If

[RED-DOG]

If you can keep your chips when all about you
 Are losing theirs and blaming it on you
If you can bet your trips when all men doubt you
 But make allowance for their betting too
If you can wait and not get tired of waiting
 Or be outdrawn and yet not go on tilt
Or being hated dont give way to hating
 While trying to protect the stack youve built

If you can draw, yet not make draws your master
 If you can bluff, but not make bluff your aim
If you can play with Hellmuth or with Hansen
 And treat those two imposters just the same
If you can bear to hear the truth youve spoken
 Twisted by hacks to make a trap for fools
Or see your pocket aces cracked and broken
 Then take abuse from folk who break the rules

If you can bet a pot with all your bankroll
 If you can hit your set and risk it all
And lose your wedge to someones gutshot straight draw
 And bite your lip and say to him nice call
If you forgive the morons and the muppets
 Who take the pot you know you should have won
Well then one day you might become a player
 And, which is more, youll be a man my son

Marvellous stuff

try this



There was an old dog from Leicester
All at Blonde thought him a jester
Was he in luck at Poker?
No it's runner, runner. What a choker!
Another early exit, off to fester!



Please someone, do better..............

Oh Tony
Dear Tony
How I like your profile pic
That nicotine soaked creature always gave me such a kick
I love that frightening monster with his pinpoint eyes of red
And he is oh so happy with Blondepoker on  his head
Oh Tony
Dear Tony
How I shiver with delight
How I smile to see your message in the darkness of the night
My eyes are all a-twinkle, my breath I hold in bliss
When I feel the sweet vibration of your tender virtual kiss
Oh Tony
Dear Tony
How I need you so, my dear
And I long to hear the words you text like whispers in my ear
I promise that I'll love you and I'll promise to be true
Just as long as you will let me keep on texting you
Oh Tony
Dear Tony
Only one thing makes me sad
Your live updates are wonderfull
But your poker is so bad

[TightEnd]
