I like her more already.
The show's going on right now and I was flipping by and noticed it (I promise I wasn't REALLY watching it)
She's putting poker in a really good light, talking about variations and how to host a good poker night. Her and Whoopi Goldberg were even talking about acceptable losses during a home game (saying gambling is okay in private at the same time)
woot.
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites. We've made a 'lurkers edition' of the poker forum available here on Holdem Poker Online, but we encourage all visitors to register and join in on the conversations on TexasHoldem-Poker.com

Most of it was just her making awesome snacks.

I just printed off the recipes for "Cheddar Poker Chips" and "Full House Tea Sandwiches" off of Martha's website.

You guys are killing me here.
Snacks for a poker game? That's easy. Pretzels only. Nothing that can possibly get the cards greasy. If the table wants a break for pizza, fine, we chip in and order.
Beverages? Coffee. Dessert? Well, maybe, if I can bribe my wife to make cookies, cake, or pie--I never rake the pot (it's a point of honor).
Don't like coffee and pretzels? Okay, bring your own coke or other soda.
Beer?
Please. I mean, by all means bring beer. But you'll be drinking alone.
I'm a low-overhead guy. I know a few people who rake the pot 2 bucks all night and put out a nice spread. The losers feel as though at least the winners are buying the food. My approach is no frills--because the player is paying for them. He wants frills? He can spend his money and bring his own. The fact is, though, that they spend 75 or 80 bucks and rake $55 or $60/hour. I know that's a fraction of the casino rake, but I'd rather play for nothing. The only cost of playing my game is my company--and that's expensive.

Do realize you are in danger of turning poker into a respectable activity??????
For god's sake, be careful.

Any poker player who eats "Cheddar Poker Chips" or "Full House Tea Sandwiches" can be Bluffed. Besides when he's up refilling his plate, just steal his chips (and I don't mean the cheddar ones).

I wouldnt play w/ Martha. She cheated in the stock market, there is no way she would put on a clean game.

I wouldn't turn down a chance to play with her - anyone with a billion dollars is a good poker buddy in my book.

but she was in prison-
I mean, look at how worm mastered his chops while in prison...
rumor has it that martha is really a bad ass card mechanic now; she finessed her routine big time after getting caught dealing a hanger to one of the correction officers, and they beat her ass big time. She also got caught slipping roofies into the oreo cookies of one the the local sharks in prison, the guys name was timmy KBG or teddy KGB or something like that. do a google search...

I did:
| Quote: | . . . I whipped some ass and took some names,” quips Stewart. “No I’m serious, this is no joke, America already knows I’m cold hearted bitch, and I was prepared to crack some skulls and cuff down some whores, and that’s exactly what I did.” In addition to the weight lifting, Stewart apparently had been in intense martial arts training in preparation for her, what she calls her, “five month beat down schedule.” The martial arts, weight lifting, personal trainer, kick boxing coach and The Carpenter’s greatest hits CD ultimately helped Martha prepare for her five month stint in the West Virginia prison. “I planned on owning the place from day one,” says Stewart.
Apparently, “the owning” is exactly what happened, and the evidence of Stewart’s domination is seen from the first entry into her prison journal.
Checked in late today, inmate 55170-054… a way too touchy correction officer try to feel me up while I was being searched. I think it was a test. I checked that bitch, by “accidentally” elbowing her in her cooter while I was getting up. That should teach that bitch to f*ck with this.
Today as I was being escorted to my cell, I was met with curious eyes from most of the prisoners, but one bitch that goes by the name 2×4 gave me a dirty look… I am going to call her target numero uno.
I also met my cellmate today. Shartruce was a woman of considerable stature, but she seems very timid. Oh, she definitely will be my bitch by the end of the week. I will be trading her around for cigarettes and hopefully some oregano for my famous rack of lamb with Italian couscous, it’s out of this world! If I do say so myself.
My plans for tomorrow include:
Morning: Since I cannot get a good look at anyone with these hideous jumpsuits… Shower time will be the perfect opportunity to size everyone up, find out who is packin’ muscle. Here I will single out my easy targets to intimidate and beat, just like my ex-husband.
Lunch: That bitch 2X4 is mine, dirty looks and poorly prepared “Cote de Beouf,” don’t fly with me… When she sits down to eat, I am going to sneak up behind her, pull out a chunk of her hair and force feed it to her, emasculating her in front of her posse.
Dinner: Prison Tattoos for all my property, and Pan-Roasted Milk-Fed Veal Rib Chop - Sautéed Escarole, Golden Raisins, Pine nuts, Caramelized Garlic, Preserved Lemon and Creamy Parmesan Polenta. Bon appetite!
According to Stewart, the stay in the West Virginia prison taught her valuable lessons in life. “I learned that wherever I go, I succeed. Whether it is in business, home making, fashion, or beating bitches down, I am the best at what I do. |

What's not to love about the woman? She's just makes me proud to be an American.
