Mike won't even play me HU Stud 8, I have no idea how he could cut off someone's finger.

If I come in and post this in every thread mentioning Crazy Mike he has to play me eventually right?

Also Mike I'm gonna try to start a 75 game today so if you're here you should drop by, I'll start the game HU with you if you're the only one there that wants to play but there should be a few people.

do you get to go to the hospital and try to have it put back on? I think it's also highly dependent on your networth, as well as future projected earnings.

According to a Roald Dahl short story you have to try to successfully light his lighter 5 times in a row using your right hand while your left hand is tied down ready for the chop. If you fail he can chop off the finger, if you pass the test you win his car.

Coincidentally I just read this very story the other day. It's 10 times, by the way, not 5.

This was also the premise for the last scene in "Four Rooms" (I assume the Dahl story was the inspiration).

50k + cost of getting it reattached seems reasonable. I'm no doctor but I imagine it would be pretty much back to normal within 6 weeks or so.

i was playing in the 2k limit tourney (i think) and overheard some guy at a neighboring table. he was just being loud and obnoxious and i thought to myself wow i'd really like to shut that guy up. i later heard him introduce himself as crazy mike.

This seems wildly optimistic.

I agree. It's not just whether or not it stays on, you have to reattach tendons and such. And if you cut through the bone you basically have a broken finger that has to heal as well. If this goes down I'll take the over on 6 weeks.
