The World According to Sugar Bear

After a recent pot in which Al Barbieri lost the chip lead, he started jawing with Mike Rocco a little bit. On the next hand, Rocco brought it in for 3,000.

"When you limp," Barbieri said to Rocco, "there will be no pots. I do all the raising."

"Small ball," replied Rocco.

Barbieri shook his head. "If I win, it will be over in two hours. If you win it's gonna take six."
