I like playing Rory in foosball. There's nothing better than scoring on a sweet pull shot and watching Rory look at the goal, look at me, and immediately start talking shit about beating me like it didn't happen.

It's almost as fun to play Trev though. Except when he beats me with a shot that takes 30 seconds to travel 4 inches.

Of course if you have no skill at the game you have to have skill at the trash talk. Any time any place I will take you down at foosball. Just the other day we were playing and I won, 11-3. It was down at one of the lobbies here in Massachusetts. I challenged you to a game and raped you-- you didn't even move your guys. You were in New York at the time. Probably running away from your imminent defeat.

Don't tell Adam, but I just told him I'd kill you both in billiards and my talent IS NOT HOME AND NEVER WAS.

I feel the same way about go. In some places it is called "hand talking".

You have some really interesting things to say, and we both rabidly love games. :D So I added you :)

Yo Rory.

I'm the brother of wxs and a friend of plenty of csh people. RIT Grad in IT. I see you have a passion for playing poker. I have been playing poker starting about 6-7 years ago in California card rooms and now play online quit extensively. I just read the bad beat you posted and think you and I might have a lot in common. You have Pokertracker yet? Just curious if you still play at PP? Drop me a line. We can swap bad beat storys and debate plays until the cows come home! email tcroc@cow.pasture.com for my personal addy (That one isn't checked nearly as frequently these days)
