Results oriented!!!!

I saw you lose that AA vs. KK to Farha on HSP for like $100k and it didn't even look like it phased you.
But you generally don't show a lot of emotion at the table either way I guess.

4. I have to remember to log off before my nephew gets to my laptop. A couple of his friends are here too. One of them bragged that he noticed I was logged in and told Michael, "This is all you. You have to come up with something."

Why don't you instead smack your nephew silly and tell him to stop hanging out with degenerates who don't respect other people and their property?

Oh god the horror! They played a stupid prank on a bunch of degens that read an internet message board! They should be out selling drugs or doing something else productive right?

I am the "degenerate" and Barry took it very well. He read this comment while I was right next to him and he just laughed.

Recently I bet a well known poker player (who requested to remain anonymous) that I could walk into Congregation Ner Tamid and lead an entire service posing as a Rabbi. Using my excellent beard and cunning Hebrew skills, I won this bet. Given that until the time the bet was placed, (about a month ago) I had not practiced Judaism at all, nor spoke a word of Hebrew, I believe this to be one of the greatest prop-bet accomplishments ever. Please discuss.

Hey Barry,

For those of us who are not Jewish you might explain what all that entails. I guess the whole service is in Hebrew?

[/ QUOTE ]

The morning minyan service on saturday is for the most part in Hebrew, with english commentary about moral issues discussed in the Torah.

And you used the House of the Lord to bamboozle money
out of your fellow man?

You're a fine schmecker!

1. David K is David Kim. He beat me a 320k pot where we got the money in with one to go where I had the nuts, but he had 13 outs. He wanted to run it twice. I relented and offered to run it three times. He said no and we ran it once. I rabbit hunted and found that I would have won the next two.


[/ QUOTE ]

I thought you never run anything more than one time in order to put fear in your opposition? What changed?

Anyone can lead prayers as long as you know how, you dont have to be a rabbi to do this. This could be taught in a week easy (if you know basic hebrew), ...

How hard would it be to lean to read (ie, pronounce, not understand) Hebrew in a week. I'm pretty good at languages, and I was mostly able to read French and German with a good accent in a couple days. It took me a bit longer to learn a few new sounds (ue, oe, and German R back trill). And it's not that I was going to pass for native. But still. So would Hebrew be completely harder? (What if you had good transliterations to use?) I think I could do Russian (with the alphabet) in a week. that is, again, read text that I don't understand with a good accent.

The prank may be annoying, but the Sklansky pastiche was excellent.

It would be very easy to learn to read it in a week.

But not to be able to sing it and learn to do it fast.

It would literally take months of study at a minimum to be able to do a 3 hour service, using the normal prayer books, and sound legit.
