Sorry, kind of a vague topic.
I'm doing a paper, a kind of a research paper, on online poker. I was wondering if anyone had a feel good or interesting story that had to do with online poker, either about yourself or someone you know.
example: poker money won in a tournament paid for you're friends heart transplant, homeless person gets off the street through online poker, etc.
thanks.

gabe, you have to take that story into more detail.
For a quick summary, gabe is a hardcore balllllla'. I don't know how much more he can ellaborate on that, but it's a pretty cool story.

I'm planning on doing that too. Well actually I'm going to do it for myself and make my mom take care of me while I recover.

you should make sure to jerk while the laser is in your second eye. This way you can sue the shit outta the optomitrist, and you get to wear an eyepatch, with a skull and cross bones on it if you want. edit: Also since you waited til he fixed the first, youll have one eye thatprobably is the eqiv to your two old crappy eyes. Win, win (further)edit:, win.

To have a fall from grace, don't you have to be in a pretty good situation to begin with?
