You won't, because I will be out of town.

The gup to BA ratio just went up by one.

Guess I will have to get in the pre-holiday Ross beatdown a week early, tonight...Be thankful I am still your daddy and still have plenty of schooling to give you.

I love when Sheri has to much coffee!

That one too.

Yes sir ladys and gentlemen, this is a showdown between me and my self.

YES TURKEY DRAW SHOULD BE EXCLUSIVE TO GOOD ROOKS AND ABOVE!!!

CITY FOR PRESIDENT!


Although it was awesome watching Ross crush it with super Gup at the CO State DYP. I think Garrett did 5 slow dinks in a row on him. Each time I was like "okay, no WAY is he going to give him another one..."





I heard Miller went up and kicked the stool out from City, and then offered to play him 1 handed for $50, and City then said "holy crap, look at that!!" and pointed in the other direction. Miller looked away, and then back, and all that he saw was the bar door swinging shut.

Boogie was there though, so he probably has more details.

I think Davin should bring all of his awesome beginners!
Maybe there are a few people out there that started as pros. I would really like your autograph.

PS - I would like to apologize to all my draw p's that first year I started playing. If I knew then, what I know now, I wouldn't have played them.

Boogie, no need to be more hostile than me.

I was specifically addressing the first two points City made.

If the only view expressed on this board is that beginners and rooks shouldn't play in the DYP, than indeed I think it would put the brakes on some people showing up.

I think a pot of $750 if 60 peeps including beginners and rooks show up is way radder than $500 if only 40 "City approved" people show up because they feel like too many players don't want any beginner or rooks there.

The Turkey Draw is one of the reasons I got hooked on foos as a BEGINNER!

Hell, its even called the "TURKEY" draw.

Is this how you feel for everyone or just for you?

For me draws were the best. You actually get a chance to play with someone who might be able to coach you along and the learning curve then becomes quick. If you want to get good in the shortest amount of time, I say throw yourself into the toughest field, listen to your partner with an open mind and try to learn as much as you can and play your best. And if you really really suck and can't do nothing right, you owe your partner some beers to help them deal with their crappy draw. lol.

I'm not hating if that really is how you feel, but I'm def on the other end of the spectrum.

I would be curious to know Rob M, Ryan M, and other masters take on this. Would they rather have a field that everyone has a certain amount of experience, or just the biggest pot possible. I'd think the latter, and it's rad that someone like Nick got to draw Robbie when he was a beginner, won it, and I'm pretty sure he learned a lot that night (it was the first time he ever blocked me decently (after Robbie gave him some tips)). Hell maybe he even stuck with foos because of that night... Imagine all those $5 weekly donations we would have missed out on had he quit! lol.

You're exactly right. And Sticky the following year. But I kept my mouth shut...and my ears and eyes open.
