After some folks started aping the Raymer glasses after the 2004 WSOP.. are we going to see this trend followed as well.

((noted in Rec.gambling.poker, this is a 100K+ tournament I believe))


Shemale pornstar Brenda Starz just won the the US Poker Partys
Tournament Friday 02/25/05. When asked by reporters what the key to
her success was she replied "I have a definate advantage over men and
women players because I can relate to both."

If cutting my balls off can improve my performance at the Party Poker $10/$1 tables, it is worth it.

While sitting in the waiting room of an eye surgery Clinic with my parents. My father mentions that my mother is just about ready to take my money at the poker tables. She has apparently become addicted to all of the Hold'em TV on ESPN, Fox Sports, and the Travel Channel. She's not just watching the Hollywood homegame and Celebrity Poker shows, but the WPT, the World Series stuff, and all the Fox Tournaments. She loves Howard Lederer and Annie Duke. She regaled me with the tale of seeing Annie Duke spank Phil Helmuth, and how happy that made her.

So yes I can honestly say that when my 75 year old , never gambled unless it was a slot machine, mother has started to make in-roads on my hobby, the Poker Boom has gone too far.

It seems like games are showing up on EVERY channel.

Don't worry, poker is this year's swing dancing. The hipsters will tire of it in another year...

the poker boom sucks.

I hope it busts harder than the dot-com bubble.

What's with all the poker hate? I for one, hope that it just keeps growing until every fish is in the bowl....

I agree with you. I'm guess those haters aren't among those financially benefitting from the boom. I hope it never ends.

If you ever want to get utterly uttery weirded out.. do a search for that name on Google Web. *blinks*

I now want to scrub my brain with lye.
