Wow Brent, so many things to say! You have a lot of time and an active imagination. You are very eloquent. You are always entertaining and thought provoking. I think of your posts as big shiny presents with a big bow on top. You know, the kind you unwrap last because it seems so special. And my last comment. I know you are a mad Englishman, but do you reside on this planet or the other England that is in an alternate universe? lol. Beam me up Brent!!!

Texas Hold�em Have you played Texas Hold�em? It made me smile as I imagined the smokers version of this poker game��you see the cards are slightly different to normal. You are dealt two cards face down�these are yours to keep and cannot be changed, in fact you could say that you can�t get rid of them. So use you imagination and stay with the mad Englishman for a few minutes as I take you through a game. There are three players and the dealer is ready to start. Player One gets his two cards and sneaks a look��.Ace of lung cancer and a three of dogbreath��..will he be able to make anything really strong or will it be a lingering and slow death. Player Two gets her cards����a pair! Queen of Emphysema and Queen of COPD! She is breathless with excitement! Player Three sweats nervously as he peels up the edge of the stained and smelly cards�.he has rubbish�..you can almost see it in his eyes as he reveals a 3 of Dependency and a 7 of Poverty. The betting starts as people raise and call. The flop is dealt�..three face up cards, the Jack of high blood pressure, the Ace of Throat cancer and the 3 of Irritability. Player One looks smug�.a pair of Aces bring out a big bet. Player Two has the Queens ace high now and calls. Player Three has the small pair and decides to bluff, who knows�..he may get lucky. The turn, the fourth face up card, the players having to make a poker hand of 5 cards from all the available options��a 9 of Stinking Clothes fails to excite the crowd. Another round of betting ensues�����and the final card is dealt����.the river! The three of Despair and Addiction slides onto the table. The winner is Player Three!!!!!! He grins as he reveals his 3 to add to the others on the table. He slumps back in his chair, the sweat glistening on his brow as the realisation of his true prize takes hold, a massive cardiac arrest as his struggling heart gives up the struggle to pump his thickened blood around his choked arteries ������and the grim reaper smiles and the other players wait their turn to win, because you see, in this game we all get to �win� one day. Mad Englishman. [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 12/8/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 66 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 466 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �330 [B]

Brent, It's ironic that this post is all about Texas Hold'em... I used to play VERY frequently (4-10 times per week) at amateur poker tournaments where no money was involved (although I won a $200 gift certificate once), but quit playing after I quit smoking... too much of a temptation to smoke, since those two things were so tightly intertwined. So connecting smoking and playing Texas Hold'em in a different way is quite interesting. One comment though... lung cancer, dogbreath, emphasema, COPD, Dependency, Poverty, Throat Cancer, Irritablitity and stinking clothes... I thought there were only 4 suits when playing cards!?!?! ;p Crave the Quit!
