Message: [QUOTE="onebourbon, post: 1170030, member: 17573"] Yes, it was a bit fk'd up.....well, actually it was VERY FK'D UP. You see, I grew up out here in the boonies - in the middle of tobacco country in south western Ontario...major agricultural area - in fact we just got half of the mexican workers they import every summer - who brought the "swine flu" virus with them. It is still a bit hush but it's about to become as big as the "SARS" epedemic we had in Toronto a few years ago - completely different epidemic but just as catastrofic. I digress...sorry - anyway...I moved to Toronto 25 years ago and recently moved back so everyone knows me or of me from the old days. But I might just have well been a stranger to them, yet they new me as "the computer guy" when I walked into the barn. Now these peeps are built like a brick shit house - tall and solid muscle yet as dumb as a friggin slab of wood - but damn they are hard workers. I'm not a small guy myself - 6'1ish - 185lbs so I can hold my own if needed. But not against 20 of them at once. Each and everyone of them think they are poker god's so it's not about the money - they want and need the title of the best poker player on the planet...hell when I told them I saw Gus Hansen lose 1/2 million in 2 hands the other day on FullTilt they looked at me as if I had 2 heads or something...jeeeesh. Anyway.....needless to say I took them all out in a few hours and they didn't take it lightly, as I said - it's not about the money..it's about the "status" they want(and/or need) One kid actually said he had placed a call for a "hitman" on my head....I said fk...why not take me out yourself idiotstick - why do you need to hire a "hitman"? no comment. Just about that time one of my buddies dropped in who invited me to the game to begin with - he had to leave early for medical reasons, but thank god he popped in when shit was hitting the fan and coming to a boil. Yes I won a fair bit of cash from them - like I said it was $25 entry with 1 re-buy - which they all had to rebuy - 9 of us in round 1, then a new set of 8 for the second round (me being the 9th of course) - you do the math. Was it worth it? NO. I'll never play live again unless in a casino...if I do I certainly will need a bodyguard - PERIOD. (these boys carry shotguns behind their truck seats 24/7 for hunting - so jeeeesh - kinda scary) Well, that pretty much sums it up - sorry Trigga for being short-wick'd last night - I apologise. Good luck on the felts! [/QUOTE]
