Have you always made comments like these, or only after you saw that douche-bag win the main event?

Hmmm...I flopped the nuts on a draw-heavy board against the most obvious overpair ever, let's wait until after the scare card hits to raise!

Hmmm, H'wood is one of the sites I'm still on. How'd you find out they're pulling the plug? Seems funny that a site called "Hollywood" won't serve US customers.

This has been discussed in legislation. I'm surprised you're still on.

[Bilgefisher]

The email I got from them said 30 days till they officially stop US customers. Boz, if you check out one of the stickies in the legislation forum, it'll tell you which poker sites are sticking around and which ones are pulling the plug.

Leg forum is too depressing to read. Yeah, I'm still around, trying to get some NL under my belt. Helifun. For some reason, I never get any of the emails that other people get from their poker sites. I wonder if my account is spam-blocking them (this hadn't occurred to me until just now)?

I think the first six words of the paragraph hold your answer. My in-hand talk is generally, um, banter-y. Layne Flack would be my role model, table-talk-wise.

My favorite exchange last night was with an older asian lady who had been coldcalling/flopping hot for a while, but was cooling off. It was a fun table. I raise AJs in late middle, folds to her, she calls in the BB.

Before the flop, she jokes, "I check and raise." Flop comes (misses me completely, K high), dealer confirms that she checks, so I say, "well, if you're gonna raise I have to bet,right?" and bet. She instamucks. I grin and say, "hey, no fair," and ask the dealer if I can hold her to her verbal declaration. We all giggle like schoolgirls.
