Huge sent me this one. Antonio the Magician has his own website with words of wisdom such as:

"Don't let your first limo ride be in a hearse."

There's living and then there's living large. You don't have to have a ton of money to live well-though of course it doesn't hurt!-but you do need the essential attitude that says, I deserve the best. Recall the dying words of Lord John Maynard Keynes: "I wish I'd drunk more champagne."

Don't hate the player, hate the....oh nevermind, go ahead and hate the player this time.

Agreed... I don't usually watch poker on TV, so I'm not familiar with this guy. Is this clown supposed to be famous?

The 'clown' is one of the best players in the world. Someone so in-tune with poker ought to have maybe heard of him, regardless of TV time.

Doesn't matter, still never heard of him and based on what I have seen I stand by the 'clown' comment. Maybe he's won some tournaments but the website makes him sound like Trent Walker with some money in his pocket. Am I supposed to be impressed? Especially because of what his anonymous defenders have to say?

(And, considering that I've probably been playing cards longer than 99% of the people who read this blog or who leave anonymous comments herein, I'm actually proud of my lack of familiarity with the Travel Channel. KEEPING IT REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!! natch)

J - Haven't you considered the fact that the Travel Channel has cut the learning curve for some people?

Even if it has created bad habits for some (all-in poker), it has brought fish to the tables, allowed us to hear a dab of analysis, get a glimpse of the pros at work, and reminded us all how much we miss 'Eight is Enough'.
