Vasectomy: $400. Speechless look on her face: priceless.
Originally Posted: Tue, 6 Feb 14:24 PST

I'll try to sum up a funny story that happened a few years ago:

I got a vasectomy.

I met a girl soon afterwards. She was nice and attractive but with a selfish streak that raised a big red flag. She was 32 at the time and I could practically HEAR her biological clock ticking. Regardless, she was a good lay, easy on the eyes, and reasonably good company.

I did NOT tell her about my vasectomy and I always used a condom with her to protect against STDs. She assumed, obviously, that the condom was only used for birth control. Silly girl.

We date for a few months. I never made any move towards commitment but she brought it up ocassionally. For me, this was a casual but pleasant relationship. For her - as I was to find out - it was part of life-changing series of events that she was planning very carefully.

Four months into dating, I get the "I'm pregnant" talk. She's going on and on about how the condom must have broke and now we really need to think about getting married "for the baby". She's positively giddy. She has a baby in her and she thinks she's gonna have a good meal ticket (me) to go along with her new 7lb annuity.

At this point, I'm just as giddy. I get to pull the reverse "oops" on her. I figured that she slept with some bad boy and got knocked up. Good thing I was using condoms! Better still that I have a serious mistrust of women who can't think beyond their own uteri.

So I wait a couple of days to "think about all this." I meet her again. I say I don't want kids and that she should have an abortion. I know where this is going and sure enough it goes there. She goes completely batshit insane on me. There were the usual insults about my manhood. There were threats of legal action. It was all very ugly and I was loving every minute of it.

Well, I let her stew for a few days. She leaves me nasty messages on my phone. She sends awful emails. I'm laughing hysterically.

It was time to drop the hammer. While she was stewing I was busy. First I get a notarized copy from the urologist who performed the vasectomy. Next I get a notarized copy of the TWO test results indicating a "negative test result for sperm" to show I'm sterile and shooting blanks. Finally, I get a letter from a shark attorney stating he has seen the other documents and is prepared to litigate against this woman if she continues to communicate with me in such an unpleasant manner. Also, the letter states that we will insist on DNA testing to show that the baby is not mine. I'm ready.

I meet with this woman at her place. I bring flowers and a small bit of jewelry to show I am willing to reconcile and assume my responsibilities as a new father. I also have stuck in my pocket the documents I have prepared.

She's all giddy again. Her plan is going perfectly - or so she thinks. We talk about our future. We have some pretty good sex. Then, as I am about to walk out the door, I ask her the $64,000 question. "Are you sure that this baby is mine?"

Well, she goes batshit insane again. Hell, she ought to. Her plan could completely unravel if there is ANY question about my paternity. Oh, she's really screaming now. How dare I question her morals. Do I think she's a slut. I'm just trying to weasel out of my responsibilities... blah, blah, blah, yadda, yadda, yadda.

I'm not really mad. I'm kind of embarrassed for her. But since she won't shut up and the neighbors can hear all of this, I ask her to step back inside and sit down. She sits on the sofa and calms down a bit. She is glaring at me with all the moral self-righteousness that only a woman can muster up. She thinks she has me trapped. She is 100% convinced her plan has worked. Oh, the tangled web of lies and deceit she has wrought around herself and I am about to hack through them with a few pieces of paper.

I reach into my pocket slowly. I extract the three pieces of paper and unfold them slowly and deliberately.

I tell her simply, "You're screwed".

Her look doesn't change. There is no way she can fathom what I have prepared.

I continue. "I am sterile"

Her look changes just a bit. Something is beginning to sink in. Naturally, she reverts to women's logic. "You're full of shit. You're trapped and you know it."

I hold up the letter and the test results. "Three months before we met, I had a vasectomy. Here is a notarized letter from him stating what I had done. Here are two test results showing that I tested negative for the presence of sperm. Blanks. I am shooting blanks. That baby inside you is simply not mine."

This woman is not to be swayed by logic and clear documentation. "Bullshit, those are fakes."

I was ready for that. "No, they are real. This last piece of paper is from my attorney. It's a simple letter to you that states if you pursue any kind of legal action against me for child support that I will insist on a DNA test to prove paternity, that is, to prove that your baby is not mine."

I give the woman all the documents. She reads them slowly, deliberately. With each passing second she can feel in her soul that she has made a very bad mistake. With denial swept away, she started to cry. It's a small cry at first. Then it becomes deeper and more painful. By the time she gets to the letter from the lawyer she is sobbing.

