LMFAO!!!! I haven't been watching the Celebrity Apprentice with Annie Duke so I have no idea what's going on in this clip, but it's so friggin hilarious I had to share it (sorry if it was posted already)! Some strong words for Annie Duke and then all poker players! Annie's comeback was pretty weak IMO, but hey...

well joan rivers is a huge bitch. anyway, yeah poker players have lower standards when it comes to ethics because their job is based on lying and deception. not quite trash but not quite respectable.

1) It sounded like Melissa requested a HORSE buyin inside the elevator at the clip's end.

2) The TV industry isn't free of blood on its hands either. The news is entertainment as opposed to informative, reality TV exploits people to fill a timeslot, and the gossip shows serve no use to the public whatsoever. Behind the scenes, you have an army of limitless interns who work like crazy to hopefully one day be able to make a dollar or two on a show.

Joan is confusing today's poker players with the gangsters that use to run Vegas. Durr does remind me a little of Bugsy Seigel.

BTW Joan, good luck this Sun on the Ed Sullivan show.

I have MANY MANY times....

Im not sure where this 2+2 online donkament stereotype started from but its completely untrue at least MOST of the time.

I play 2-5/5-10 NLH live all the time and MOST of the players I play with on a regular basis are regular professional types/and or business owners/operators.


Ive had great conversations at the poker tables, made friends there, and had about a billion laughs there.

An Oxford dining club it isnt...things can get bawdy and rough....

But then again, as far as companionship, is AEjones the 2nd coming of Salaman Rushdie?

Lol at online players deluding themselves into thinking all live games are full of scoundrels and degens...not simply regular folks who enjoy gambling whether it be at the poker tables or in the pit.

2+2 is such a lemmings paradise....

p.s.

Rivers has absolutely no idea of what she speaks, but unfortunately is a VERY VERY savvy/wealthy business lady. She bought up half of Bucks county(Pa.) in the 1960s and her holdings there are now worth 9 figures from what ive heard through the Jewish grapevine. She is far, far wealthier than any poker player that derives most of his or her income from poker.....

p.p.s

Nice Catch-22 reference....I wonder how many laying 1-2 on FTP would catch that?

Ah I ain't gonna watch the clip ... but Joan Rivers kinda looks like trash. I dunno ... how old is she? How much plastic surgery has she had? If you say 0 and you're really being honest and you're actually right than wow IMO but ok. But I dunno ... she was before my time really. (Sure she's rich .... not applicable I don't think.)


Anyway I have no idea what she said about poker and I don't care .... but I assume it has something to do with Annie Duke since she was also on the show. Maybe I'm wrong but either way I don't care. What the hell makes her an expert at poker? or statistics? or math in general? Basically I doubt she has any idea at all even close ...... even if somebody helped her slightly cheat ................ she still has no idea what she is talking about and therefore anybody with half a brain would basically discard what she has to say. Of course unfortunately and as much as it seems ridiculous until you actually have to deal with it most of America does not have half a brain. So she'll just spout off on rants with 0 support and not many people will care, right? Or even worse some people will believe her for basically no reason given that whatever she said is easily contradicted by actual fact.

I guess as long as people keep playing it is cool ... but we don't really need this .... so I kinda wish dumbass "celebrities" would keep their mouths shut ... and it's pretty obvious she has no idea what she is talking about. Not convinced she could do Algebra II ..... would love to see someone get her on live TV and get her to try to do it .... but ah she'll never face it. Just avoid what you don't understand despite poking at it ............ right?

hahah that is ****ing awesome, a-ok in my book, now we really get to see how full of **** these people are.

Stop working yourselves into a fuss, some old kunty windbag is talking some weird pseudo intellectual English hybrid making all sorts of rabid generalizations about subcultures she has no idea or personal experience with, I'm sure based on her stereotyping bull**** paradigm we do look like a bunch of ****ups. So what, if she had real intelligence and approached this topic with some clarity, we would appear perfectly normal, business as usual. Get the **** over it already, if you need some bull**** reality tv soap opera to confirm your self worth, then you are complete **** ups with no last names.

I laughed because when Rivers said poker players are trash Annie Duke sorta looked thoughtful for a minute like she was thinking to herself,


"Hey, I am kinda trashy..."

English hybrid? I hope you're talking about English as a language, rather than a nationality. (She's an American Jew. Nothing to do with us, thank god.)

I read her autobiography years ago and she came across as a born snob and shallow as hell. Very self-obsessed and manipulative too, as most showbiz types are.

She can be funny tho. The joke she made after her Husband's suicide was comedy gold:

She was having dinner with her Daughter in a very expensive restaurant not long after her husband died. She picked up the menu and said to her Daughter, "If your Father was still alive, he'd kill himself all over again if he saw these prices".

Class.
