Eventually I just gave up. I pm'd Gamble later and asked him, and he just laughed at me and said poker, what else?
That had never even entered my mind. This is why I never posted there or at Skatz. When you're bad at the internet like me, and always think everything is an inside joke or some level and over-think the obvious, I am probably better off in the shallow end of the pool.