I had no sympathy for her. I turned and walked out the door. Even after I closed the door I could still hear her sobbing.

Epilogue -

I never heard directly from this woman again. I did hear through my friends that she did indeed have the baby. I also heard that the real father was some guy in a band she had met. I assumed that after 30, women stopped going after musicians, bikers, criminals, and thugs. Silly me for thinking the best of American women.

The Moral of the Story -

Get a vasectomy but keep it a secret.

An all-time record was established at the 2006 World Series of Poker when an impressive 8,773 players registered to compete in the $10,000 buy-in Texas hold ?em event. At the end of four days of intensive play, the field had been cut to nine remaining players who made it to the final table and would vie for the WSOP Championship. Who were these players? They were not the high profile players that were expected to be at that final table. In fact, four time bracelet winner Allen Cunningham of Las Vegas was probably the most recognizable face.
The eventual winner was a comparative neophyte, Jaime Gold, a former theatrical agent from Malibu, California. What happened to the battle-hardened old pros, the Doyle Brunson?s, David Negreanu, Greg Raymer, Huck Seed and Joseph Hachem among so many others? None of them even came close to the final table this year.
Obviously, the face of tournament play is changing. At one time internet poker players and inexperienced face-to-face tournament players tended to become reckless and were quickly eliminated, not fully understanding the strategies and disciplines involved in so-called ?deep stack poker,? which in effect means playing in a tournament that involves a lot of chips.
It now seems obvious that a new breed of newcomer to the world of tournament poker is emerging to challenge the seasoned professionals. Nolan Dalla, World Series of Poker Media Director, who co-authored a biography of the late and legendary poker star Stu Unger, is of the opinion that these new competitors with surprisingly high skill levels and sophistication of play are the result of professional poker ?wannabes? taking full advantage of the countless poker teaching tools available in books, on the internet and various tutorials on DVD that can be purchased by mail. Besides, players can hone their skills playing for small stakes, or even with play money at the numerous online poker sites, gradually improving their skills without the pressures encountered in big-time poker tournaments.
If any further proof is needed that the playing level of these newcomers is strong, and that they have the know-how to compete at the highest rung of the tournament poker ladder, dealing with the pressures and exhibiting the discipline needed to win at ?deep stack? play, take note of what the chip amounts were per player on the final table?s next to last day.
? Seat #1 ? Richard Lee $11,820,000

I could fairly be identified as a good kid when I was in middle school/high school. I didnt cause much trouble - well, except for driving my mom crazy from time to time, but publicly speaking, folks would describe me as a good kid.
I liked to read a lot when I was a kid. I dont even remember favorite books per se, save a very few, but I was ALWAYS reading. Im a definite believer that one cannot write if one hasnt read and absorbed something of style in the written word. Grammar lessons will only take you so far. Mandatory, grudgingly performed writing assignments from ones elementary teachers will not take you a great deal farther. Reading, I am convinced, is what helps develop a writing voice, even more so that extensive writing for the sake of writing.
I remember posting recently about my downfall of not faithfully keeping up with the news. Well, I never was much of a news follower, but back in my teenage years, I did read the human interest story section. I devoured the pop-psychology wisdom of Ann Landers. I enjoyed the satire of Dave Barry. I remember thinking to myself, what a neat way that would be to earn a living - writing funny, sort of silly, slightly sarcastic stuff!
Ive never made a living at writing funny stuff, but I did have a certain reputation among my friends for a sarcastic quill. One that only very thinly disguised poking fun at my teachers and less-than-friends. I was (well, okay, AM!) an applause junkie. The other kids thought my stories were hilarious! They were a sophomoric version of Dave Barry.  The accolades and appreciative smirks and giggles were a significant part of what prodded me to practice my writing and the enjoyment that it gave me.

It has been a wonderful thing to discover that I can now, sometimes, put my gift for writing to the use of Gods purposes. Before starting this blog, I used to moderate an email-based discussion group on the weekly lectionary passages. Ive written for our parish newsletter, and recently for our diocesan newsletter. The diocesan newsletter project is a fairly new one, but one that I believe has great potential to build people up, and celebrate lay ministry. I hope it keeps its early momentum and grows into a well-followed feature. One often never knows what seeds bear fruit. But sometimes you DO hear about it, and thats when the properly directed applause junkie tendencies of my individual expression of (prideful) original sin gets the privilege of being transformed into something for good; to reflect the joy back to God as if to smile in jointly experienced satisfaction and pleasure at the recognition of a job well-done.
(However, todays post is NOT going to be one of those pure and spiritual endeavors. It is unapologetically somewhere on the sarcasm end of the writing project continuum, somewhat hoping to simply give you a wry chuckle for today, but without the regrettable personal put-downs of my adolescent genre. In that spirit, read on if youre still motivated to care! ha ha!)

