I was playing 15/30 at the Wynn and some kid asked if I was 2+2. I said "yeah, I'm Private Joker." And he goes, "you're Private Joker? Wow, I thought you'd be a big black guy."

Actually, 6 people have said that to me when they met me.

My mom doesn't know that I've played online, but she does know I have a keen interest in poker. So, she's always telling me this story about a kid that lost hundreds of thousands of dollars playing online poker, thinking that he was winning, and ended up robbing a bank to pay off his debts. I think the moral of the story is that you guys should all feel bad for ruining this kid's life.

to mother, after she kept asking:

me: "i dunno, i think i won $450 today or something."

her: "but how much did you lose??"

[/ QUOTE ]


This is the absolute worst. A couple of months ago I won my first "big" tournament, for over $2100 dollars. It was a big deal to me, not just the money but also the win. I told my brothers a week later, and one of em asked me "and how much did you lose?" they couldn't stop grinning.

haha i get a lot of this type of stuff too.

i normally just say something like "ya, i guess i just got lucky."

[BluffBlank]

I had to listen to a coworker the other day tell me about how he "moved up" from the $1 Sit & Go's to the $5 Sit & Go's and is winning because "they respect his raises more" and don't just "chase to the river" ><
