?

1) What gang of poker players does Dutch Boyd belong to? I've heard it a dozen times, but I can't remember sh**.

2) Who is the only player ever to win a bracelet for all three kinds of Omaha: Hi-Lo, High and Pot Limit at the World Series of Poker? Great question. Scotty Nguyen, Erik Seidel, "Jesus" and Amarillo Slim all have multiple wins...but I believe T.J. Cloutier is the only player to win all three brands of Omaha.

3) The odds of improving YOUR hand when holind a pocket pair in Hold em are: The odds of improving any PP that I hold is approximately 80:1 and decreases with every dime I put in the pot!

4) Who is known as "The Elder Statesman of Poker"? Mr. Johnny Hale, who is considered by many to be the nicest man in poker. I believe he was even instrumental in helping Benny Binion begin the wsop.

Okay, I know I missed the first one...but I feel good about the next three. :)

1.) The Crew (they even have a reality show planned for the group.. heard about it on some poker news site.)

2.) Yep, T.J. Cloutier.

3.) This one's kinda tricky...

1 in 7 you'll make three of a kind. (your chances of flopping a set are 8 to 1; your chances of having a set or better by the river are roughly 4 to 1)

1 in ~100 you'll make a full house. (Chances of flopping a full house are like 136 to 1; chances of having a fullhouse by the river if you flop a set is 4 to 1... or 6 to 1 by the turn if you flopped a set.)

1 in ~400 you'll make four of a kind.

4.) Johnny Hale

That's my best shot.

What do I win?

The crew disbanded last year ...due to some "personal" reasons. Everybody wanted to go their own way or something...I think Fishman and Boyd might have got into a fight. They mentioned it last year during the telecast.

So, maybe Fishman is available to join my "crew"? We, like, hang out a lot...play some poker...sometimes party with friends. Oh, yeah, and we merge our bankrolls to support each other! Yeah, Scott's bankroll would be a nice addition. And we could help him with his game. Anyone have Scott's number? :rolleyes:

Actually, from Dutch Boyd's website, the crew is back together and "production funds have been put together and a reality tv show based on "the crew" is now in the works."

This was posted the 2nd of this month.

here my shot

the first answer is...the Crew(isn't boyd suppose to be the best player on that team but is the only one withouit a bracelet) o yeh he has a new web site out as well.www.rakefree.com.(still in the making)but if yee know dutch and what happened to his first web site id'e probably leave that poker site off my list..o yeh should should see the tricks he can do with the chips...and mad funny..i hate to love the guy,or love to hate him i'm not sure..lol

2. tj cloutier

3. 4.2/1 (with a pocket pair) by the riv.(8.3/1 flopped) so i gues the answer is 1 of 7.2

136.1/1 flopping fullhouse(by riv is tricky,cuz there are differnt draws for a full house)
a full house of better from a set (10 outs) 3.6/1
a full house from 2 pair on final card(4 outs) 11/1 so my answer 1 of 101

quads (flopping quads) 407/1 the answer is 1 of 402.5 hands

4. johnny hale
