…The Half Way Stage…

Hi Everyone,

The Iceman here.

Well yesterday saw all the fives, 5, 55………Season five, day 55 and we’re into the final half of the season……….so hows it shaping up.

Well, firstly, its good to see new members still joining and also enetering the Poker Rooms so lets encourage more of this.

As much as the top 2 places seem allocated already, the places for a Top 10 finish are really hotting up. Anyone dropping out of the Top 10 seems to have a task to reclaim that place but with only about 1M chips seperating 6 places it wont take much for these seats to change hands..

Remember, win a stack of chips in the Poker Rooms and these could buy those much needed items and boost you back up into Wristband territory.

With a New Year comes a new broom, so lets all brush away any cobwebs left over from last year and enjoy the swim home to Poker Shark retirement as one big happy shoal.

44 days and counting……….and as usual, see you out there..

The Iceman.

…..Merry New Year…..

Hi Everyone,

The Iceman Here, fresh from dropping his beer all over himself, but hey , i decided to start the New Year celebrations early..!!!

Another Year is upon us and as we look forward to a year of Fine Vintage Wines, a rare Newcastle United Home Win and Poker Shark World Domination, we must also reflect on how we’ve acted in the year past.

Did we really steal that Poker Table..?

Did we really wish we could have challenged that same shark more?

Did we really shout, err, SUGAR when we tried for a Royal Flush but ended up with a pair of 3’s

and…Did we really go All-In in the Poker Rooms when all we had was Queen High….

Well of course we did, thats what Poker Sharks is all about and long may it continue into the New Year and beyond.

Lynx, PokerGod, aka The Man Upstairs, fresh back from spreading the Poker Shark Brand on a tropical beach along with some local lovelies, tells me to expect some good changes for the forthcoming year, that will continue to add new members to the Poker Rooms, thus hopefully filling our pockets with an influx of new chips.

On the other hand they could quite as easily be taken away, as some of us already know, dont we K_YS_S……(please feel free to add in whatever vowel is correct).

Well done matey, i see youve got off bottom slot, only 55 days to go….!!!

That said, remember all and i think it was Shear Toon, it is very possible, especially from here on in as people now have plenty of cash, to get a 100k pot in just one hand, so it can all change around very quickly.

Good Luck to all as we aproach the 2nd half of the season and may you enjoy whatever celebrations you have for the New Year, 2008.

As usual, see you out there……

The Iceman.

Hi All

The Iceman here…..

…and i didnt mean Leon or the Spice Girls.

It looks like Blizzo is going to hold the Xmas crown for 2007, closely followed by the Current and Reigning Champion Nakd.

In recent weeks the Poker Rooms have been full, new members and old throwing their chips in all directions but well done to new member Rover who is currentley in top slot of Poker Room King, closely followed by the usual pack.

The River King Kaysus has floated away, me thinks, what has happened Kaysus, last seasons Poker Room runner up has taken away Radar’s title of ”The Foundation Poker Player”, ie propping up everyone else and hey, that takes some doing…..im sure he’ll be back with a New Year’s Resolution of turning that round.

The festive season is upon us so eat, drink and be merry everyone, spare a thought for those less fortunate than ourselves and a few spare poker chips in someones plate may go a long way.

My Christmas card greetings go out to Radar, Kaysus, The Bladddddddeee, Everyones Favourite Girl, Spanky, Lynx-Poker God, aka The Man Upstairs, Hundy, Shear Toon, LMW, Mumsy, Rover, The Wife, Teddy Bear, The Blizzzzzzzz, Nakd, ‘El Lobo’, Spindry, Splinterz, Yazvan, Nearly Forgot Drummerlad (doh), Dabes and anyone else ive forgotten, im sorry…

Merry Christmas Everyone

See You Out There

The Iceman

….Nakd…….Naked…..

Hi Everyone

The Iceman here.

Every once and a while something out of the ordinary comes along, something sometimes so elusive, we all want to know more about it.

Tonight we are joined and have the presence of true greatness, folks its the current and reigning CHAMPION………NAKD…..

 

…..”So nakd, glad you could join us

many sharks have been curious about the elusive current champion and wish to know more”…..

The Iceman……what state do u live in nakd ?

Nakd……I live in Littleton, Colorado

The Iceman……are u married ?

Nakd…….I am currently single. I am still recovering from a long relationship. That’s a long story. I’ll let you all know when i finish writing my autobiography and you can read about it.

The Iceman……sounds intruiging….age is a contentious issue, so ill ask how many American Presidents can you remember ?

Nakd…….i can only remember 4…but i think i’ve been alive for 5.

The Iceman…….what got you interested in PokerSharks ?

Nakd…….Blizzo introduced me to it near the end of season 1. I made it up to 102nd.

The Iceman…….Wow, you’ve come along way since then…do have blond or ginger hair, like Horatio Caine from CSI Miami ?

Nakd…… i have hair that is so dark brown and thick that i just call it black.

The Iceman…….do you work, if so for how long and what do you do ?

Nakd…….I have been managing the pizza restaurant that Blizzo owns for the last year and a half

The Iceman…….Yeah, i love Pizza………Your the current PS champion, how does that make you feel ?

Nakd…….It makes me feel all warm and tingly inside…kinda like your mother

The Iceman…….Huh..!, how do you know my Mother ?………..what sort of woman would you date, Victoria Beckham, Oprah Winfrey or Nancy Reagan ?

Nakd…….None of the above…apparently I date women with daddy issues.

The Iceman…….what sounds do u have on your ipod ?

Nakd…….I have 2k songs on my ipod. The songs range all the way from Bad Religion, to Elvis Presley, to the Clash, to Johnny Cash. I listen to a lot of different music.

