Originality at the poker table?

Close but no cigar!

I’ve been ‘watching’ the 10K 7-stud on Pokernews.com. Archie Karas who turned $50 in to 17-mil, is playing and this exchange happened. (Archie prides himself on his stud credentials.)

Ted Lawson: “What’d you make this time?”
Karas: “Flush.”
Lawson: “Jesus Christ! Rivered me three times!!”

Another interesting exchange was reported by the pun-loving folks doing the feed. No pun from the TassieDevil — who’s also pimping for Full Tilt — but funny to me.

Hellmuth was overheard chatting to Forrest about the Mike Matusow weight-loss bet with Forrest saying, “Mike will definitely lose that bet money back to me some way!”

Raymer then comments that he should buy up somebody’s owed debt which leads to Forrest replying, “…there should be a website – bidonpokerdebts.com – there would probably be a market for it!”

You listening TonyG? I expect a cut. Don’t think the points will be the same as for our T$ exchange.

I saw a site on the net that allows you to buy small chunks of loans made to people who talk their item and give their credit history. That varies from almost CD rates to almost late credit card rates. I’ve got to think this might have to go higher than even that.

Compncards reported:

Nick “The Greek” Karras and Phil Hellmuth were just overhead saying the following:

“The Greek”: “You’re the best. You’re the best by far.”

Hellmuth: “I don’t know about that. Maybe the luckiest.”

Has Hellmuth learned humility? Stay tuned to see.

If you are making player notes here, the one for Compncards’ view of the world has to be
