BoostedJ aka Justin Smith at Bellagio Cup - INJURED - Page 6 - Poker News

He taunted in a very friendly way Alex Gomez's friends who probably didn't know what Mike was saying, they spoke Portuguese but it was obvious to all that it was all in good fun.

You can be certain that every single one of them did understand.

It's not that hard to learn English, come on.

Sorry to hear the bad news Justin. Hope you get better soon.

Also, screw everyone else givin ya **** for the celebration. If I had Mike in my corner going nuts and I was in the spot you were I would have done the same. You were on a big stage with alot on the line and hittin that river was a huge win.

Hang in there man.

The celebration has little to do with it, really. It could have, and most probably would have, happened if he'd been hurrying back from a break, walking up or down stairs, or getting out of his car. Or into it, for that matter.

I don't think I understand the "hide your happiness because someone else will feel badly at your success" attitude. Someplace between the robotic gathering of the chips and RainKhanification, is a place we get to be human and have that be okay.

Praying for that knee thing for JB, and hoping Matesow comes a postin' - he's been a personal hero of mine for many years.

well my barometer for the "is it a sport or not" debate has been - can you be injured playing it - which leaves off golf, bowling, and other activities commonly referred to as "sports".
but this might now cause poker to finally be a "sport", since you can indeed get injured during the course of play.

oh and...

When i was playing chess in high school some kid was sitting on his chair awkwardly and when he jerked forward too fast to make a move he pulled a muscle in his groin.

yeah some guy in my high school math team blew out his knee getting on the bus to go to a competition. he was out for the rest of the season, had to wear a huge brace for months afterward.
