It was pretty amazing that you stayed conscious long enough to watch
the final table last night.

I think you can only do what I did, that is, offer assistance. If
it's accepted, go for it. If it's passed on, keep your mouth shut.

This, however, does come back to a point that I've argued for awhile
now. Pokerstars has no business offering terms of a deal or beginning
negotiations at the end of a tourney. They should be available to
deal, but they should immediately beg off of any request for help with
a chop.



"You just listen to the words of the old Porkchop Express and take his
advice on a dark and stormy night when the lightning is crashing, the
thunder's rolling and the rain's falling in sheets as thick as lead.
Just remember what Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, the poison
arrows fall from the sky and the pillars of heaven shake. Yeah, Jack
Burton looks that big old storm right in the eye and he says: 'Gimme
your best shot pal, I can take it!.'"
