Flagpole. 315. Be there.

“what’s a berg?”.

In german it says mountain.

My name Laurent gets often pronounced very freestyle...
But in a small country with 3 mean languages + Rumantsch + 26 accents, it's ok!

People at the casino call me a bunch of different things.

One dealer calls me “negs” instead of bergs because we had a conversation 2 years ago about Negreanu.

One of the people at the brush calls me Burrs. Probably because I was hammered at some point and trying to put myself on some ridiculous list like 40/80 mixed.

Brush at the other casino calls me Birds instead of Bergs and when someone corrected him, he got a weird look on his face and askew me “what’s a berg?”.

I never correct anyone. I think it’s funny.

They named a street in our village after you

We live in a multicultural world and personally I don’t give a shit what people call me - at least they’re talking to me. What’s worse is being ignored because they can’t make the effort or are embarrassed to even attempt your name.

Good thing, too, because when we first met, I think I had played poker with you for most of the weekend before I realized your real name wasn't Darson.

It's not. It's "Dare-sohn". And he will wait 3 years to correct you.

My favorite is what he calls tournaments:

Hey now - I warned you about this cyber bullying…

Update: Steh-vay has been renamed "Hank" for poker purposes to make everyone's life easier.

You people are so polite down there in TX. Up here in the Philly area most go by nick names that may not necessarily be complimentary. Saturday night I had some of my old crew over for cards and we were reminiscing about our old games 20 years ago and all the nicknames.

There was “who farted“, “SCUBA Steve“, “Butt Ever“, “Dark Horse”, “Drunk Jeff“, “High Jeff“, “Fu*cking Al”, “Asshole Ryan”, “River Ron”….and the best/worst was “Lobster Boy” who got that name for his short arms and how he looked scooping a pot.

Some of the names were obvious and others I can’t remember how we got them.

If someone would have said we were pronouncing his name wrong the likely reaction would be to continue using the wrong name or purposely mess up the pronunciation even more!

Update: our player calling "Rob" "Bob" just found out. It was pretty hilarious.

Because my "torment" guy seems popular, here's a random sampling of torment texts. My favorite is him signing up for "life torment" (live tournament)

New one tonight!

Well hot damn…

60% of people who know me (through poker or otherwise) have no idea what my last name even is.

80% of those who even know what it is cannot even come close to pronouncing it correctly.

But as @Old State says…90% will probably just say it wrong anyway, if nothing more just to fuk with me.

So this leaves me 100% likely to rethink everything I always thought about my name. That being said…I’m still 120% sure Starbursts rock!!!

If 80% of the people that know your name pronounce it differently than you, have you ever stopped to consider that you are the person saying it wrong?

 

[BigJackJones]

and the best/worst was “Lobster Boy” who got that name for his short arms

Does he happen to be my old boss?

 

[varoadstter]

If the've never bothered to correct anyone for a long time I wouldn't feel bad about it at all. Why should you, you obviously had no idea!
