I could be f'd....
It look like this year they have put in place a no cursing rule at the tables. I've never seen that done in Poker before. This could be a big problem for me! If you are overheard using the f-word in any capacity you are given a 10 minute timeout and your chips are blinded-off while you are forced to sit out and wait...
In one of the major events a few days ago, the tournament got down to only two players remaining. They were playing for 1/2 million dollars. The player with 4 times as many chips as the other accidentally said the word, and they forced him to sit out and watch while the other player collected the blinds as each hand was dealt for 10 minutes. Amazingly, the player was able to return with enough chips left to still win the tournament.
I'm from New York you know. As David Weinberg has said, the New York alphabet goes F-in A, F-in B, F-in C, ....
Dang!

I've known you for 3 years, and I have never heard you use the "F" word.

Seems like it gives the non-F'n users quite an advantage. I guess one upside is that it creates yet another thing to bet on. I can just hear the announcer calling out the odds on Hilarryous dropp'n a "F" card out of his mouth and being sent to the cooler...

You know, I had the same problem (back in the old days) when I worked as a group home counselor, and had to clean up my language around the kids. I managed, somehow. And if I can do it, ANYONE can do it! Besides, it's not like the stakes aren't high enough to keep you motivated... Best of luck Larry!
