Re: HAL LUBARSKY. BLIND MAN TO GO ALL THE WAY
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] How about they just record what the reader says? "The guy in seat 2 is named Mike, he folded." okay "Mike scrunched his eyebrows when the flop came out." okay "Mike's probably got you beat." no. [/ QUOTE ] Jack....I hope you are kidding. I would love to be able to enter a tourney and have someone concentrate on player reaction while I crunch numbers. Tell ya what. I'll play you heads up with my eyes closed the whole time but I get to have someone whispering to me the whole time following your rules of what is OK and what is not. Sound good? [/ QUOTE ] Wow I'm getting to this thread late but you are a [censored] joke. "Crunch numbers," huh? Yeah there are some pretty heavy-duty computations that have to happen at the poker table, and it would be a monstrous advantage to be able to focus all your energy on the all-important number crunching. Also, I can't recall if it was you or some other jagoff who complained about the guy with no arms playing, but I think it's also terrible that we let people with wheelchairs come to the table and make us scoot over. How am I supposed to crunch numbers with these selfish quadriplegics taking up the space reserved for my abacus?

[ QUOTE ] Wow you guys are dicks. The guy is f-ing blind. Give him a break. Do you really think this is some blind poker strategy expert and his tell-master prodigy assistant teaming up to gain an unfair advantage? Oh, and sory you were so grossed out by the guy with no arms. He should definitely not be allowed in a casino. [/ QUOTE ] seriously, wtf? I can gaurantee you that that guy's feet were cleanter than 99% of poker players' cum stained hands. [/ QUOTE ] For the record, I always wash my hands after I rub one out in the bathroom.

This proves how ridiculous Harrah's is and maybe it is because of the concern for receiving negative PR. But you can't speak a foreign language at the table and you can't have an IPhone, but someone can whisper in your ear what other players are doing and possibly how to play your hand? Don't get me wrong I feel bad that he's blind, but this shouldn't be allowed. [/ QUOTE ] I played with him for over 3 hours on Day 1D, and as soon as I sat down, I was wondering what I would do if I saw his seeing-eye man whisper in his ear while he was in a hand after telling him his cards. It never came up, and it seems they both know pretty well what is kosher and what is not. When we played together, the only time the SEM would whisper in his ear other than to tell him what his hand was was when a new player sat at the table, he'd tell him what he looked like, stack size, etc.