The Iceman…….wow, a regular walking Jukebox Nakd, maybe you could start your own download site, in between boosting your poker skill…….what car do you drive ?

Nakd…….I have 2 cars right now. The one I drive is a 2005 nissan sentra. I also have a 2005 dodge neon. If anyone wants it, let me know.

The Iceman…….How do prefer to Woo a woman, Candlelit dinner, Ribshack, or a Park Bench and a bag of Popcorn ?

Nakd……definitely a candlelit dinner. Although I would prefer to just get naked and not mess with all that stuff. If I wanted to pay for it I would call my ex.

The Iceman…….what car do you want to drive ?

Nakd…….My dream car changes all the time. We’ll go with the one that I was planning on buying as soon as my finances are under control again. Nissan 350Z

The Iceman…….sounds like a mean machine Nakd, lets test drive one , soon……..if you had to take a punch, what would you prefer, Head , Gut or Big Toe ?

Nakd…….I’ve been working out, so I think I’ll take it to the gut. Why? You wanna fight Icy?

The Iceman…….noway Nakd, apologies if i seemed too forward…….What comment do you have on the current USA election campaign

Nakd…….leave this one out.

The Iceman…….sure, what pets do you have ?

Nakd…….None right now ?

The Iceman…….Are you related to any of these famous Americans………..George Washington, Geronimo or Bruce Springsteen ?

Nakd…….No…that’s kind of a weird one there buddy

The Iceman…….have you ever seen a Space Shuttle Launch ?

Nakd…….just on tv

The Iceman…….PS is now embedded in your blood, do you think this is a good gene to pass on

Nakd…….If it is a good gene to pass on, then I’m definitely the most eligible bachelor 

The Iceman…….Where did you last go on holiday ?

Nakd…….I visited some friends and family in California in August. I went to Alaska and took a cruise in May, and 2 weeks before that I spent a few days in Las Vegas.

The Iceman…….you covered some miles there Champ, no doubt spreading the PokerShark brand…..Do you prefer to surf, mountain climb, drink beer or play PS ?

Nakd…….Drink beer and play PS

The Iceman…….answered in true PokerShark, Champion style Nakd……American Football, Baseball, Basketball or Soccer ?

Nakd…….American football. Although I am fan of all sports. I have to go with the NFL though because I have 9 fantasy football teams and am in 2 football pools…not to mention countless betting every week.

The Iceman…….Im a Giants fan myself, got into it when Lawrence Taylor was around…..just thought you’d like to know that, Champ……Armani, Levi’s or Billabong ?

Nakd…….I guess billabong would be the closest to me on that list. Not really a brand name kinda guy. I wear what’s comfortable

The Iceman…….What periodical do you read………..Cosmo, USA Today, The special offers leaflet from Wallmart ?

Nakd…….Mostly just the sports page in the newspaper.

The Iceman…….Given the choice would you rather go to.New England in The Fall, Yosemite in Winter or To Daytona Bike Week ?

Nakd…….None of those sound like fun to me. I either need the beach, or a blackjack table, or a dozen women and a bottle of rum.

The Iceman…….That be Daytona then, i was there in ’94 and it was great…….Do you understand the humour of Benny Hill, Nakd ?

Nakd…….i don’t think i know who that is.

The Iceman…….In 1 sentence, sum up your impression of the British

Nakd……. I never really thought about that before. We are all just people. I never made any generalizations.

The Iceman…….thats quite profound Champ, i like your style……Who do you think will win this season’s PS ?

Nakd……It’s between Blizzo and myself, but I think he has me this season despite the $50 bet we have.

The Iceman…….Nakd, thanks for joining us………

Well thats it for this week folks, see you out there

The Iceman

Hi Everyone…………..The Iceman Here.

Well a full house at the Pokerrooms seems to be the norm, now, so the aim has to be having a choice of tables and who to play…..long may it continue.

This week has seen a few other firsts too……………..none more so than SuperPablo leading from the front and taking out the first PokerSharks Advert, so well done to him, even if it is a fantasy that Aston Villa will be the top of anything (ahem)….

The screen shot also shows some censorship as it is alledged the first PokerSharks Marriage proposal happened and further talk in the Pokerrooms was rife, so to protect the innocent, ive done a good ole Tony Blair and Covered it up……

The current and reigning Champion Nakd has been seen a little bit more in the Pokerrooms, no doubt fearful of his soon demise from the PokerSharks Throne and was cautiously checking out the opposition

FullTable2 

So 1 picture really does tell a lot of stories………

PokerSharks Facebook has been born, so those interested in joining this and spreading the word, check it out…..PSFB

Well done to Sheer Toon for the setup, at least someone in a Newcastle Shirt has scored this week and we await with anticiaption the birth of PokerSharks Myspace from Blizzo.

All of this is great advertising for the future of PokerSharks, but the biggest up in my opinion must go to Radar who posted the ‘Fundraising ‘ Thread that started the ball rolling…..well in Girl.

I had also suggested a PokerShark YouTube video, Lynx, PokerGod, aka the man upstairs has given a few pointers on this, so we await someone with the visionary PokerShark Skills to take up the mantle and produce a telling video clip, but please………..please, it has to include the Lynxy Shuffle………….cant wait.

Along with the first PokerSharks Calendar suggestion, ala WI style, we look forward to PokerSharks Airlines, PokerSharks TV (hey why not) and…………..PokerSharks Icecream.

Well Thats it for now folks, keep those suggestions coming in and as always……….

 …..I’ll see you out there.

The Iceman

PS..anyone know where i can buy a packet of Tutti Frutti’s…?
