My favorite celebratory injury:

Earned himself a sprained neck and a trip to the hospital.

Seeing how I'm laying here drugged up on Oxycontins at 4am, 10 days after my 5th Knee surgery to fix my ACL and meniscus (looks like it may of worked this time) this thread made me feel better but bad for the guy at the same time. Hopefully its just a strain but if hes tore it multiple times like I have you can tell when its tore. GL to Boosted.

Did the physical pain make it difficult to play/concentrate?

Sorry to hear about the knee man, hope it gets better soon.

What a clown. It's ridiculous enough when a pro athlete injures themself by celebrating. But a poker player? That's completely inappropriate and laughable.

Act like you've won a hand before.

This reminds me of the scene from revenge of the nerds two, where in gilbert informs us that he got his broken leg playing chess.

Excellent advice.

When I was in my early twenties I suffered a knee injury. I thought I could "tough it out" and delayed seeing a doctor, who when I finally went found that I had ligament damage. I caused more damage to my knee because I delayed going to the doctor. I now have almost constant pain and occasional days when I can barely walk because of it.

It was a very tricky move though.

Good Job on the FT, hope you can still make dinner!

This is a good lesson for young internet players who are playing live tourneys - stop jumping when you celebrate and just stick with hugging and touching your friends (always guys) as usual.
