Re: Low Stakes Limit Game - Guy Hollywooding every hand

Why not take him aside quietly, ask him why he is taking so long, and explain low limit protocol. I would nicely tell him you want him to do well, but hes ruining the game for others.

Re: What should I offer for an oceanfront apt. in Miami Beachthese da
