So that's what I'm doing wrong. I knew there had to be a secret.
At least he knows the lingo and gave you a proper farewell.
One time I was playing 2/5 in the SB and I thought what does ULARG mean so I did this:
ULARG - Google Search
Second hit brought me right back here. I call it fate..
LOL..thats hilarious...does that mean whiteboi is a CPF member also?
this is a classic maneuver at Stars
If I had a nickel for everytime I was this guy (the guy being pushed out, not the pusher) I wouldn't have to play poker anymore.