Im not really all that old, but I can remember when you called up a business and you got a customer service representative of some type on the phone. This person might be really helpful, or innocently thick, or rude and insolent, but in any event, you got a human being with real listening ears, and real feelings to whom you could ask your question and have your call
One day though, a profit-minded manager began searching for ways to improve his phone customer service. The creative number cruncher, a colleague of the telecommunications incarnation of Satan himself, realized you could save a ton of human resource dollars if there were a way to get a machine to be that initial call screener. The Automated Attendant was thus born. In my business, pharmacy, where we call the Big Insurance Companies frequently, we learned quickly which prompts to press to get directed the way we needed. We learned that hitting zero always got you to the lowly receptionist. Life was fine. We adapted.
Soon, the creative number cruncher began doing statistical analysis on the phone queue. He learned that many people were bypassing his marvelous invention and simply hitting zero anytime they called. This introduced easier to understand menu options. And the ubiquitous, Please listen carefully to our menu selections as options have changed. But this was still in the days of customer service! Hitting zero still worked. Of course, hitting zero could be a crapshoot. You might have a lengthy hold time to get your representative who was just dying to take your call, as the automated droning voice intoned approximately every 5 minutes. Thus began the hands-free mute trick, where you put the phone on hands-free, went about your business, and played their little game. Sometimes the automated voice could give you the info you needed, other times you got to the right person quicker than pressing zero. And sometimes you still got someone who had no idea how to help you. No matter. Life was still mostly fine. We adapted.
This pressing zero business was really trying the patience of the boy wonder who created the Automated Attendant though. In some businesses the polite little voice would gently, but firmly tell you that is not a valid selection, please listen to the following options and select on your touch tone key pad. And with this, we learned to cuss in touch tone. Never cussed in touch tone language? Thats simply when you rapidly hit random buttons, with plenty of asterisks and poundI think those might translate to the F word for touch tone computers! The automated voice attendant would seemingly grow weary of such thankless, gauche, and incorrect responses to her patient explanations, and put you in the endless holding queue for the single human phone answerer who was employed by the Big Company, and boy, thatll show you! (bwuh-ha-ha-ha!!!) But not too big of a matter. We still had hands-free. Our patients could now hear the voice droning on speaker phone how important our call was to the Big Company. They could empathize with our pain. We could still get some work done, and merely sprint to the phone before the customer service rep hung up after our 20 minute hold time. We adapted.
Never satisfied though, the greedy accounting guy, the creative computer/telecom programming geek, and the well-meaning but clueless customer service guru then put their heads together and came up with the next level of Automated Customer Service. AVR! Automated Voice Response! Now this, surely, will encourage our clients to use the wonders of technology, right? (as if we have a choice! grumble!) No more hitting numbers on your touchtone keypad. No siree! The best of both worlds! Conversation, but with a piece of technology that doesnt require benefits or salary. Win-win. Well, almost. Because now, you have to cuss in your language of origin, and only maybe have a chance of getting a weary over-worked lonely customer service representative. And hands-free? Forget it. You have to ATTEND to the automated attendant, hang on her every word, answer in an accent that shell understand, or shell perkily apologize (or is that tauntingly?) I think you said transfer me to timbuktu Is that correct, please say yes or no. You of course, answer no, and she patiently repeats her questions not on the clock after all, nor does she have a mom with a sick child in her waiting room. So you drop every other important and unimportant task and give your full, caring attention to this machine.
Ive not yet adapted to this.
Hands-free? Forget it. I forgot to mention that if theres background noise, she thinks you really DID mean for her to transfer you to her Timbuktu regional office.
Nope, Ive definitely not adapted to this. Ticks me off afresh everytime I must endure one of those calls.
The irony, of course, is that we used to have people whose job it was to give US their full attention. Now I must drop everything to give my full attention to a robot. Weve come full circle in completely losing our collective way. Drives me CRAZY!!!
Okay enough ranting for tonight. Be blessed, and be sane. (Centering Prayer, Karla.

