Please ignore the horrible sentence structure and lack of commas in the following quoted material.  Emphasis mine, as per usual.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_League_Now!

“In Episode 15 a reference was made about a “Matt Dunay,” who was at that time a child who had written a letter to Nickelodeon asking to be in the show. This launched his career as an actor in commercials for such things as Kix and Snickers. He is now a male stripper.”

Because this is Wikipedia, and there’s absolutely no references or source for this info, you may as well skip the grain of salt and just drive straight into “no, that’s not true at all.”  But reading the last sentence did give me pause for a moment and made me utter the title of this post, hence the title of this post.

After months of online poker inactivity, I jump into a $11 single table Sit ‘n Go on Full Tilt.

He hits his 3-outer, I hit my 1-outer re-suck FTW.

He hits his 3-outer, I hit my 1-outer re-suck for the win, sometimes abbreviated FTW.I once thought those letters meant "FUCK THE WORLD" and wondered why people who won all the time were always angry.

Set-mine hits and busts the unfortunate fellow with KK.

Coin flip pre-flop, top pair on the flop, all gravy from there.

Full Tilt won't give me my 2nd lifetime Royal Flush though.

Full Tilt won’t give my my second lifetime Royal Flush though.

Had it not been for the river, I would've busted the last guy and taken 1st place ($45)

Had it not been for the river, I would've won 1st place ($45) instead of splitting the pot.

I go on to lose, partly because I lost patience 30 hands later and pushed into the nuts.  $27 ain’t too bad though.
