    Hats off to poster "Thegiant"

    Well since I am arguably the most credible poster here in every significant facet I will be periodically be giving "props" if you will to posters who deserve it. There won't be any bashing, I don't believe in negativity unless it is 100% necessary.

    I had a bit of insomnia last night so I woke up about 330 am and wanted to play some cards. Since I am in the United States and am therefore not responsible enough to do it with my own money it came down to SBR. I caught up with him at 5/10 but I didn't want to play with my real stack only 174 from a roll over. He agreed to play 2/4 with me and was completely cool when I hit my rollover and left almost right after many would have cried about that. He even tracked down this new Bobby video that I want to see for me, I couldn't find it but I appreciate the effort.

    This is a stand up guy and a class act and many of you fools could learn a ton about class and ethics from him.

    The Giant is very inquisitive, eager to wallow in SBR drama past & present.

    The Giant, I know things that would make your hair stand on end.

    Call me.

    The Giant has been a handicapping machine over various forums for years. Very knowledgeable in NBA, NFL and bases. Was top notch at Covers for years.

    these appear to be contradictory statements

    you won't bash, but we are fools that need to learn about class and ethics?

    Wow, I somehow missed this thread the first time through.

    Thanks for the kind words, guys....and Steve, all the mean-spirited things I said about your upcoming nuptials, I take them all back. You are the man.

    Steve blows the Giant and then the Giant comes back in here and speaks in code. I'll translate:

    The giant is my shrink, instead of paying a fortune to see Dr Phil this guy will give you a free consultation with the same quality as Dr Phil at any time. Not kidding. Great player, smart shrink, nice guy, ethics are guaranteed.

    Not your best work, baskets, but the effort is most appreciated.

    Dude, you've been kind of feisty lately, arguing with the natives. Stay away from Frizzelli, this guy will eat you for lunch. If you need another counseling session, let me know.

    Me and the giant were @ the poker tables last night. He took down some pots as did I.

    I happened to chat with him about baby mama drama and the weirdest thing happened.. He snapped his fingers 3 times and everything was ok. I was suddenly in a relaxed state.I have never seen anything like it before even after watching every single Dr Phil episode in existence. Thank you Giant you are good peoples!

    Smoke, it was my pleasure, my friend. After watching you dominate the table with an array of moves that completely baffled the inferior opponents, I could still see that there was something upsetting you.

    As your chip stack mounted, I noticed there was still unhappiness in your eyes. You know I hate when you're unhappy, right?

    I knew what needed to be done.

    I'm ecstatic to hear that the three snaps did the trick. Usually it only takes two, but you were in pretty bad shape.

    Smoke is back, and he is better than ever!

    I think Giant is going from under-rated poster to "rated" at his high level, by more and more.....

    hope he keeps up the good work!
