Ok, so, Radio Maria???

top-notch

the tapas bar has now hired away the beer purchaser from the Blind Pig
--excellent selection of beers if one is into that
my roommate just came back from there a few hours ago stumbling drunk

alas, I spend most my time at Jupiter's, Esquire, and Jillian's shooting 8-ball

Jupiter's does thin crust pizza right--their sausage is quite good, but counts as two toppings instead of just one
I like that they have so many toppings I can eat there a few times per week and have a new creation every time
1/2 price on Tuesday nights!

Esquire features the normal bar fare of food...nothing too exciting...most people are enraptured by their polish sausage sandwich which they splice down the middle

Jillian's has a decent quesadilla and a really good chocolate cake

all of these things lead to me being chubby

I like it and think one would be insane to forego those foods

unfortunately, I do not share gobbo's love of Outback. Actually, I like outback, but the local outback is run by someone I know from numerous undergrad courses. We were paired student observers for a middle school BD/LD class...fun times. We kind of had a falling out when I was drinking buddies with one of his roommates and was somewhat involved with a trashing of his apartment (all fixable) during my drunken manwhore days.

No, I know it's awesome. It's my favorite restaurant in CU. I want to go!

Right, but I will go back to the main issue...

I downloaded Aussie Millions 1-2 months ago and saw all episodes (Just do a search and you can download and look at them).

I suck at poker, so I have nothing to say about Frickes plays.

For me it is quite obvious why Lederer respond like he did in the mail to his colleague. It have nothing at all to do with Frickes weight. The main reason was Frickes arrogance and pure insults of his poker colleagues in the interviews.

When Fricke write to the same colleagues - "the famous poker pros" who have started FTP - and ask for sponsorship, it is in a way bizarre.

First you insult them, then you beg for money!

But this (is it hate or what?) is not enough.

Then you have to out Lederer . And now you beg for sympathy among friends at 2+2.

LOL, nice drama

Fricke, I admire your lack of self awareness but I can't give you any sympathy. And it does not matter if you are the best player ever lived, I would not sponsor you before you start to show some class.

Couple of factoids

1. Online players criticize live pros.
2. Some do it more vocally than others.
3. Most good poker players think they're great.

gobbo probably made a mistake being so outspoken about some live pros being terrible. It's just a bad idea to tap the glass in any way.

Do you not understand that I don't care if they don't want to sponsor me, but it's the lack of professionalism that's such a problem in this situation? I even said... I expected not to get sponsored, but I might as well try. It's the simple fact that an email like this could get sent to me despite its obvious confidentiality.

dids stop taking potshots whenever you can at gobbo just because you are now no longer as fat or fatter than most of the people on 2+2. this is getting ridiculous. you go out of your way to do that and mask it by just saying you're trying to help. you're just trying to boost your own ego.

it took you until 30+ to control your out of control eating habits. don't get all holier than thou the minute you start losing some weight.

with that said, gobbo lose some mother [censored] weight.

How the [censored] am I boosting my own ego by pointing out that somebody most of the forum considers untouchable is not in healthy shape and that it's stupid for somebody else to wish to switch places with him? I totally thought people were going to love me for my post.

Probably because you troll gobbo all the [censored] time about his weight and no matter how you package it the subtext is "I've lost all this weight and therefore I'm better than you." Maybe you aren't doing it to boost your own ego, strictly speaking, but it's just another instance of how you're one of the most (if not THE most) judgmental posters on 2+2.

And the reason for what you call "most of the forum consider[ing] gobbo untouchable" (which seems to be another pet issue of yours; why do you even [censored] care?) is because he's a nice guy and a good guy and a good friend and good strategy poster, and people try to troll him over his weight under the guise of "helping" him, or because his mom posts here. And it's because they can't think of anything else, and those of us who know him see their bull [censored] for what it is.

Man, I'm trying to be nice here, but nation's right, you look for any excuse to crack on gobbo.

This is your best post ever.

I wish every post in this thread that had anything to do with Gobbo's weight would disappear so we could get back to waiting for the inevitably amusing reply from Mr Lederer. I also think it might be funny to pass this on to Star's support, as they tend to have a pretty good sense of humor and would probably compose a suitably hilarious response given that it's their main competitor.
