    Well I'm a well known sexist so obviously I was trying to infer something along those lines. Not sure exactly what but it was deffinately meant as a slight to women I promise you.

    Muso hates birds. Famous for it.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,881 ✭✭✭bohsman


    Better make sure youre dealing his table tomorrow so...


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 9,035 Mod ✭✭✭✭mewso


    No hang on a minute I've had a think and I'm pretty sure I was making an observation. Yep thats it. If anything it's that we have had no female poker fans posting here up to now so glad you're here to change that Elaine. O.k. P.C. fawning mode off.

    Hes harmless really and seeing as he hates women hell keep out of your way anyway, he does think that poker should be like golf though with no female members but dont think he has anything against female dealers

    Oi! I did not give anyone permission to hijack my joke. Especially one that makes me look bad.

    Wow. how did you figure it out? it wasn't the one feminine name on the poker forum by any chance was it? (apart from Lafortezza?).

    Hi Elaine. good to see you here. Chat to you tomorrow.

    No not Elaine, another one. She'd bust Muso's balls without breaking a sweat. Her secret identity is safe with me....cause she'd bust my balls too :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,221 ✭✭✭Davey Devil


    I know who your talking about and I wouldn't mess with her either.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 9,035 Mod ✭✭✭✭mewso


    I'm still wondering what the hell I may have said that would bring on a busting of said balls but whatever.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,587 ✭✭✭gerire


    Dont worry muso, you deserved it


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    Elaine, Muso looks like "that-guy-from-The-Office" :)
    Poker's most notorious misogynist so he is!

    There are some very good female players in the fitz, I got my head handed to me last night by Collette Doherty in the cash game (who, incidentally, can trash talk as good as any man, that woman can swear like a sailor when she wants to. She called the entire table "a shower of ball-less wonders" when everyone folded to a min raise of hers!). I watched Chris school the NLH cash game over in London cleaning out about 6 players who couldnt accept that this little aul Irish lady was playing them right off the felt! Not to mention Denise and Irene, both of whom have been playing a good long while and regularly play higher stakes then most/any of us! Playing at that level for that length of time means you are either very VERY rich or better then the average at that level (which is pretty good!).

    Oh, poker.ie looks better but I cant read it because of the epilepsy inducing ads. The site twitches like a smack junkie in the 'Joy!
    The message board is fairly rudimentary but otherwise it looks like a nice site and will be helpful when its full of data...

    jesus those ad's are intrusive alright. Try firefox Dev and you can have it block all those things with the addblock plugin.

    Possibly the scariest sentence I've ever read.

    Never listen to DeV.

    Ever.

    One of those tips was obviously to give me muck cards all night, thanks for that :(

    You dealt very well, even managing to handle Joe O'Neill which is impressive in itself :D

    [size=-12]I'm not sure which is worse, going out so early after the break or meeting Joe on his way back from the pub and him commenting that I should have joined him there!![/size]

    You done good kid!

    Very good actually, I thought your dealing was great! Ignore Marq, he's a bitter twisted little man. :p


    Gary, I think the actual Fitz policy for you is "Do Not Give This Man Money". :)

    You could have a point there, although by now they should have realised that I'm perfectly capable of losing all my chips with good cards, they don't always have to give me muck :)
