"... a half-dozen recent Stanford graduates and their friends, whose escapades, fueled by Rusty Nail and Green Apple cocktails, would delight Dean Martin." Smithsonian Magazine "For a few good belly laughs, read these true tales.... Amidst their PG-13-rated stories of ribaldry in Las Vegas, there is a surprising amount of intelligent discussion of poker." New York Times "... they dress in women's clothes and go to poker rooms. They think this is of great interest to other poker players. This strikes me as a rather pathetic, or at least sophomoric, attempt to get attention." rec.gambling.poker

Dicebuy rules again!

The following message was sent to the Tiltboys list after the most recent home game:

For those of you who were not at the last game, Diceboy's magic was clearly back (if it ever went away).

Two hands in particular tell the story.

The first hand was spit and shit, where Diceboy left to call his wife but Paul played his hand for him while he was gone. Diceboy called all the way, then replaced on the end, drew an inside straight wheel vs my open trips, declared both, and scooped a rather sizable pot without having ever been there.

The second hand we were playing a wild variant of Dingaling. The details of the variant aren't all that important, but the "drop" cards are dealt from a different deck. When it came time to the final card, Diceboy says "This WAS going to be the last card" and shows a 5. He burns that card and flips a different one. Diceboy was on tilt because he had 2 cards left in his hand, and A and a 5. However, after the final betting round was over, I showed Diceboy the REAL tilter: I had two cards left as well -- and they were 5 - 5. I would have dingalinged, not dropped, and declared both and scooped a nice pot. I don't think Dice could have put me on a dingaling and probably would have been raising with me (although I guess A-A is as likely as 5-5 since he had one of each).

Diceboy continues to amaze.

Other tilters from that night:

I tried to pre-tilt Phil for the game. First I mentioned having just seen him on Poker After Dark, where Erick Lindgren called him an idiot.

Then a few of us were sitting around, and we were trying to decide what to play. Someone teasingly says "Why don't we play that Hold'em game. Isn't that what Rafe won a bracelet in?" I replied "That game is boring. Let's play something else. Phil, what is your bracelet in?"

There was much other teasing and Phil came into the game on full megatilt. Phil ended the night as the big loser, but no one really won or lost huge.
