Hey Crushers! MAKE $$$$$$ THIS EASY WAY!

Hiya Crushers! Thaw your feet out here by the fire and listen to some sweet things from your old guru. Hardly a handful of us haven't been shoveling in the snowing for a while now, huh?

Im gonna start with a short little story that I'm still laughing over. I heard it on the phone just minutes ago from a friend who swears it's true. But it seems too sweet to me.

One of our other friends who is a poker pro happens to be a woman. A woman who makes us shiver in our boots to have to play against. I'll change her name to Julie here to protect the guilty.

Seems Julie was becoming concerned about disturbing her husband's sleep when she came in from playing poker at night.

So one night she decided to let the guy rest. She sneaked quietly in and closed the front door real gently. Then she took off her shoes and undressed completely, right there in the living room. She tippy-toed into their bedroom with nothing but her purse hanging from her wrist.

She went to all that trouble, but it didn't work. Her husband turned over, raised up in bed, snapped on the light, and looking at her declared, "Oh, no, Julie! Did you lose it ALL?"

Funny to me, whether true or not. Poker players can tell them almost as big as fishermen.

Speaking of my friends, I'll be mentioning a well-known name in the world of the game from time to time. Just to get you familiar with some of the people you might be playing against someday. OR......and get this!......you might be playing against right now! Online.

We took a survey a few weeks back and the results showed that a third of poker professionals play online as well as at the brick and mortar places. Which I interpret as meaning that more like TWO-thirds do. I will freely admit that I love to play in the comfort of my own home. Where I don't even have to mind my manners!

We play at the same sites you do, usually under corny nicknames, but not to worry. As many people who play, worldwide, from their computers, we are like very few needles in a field of haystacks. Why, you might even have beaten ME! And more than once! But I wouldn't keep doing it if I weren't finding it profitable. I wonder how many of my cohorts are as honest as I am about reporting their earnings to the Income Tax people? Chuckle, chuckle.

And I wonder how many of you knew YOU could become a pro without ever leaving home! But I sure would advise you to stick to the very low limit tables and keep extremely good records until you have been winning pretty CONSISTENTLY for awhile. Get yourself a great big notebook and keep track of every dime. Every penny. That notebook will tell you when it is time to move on up! Keep a seperate notebook for taking notes as you study and learn the game. We all keep learning!

I will just briefly toss out the name of Annie Duke to you this evening. You can play against her, usually using her own name, almost anytime. She is also affilliated with one of the internet sites, but I'm not sure it would be fair for me to print that site's name here. One of you, however, who knows or finds out, could post it right here. Nothing wrong with that.

Annie makes us do some shivering in our boots. And she came up through the ranks fast! Learned to play from her brother and now she's whipping his butt quite regularly. She manages to make big money and raise a family too!

Well, so as not to belie my title this week, I'd better mention an idea that crossed my mind. I noticed, while over at big sister's, Casino-Crush, that it's very, very hard to get to the top ten where the money is in the Games Points contest. So I got to thinking.

Now you know, you can access the very same games from this Poker-Crush site here, and using the very same nickname. That is, if you are a member here. And for the sake of our unregistered guests, I'll remind you that registration is free. And as soon as you are registered, you are a full-fledged member, a real CRUSHER. No spam comes from either Crush site to your email, either.

Now my idea is this: (and it will be up to YOU to convince Mr. Geno and DrCrush by posting right here in my corner the request for them to do it); (By golly, I'm gonna get some posts one way or the other!) My idea is that it could be those who come in at places #11 - #25 who would be eligible for a couple of prizes as well. Cash prizes. You would have to exchange PC points for them and therefore wouldn't even lose any of your CC points! Besides, we all should know that PC points are gonna be as valuable as CC points as soon as Mr. Geno gives the word!

So you all should get a head start collecting them by getting in on the ground floor here NOW while the competition is not yet that great!

That would make winning cash prizes for the Games Contest MUCH EASIER! But remember. You, NOT I, will have to be the ones to convince Geno to do this, by posting a request to him right here. And who will BE THE ONE brave enough to bring the idea to his attention?

DrCrush, I'll bet, would be willing to award the first few posts here some PC points to start your stack growing!

And next week, I'll tell you about another idea I had to make those stacks of PC points grow real fast!

I'll see you here next week with that idea AND A LOT MORE. I'm getting warmed up to this PokerGuru position now. I love the idea of helping you out in lots of different ways. JUST WAIT TIL I GET HOT!

Until then, I'm always proud to be your

PokerGuru

Dear Guru of ours ~

Thanks for all the tips in your articles! I, too, have a feeling that Poker=Crush is about to take off like a rocket out of ____!!!

As we all are the first members at this time, I agree that we should get a head start on building up our PC points before a whole mob of competitors get here!

Thanks again. We DO APPRECIATE YOU, altho I guess we should tell you so once in awhile! lol

Dear friend notLOL ~

It is definitely MY pleasure and my honor anytime I can say anything that might be of some kind of help to you.

On the other side of the coin -- you help me out by always giving me something interesting to read AND THINK ABOUT in your posts.

You are a most interesting person. Complex. And obviously intelligent.

Sooooo -- the thanks travel both ways!

Dear notLOL ~

What a character you are!!!

Do you always go immediately from crying with gentle appreciation to yelling with assertive demand "HEY! YOU! HOW ABOUT SOME (fill in the blank) OVER HERE?!"

You crack me up and often make me laugh when, believe it or not, I am very prone to depression.

And incidently, I'm sure Geno knows you well enough to know that it was really truly a polite request and not a demand. But I just couldn't resist the temptation to make you read your own words again. And........you cannot stop yourself from doing just that! LMAO

Again, thank you for the laughs, my friend. Almost as much as I thank you for the tears.

well i reread it and reread it and reread it and still feel the same....i really didnt mean it to be a demand of rudeness....though just like serious wishful hoping the words are seen sooooon.

yes my dear royalblush, i guess i may be sensibly unsensible upruptly remembering, or remembering i didnt remember after the rememberance was already a rememberance....did i tell you i dont mean to be so babble confusing, anywho....i read it and can see where i may have walked away from my computer while typing that post and came back and was a lil frazzled. for sure i can see the woo woooo wow slowdown....all the whiles i was really slow....just looked like i shouldve done a preview...eh?
this post had many backspacing episodes, and im not going to preview before hitting submit ....i have to walk the dog......its a good thing to laugh and crying cleanses.... Arrow Left1

is that a word?

Cleanses - yes, absolutely a word.

Now, as for the Guru's suggestion, or rather his suggestion that we make a suggestion, may I suggest that we do what he suggested we suggest!

Great idea!

No secret that I really like playing the games here and over there too, and I , ahem, don't plan to have any trouble making the top 10, but it still sounds like a great idea to me (to me and my ever-so-humble self!)

Thanks for bringing it up, PokerGuru, and to the rest of us for seconding, thirding, fourthing, etceteraing the idea!

(and by the way...)

etceteraing - no, absolutely not a word!

But that's ok too.

Dear Crusher sunspun,

I do believe you were really spun directly from the sun with that bright and open-minded, easy-going attitude of yours!

Just wanted to let you know......that you and I seem to be on the same page in our thinking......which must be a good thing since I get so much enjoyment reading your thoughtful posts.

Incidently, I agree with all you set forth in this post. Next page??????

LOL, my friend,

Your PokerGuru