How many chips does each player start with?
As a rule of thumb the starting amount of poker chips per player should be 40-80 chips. Starting with this many chips gives each player enough of each of the starting chip colors.
However, I have played in many tournaments were everyone starts with 20 chips and this works. The one problem with having just 20 chips is that you dont get enough of the smallest denomination chips and at some point everyone has to ask another player for change with a larger denomination chip.

My personal opinion (for whatever it is worth) is starting with about 40-50 chips. This give everyone a stack of the smallest denomination and a stack of the next denomination and then the rest of the chips are made up of what is needed to get to the dollar amount that everyone starts with.
Example: everyone starts with $5000 and the blinds start at $25/$50.
Everyone gets 45 chips; (20) $25 chips, (20) $100 chips and (5) $500 chips. In smaller tournaments, everyone could get 80 chips to start; (40) $25 chips and (40) $100 chips.

    Last night I was playing a 90 player Sit n Go on Full Tilt. I had gotten to the final table and had a pretty average stack. After a couple of very small stacks had been eliminated, I noticed pretty much all the other players seemed to be playing very tight. I watched some position raises that caused the blinds to fold and I noticed that no one was going in from early position much at all. This is typical of a final table where most of the participants have not been there much before.
The key to actually winning Sit n Gos or to at least doing well once you get to the final table is simply aggression. Most players do not want to look foolish or jeopardize their chip stack with anything less than a premium hand. This is the total opposite of the approach you need to take. If you sit around waiting for premium cards, especially when the blinds are high, you probably will not have enough chips to make a difference once you get them.
At this final table, the blinds were high. $4000-$2000 with $300 ante when there were about 7 players left. Most of the chip stacks were anywhere from $15,000- about $60,000. None of these are a comfortable stack with the blinds that high. Consequently, the players were tightening up, not wanting to raise or call a raise of $8,000 or $12,000. Noticing this, I took advantage.
I should point out, that my chip stack was nearly decimated and I was down to aprox. $7500 in chips after losing an all-in confrontation where I raised from the button with A-3 and was called by the Big Blind who happened to have A-J.  If this is the thing you worry about at a final table, then you are going to have problems. If I am in late position at a short-handed table with A-3 and I get beaten by A-J then so be it. Most of the time my raise would have resulted in a fold anyway.
So, right after nearly being put out, I was in 7th place with $7500. I was dealt K-8 off suit. Good enough for me, all-in. Everyone folds and I nearly double my chip stack by picking up the blinds and antes. You can probably see where this is going. Having identified the table to be tight, I was determined to take advantage. Anytime I was dealt a face card, an ace, or connectors, I went all-in. Notice, I didnt fool around with calling to see the flop or a raise; I went all-in.
With $14,000 in chips, I had enough to hurt any chip stack who called me, so I was able to pick up the blinds more often than not. When I had built up my chip stack, I went from last place to 2nd place with little or no confrontations. At this point, I tried to get into every hand if I could. If I hit ANY PIECE of the flop, I would bet it post flop. By doing this, anyone who was calling or limping into a pot had to fold if they did not hit the flop themselves. If I was called by an all-in, as I was several times, I simply folded the hand (unless I had high or middle pair) and resumed again the very next hand.
Remember also, many players will play face cards only in these situations. By playing pretty much anything, if I hit middle pair on the flop, I could usually be pretty sure I had the best hand if there were no face cards or Aces on the board. By doing this, I put out 3 players who had much better starting hands than I did, but did not hit the flop. Any two cards can win in these cases, and if you pair up on the flop, you will be good most of the time against a single opponent. Also, if you are raising to something like 3x the Big Blind, in this case, $12,000, the players with$20,000-$50,000 chip stacks dont want to risk 1/2-1/4 of their stack unless they have good cards. That is the price they pay for being conservative.
To make a long story short, once I had eliminated everyone else and was down to heads up, I raised every hand and played every hand. My opponent sat waiting for cards. I ended up putting him out with 5-4 off suit when my 5s hit on the Flop and his A-Q did not pair up. At that point, I had about $200,000+ and he was down to $30,000 so I could afford to play loose hoping to hit a flop and put him out, which is exactly what happened.
You will hear many players say that heads-up and final tables are all luck. I agree, but it is up to you to MAKE YOUR OWN LUCK. By playing aggressively and seeing a lot of flops, you will be in position to win hands that you never would have played early in the tournament. If you get out-kickered or something in a heads up battle and are put out, at least you went out fighting rather than just sitting passively waiting to be blinded off. Many times you will end up putting yourself in position to win, however, by using this approach as I did in this Full Tilt Sit n Go. Luck is for tight players. If you play aggressive enough against these tight players, you dont need luck.

