My brother, Poker is indeed an honorable game. Texas hol 'em. You are playing based on your experience against the cards you are dealt. CANlBUS: 47 Likes 5 Shares |

iTearHerToto: You are an Igbo boy. Stop hating when others are winning, that's why the only thing you succeed in is crime. Karma is punishing your people. That's how you guys were shouting when Yorubas were busy winning Grammys. Today, Yorubas alone have 13 Grammys and you guys have nothing to show. 18 Likes 5 Shares |
