I went to the golf course was really disappointed. My leg is getting worse and worse and desperately needs an operation but I don't have the time to do it. So please don't call me a welcher, Patrik, but I have to amend my golf challenge. The tees have to be 'where Doyle sez' just like our poker match. I'll have to start up 100 yards or less each hole because I just can't turn on the ball. I have to hit it with my arms but hopefully my putter will bring me in. I am sure Patrik's nerves are much steadier than mine so this will probably suit him.

Meh they should play the Callaway all par 3 course if he is hurting so bad.

Seat 4: Yours Truly
Seat 5: 'KhalynYohrk'
Seat 6: Mike (banned 2p2'er)
Seat 7: Phile 'OMGClayAiken' Galfond
Seat 8: 'Bones'
Seat 9: Assani Fisher

Vegas is fun.

We were all doing shots (save for 'KhalynYohrk') and having a blast just donking around playing some PLO w/ the occassional PLO/8 thrown in. Everyone was having a blast, for sure. :thumbup:

Raptor writes in his last entry that he had a piece of Phil in the 3/6 game. He also baught a piece of URindanger's action so he'll probably get it back.

You guys! Doyle doesnt get a real advantage in this ammendment. PA plays from the same spot Doyle does, except the tee is advanced 100 yards or less. Read again:

Sure he probably should have said "We'll have to start up 100 yards". The fact that he mentions that this will also benefit PA further indicates that theyre shooting from the same tee, since he couldnt possibly make this claim if he got 100 yards a hole. Also, why would Doyle say 100 yards or less if PA was going to stay back at the regular tee? Obviously he would expect to take the full 100 yards every hole in that case, and the "or less" wouldnt be necessary.

That pretty much says it all. Alledgedly.

David Benyamine imo

Benyamine you better not have already lost that $5 I shipped you.

QFT

I'm guessing Doyle will probably pick a spot in the middle of the fairway and drop. Probably measuring from the old man or ladies tees.

By definition, a successful prop-better is an angle shooter. Why would you make prop bets where you didn't feel that you had the edge or angle to win?

Why don't they just play mini golf.

Would suit Doyle more and be way more entertaining.

Possible. The 'money tree' comment sure sounds like it's referring to Farha though.

I cant help but wonder now, whos the best player in East Africa?

There no one.

Poker is illegal in East Africa, and was so since the onset of the civil war in Eritrea, because it was a belief there that the war started over a dispute between two tribe leaders as to what is best - Straight or 3 of a kind when you play with a stripped deck.

i hear that the high stakes players are protesting poker room policies and are petitioning that bellagio sets up a guest bed in bobby's room so that sammy can live there.
