This is one creepy looking bastard
You think that photo is more than 20 years old or what?
I've been really aggressive in the bar league tourneys lately and for the most part it has paid off. 3 out of 7 cashes (1 win) and 4 out of 7 making it to the final table. Not the last two tournaments though. My K's got beat by a spiked 5 to complete a set of 5's last week. This week I flop two pair with a Qx-8x in the big blind. Flop is Qx-8c-5c...guy next to goes all-in. I know he's on a club flush draw....I call...Kc on the river kills me. Actually any Q or 8 on the river would have saved me...to no avail..no Q no 8 on the river. I lost 2/3's of my chips on that one. My last hand of the night...I had As-10d. I call the 200 blind....somebody who was looking at my 800 chips raises to 500. I go all-in...he calls with Kx-2o...spikes a K on the flop. My reads are getting better......
I've been watching some of the poker shows on GSN (High Stakes Poker) and Travel Channel (PPT). These two shows are very interesting. The pro's that are playing each other are really clueless as to what anybody else has. I think that the pro's have a huge read on any amateur who steps up to the table. They must have such an advantage until they are playing each other....just my observation from these two shows. I like Gabe Kaplan as the host of High Stakes Poker....but what the fuck is A.J. Bent-za doing there? Really...WTF were they thinking.
I like Horse Racing...my grandfather used to bring me to the local horse racing track (Rockingham Park in Salem NH). That's where I had my first beer...I placed my first bet.....the atmosphere was electric. Anyway, back to the present here....who the fuck cares about Barbaro. The damn horse has second billing on the nightly news to the conflict in the middle-east. Everytime I turn on the TV Barboro's ankle is swelling or some hair is across his ass....reminds me of that baby from Iraq. Baby fucking Noor...like there's not a lot of babies in the world that need medical attention. I think this post relates to one that i've read here before. The stories that the media latches on to are ridiculous.
I'm out of here for the weekend (work that is).....

Bob had a horrible motorcycle accident many years ago and has multiple reconstructive surgery on his face. He still can't really breathe out of his nose, and I've seen him carrying around tissues, too.
Is this true? If so.....then I feel like a jerk.
Of course it's true. Why would I say that if it wasn't? I mean, I wasn't around at that time, but it's a well known story.
He opened Vegas World (now Stratosphere), he invented face up 21, he's been around town forever.
Don't feel too bad, though, he's not the nicest guy I know.

I did not know that....I stayed at the Stratosphere during my bachelor party in '03....it was a fun place. I also thought that it might have something to do with the mountain of cocaine he probably did in the past.
Thanks for the info.
