About as funny as the blackjack dealer that "pretends" they have the ace under their face. Bad form.
Nice job w/ the updates this week, though!!
Keep foldin', Jack!!!!
13 more till people start making money. NICE! Going to watch the Final table on Thursday. I can't believe they have almost another week to play. Very tiring I'm sure.
Congratulations Jack! I'm very happy for you and hopefully I can watch you at the Final Table!

OH YEAH..I see your Freddy Deeb and I raise you:
Howard Lederer spent considerable time with his parents and siblings on the family room floor engrossed in card games. He credits his father for preparing him for the competitive world of high-stakes poker by never intentionally losing a game to him.
At 18, he deferred college for a year and moved to New York to pursue his passion for chess. He soon discovered poker at his favorite chess club - and was immediately hooked. For two years, he played poker relentlessly - 70 to 80 hours a week - and went home broke nine out of 10 nights. He made big strides in his game when he began to play at the Mayfair Club in New York - a legendary bridge and backgammon club, home to the greatest games players in the world. The camaraderie among the players created an invaluable learning environment. In the '80s, everyone was new to the game of no-limit hold'em, but players like Dan Harrington, Steve Zolotow, Jay Heimowitz, and Erik Seidel exchanged ideas, which helped to elevate their games.
Lederer moved to Las Vegas in 1993 and concentrated on cash games until 2002. While he enjoys all forms of poker, his favorite is big buy-in no-limit hold'em tournaments. He's made the money in 29 World Series of Poker tournaments, has reached 19 WSOP final tables, and won WSOP bracelets in the 2000 $5,000 Omaha eight-or-better event and the 2001 $5,000 deuce-to-seven draw event. He also won the 2002 World Poker Tour championship event at Foxwoods, is the 2003 PartyPoker Million champion, and has won three Five-Star World Poker Classic events.
Lederer is the president of Full Tilt Poker and is also a spokesman and moderator for several poker television programs
