No Way Jose

When an available seat in the 1-2-4 game at DTD is approached by a posturing Venezuelan, who intimates a strong interest in joining the table by asking countless questions, when everyone knows there's no way he'll leave the 50-1.00 table, where he's winning £16.

Love it.

See also Stearnament

Noun

Any tournament featuring Alan Stearne. Its charm is heightened by a late reg and heightened further by a late reg to an empty seat at your table. Fun times sure to follow.

OBJECTION

Stearnament was a term devised about 4 years ago when the hero used to be a reg in the Dtd cash games. Commonly extended to "LOL Stearnaments".

For instance, he beats your set with a rivered gutshot.

"Lol stearnaments".

It must also be noted that Alan has exceptional fashion taste and enjoys shopping at trendy European designers aimed at 20-something hipsters but pulls it off with panache and aplomb.

I confess I had heard of its previous use.

Two things in my defence:

1) The OP does allow for existing words, but with new definitions or uses. The evolution of language and all that;
2) Anything ending "ament" should be in reference to a tournament or the contraction doesn't work.

And what a great game it is.

I think you should spearhead a protest Dan, arriving each week dressed as an 80's music legend until Absolute 80's is restored to it's rightful position as DTD's official soundtrack.

Start with Boy George.

[philthepower]

Pissclick

(1) Pissing your chips away online.

What happened to that huge stack you had?

Oh, I pissclicked it away.

(2) Playing online when drunk, which inevitably leads back to definition (1) unless:

(2i) Your name is Nick Hicks, in which case that second carafe of pinot grigio only serves as rocket fuel to propel you to a Sunday million victory, giving rise to a secondary term:

Hicksclicking

How on earth did you win that? When I left you could barely speak.

I just Hicksclicked my way to victory.

[Rexas]

The Tombomb

Bombing the river after backdooring some weird shit, often with somewhat optimistic starting cards
