Donnie "The Shocker"
Jack-of-all-trades,
master of none is the motto "The Shocker" lives by and it is reflective in his poker game. There many ways he can play
poker, yet has not mastered one way that suites him. He loves the flush draw and many times will lose most of his chips
chasing. He is becoming a threat in many poker tournaments, but we are still waiting for the day we can change his nickname
to "Shock and Awe" instead of "The Shocker" because he pulled off a huge bluff and dominated a night. One of the true
good guys at the table. All that I have to say is,"Get 'em Don"
Ro "Pauley Wall "nutz"
Wall "nutz" is the Sammy Farha of the DMS Rounders. Any two cards are winners.
When you look up the word gambler, in the dictionary, you see a picture of Ro's ugly mug. (Kind of like the picture on the
side of a Hy-Vee truck). Wall "nutz" is known for his aggresive play. Good luck getting him off a hand.
He will call almost anything with anything. How many times do we hear, "I got outs" from Ro. His nickname comes from
the hit TV show, "Sapranos". He's got the grey coming through the sides of his hair. Don't worry Ro, we will all
tell you it looks distinguished.
B.J. "The Deputy"
"Officer, can I recommend using your night stick." You better use a night stick if you
want to take out this big guy. "The Deputy" is liable to go all in with any two cards. We don't think he knows
the difference between pocket Aces and 7-2 off suite. Or maybe that's what he wants us to think. Don't worry deputy,
you can bring your cheat card with you. Just don't arrest us when we bust you and start singing "I Shot The Sheriff."
Jesse "The Jester"
A solid player that starts quiet, but will open up as his chip stack increases. Don't
let him get too comfortable cause he'll start opening up the wrong end, and you'll find yourself smelling the
road kill he ate for lunch that day. He gets streaky at times. catch him when he's hot and you'll get burned. Catch him when
he's not and you'll send him to get his revenge by playing your kids in video games, and he'll probably lose there too.
Sam "Sweet Dreams"
I'm not
sure why we are even considering playing this poker league out for a whole season. According to "Sweet Dreams", he is
already the best poker player. "Sweet Dreams" talks so much trash at the poker table he makes, Wesley Snipes, in "White
Men Can't Jump" seem like an amateur, at the art of trash talking. He does use his trash talking effectively by
getting you off your game. Most of the time, he can back up his mouth with solid play. He always is a threat to take
home the winners share of the purse. However, there are periods of time in "Sweet Dream’s" poker game where
he seems uninterested in the game and he will call off all his chips on questionable calls. Regardless of the outcome,
you're going to hear about it.
Tony "Tee Pee"
His nickname "Tee Pee" comes from the ancient tribal community that settle this great
land meaning "toliet paper". In other words, you can wipe your a** with his poker playing ability. Tony is
known for his extreme tight play. Everything he does in poker is "close to the vest" There is an ugly rumor circulating
that "Tee Pee" plays so tight, if he put a penny between his a** cheeks he would give Abraham Lincoln a headache.
Travis "The Bull"
If he wins a few hands early, he has no fear. He will call you with anything half way
decent and raise with any single face card. He knows how to push players around and trap them in tight corners.
But like most bullies he doesn't know when to let up. Just dangle out the red cape and watch him charge into the
brick wall behind it.
Amanda "Silent Assassin"
The "Silent Assassin" is the only woman, at this time, in the DMS Rounders. Maybe she
is the only one that can stand the rest of the guys. She is like a snake in the grass waiting to strike. Don't
be fooled by her timid table demeanor, she'll snatch your chips up in a second. In fact, at a certain point in the night,
usually late, you will here the repeat sounds of Amanda saying, "screw it, All In, over and over". She is the wife of
"The Jester". It will be interesting to see if a major tournament comes down to the two of them. Will it be a
glorious victory for the "Silent Assassin" or is it the couch for "The Jester" , for busting his wife.
He's a cool customer. Be prepared when you're on his turf, cause he keeps his poker room like a meat locker. If you bet
on or before the flop, be ready to show your cards or he'll hang you up next to a side of beef, and go to work on you like
Rocky. He can play any two cards and win, but don't be scared. Just apply some constant pressure and watch the heat melt
his game like icecream on a hot summer day. Give him a couple bad beats and Freeze will steam so fast he will lose his senses.
He can tilt so hard, he makes Phil Hellmuth look as composed as Doyle Brunson.
Danny "The Unicycle"
He gets his name from his willingness to show off driving his Kawasaki on one wheel. You start off thinking he is studying
his opponents by his lack of play. He's really just being careful. After a while he gets impatient and wants to see every
flop. He can catch lightning in a bottle from time to time, but just mention his under achieving Georgia Poodles and you'll
break his stride. It won't be long before you send him peddling his bike home to the wife and kids.
