As I’ve previously posted it looks like everybody is in a race to offer poker camps. The World Poker Tour has announced a WPT Boot Camp. So far, they seem to be the most blatently dishonest:
How can you compete at the World Poker Tour level?
Up until now it required thousands of hours of experience, and a significant bankroll. But now that has all changed with the WPT Boot Camp!
Sorry Doyle. Sorry Gus. All those thousands of hours you spent learning poker were a wasted effort. The WPT is going to take these boot camp recruits and turn them into WPT caliber players in two days . . . or not. 🙂
Maybe I should start a poker boot camp. I did my time serving Uncle Sam (I call him Uncle S). Instead of these cushy poker camps by Howard Lederer and the WPT this would be like Army boot camp with a poker twist.
Drill Instructor (DI): OH MY SWEET LORD! PRIVATE DIPSH*T DID YOU JUST RAISE SEVEN EIGHT OFFSUIT FROM UNDER THE GUN!?!? ONLY TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE RAISE SEVEN EIGHT UNDER THE GUN; STEERS AND FISH. AND I DON’T SEE ANY HORNS ON YOU PRIVATE DIPSH*T SO THAT MUST MAKE YOU A FISH. ARE YOU A FISH PRIVATE DIPSH*T?
Pvt. DipSh*t: No Drill Sgt.
DI: WHAT DID YOU SAY? I CAN’T HEAR YOU PRIVATE DIPSH*T!
Pvt. DipSh*t: NO DRILL SGT!
DI: Well, I think you are a fish Private Dipsh*t. I think you’re the slimy, low life, type of bottom feeder that would call a raise cold on the flop out of position with bottom pair. I bet your daddy told you that any two cards could win.
GET DOWN AND START KNOCKING OUT SOME PUSHUPS!
Now that would be a cool boot camp!
