Hmm…when I read this I was like, Ooh oo! Pick me, pick me! For whatever reason, they’re looking for REAL poker players.

So who would I like to see featured? This is pretty easy…they’re looking for 4-6 female poker players who have done well in tournaments.

Jennifer Harman comes to mind (who I have a total girl crush on).

Annie Duke is a duh.

Kathy Liebert. I like her.

Mimi Tran. I kinda like her too.

So that’s four. Surely, the producers of this documentary can find two more poker players who are better than Jennifer Tilly. I CAN’T STAND HER. She sucks sweaty raccoon balls. Seriously, she’s not a very good poker player, and if you think you have to be a good poker player to win a tournament, then go check out Jamie Gold who won the WSOP two years ago…who was catching cards like he must have had something over on God.

So those are my recommendations. Just not Jennifer Tilly. I’d rather poke my eye with a sharp stick than see her interviewed about poker.

At some point, I told my boss I play poker. At some point later, my boss decides that if I can play poker, then HE can play poker. So he opens up an account on MSN and starts playing poker.

He starts off by playing with fake money. You know, the kind that you can just keep on getting more of. I suppose by saying “he starts” indicates he’s moved on, progressed, but he’s still playing with fake money. I suppose that’s okay…it’s only been four months.

Obviously, him playing poker (even with fake money) isn’t my problem. It’s the fact that he has to tell me about his playing (with fake money) for three to four hours a week. I am not exaggerating. Um, poker players out there, do you want to LISTEN to a newbie talk about their playing poker with fake money, whether for five minutes or five hours? Raise your hand if you want to volunteer for this. Anyone? Buuuueeller? Buuuueller?

So for three to four hours a week I’m getting paid to listen to a newbie talk about playing poker WITH FAKE MONEY. To make me writhe in pain just a little more, he insists on arguing with me when I tell him about odds and such. Ahh…nothing like being told you’re WRONG by someone who’s never read or studied poker.

I suppose this is my burden to bear, but I’ll definitely keep my poker playing self under wraps.

Has this happened to anyone else? You turn someone on to poker, and next thing you know you wish you could take those words back because they WON’T SHUT UP.

Let’s commiserate.
