Vince van Patten Poker Slang

[xSuper_Mario]

On the weekend I had a chance to watch the 2003 World Poker Tour Ladies Night Event where Clonie Gowen won. On the show Vince van Patten made me laugh when he called a pair of queens "West Hollywood" :roflmao:. I love that term now and am going to use it whenever I can, but I was wondering if anyone else has heard any of Vince's poker slang??

[Muroot]

LOL...yea that is great Mario....How about awhile back when Vince said, "these guys are tighter than a Joan Rivers facelift". :silly:

[Julie]

I am not sure if Vince has ever used the term or not, but the first time I heard a 9-5 straight referred to as a Dolly Parton, I had a little giggle :silly:

I don't remember exactly what show it was, but VVP said, "If he catches the case 7, I'll eat this piece of paper." The guy caught the 7 on the river, won the hand and VVP ate the paper. hahaha. :roflmao:

I note from tonight's repeat during the WPT marathon that the comment was edited out. Good. Glad to know that the PTB at WPT understand that the comment is derogatory and they are sensitive to that.