Duplicate poker is an online poker gaming site. It is same as well as different same because it has all the popular poker game options like Omaha, Holdem, stud poker, Draw Poker etc and different because here you play against people sitting at other table holding the same card as yours.

In duplicate poker your opponent is the person who is on the other table and not the player of your left or right side of the same table.

In No limit Texas Holdem Poker there are usually two forced bets known as the Blinds and the Ante. Ante bets are generally seen in the tournament games in which each player require placing a particular amount as bet before the starting of the game. It is never counted towards any of the future wager.
 
According to the Texas Holdem Poker rules for the Blinds the two forced bets are required to be placed by the players on every hand. There is also a small blind in No limit Texas Holdem Poker which is the amount equal to half of low limit bet size. On the other hand big blind is usually equal to low limit bet size.
 
Before the beginning of every hand the player who is positioned immediate left to dealer is then forced for posting small blind and big blind is put up by the subsequently poker player towards the left. These bets are considered as the live bets since you can select to raise although if no one else has.
 
The main objective of the No limit Texas Holdem Poker is to make the strongest poker hand with cards that are present in your hands and also community cards as well.
 
The No limit Texas Holdem Poker will be an analysis of ones own judgment of common sense, mathematical skills and character. The No limit Texas Holdem Poker has much more money at the stake compared to the other Texas Holdem games. The potential losses and gains are also high compared to the other variations of poker. It is good to keep out from the competitive No Limit games totally if you are not having enough skills for the No limit Texas Holdem Poker. Hope these can help you out. Good Luck.

There are very few comics that have had as big of an impact on our culture as Carlin, and it wasnt just in the comedy world. While there have definitely been bigger comics, like Richard Pryor or Bob Hope, it is hard to argue with Carlins significance and his impact on the nation. Without his comedy shtick the Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television, we would have never had the 7 words you really cant say over the air. Who else has sparked an issue so big that it went to the Supreme Court, where the nations high court ruled that the government did have the power to ban broadcast material it deemed indecent. Without Carlins comedy who knows what we might have been watching/listening to for the past 30 years.

What I didnt realize about Carlin was that besides being a comic genius, he was also the very first host of one of my favorite TV shows, Saturday Night Live, back in 1975. To honor the comedians passing, NBC and Saturday Night Live have decided to re-air the shows premiere episode this Saturday, June 28th, at 11:30/10:30C.

I come from an extended family that had seven kids in the house at times. I can tell you that if you are in that type of situation then the parents need something to grab those kids attention. This Mommy Megaphone is a step in the right direction. You can just imagine how loud a megaphone would be in an enclosed space and you know that it would take something drastic to get a response out of them. You had also better hope your kids are better behaved than we were because the measly 10 watts this thing puts out would be no match for the 100 watts our stereo was putting out.

Press release courtesy of Warner Bros.
Before Heath Ledger’s untimely demise, he granted an interview with a group of journalists visiting the set of “The Dark Knight” in Chicago last year. The following are excerpts from that interview:
Question: Everyone says that you are kind of fearless about taking on this role - is that really true?
Heath Ledger: I definitely feared it anything that fears me, I guess excites me at the same time and, so yeah. I dont know if I was fearless, but I certainly had to put on a brave face and believe that I have something up my sleeve and something that was different.
Q: Did you ever watch Jack Nicholson’s version of the Joker?
Heath: Oh yeah, not after I got the role, but Ive seen it many times before. I was a huge fan of it and but having seen [director] Chris Nolans first film, I knew that there was a big difference between a Chris Nolan film and a Tim Burton film. And so therefore there was enough room to for a fresh portrayal. And so I kind of steered away from what Jack did. Hopefully.

