When I clicked his hendon mob page and saw he had $3m in tournament winnings dating back to 1992, I thought to myself - this guy might be break even despite all that.
Turns out I may be right...

The 'reasons why I deserve a website' bit is pretty weird, like you need to justify it, refreshing though.

Reasons why I deserve a Website

1) I have the home phone number for Annie Duke, (Which will promptly go on auction, on my site, if I go broke).

2) If I cash at the world series 20 more times I’ll go from 35th to 5th in all-time cash outs at the World Series of poker tournaments!

3) I have been staked by more of the top 100 poker players in the world than any other player! Including Johnny Chan, Kathy Liebert, Eric Seidel, Men the Master, Hassan Habib etc. etc. etc.

4) I’ve won over 30 poker tournaments on the internet including a World championship of on-line poker and ,amazingly ,six $11, with rebuy, tournaments!

5) If I win one WPT tournament for $3,760,000 I’ll go from 188th to 23rd in All-time, World Wide, Tournament money winnings! And be the only player to have won a WPT, WSOP and WCOOP tournament.

6) As I speak I've won $1,716,155 in Tournaments! Of course I've lost $1,716,135 in entries, but that still makes me a $20 lifetime Winner!! Much better than most!

7) I finished third in the University of Detroit Toothpick Bridge contest.

I wonder has he factored expenses into that....?

He has gone from 35th to 23rd in all time number of wsop cashes, one above Phil Ivey and one below Johnny Chan.


BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Might email him and see if he is willing to replace Icarus here.

[coillcam]

He looks kinda like a ginger Paul Giamatti.

Today is one of my fave games of season my mother is brummie and all that side are Villa fans living about 10 mins from Villa park. My Da was always United and I inherited that. been to the Villa park game the last 2 seasons kinda sick I'm missing it this year.

Keep the red flag flying high.


Liverpool take on Stoke at 5.30 0n ESPN Laddies price up under 2.5 goals at 4/7 Powers and most other firms go 4/6 with a few 8/13. The standout bet of the day for me is under 2.5 with StanJames at 8/11(also on Betfair). Should be a tight game Stoke have been involved in a few games this season with decent scorelines a couple of 3-1 and 2-1 3-0 etc. But Hodgson won't come with a goal fest in mind it'll be a 1-0 smash and grab job, which could go either way.

[Aya14]

Aston Villa: Friedel, Luke Young, Dunne, Collins, Warnock, Albrighton, Hogg, Bannan, Downing, Ashley Young, Agbonlahor.
Subs: Guzan, Delfouneso, Osbourne, Lichaj, Herd, Lowry, Johnson.
Man Utd: Van der Sar, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Park, Fletcher, Carrick, Nani, Hernandez, Berbatov.
Subs: Amos, Smalling, Fabio Da Silva, O'Shea, Obertan, Macheda, Gibson.

cool thanks - was on msn to one of the lads (he was in 2nd) and he was asking what he should do - I told him to snap their hand off. he just didnt seem to happy about it so thought Id ask here.

deal making is important but its hard to know what to factor into your decision

i wouldnt if i was chipleader tho

[Bubbleking]

yeah the CL fooked himself alright. I think my mate felt he was better than the other too but it was a bit of a crap shoot at that stage so I think the deal was the right call

I'll probably get over it.

[Jackyback]

Need villa to hold, evens at home +1 goal was too good for passing up

[Bubbleking]

a speculative request for a 45 min hold....

[shano_88]

How arent Villa winning this?

Edit: 1-0, A. Young

[The C Kid]

United are awful!

[kakak1]

United are awful!

the worst united team in years, how are they still in contention for the pl, fcuking hopeless they are

[davepoke/her]

I always wonder that whenever I look at the United team but the fuckers are always up there.

[kakak1]

just had to delete what I said about Macheda

[Hatedajacks]

Macheda wouldn't get a game for Sligo Rovers tomorrow, useless tool

spoke too soon?

[The C Kid]

Have you watched the game today?

They have been awful.

That what he said!

[The C Kid]

Only need to play for ten minutes it seems haha!

Great response.

