Meanwhile I was hanging around a table with redbull, Honeybadger, peejay, bookiebasher, raggy clarke looking for action

I had to settle for action from Honeybadger's vocal chords

"Fifteen bananas" he tells the dealer as he bets 1500 on a flop

"Thirty two bananas" on the 3200 turn


wins the pot...pause

next hand is dealt

off he starts

"its my ambition to win a poker tournament before April 7th my birthday. You need a lot of luck and skill to win one and I never have as I have no luck and no skill...."

pause...before he meanders verbally in another direction.....
