Famous Quotes By Not-So-Famous Rounders Some words of wisdom from some of Weber Avenue's Best and Brightest-And some of Poker's Best!! "I have no business being in this hand. I call." - Roger Sielaff, right before hitting hitting his third nine on the river to knob Mimi's top pair and propel him to his first Weber Ave league victory "Oh I have a handgun or two. One more shitty beat and I'm gonna start emptying clips in that godforsaken gip joint!!! If I've said it once, I've said it a million times, if I get half the luck these other fruits get, I run the tables over!!!! - Goose "Two Clips" Johns, responding to the insinuation he'd been beaten badly enough at the March Knobness event to need either a hug or a handgun to deal with it "Dammit Brian. You can't pry these players out of a pot with a goddam crowbar." - Bob Lawson Jr. "I don' t mind losing like that." - Roger Sielaff "Worst game ever, this Texas Hold'em Poker." - Goose "Two Clips" Johns, summarizing what at least 9 of us feel every single Thursday "The site is pretty nice. I was looking at it and saw in News & Notes that a girl named Dawn finished second last week in Willoughby.

"That's how you're gonna beat 'em Butch." - Lead Pipe, borrowing a line from 'Pulp Fiction' while extolling the virtues of stealing the blinds "It's hard work, gambling, playing poker. Don't let anyone tell you different. Think about what it's like sitting at a poker table with people whose only goal is to cut your throat and leave you out back talking to yourself about what went wrong inside. That probably sounds harsh. But that's the way it is at the poker table. If you don't believe me then you're the lamb that's going off to slaughter." - Mike "Lubber" Kadlub - 2006 Weber Avenue Poker Knob of the Year (Actually, it was Stu Ungar that said that, Lubber's never said anything worth quoting) "After my kids being born and meeting my wife, the 2006 Weber Avenue Championship Clip is what I'm most proud of in my life.

But my wife is still number one because she's smokin' hot." - Brian "The Poker Poet" McPeek- 2006 Weber Avenue League Champion "Call." - Roger "Raha" Sielaff - Weber Avenue Poker Charter Member "The Guys at Weber Ave run a tournament the right way.
