Katja Thater -- Who the hell is she and why is she so nonplussed?

LOL that's pretty funny, she sounds so nonchalant about the whole thing. But I do also find it a little bit sad - I mean, if you can't be excited about yr first bracelet what can you get excited about?!

when you play enough poker you just sorta subconsciously train yourself not to care about results and you also sort of just become immune to results in a way. in the same way she isn't devastated every time she busts out of a tourney she isn't going to be ecstatic after winning one (specifically like others have said some random gay razz event). also, germans don't have souls.

Hibachi, no offence, but it's a mistake to assume that other people on 2+2 don't know anything about poker. I've been playing for a living for around 5 years and I still get a buzz out of a big win, and feel like crap after a big loss. And although I don't play that many tournaments I'd be very happy about a bracelet, as would many other pros I know. Just take a look at photos of low-key pros like Allen Cunningham and Cyndy Violette after winning a bracelet - huge grins. These guys really love playing poker for a living and winning a bracelet is the highest accolade in our profession.

Oops, that all got a bit serious [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] so i will add that a bracelet in razz is, for sure, not as exciting to win as most other ones [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

PS And that she really look like she wants to spank you in that big pic lolol