Anyone who follows poker knows that the World Series of Poker has grown far beyond its humble beginnings of decades ago.  No longer is it the old, strictly American event that got little coverage outside of a page 2 news article.  Now it is played in the lavish Rio amongst thousands of great players that fly from all over the world just to compete in the Mecca of poker. 
But recently, there have been people bashing the WSOP because it doesnt screen out certain people who choose to buy-in into its events - the most notable being the popular sports blog that goes by the name of Deadspin.com and Gambling911.com.
First the Deadspin, Will Leitch (who also owns the blog), went on a rant about how he didnt even know the WSOP was going on and that its demise came at the same time Burt Reynolds movies are made about it.  Then he talked about how Ernie Scherer III, who is possibly a suspect in the murders of his parents, is attending the event citing Gambling911.com as the source.
Tracing the story over to Gambling911.com I found that they not only reported on Scherer III but they also talked about Shahram Sheikhan who was convicted on charges of sexual battery and annoyance or molestation of a child.  There is a move to get him deported back to Iran for his crimes.
Now Sheikhan obviously committed a terrible crime and may be forced to close up his six tattoo parlors en route back to Iran for it (in addition to the jail time he served).  And if Scherer truly murdered his parents, this is a huge travesty that should be punishable by death so there is no problem in reporting on these twos whereabouts. 
But then Gambling911.com tries to make some sort of connection between the morals of the Olympics and the NFL vs. those of the WSOP by using comments from a reporter named Tom Somach.  Somachs comments are as follows, Seriously, do you think a guy convicted of child molestation and serving nine months in jail would be allowed to compete in the Olympics or the Super Bowl for that matter?  Or anything of substance?  But he can be in the World Series of Poker and nobody cares.
One thing that is missing in this whole equation though is that the Olympics and Super Bowl dont charge buy-ins for the players to participate.  The WSOP does making it totally different from the other two.  Tons of other differences can be made but the bottom line is that the WSOP should not be made into some kind of criminal circus because a 2 of the 50,000+ players have, or may have, committed awful crimes.

WHAT does a poker chip look like to you?
It's not a trick question, and, no, there's no GSCE in Chipology for answers of between 200-300 words. Discuss.
It's just that the Poker Anorak has just spotted a 20-year-old Canadian visiting her local bank.
In her hand she holds a roll of chips.
We should note that in Canada there exists the two-dollar coin, the Twonie.
The name is a cunning blend of the number "two" with the name of the Loonie, Canada's one-dollar coin.
We should not mock. In the UK, the two pound coin has yet to earn a nickname. Suggestions on a postcard as to what it should be called.
Back to the woman in the bank. She hands the teller the coins and makes off with the equivalent in cash, about $100.
Clever stuff.
Only she then tries the same trick again in the same bank and is collared.
Who has not be so defrauded by chips or tokens? Is there any gambler who has not sifted through their fruit machine winnings and found a Kenyan Schilling, a washer or a homemade piece of metal?
We can recall those halcyon days of 50pence parking meters, which could - we are told, yer honour - be triggered by wrapping a bent matchstick around a 10pence piece.
The question is not so much one of honesty but if poker chips have any intrinsic value, other than the number the casino has ascribed them.
What is a chip worth, and can a chip ever be worth as much as money?
Discuss.

You are on top of your poker game. You have all the skills and savvy you need to out smart your fellow gamers. However you are lacking one thing; you really are a tad bit too serious and you do not look cool in front of the rest of the poker players.
Youve seen those guys on Travel Channel on Wednesday night. They sit there playing with their poker chips almost without though. They shuffle and roll and butterfly and man dont they look cool doing it?!
One of the fun things about poker is showing off. Big egos are part of the turf, and what better way to look cool than to do a few tricks with your poker chips? Here are some fun and easy ones to try.
The Pullover
This move is the predecessor to the shuffle. First you get a stack of about 6 to 8 poker chips and place your hand over them with your thumb and pointer finger on one side and the rest of your fingers on the opposite side. Now lift half the stack and set it to the side and with one swift motion, use your thumb and pointer finger to bring the poker chip stack that was left behind up and on top of the other stack. Easy cheesy.
The Finger Flip
This ones useful for suck outs. First extend your arm, then extend your middle finger just kidding. The finger flip is a relatively easy trick where you flip one poker chip over a small stack of poker chips that youre holding. Its easiest if you start with three chips.
So how do you do this? Take a small stack of 3 chips in your hand. Place your forefinger and thumb in the center of the chip, with the rest of your fingers at the side. Using these fingers glide the back 2 chips downwards using your thumb to support them and prevent them from falling. When they slip down make the front chip jump to the back with your forefinger. Remember that this little ploy takes some practice, so perfect it before you show it off to your friends.
The beauty of these two poker chip tricks is that theyre simple and repetitive so you can sit at the table and fiddle with your chips to your hearts content. When you get really good at this, well move on to lesson two: Irritating your friends for fun and profit.
