You don´t use that in english too? I thought thats where we stole it.
In danish, it´s something you say after getting evidence, a decision you just made is bad.
Like calling a push on the river, and getting shown the nuts.

No back in the day on UB on the Wadello account long before Casino Royale, he was also going "ups" constantly.

where do you idiots come from? Howard is richer than about 99% of the people he plays with excluding Guy and Ivey and a few more, he part-owns FTP, he's just playing with pocket money.

I'm assuming they have equal shares of FTP and Ivey has made more off poker than HL, it might be close or miles apart but you get what I was saying.

A lot of the time it's after he makes a bad call but wins, pretty sure it's just how he spells oops.

so?

its still a smart move for him to leave b/c in the end he would just get owned and ppl would hate him even more

also, i dont think any1 knows how much money howard of PI have so you should stop commenting on it as if you are their CPA

Howard co-owns tiltware or whatever

I'm guessing he has a bigger piece than Ivey and I'd assume he's the richest FullTilt Pro.

UPS means the same thing as ship it basically. Since UPS is a service that ships things, instead of saying ship it he's just saying UPS.

No.
That is definitely wrong. it means either he or the opponent, was caught with the hand in the cookie jar.

Is he going to be an easy mark for the regs at these limits? Sallywoo, RobLP and all the other sit-outers should jump at the chance to beat up on some big bet player.
