    Backcounting and Wonging in

    No no no! If you have the advantage, play! Don't even think about anybody else, just have your profit in mind.

    Woo hoo! I got my first backoff!

    You should have yelled out "Only daddy can touch me there!!" and thrown yourself to the floor. Its +EV.

    Just another ploppyism?

    My reply to ploppies getting angry when losing hands because of my play: "Sir! I drove out here today, especially to make you lose your money. That's just what I do." If it makes them leave the table, that's just a bonus! Could care less what other people feel about me.
