Ten thoughts for today:
1. After staying up way too late last night playing the Mookie and enjoying the goofiness of Live Poker Radio, I am dragging big time today. Any deficiencies in posting (or in my productivity @ work) are going to be blamed entirely on the Full Tilt random number generator.
I'll also be blaming the RNG for the supposed melting of the polar ice caps, the decline of the dollar and the continued existence of Fox News "pundits", among other things. Stupid RNG.
2. I didn't get a chance to mention it in yesterday's post, but I actually had a positive poker-related moment during the workday. I was checking out my bloglines feeds and read that the original A-lister - that's right ladies, the Rooster, your reigning WPBT champion - added me to his blogroll. W00t. Boom, instant boost to the spirits.
3. Speaking of the Rooster, he left a comment on my last post, which basically said 'raise more'. If I have time tonight, I'll cobble something together with the details of my 43 hand super dry spell in the Mookie and we can play "Where would YOU have raised?" I'm not afraid to learn something.
4. The World Series of Poker starts tomorrow. Once again, I won't be playing in it. Or going to Las Vegas. I'm a little sad to be missing on the chance to meet up with invisible internet pals and to gawk at the biggest show in the pokerverse, but that's the way it is. Honestly, I prefer to go in December, and I'm probably more bummed about (most likely) missing Okie-Vegas than I am about not going out to Las Vegas Vegas.
5. I will probably pay some level of attention to what happens at the WSOP via PokerNews, LaunchPoker and some other sources, but I won't be paying all that much attention. I prefer playing over watching/following/rooting.
6. One thing that I really haven't seen at all this year is anyone being staked (fully or partly) into a low buyin WSOP tournament - you know, as a way to help a blogger be able to have their first WSOP experience. I also don't remember reading about too many people planning on playing a series of events and selling a piece of their action.
I wouldn't be in for much either way, but it was nice buying a little action last year in a fellow omatard.
7. I will play in the WSOP myself some day, but it's not a priority. To do so in the forseeable future would probably require either (a) a fluke freeroll in or (b) my winning the lottery.
I crack myself up. Winning at poker or the lottery. Yeah, right.
8. I've never played at Ultimate Bet and haven't played at Absolute in a long time, so I haven't been paying any attention to the current UB superuser/cheating controversy. I'll offer my take though - before playing any game anywhere, you should know a little something about the territory. If anything smells funny, go elsewhere. It's as simple as that.
9. Fearless WSOP prediction: Johnny Chan retakes the all time bracelet lead. I'm not laying any money on it, though.
10. I'll announce the winner of the "Underbetting For Value" contest (scroll down for details) on Monday. You still have time to get your entries in - email me your hand histories plz - and win a freeroll into a cheap-ass blogger donkament.
Riverchasers tonight. I think I saw that it's PLO8, which should be agonizing, especially if it's double stacks.
