Nice try. gwnc already told me that despite the accent and the attempts to laugh with the board Canadians at references to Canada-only commercials and chocolate bars and such, you are from Detroit, not Toronto. Next you will be changing your name to Esther and writing children's stories.

You live on the second floor? I think I've maybe seen you before?

Apparently (in places that have this), if Aces Full (of 10's or higher) gets beat, there is a set Jackpot that pays out. Where she was, it was a $50k jackpot and she beat Aces Full of Kings with 4 Kings (she had a pair of Ks, other player had pair of A's, board had A and 2 K's). Person who had the bad beat got 1/2 of jackpot, she got 1/4 of jackpot and the rest of the table split the other 1/4.

Anyone ever heard of this before?
Yes. I've been at the table for a big beat jackpot, although I only pocketed about $200. I didn't remember much of a delay, though we all were happy to give a complete stranger our driver's licenses so he could fill out the IRS forms, identity theft be damned.

They're common in both brick-and-mortar and online poker rooms. Once I lost a bad beat, then didn't get the jackpot when my kicker didn't play (which is really two bad beats when you think about it.)

At lower-limit tables, say the $1/2 at Oaks, you'll often hear players begging their dealer to deal them a jackpot.

One of my favorite FBisms just got its own Wikipedia entry. Fittingly, it contains two typos and a unwarranted provincial pride.

ETA: And one grammatical error.

ETAA: Anything important happen while I was away living life? Did Slave and Paigow finally unfuck each other?

ETCGA.

Not yet, but hope springs eternal. If we stay the course.

No, but RT and Balt pissed Thurgreed off with TMI (or maybe it was NotEnoughInformation) about their liason, which is ironic in a way (the Thurgreed complaining about TMI bit) and, in another way, fairly unremarkable (the Thurgreed getting easily annoyed bit). How is life? Tell it I say "hello".

Yes, tell life that Ironweak says "hello." That poor miserable bastard has been chained to his desk for years, toiling away in the billable hour mines, slaving for the man, and engaging in various other overwork cliches. His eyes are bloodshot and bulging from staring at the computer screen 18-20 hours a day, and his skin has taken on a sickly greenish pallor that comes from too much flourescent light. His neck has a permanent crick from cradling the phone between his ear and shoulder on endless conference calls with dozens of spiritless, robotic lawyers who prattle on as if their sole derivation of worth comes from sharing with the group their banal and uninspired observations. Yes, heavy is the life of Ironweak, and broken is his psyche. It is a miracle that any humor at all, even his black, twisted, and world-weary brand, manages to exist in the darkness that is his soul.

What is it with you two anyway? You're starting to sound like Fringey and Hank. (sorry Fringey)
Y'all have a spat or something?
