WSOP: third first day is down / stupid name for a mause pad

... and right - one more to go.

Being at work, I'm checking live updates every 20 minutes or so, so Poker Disasters will be one of the first places people can know about it! Yeah... big deal...

Anyways, visited the official site of the event and noticed one "really cool" banner with
Jen Harman. So, that is an ad of some sort of mause pad, that you can attach to your chair. Ok - thought is pretty good. But what I find funny about that, it is it's name: "DX Net Pro". Guys, if that's a "Pro" version, what is non-"pro"? You can put the mouso on, but can't move? Or what? It's just I always thought, and still am, that if there is an additional "pro" in thingies name, then there must be a simple version before. Here You can see Jen in most relaxed position ever [according to pad's marketing people].

TPB closes registration

Yep. The one and only ultimate source for all poker - The Poker Bay - has closed registration. I surely am happy for being a part of such marvelous community. I noticed it only now, couse I always stay logged in and rarely see the first page of the site, but, nevertheless, now it's closed.

Meanwhile the Day 1b is over and 1c goes on already. As Pokernews reports, all in all in ME will be "only" 6000 entrants, what is down by the third from previous year's numbers. I really can't say it's something bad or disapointing. For me, simple mortal.

They're both out in Day 1.

Oh. My. God.

Well, I guess I can congratulate You all with beginning of Main Event. Let the rants begin! So, will Gold get to this year's final table, as he had promised? I hope so - that would be more than great for him.

I guess those will be super/uber/totally old news, but I was very pleased to read about Lindgren's prop bet on a golf course. Have no clue about golf whatsoever, but, as I understood, it was one good bet worth 340'000$. Bits of action You can see at RawVegas TV and some discussion over 2+2.

I got through approx. a half of all posts. Sure, I don't read them all, but You got to take some short look on almost any of them at least. So much for fast catching up. At least I have some time to find some girl's photo for you to look at while reading my ramblings [pic from FatBMX].

About experiences at FullTilt - a littlebit later.

Bad things happened, but I am back

Yep!

Sorry for my absence. Was going through terrible times. And still am. As I, being so full of principles, quitted my job, it took a while to find a new one. I was cut off from internet, mobile... and so on. I am still in debt huge way for a rent and landlord wants to kick us out of our flat. And for bonus - the webpage development didn't work - the programmer I found stood me up and now I am an idiot in some people eyes. I don't care about other thoughts in this matter - just there was pretty much money involved. Yes... But, I hope I am back in business. The job offer I took was more from desperation - pay is 25% less, but there are the good things too - free mobile and dinner - guess it summs up to the same. If I hadn't those depts, I would smile right now. At this moment only my stupid optimism keeps me alive.

Poker world? Ha! Deposided 50 bucks at FullTilt [I blew my money at UB long ago - entered some big tournaments in hope of getting rent money]. Nothing much - will start work from the bottom. Again. I heard WSOP has begun?! Wow!

Yesterday I was really afraid to open up the FeedReader... There must be millions of unread posts over there! Yikes! It will take some work.

Missed this all thing. But now I am back. Hungry and poor bastard as I always was and, hopefully, won't be.

*** If You read this, You must send me some good thoughts.

Bitch 2

Why do you want rather go to funeral, not to the wedding?

Couse there's one idiot less.

[or smthn like that]

Another tourney, job search and, of course, some candy

So. Yesterday started playing my usual cash game and something just wasn't right. So why not star my second tourney?! Joined as alternate on 3$ rebuy doublestack [I guess all tourneys at UB are doublestacks]. As I was an alternate, I got to playing only after hour in the game, so I started my 112 players field as a shortstack.

And guess what - 13th! I was very healthy and already saw myself at the final table, but one hand crippled me so much, that I felt I have to do something. My 55 didn't held up against AT and I am out. Profit: none. Lost: nothing.

But still, I feel very proud of myself. The fact, that I finished good in my only two tournaments, is encouraging. Oh, and another thing - I didn't steal at all. At all.

I feel strong temptation to play that tourney today, too.

So, since you've read all this crap about poker, you deserve to take a look to some ladies [couse I feel, "candy" tag doesn't appear here often].

And here is new WPT seasons lineup.

- - - - -

I have left two weeks of work. And I haven't found the job replacement yet. Unfortunately bills will be still coming, so - uhhh - it's hard. I have vacancy as a bartender, but there is so fuckin' money whatsoever. At least not enough - even for plain bill payments. That sucks.

Review: movie "Aces"

My grandmother in the woods are better actress, than people involved in this so called movie. I would be loughing, if not the tears in my eyes.

Major and total crap!

Final Table!

Yeah! Yesterday decided to make a little pause from the cash games, so I headed to "Scheduled tournaments" section. As it was pretty late, the only thing I was ready to pay for was 800$ guaranteed 1 dollar double stack rebuy tournament. It started at 24:00 [by my time].

I played and played, several times got lucky [that specific card DID NOT came] and finished 7th out of 211. Four and a half huors later. Made 32 bucks for my 4$ investment. Was kicked out thanx to donk, who cached miracle. So, as I am happy about my tournament success, I am little disapointed about outcome.

But - YEAH!

My today's 2nd hand

Sorry, have no Photoshop over here - just that stoooopid Paint.

Ohhh. Be smart! Be calm! Quit!

YES! About the same - Terrence Chan, Playboy Mansion and Annie Dguke [interesting]

If You haven't heard about it - you must.

This moutning, while eating breakfast, checked Chans blog once more - wiii, some much more info..

So, if You want to read about how the guy was fucked up at Playboy Mansion, then head over his blog [be sure to scroll down for all the history and read the comments - there are going "official" action on, too].

There is a thread in 2+2 about this matter, too. But there isn't much new or interesting - mostly brags.

I sure hope, You don't have a busy time now, couse this reading is interesting and may take a while.
