Ah yes - I looked him up and saw what you meant Medtrans. 

Great find by you....I could have used him in the next one LOL

If you're up for another poker pro....here it is:

Who on earth is that?  If you need hints, just let me know.

blue

Oh mannnnnnn blue... I think that is an eye.... maybe a left eye.... maybe a woman's left eye... hmmmmm dastardly deed!

katt

Yes it is and yes it is!  You're good. 

blue

I was just gonna ask you if I got any of those assumptions right and I guess I did! Ok I will guess Shannon Elizabeth...  ??? 8'|

katt

Nope not Shannon Elizabeth.   8)

Need a hint yet?

blue

Yes I need a hint! I am going blind looking for that dang eyelid!

katt

She made at least 6 final tables at the WSOP.

That's a huge hint.

blue

Blue your huge hint was huge enough to take me here:

Vanessa Selbst!!!!!!!!!!

Talk about tough!

katt

Ye gods woman - you even got the same pic. I am truly impressed.

Yes it is Vanessa Selbst.  Well done.

blue

Thank you, thank you, hold the applause, thank you. Your hint was the only way I was gonna figure that one out.

Can't wait to see what evil puzzle you come up with next!

katt

I'll have to see what I can come up with!

blue

So here is your next poker pro to guess.

This one might be slightly trickier...but we shall see.....hehehehe

Who is it?

blue

Well now, you gave us a whole mouth and the shadow of a nose, so now my mind is trying to figure out the "trickier" part of this one. I know it is something twisted with you doing these puzzles! Thanks for this new one.

katt

I love to give you a challenge!

Nose shadow is a good thing, right?  Man or woman though?

blue

I think it is a man, but with a softer feminine look to his mouth... which would make it quite tricky indeed! Been busy today, but I will find that mouth, don't you worry!

EDIT: Nose shadow is good thing... yes... so I will say based on that shadow that this is Peter Eastgate!

katt

OMG yes it is Peter Eastgate.  How in the heck did you manage that?

blue

OMG yes it is Peter Eastgate.  How in the heck did you manage that?

 

blue

Now blue, if I told you that it would make it easier for you to trick me! LOL

katt

OMG yes it is Peter Eastgate.  How in the heck did you manage that?

 

blue

 

Now blue, if I told you that it would make it easier for you to trick me! LOL

 

katt

Hmm.  I'm definitely going to have to try harder here and think of something to really get your brain going.

blue

Katt you are amazing!! BTW...are you or were you ever a police detective?? ;) If not you should have been.They could use someone with your talent!!

I think you may have something there Rosebud!  It will be interesting to hear her answer.

In the meantime, I just found this nice poker brain teaser (no googling please):

The poker tourney host, Mr Slickdeals, decides to set up a game for some acquaintances.  He is finding that this group of people are a little more demanding than any of his previous poker participants. So, he's had the players submit their food & drink orders prior to the beginning of the tourney. Being a shrewd (somewhat skewed) businessman, he's decided to charge the players at the final table for whatever they ate or drank.

So, Monday morning rolls around, the tourney's over and Mr. Slickdeals begins the process of sending out prizes & food/drink bills when he realizes that, yet again, his computer has crashed. From the notes he's taken, can you determine how much money each player started and ended with & what they had to eat and drink?

1. The beer-drinking Rambunctious didn't have a bologna sandwich. The person who had pastrami exactly doubled their money. Big John started with $250.

2. Vec is not the person who started with $350 and ended with $450. The lemonade drinker, not Iconian, didn't have a turkey sandwich.

3. Mavtech started with more money than the ham sandwich eater but he ended with $100 less than the tequila drinker.

4. The person eating a turkey sandwich ended the day with more money than the iced tea drinker but less than the person who had roast beef.

5. Vec didn't drink tequila. The vodka drinker didn't start with $400 but he ended with $150 more than he started with. The person who had a ham sandwich had $300 to start with, but it wasn't Vec.

6. The five players were Mavtech, the man who started with $500, the person who had a turkey sandwich, the man who ended with $600 and the iced tea drinker.

Oh no, oh no, oh no! Not a LOGIC puzzle.... my brain will first hurt and then it will twist, then it will knot up! Oh me, oh my.  :o

Katt you are amazing!! BTW...are you or were you ever a police detective?? ;) If not you should have been.They could use someone with your talent!!

And the detective question... no, never a police detective... but, I did spend 7 years working for 2 private investigators and I have a friend that is also a PI and when she can't find someone she brings it to me and I have not failed to find them yet. Does that count?

katt

I think that counts Katt.  You're a bloodhound in disguise!

blue

Heyyyyyy! Are you tellin' me I'm doggin' it? LOL LOL Bloodhound indeed.

katt

katt

Nooooo.  I meant you have the nose to sniff out the answers LOL

You're just too good at all this Katt.  So what about that latest teaser then?  Any answers yet?

Whilst you are mulling that over, I'll get onto the next poker pro and TRY not to have nose shadows or whisps of hair to give you clues.

blue

Whilst you mull over that other teaser, here is a nice little pic for you:

Who is it?

Who is it?

 

blue

I don't know what the problem is but 2 of my posts disappeared over the last couple of days. At any rate my answer was then and is now that this eyeball is the eyeball of Theo Jorgensen. Yes? No? Maybe?

katt

Strange that your posts disappeared Katt.  

The answer to your question is.......no it isn't Theo Jorgensen.

Ask for a hint whenever you want one   ;)

blue

Dang it! Ok, is it a boy eye or a girl eye? I think boy, but... ?

katt

Yes it's a boy eye!

No shadows LOL. 

blue

Yes it's a boy eye!

 

No shadows LOL. 

 

blue

No shadows but slight crow's feet! So, is it the eye of Daniel Negreanu?

katt

Crows feet yes.  Daniel Negreanu no.

Sorry Katt.  Try again.

blue

Crows feet yes.  Daniel Negreanu no.

 

Sorry Katt.  Try again.

 

blue

Alright blue... I am begging, groveling, and otherwise abasing myself for a hint.. pretty please with sugar on top?

katt

He has cashed 13 times in the WSOP....soon to be 14?

blue

blue

Ahhhh too good a clue blue... I considered Phil Hellmuth early on but rejected him because his eyes appear darker in most pictures. Thanks for the challenge!

katt

No its not Phil.  Looking forward to your guess.

blue

Well guess it is... big time! If this is not right I need another clue, since there are 64 players that have cashed 13 times in the WSOP!

Ok here goes nuttin' - Adam Levy

katt

Good guess Katt but not right.

That was in fact a double clue which you need to think about again, particularly the "....soon to be 14?".

blue

I have paused in my smashing my head against the wall here just so I could make another guess... so without further ado, I will say that it is Steve O’Dwyer. Whaddaya think?

katt

Good try Katt but no.

Does this mean I actually have you stumped, clues and all?

blue

Good try Katt but no.

blue

I'm not stumped until I cry "Uncle"  8) 8'|

katt

Yessssss!  Well done.

Love the third eye too LOL LOL

blue

Thanks blue! That was fun and I could not resist the Third Eye pic! LOL LOL

katt

Well it surely made me giggle Katt.  Thanks for that.

Back to the drawing board for another poker professional then unless you can think of a different kind of puzzle you would prefer?

You have not come up with any I do not like so far (well perhaps the logic one... but don't think I have given up on that!) so puzzle away with whatever occurs to you! You are a gem for doing them at all dear blue!

katt
