ALAN THE AMATEUR


LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF. I AM ALAN THE AMATEUR!

WHILE READING THIS FORUM IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION,

THAT TOO MUCH EMPHASIS HAS BEEN PUT ON EXPERT PLAY.

ALAN UNDERSTANDS THAT NOT EVERYONE HAS THE AMBITION

TO BECOME AN "EXPERT" POKER PLAYER. THERE SEEMS TO

BE A GREAT NEED FOR MY PEDESTRIAN ADVICE! IF YOU ARE A

LOSING PLAYER OR EVEN A WINNING PLAYER, AND YOU LONG

FOR BETTER DAYS, WELL THEN YOUR TIME HAS COME!



LISTEN UP AND LISTEN WELL, FOR I ALAN THE AMATEUR WILL

GUARANTEE THAT IF YOU HEED MY ADVICE, YOU WILL BECOME

A BREAKEVEN PLAYER! YES YOU HEARD THAT CORRECTLY.

ALAN CAN MAKE YOU (YES YOU) REGARDLESS OF

YOUR WIN RATE OR YOUR STANDARD DEVIATION... A

BREAKEVEN PLAYER!


HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU LEFT THE CASINO UP OR DOWN

MONEY? HAVEN'T YOU HAD ENOUGH OF THE FLUCTUATIONS,

NOT KNOWING WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE GOING TO WIN

OR LOSE MONEY FOR THE DAY? ISN'T IT TIME TO SAY ENOUGH

IS ENOUGH!


ALL OF MY STUDENTS HAVE BENEFITTED FROM MY

COMMONPLACE KNOWLEDGE. ON OCCASION, I ALAN THE

AMATEUR DO DONATE MY SERVICES AS AN MIDDLING

INSTRUCTOR BUT ALAN MOSTLY RELIES ON THEIR GRATITUDE.

TO DATE, I HAVE RECEIVED SIX BICYCLES, A

COUCH, TWO USED CEILING FANS, A DOZEN MOVIES (BETA)

AND A NORGE. BUT UPON READING THE THREADS IN THIS

FORUM, I ALAN THE AMATEUR HAVE BECOME INSPIRED! I AM

GOING TO OFFER MY ADVICE FREE OF CHARGE!

PEOPLE HAVE ACTUALLY GIVEN ME STUFF FOR MY ADVICE (DID I

MENTION THE NORGE?), YET HERE I AM READY TO GIVE IT

AWAY!!!!


ALL ALAN REQUESTS IS THAT YOU SHOW PROPER RESPECT

FOR A PLAYER OF MY LEVEL OF MEDIOCRITY, AND THEN YOU

TOO CAN BENEFIT FROM MY KNOWLEDGE AND BECOME A

RUN-OF-THE-MILL PLAYER, PERHAPS EVEN SECOND RATE.

ONE OF MY STUDENTS, WHO HAS SURPASSED MY MIDDLING

PLAY, HAS BECOME EVEN MORE UNEXCEPTIONAL THAN ALAN!

HE HAS BROKE EVEN FOR TWELVE YEARS STRAIGHT! HIS BEST

STREAK WAS 56 BALANCED SESSIONS IN A ROW, MARRED

ONLY BY A SMALL WIN ON THE 57TH TIME OUT!!!


ALAN WANTS TO ESPECIALLY THANK MIKE CARO AND ROY

COOKE FOR ALLOWING HIM TO STAY ON THIS FORUM. THEIR

INPUT, WHILE COMING STRAIGHT FROM THEIR HEARTS,

IS EXPERT AND MAY CAUSE YOU TO WIN. DON'T HOLD THEIR

SUCCESS IN POKER AGAINST THEM. ALAN IS NOT SAYING THIS

TO KISS THEIR BUTTS, FOR ALAN WILL ONLY GIVE YOU

ORDINARY ADVICE AND HAS NO ALTERIOR MOTIVES!

PLEASE QUICKLY SEND FANMAIL TO ME...ALAN THE AMATEUR

OR I WILL FOREVER DEPRIVE YOU OF MY PASSABLE ADVICE!

YES! Finally someone who can help me!

ALAN, I am so tired of winning and I will heed your advice, I promise. I also promise to send you lots of fan mail and just to show you my appreciation in advance- I will send you my most prized possession. It's an Apple PC and I have treasured it for many years.


Gratefully,
4 POKER

Hmmm, well this puts me in a bit of a dilemma then. After all, I was going to send it to ALAN as a token of my appreciation. However, I do have some other valuable treasures I could send his way, so make me an offer Easy E and I'll see what I can do! (lol)!


4P-

Hi Alan.

Finally! Someone who understands the misery of not knowing whether I am going to win or lose on any given day. While I don't have a computer to send you, I could send my collection of poker books. I have a feeling that I will no longer be needing them. For once I feel that I am at peace with poker. Thank you for being an average player and your willingness to share your knowledge with us.

Respectfully...Pale Ale

LOL. My friend and me use that one all the time when we are golfing. Don't forget the drooling/gurggling sound.

My favorite is "mmmmm, solent green....gurggle gurggle"

Another of my favorites is the following (especially as the timing is impeccible):

Homer skids the car to a stop, and hits/knocks over a statue of a deer in a park, and the following dialog is heard rapidfire:

Homer: "D'oh!"
Marge: "A deer!"
Lisa: "A female deer..."
