It was a bit of a tradition that we would have some sort of April Fools joke each year on Surfers. For a bit of history, we will post one of those...."Flop Sailor"
Flop Sailor arrived and was very ethusiastic, despite having lots of crazy advice. Here is one such post, were he gives the ultimate "gamblers fallacy":
"SHOULD I BE AIMING TO WIN, OR MAKE THE MONEY???
the main thing in poker is to make money (LOL , DUHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! and you will usually make mroe money by winning a poker games than cashing alone. however your aim should allways be to make the money, so you haves a profit and this is what is a WINNING POKER PLAYER!!!
if you loose a game, remember to enter another game straight away because it is less liekly you will loose two in a row (law of averages). if you win, you might want to give poker a break for now because YOU CANT WIN THEM ALL (law of averages)
you should aim to go win,loose,win,loose,win,loose. be very careful if you win or loose 2 in a row because this means it is almost certain for you to loose the next game. sometimes it is correct do deliberately loose a game in order to please the law of averages.
that's it for now, MORE TIPS COMING SOON!!!!!"
He seemed like he was a complete novice, but his heart was in the right place. And then.... he won the Sunday Warm-up, one of the major Sunday tournaments!!
His identity was quickly verified (above), and regular members stood around in shock with mouths wide open.
Later Smokinat420 tracked him down at a table to investigate:
