seriously though,this guy needs to stop calling all ins with A6 if he wants to go pro.

who are you to tell a pro how to play

and Slacker gets my nomination for creativity:

Couldn't help myself, so I made a movie. Actually more of a trailer for the movie...

"Micro-pro: The beginning of the days of ends."

MGM took a look. Josem shopped the script. Look for it in theaters this summer.

[/ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]I've been thinking the same thing myself. Slacker is the clear winner for overall most consistent comedic value. I gotta tell you though, El Hombre is getting up there. And, then Zaster's post. Amazing. Potentially the best one yet. Other awards?

<lame mod rant>

All,

I want say one thing - You are all welcome to send money if you want to, but I want to make it clear that wickss hasn't (to my knowledge) solicited this money, nor will he be allowed to ask for money publicly at any point (I'm not insinuating that he would, just saying).

So... if you want to send him money, that's fine. Just don't send money if it in any way is going to make you mad in the future if this whole thing somehow doesn't work out (he busto's, it's revealed he's a millionaire, etc).

I just don't want to have to have to deal with trying to clean up a vig-style trainwreck at any point in the future, so I thought I'd make this PSA now that money is changing hands.

cliff notes: If you send him money, regardless of how this whole thing turns out, it's your problem and therefore no one is responsible for helping you get it back.

Holla.

<end lame mod rant>


Ok, everyone get back to cheering, etc. now.

[/ QUOTE ]Wiggs, good post. Good to get all that info. out there. I assure you, at no point in any of this, will anybody ever be asking for any money. This is not some elaborate scheme drawn up with ulterior motives. It started with an innocent post on monday, and has exploded into an internet phenomenon. [censored] happens.

[K䲰䮥n]

heh phenomenon

[sanmarcosrun1]

I do agree with you pudge people on 2+2 seem to get involved in far too many financial transactions with people they dont know.
I would recommend to Wickss and Mj to avoid recieving money from people otherwise you turn this great thread/event into nothing but a joke. You might want to release a statement MJ on Wickss behalf about not wanting money sent to avoid any issues with the public's persona of your client.

[wiggs73]

mj,

Yeah I'm not assuming it's a scheme or anything, and I'm really rooting for wickss to make a lot of money, get good at poker, etc. I'm just getting all that out there now that money is changing hands. Just making it clear that STTF, the mods, etc. are not responsible for anything that happens.

[Sparta45]

Do the "stategy" posts in STTF even matter any more?? Really, they should all just be deleted. This is the most important thread around.

[blowbubbles]

Wicks has just started his first set of nine 6,50's - go root for him!

I take back everything then..

if his ROI stays fairly consistant then income should double at these new stakes should uphold nightly pizza costs nicely.

I am glad to know one of you has sense enough to keep a consistantly paying job. I'm not at all against this effort I just think its somewhat ridiculous.

[/ QUOTE ]Kevin, you keep saying how ridiculous all of this is. In life, there are actually at least a couple things more ridiculous.

A) Not having a dream
B) Having a dream and not acting on it

Wickss is a true visionary.

[/ QUOTE ]

Lots of people have quit their [censored] jobs to play poker. I don't think I'd call him a visionary for that.

[/ QUOTE ]

The beauty of all this, is that Wickss is willing to do this -- and -- is able to do it for so little. I would love to go back to a point in my life where I could do something this crazy. But I'm too old and have too many responsibilities. So instead I'm stuck in this crappy, dead end office job.

Thank You Wickss and MJnumb23 for this great thread.

HAHA
Someone beat bones to the best one liner award

[McShove]

a few things,

all,
best sttf thread ever.

pudge,
lighten up bro. who cares if someone wants to send him a whole 13 bucks. You don't need to call people naive because of this.


oh and i confess to following wickss to the $25 plo tables. However, I can assure you that I am completely incapable of playing $25 plo in a +EV manner. Finally, it's an honor to blog on the same site as wickss.
