I've seen these sold plenty of times before, the shark can be replaced easily.

I said this earlier, but Humberto actually has 2 sharks now - one is even a laser pointer, ffs.

meh, I actually like Humberot unlike 90% of the forum. he's a showman at heart, and I don't think it's his pure intentions to be such a douche. and people like Humberto make poker look good on TV, where a friendly happy cheering atmosphere is more warranted compared to angle-shooting and venomous words.

i like shane's idea of stealing humberto's shark(s) and getting ESPN involved. only problem being that whoever steals it is forever known as "that guy that stole humberto's shark".

also, best to steal it asap, and then return it in time for the main event.

About a month ago people were going to put up a few hundred for someone to just do it, now that someone is willing to do it, people are bitching about him taking any of it.



Shut up.

Very true, if i said "i'll do it for you peoples money" there'd be no insults, but the second i mention half goes to charity i'm a greedy ass for not giving it all?

And yes, this is absolutely happening.

Also, i kinda like Shaniacs ideas. So alright, i'm doing this for more hilarity purposes than anything. Phil said "i'll give you $1000 to destroy it" i said "why not make it 50% and we turn it into charity drive."

Apparently, this will give me the image of a money grubbing douche. I see that as -EV.

Okay then, so all money goes to charity, i don't want that image.

I still need someone to make a really good argument as to whether i steal or destroy though.

But if you see me around afterwards, ya know, feel free to buy me a drink or cigar for a job well done, hint hint, nudge nudge.

Also, getting ESPN involved would make me almost invincible.

Destroying it right there in the poker room might be hard, depending on what material it is made out of.

Give the other 50% to a charity of Humberto's choice. I'm not too high on the 50% thing, but if you aren't profiting, I'll see to it that the appropriate ESPN producers will be notified and ready when you're good to go.

then humberto will guaranteed to be aware of it and it will be more circus acting time for him when the time comes which is why everyone is sick of him.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is already a bad idea for this exact reason. Its not going to be funny and its ust going to give Humberto more attention which is bad for poker and for my sanity. Raise the money quitely let this thread die and do it in a funny way without him knowing about it.

Also dont do it if you are going to keep any of the money for yourself imo.

OP will look like a douche on TV. 100% sure. Even if everyone hates Brennan and his shark. Most people don't like to watch "bullys" who take other people's stuff and destroy it.

Just offer the money to the cameramen so that they won't give him any attention. That'll hurt him.

As I said already: you'll probably look like an idiot if you destroy it. Instead, I'd focus on trying to take it away from him and into the public domain so that he can't take it back. Put it on a pedestal and declare it the guardian of the wsop or crap like that (not too complicated, it's TV!) after you made a procession through the cardroom and maybe even get a few guys to sacrifice a few chips (maybe some small denomination cash game chips) to it, if you want to hurt a few religious feelings along the way. He can't take it away from there and he can't get out a 2nd one. So he'll have to stand next to it and smile about it. And it will all be "good humor."
