Summer Poker Review

While passing the halfway point of the 2019 Slow Play Saloon season, I thought we should revisit our beloved blog in an attempt to rile up the masses.

5 Games Left and some of you are still continuing to embarrass yourselves with sub par play or missing tournaments altogether.

I thought if I associated players with a famous person this might drive home the importance of how some of you are perceived every third Friday of the month.

I'll apologize in advance as some of you may be offended with the following analogies. Most I believe are very close comparisons.

Since Frank has a good since of humor we will start with him.

Quiet Italian that your pretty sure you do not want to "F" with. Fronts include construction rackets and the wholesale rabbit trade. Many players that have questioned his play are said to be under a pile of dirt in the driveway. Rumor also has it he was under suspicion for evading kids labor laws due to age of his servers during poker events.

On to Josh

I was stuck trying to find an mediocre Attorney with a similarly bizarre hairstyle that plays poker albeit poorly in most cases. After searching all corners of the Internet I had to make a tough call. This one does hit all the check marks

Attorney - ✔

Questionable hairstyle - ✔

Plays poker - ✔

Likes Girls - ✔

Height under 5'4" - ✔

Is not always the man in the relationship - ✔

How about our ever so angry host Aaron

Talk of chops, re-buys, 10 person final tables or a any "AK" calling his "all in" could spell disaster.

Somewhere between 1 and 18 German beers is usually when his temper gets tested.

He has been known to preemptively raise blinds from $200-$400 to $5000-$10000 on hand after he is eliminated.

It has been said that when he visits Germany for Oktoberfest, the locals even cower when he starts on his third stein.

Tony is our last review. The black sheep of the league he tends to donk his way into the top 10 only to donk it right back off again come summers end into Fall.

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer he likes his beer and occasional chewing tobacco. Currently in 5th place an outsider might mistake him as a "contender" or "player" but us fellow players can see past this facade.

Originally invited by a player who was invited by a player who was invited by a player his origins still confound the group.

As not much of a threat, his $100 donation a month will ensure his email stays on the invite list for many years to come. I would appreciate it if one of you could help Tony with the big words on this blog.
