Ok why I need to win this contest:

1. I need it so that I can stop playing the play chips table cus that's not good learning practice for Hold'em game players.

2. I need it so that I can join the TP league and therefore stay in this forum and be a welcomed part of it instead of just my kewl, funny, annoying self lol .

"If I win this contest I'm going to leave my 'winnings' in here and participate in the TP tourneys and/or league. So in reality you won't lose anything cus if I play like I've been playing, you'll end up winning it all back lmao" .

So TP whatcha think? :p

Ok, I think I have the answer to the contest!

5s4s vs. 7h2d
Board is 6s6h3s3d

72 is ahead, 54 is behind.

54 can win with: 2h, 2c, 7c, 7d, any spade (9), any 4 (3), any 5 (3) = 19. Any other card will result in a split pot. The 72 can not win, which I just think it wicked cool.

:D

Sorry, TP. I couldn't resist after reading the thread you mentioned. Please don't ban me like you did JJ. ;)

And, yes, very cool contest. Incredibly tough too.

rookette22 12-07-05 09:12 PM

huh?? :confused:

Nikita 12-07-05 09:15 PM

Read the thread TP posted in this comment, then you'll understand.

rookette22 12-07-05 09:28 PM


I actually went there today but ....Why would he just want us to copy paste an already answered question?

Nikita 12-07-05 09:32 PM

I was trying to be funny. I'm pretty sure that's not what the contest is.

rookette22 12-07-05 09:37 PM

hmm ok but you sounded so kewl and at the same time a little insane when you first posted what you posted lmao

Nikita 12-07-05 09:45 PM

Nope, not me who's cool. That one is all TP. I don't know where he came up with that Hold'em hand, but it's quite amazing that the hand that is leading by the turn, can't win on the river. I would really read that whole thread to get an understanding of it. Plus it was quite humorous too.

Talking Poker 12-07-05 10:38 PM

LIES! It's from Tommyboy!

:D

Talking Poker 12-07-05 10:41 PM

Rook - you're killing me here. This is like the gagillionth off topic thing (give or take) that you've posted in this thread (or other incorrect threads). I suppose this thread is kind of an exception, but typically, if you have a new topic you want to talk about, start a new thread.

Don't make me tie you up and force you to watch this 100 times:


Cause I'll do it.

Gordogg 12-07-05 10:41 PM

Lol. And actually it's not sung by Hall and Oates. I can't remember the guys name that sings it but he looks like Al from Tool Time.

Talking Poker 12-07-05 10:42 PM

I got it.

:)

Talking Poker 12-07-05 10:44 PM

Way cool, isn't it? That's one of my favorite threads ever, despite the morons in there who kept copying other people's answers or at the most changing the suit of one card (usually putting duplicate cards in play).

Credit Barry Greenstein for where I came up with that.

Talking Poker 12-07-05 10:46 PM

It's Hall & Oates.

It's "She's a Maniac," but I prefer Farley's "I'm a maniac" version much, much more.

Here's the dude that sings it. Michael Sembello. This is the only pic I could find that showed what he looked like when he sang "Maniac" in 1983. I could have a hell of a time with this picture in paint.

Gordogg 12-07-05 10:56 PM

Don't think so pal. Wtf, you have five years on me as well TP. ;)



POW! Lmao.

Gordogg 12-07-05 10:58 PM

Was that the contest? To see who could name the singer of "Maniac" and find a picture to boot? Thought I'd get this thread back on topic, heh.

Talking Poker 12-07-05 11:28 PM

Oh, please. You think I can't google up some proof for you:


Wit that said, your guy is definitely in more of the results, including Flashdance specific ones. I believe he redid the song... but Hall & Oates wrote it.

Apparently, we are not the first forum to have this discussion:


:)

Robbie Robb 12-07-05 11:41 PM

Insane, yes. Very. Believe me. If anyone would know, it is I.... :)

Robbie Robb 12-07-05 11:42 PM

You just wanna tie Rook up...that's all :D

Gordogg 12-08-05 12:06 AM

That's interesting. I guess we are all right. I'm righter though because it was the "Flashdance" version that was in question. LMAO. ;) :rolleyes:

Talking Poker 12-08-05 12:15 AM

Um...................

Duh. :rolleyes:

X-Longshot-X 12-08-05 11:35 AM

I dont think we will ever find a winner....because the winner is the one who doesnt piss TP off during the running of this contest...and as of yet no one is to do that :-)

Talking Poker 12-08-05 12:41 PM

Interesting theory. But, alas, it is also incorrect.
