This thread is a feel good story for Ryan Dempster.

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.

Excessive celebration penalty

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.

Congrats Justin! Take care of the knee, I wish I could go back 15 years and take care of mine.

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.

That could be worse than Martin Grammatica's torn ACL celebrating a useless field goal. LOL