[kakak1]

spoke too soon?

you wern't supposed to see that, you're too quick........

[kakak1]

United are my team & maybe that comeback is why they are there or thereabouts ...........but they were & are hopeless, especially in midfield

[The C Kid]

Dean bottled the penalty incident to be fair, how can it not be a read if he gives a penalty?

[mocata]

+1

Taking the 1pm flight to chicago, arrives in Vegas around 8 pm their time, quick shower and into spearmint rhino for 9

[shano_88]

Vidic should have got a second yellow aswell celebrating the goal. Young got one. LOL consistency!

cos he wasn't last man back, ferdinand was as close

[shano_88]

I thought it was denying a goal scoring oppurtunity now

[The C Kid]

There's no such rule as last man, it's just something commentators say. It's "denying a clear goalscoring opportunity". He's 12 yards out in centre of the goal.

When you see Bramble getting sent for taking out Carroll 25 yards out on the far right handside of the box, and then see that, it's easy to see why managers get so annoyed at no consistency.

Would have been a harsh one. Brown ploughed him into the crowd

[The C Kid]

Would have been a harsh one. Brown ploughed him into the crowd

Then Brown should get the yellow

So either way they have a man sent off!

Very true, this straight red rule isn't enforced in all these situations. Refs normally just bottle it and give a yellow.

[Silver-Tiger]

It was released today, wanted to go see it but ended up going to see Due Date, really funny

Kinda tilts me when people go "its no Hangover" eh it has nothing to do with it you idiot!

I'm not having this Danny, It was a shocker, Pure shite. The first half was bearable but the 2nd half was lol bad. Your right it shouldn't be compared to the Hangover it should be compared to Plains Trains and Automobiles as its a buddy road movie. But if John Hughes and John Candy seen how they do it these days they would turn in their graves.

[Opr]

Pav having a shocker for Spurs. Lol @ VDV not taking penalties.

[max_power]

Anyone watching England Australia? Game on.

Pav took a peno ahead of VdV and missed? FFS FF points gone amiss there

Yes, he also missed a sitter just before that but just put the ball in the back of the net so guess its all good Bale carrying his CL form into the league. He's been rampant and has an assist and a goal already.

I think his point was that he has VdV and would expert him to score a peno and so he's not happy, i don't think he cares if pav scores tbh.

[KevIRL]

Ireland so so bad.

[The C Kid]

We play a 100 times better when Pav plays so I don't care if he misses sitters all day, as we create f*ck all in the Premiership when he doesn't.

[Ste05]

So did anything mad happen here over the last week?

What's the story with the thread title?

[carlop]

Brag: I must have never pressed confirm changes when I changed my FF team and left Dann and Foster in when I'd planned on taking them out. Ship the double clean sheet!

Beat: I had also planned on starting Foley but he was left on my bench.

[Emmet]

Murrayfield. Hoping for a huge score!

[KevIRL]

hmmmm mixed day on the FF front. New signing Jarvis did the business ad VdV as capt as well. But had Foster and Albrighton on the bench

[dannydiamond]

I went for Carroll over Bale for captain. Happy with at least 15 points from Bale but 30 would've obv been sweeter!

[ionapaul]

Snagged two free premium level tickets to the Ireland-v-Samoa game earlier, I was planning to head down to Slatterys around 2pm to see if I could get some tickets for €25 / each (knew there were a lot of unwanted ones floating around) but spotted a post on Boards offering some unwanted freebies. Only started to PM back and forth at 1.45pm or so but it turned out the guy offering them actually lives where I do in Milltown and I picked them up (he refused payment) at 1.55pm or so, loads of time to get to the game! People can be really sound, he was initially willing to drive to Donnybrook to hand them over to me, without wanting any cash at all and just wanting them to be used.

Have Bale in the FF but managed to transfer Pav out this week for Carroll My front line of Pav, Berbs and Tevez give me a grand total of 5 points this week! Need my captain Malouda to do the business tomorrow.

My hope for the Grand Prix - Webber and Alonso to run into each other and Vettel to grab the title from under both of their noses...I dislike both of them and think Vettel is a great driver and more importantly seems like a decent person to boot.
