Poker in Taglish! Why not?

(For intro refer to previous post)

Host 1: So, nandito po tayo ngayon sa Casino Filipino para sa isa na namang torneo ng mga mga sinungaling at nagsisinungaling.

Host 2: Sigurado masisiyahan kayo sa aksyon na mapapanood nyo ngayon nandito po ang mga propesyonal sa larong ito at karamihan dito ay hindi Filipino. Kung meron man ay medyo may katagalan ng natanggal ang ating mga pambato.

Host 1: Si Mr. Felizardo "Hari" Pascual, number one player galing sa 'Pinas ay nagtapos sa ika-532th na pwesto at ngayon nga ay nandito tayo sa final table kung saan walong manunugal ang nakarating para paglabanan ang tatlong milyong dolyar (Unsaid: Marahil karamihan nito ay galing din sa mga Pinoy)...

(13 hands later)

Host 1: Ayan po napahiya po yung 'kano na si Mr. Anthony sa nakaraang kamay. Ilinaban nya ang pares na tres bago pa ang plop (flop) at pinatulan naman siya ng intsik na si Mr. Li.. Tulay ayan luhaan sa may tabi at kokonti na lang ang bala sa laban na ito.

Host 2: So nandito tayo sa ika-labing apat na kamay kung saan ang Koreanong si Mr. Park ang nangunguna sa bilangan sa chips.

Host 1 : Binigay na ng dealer ang kanilang mga bagong kamay... Action on Mr Li... Ayan nakita natin may dalawa syang reyna! Mahilig siguro ito si Mr. Li sa tsiks kanina pa kasi to nakakahawak ng magagandang baraha sa kanyang kamay.. Ayan.. Medyo agresibo ang kanyang gustong ipahiwating at dinoble ang mga malaking bulag sa gitna ng mesa.

Host 2: Next up ay si Mr. Ashcott ng England... Agad nyang tinapatan ang taya ni Mr. Li ano kaya ang hawak nito.. Ah. Sampung puso at isang jack na diamante. Marahil umaasa na madungtungan ito sa komunidad ng mga baraha...

Host 1: Balik tayo sa aksyon kay Mr. Anthony.. Naubos na ang kanyang chips sa pagtaya sa maliit na bulag kaya wala na siyang ibang gagawin kundi maghintay... At manalangin. Ang kaniyang baraha ay... Mabaho. 2 at 7.

Host 2: Mr. Park naman na halatang relax at sigurado ay pwede nya ng tulak tulakin ang mga kalaban dahil sa mala-building na chip stack nito. Ayan, pinatulan nya rin at tumaya para sumama sa laban sa kamay na ito... Ang kanyang baraha ay isang hari ng mga puso at isang ace ng parehong hitsura. Good call by Mr. Park. Baka nga naman may lumabas na pares so komunidad ng mga baraha simulan natin sa plop...

Round 13 :
Li - QH, QS
Aschott - 10H, JD
Anthony - 2S - 7C
Park (chip leader) - KH, AH

Host 1: Tingnan natin ang plop na unti-unting binubuksan ng maganda natin dealer na mukhang model talaga (at amputi!)

Flop - QC, JH, 2H

Host 1: Ayan na po. Si Li ang mukhang nagbida matapos ang unang bisita ng tatlong baraha...

Host 2: Si Mr. Anthony po ang unang sasabak sa aksyon.. Ay! All in na pala sya kanina pa.

Host 1: Si Mr. Park naman.. Agresibo pa rin at tumaya sya ng apat na daan libong piso!

Host 2: Si Li na may trio nga ay tumutulak na ng chips.. At lahat tinulak! ALL IN!

Host 1: Dapat lang dami nya tsiks eh.

Host 2: Si Mr. Ashcott ang huli... Di nagpahuli at nag ALL IN din! Patay!

Host 1: Balik tayo kay Park na madalian sumangayon! 4-way action po tayo! Mas matindi pa to sa napanood ko noong araw bida yung Viva Hot Babes...

Host 2 (Siniko si Host 1): Oo at maaring tapusin na ang lahat ni Mr. Park dahil sa kanyang lakas ng loob! Tingnan natin habang binubuka nang lahat ang kanilang mga kamay...

The Hands:
Li - QH, QS
Aschott - 10H, JD
Anthony - 2S - 7C
Park (chip leader) - KH, AH

Flop - QC, JH, 2H
Turn - 9D

Host 2: Ayan buhay pa ang lahat maliban kay Mr. Anthony... Si Li pa rin ang nangunguna matapos ang pinabaliktad ang liko..

Host 1: Mukhang si Li nga kung malalampasan nya lang ang ilog... Kailangan ni Park ng kahit anong diyes para maipanalo ang tatlong milyon!

The Hands:
Li - QH, QS
Aschott - 10H, JD
Anthony - 2S - 7C
Park (chip leader) - KH, AH

Flop - QC, JH, 2H
Turn - 9D
River - 10S

Host 2: At diyes nga!!! Galing ng tawag ni Mr. Park. HE IS THE MAN!

Bite the Bullet: On Packy, Poker and Softdrinks

Damn it. Am not drinking anymore. It's just sad. Another weekend wasted. Another 48 hours of non-stop drinking (exaggeration) which could have been devoted to blogging or even doing advance work for the upcoming 2008 Beijing Olympic. Nah. i won't make any promises because i'll break them 5 minutes after making it so i won't be saying i won't be drinking ever because it only means i am on my way to the nearest sari-sari store to buy a couple of Red Horse (If i am not that tired) or a couple of San Mig Light (if i am not that bored).

That's just probably hangover talking. You know, it's always like a bad breakup... Always that cloud in your head after such such a great time.

Hangover: "It's not you, it's the times"
Me: "Shut up and sleep."

So without further ado here are some realizations over the weekend which i'd like to call the Biting the Bullet segment. Yes, yes it's just a lame play with the word "bullet" (points) and the biting part is a rather interesting word in its own right (when used with reality you can really have something there)--- there, i just explained it. Creativity even in a pun with nothingness, imagination without reason. (Wait i am getting ahead of the so without further ado part, and so, the bullets begin:)

• Blame Kristian (Encarnacion's) 28th birthday for another stupid (but fun) act when semi-drunk ( i shall be posting the picture anytime this week and that would explain both the fun and stupid part. As i've told Pipoy, with this group i can't seem to beat them (there it goes again, i just admitted that even this is competition.. No, make that with this group of fun-loving and generally happy people) with their bag of jokes and random acts of witty gags all i can do really is apply the "one time, big time" approach. The softdrinks story should be one of them. (The picture is adobephotoshopped . Promise.)

• Blame Mr. NG for a little problem with our Ray Ban Poker offtube later this week (for backing out but he was never in, he told me over a text message because nobody said anything to him. How's that for organization?)... That little on our end cost me this particularly interesting exchange and errr idea for future poker events... i asked myself why not Poker in Tagalog or Taglish!!! Well, i know i know it wouldn't sell with such an elitist target of the sport (ok, the game) but nonetheless i think it will click as a plug of sorts (how to suggest it to the higher-ups is the next step though)... (Come to think of it, it deserves another entry right after this one so...)

• Blame Monday's sickness on all of weekend of sleeping and practically doing nothing. The sickness's name? She's called laziness as well.
• Lots to blame still including Manny Pacquiao who made us proud once again. But sleep is starting to take over and it's a rare thing. i should take advantage.
