While the DADI event last night was a good time, there's always at least one person who has to be an asshole and screw things up.
At one point in the tournament, a short stacked blogger played the hammer against someone called "Blinders" who claims to be a blogger but I've never heard of him. "Blinders" had KK and the flop had a deuce and an ace in it. Some other bloggers at the table, including me, begged for a seven in the chat. We got our seven on the river, but unfortunately the board paired aces on the turn and the hammer got cracked.
Even though we typed "come on seven" in the chat before the ace came on the turn, it all went by quickly. "Blinders" said "seven wouldn't help you idiot." I'm not sure who he was talking to, since several of us were rooting for the seven. When I pointed out that we said that before the turn paired the board, he replied with "your gay."
What.a.fucking.asshole.
The hammer playing blogger was short stacked, and "Blinders" was leading the table. I'd guess that at least 70% of bloggers would be rooting for the hammer to win in that situation even if THEY were the one with the kings. (We'll call this the Iggy type.) Another 29.9% of bloggers would be rooting for their kings to hold up, but would totally understand that all the other bloggers at the table were rooting for the hammer to suck out, especially when the short stack wouldn't make a dent in his chip stack (We'll call this the SirFWALGMan type.)
That leaves the final one tenth of one percent. This asshole. He can't be satisfied that he is playing a game where someone will willingly risk his entire stack with 72 vs KK. No, this sperm receptacle has to get pissed off when the table roots for the hammer to come through. Then just to top it off, he has to follow it up with the gramatically incorrect and third-grade level insult "your gay."
It's especially stupid to make an asshole out of yourself in a tournament like this when if you win, you'll be playing in a WSOP event that will be attended by ALL THE PEOPLE YOU PISSED OFF. That's a very clever way to get yourself jumped in a parking lot.
I can understand if someone looks at this tournament as a great opportunity to get a seat at the WSOP for $30, but I think that would be an error as there were some pretty fine poker players in that tourney. Like someone said in the Yahoo chat, he played in a Party Poker 50 player WSOP tourney and there were more players out in ten minutes than in the first hour of the blogger tournament.
Don't come to that tournament if you're going to be a fucking asshole like this guy. It's called the "Donkeys Always Draw Invitational" for a reason, moron. These tournaments are all about having fun and bullshitting around with a bunch of bloggers. Unfortunately there always seems to be an buzzkill like this to ruin the fun. If that is the attitude you're going to bring to the tournament, next time please just don't play. You are sincerely NOT WELCOME here.
I've been playing a lot of NL right games and tournaments lately, and often I run into the "action junkies" that are playing every hand, involved in every pot, ramming and jamming. The results of this style play are nearly inevitable, and I've concluded one thing:
If you are playing poker to satisfy your craving for action, you better enjoy the action because that is all you're going to get out of it.
Thanks for the chips.
Last night I was hanging out in chat with a few well known bloggers, when one of them decided to start a new challenge of playing 100 Heads-up matches for profit (details here.)
I decided to watch one of the heads up matches and the opponent was a huge fucking jerk. He started right off by calling the blogger "fag," "bitch," "jew" and "kike." In other words a very classy individual. It should even be noted that he was winning the match when he started this foul tirade. I decided to "participate" with my usual tilting comments like "Aren't you late for a klan meeting?" or "Is it hard to see the cards through those holes in your white hood?" Also very successful were "why do you keep talking about fags, are you looking for a date?" and "Why all the gay talk, did your boyfriend just break up with you?"
There would have been more except that the blogger wasted very little time in reaming him and ending the game. He took his defeat gracefully, with a spewing of profanities specifically designed to evade the word filters of PokerStars.
I guess I got to the guy, because he searched my name and came here to this blog to leave a lovely thank you note in my comments (since deleted.) Even though it was only three words long, he still managed to squeeze in a grammatical error.
And to the horrible playing guy who left the eloquent comment, I only have one thing to say: Thanks for the traffic!
Update: Traffic indeed! I tracked his IP via searches on StatCounter, and the guy stayed and read every one of my poker comics!
One of my all time favorite bloggers, Life's A Grind, requested a banner. This is what I came up with. Go visit his blog by clicking on the banner. He rulez.
In many ways, today is my real first day at work. They guy I'm replacing is gone, his last day was yesterday. It is all up to me now. My lifeboat is gone. Sink or swim. The system is mine. It is endlessly complex, and I think that by the time I have it adequately figured out, they will tear it out and replace everything, which should be in less than a year.
The system is incredibly complex for no reason. There are common systems thoughout the company that I am familiar with, yet they have used a local unique solution in every possible place. I sort of know how it works, but the level of complexity is at least 20 times what is necessary. Every problem, every issue, every question will take hours of digging to find out how things really work. And I feel like I'm dealing with a house of cards that will come crashing down if I breathe on it in the wrong place.
I told you the guy I replaced got the job I was trying to get in Austin Tx. When I interviewed for the job I thought it went really well but they suddenly changed the requirements. When I met the guy and he told me he was getting the job, I was amazed because I didn't think anyone would meet the crazy new requirements, but this guy seemed to fit the bill pretty well. Someone speculated in comments that they probably tailored the requirements to meet a specific person they wanted to hire. I thought it was really odd that the requirements changed so drastically, and the skills they wanted were strangely specific, but I didn't want to leap to any conclusions.
Yesterday I found out that the guy that was doing the job search is THE BROTHER of the guy I replaced here that they hired. Uh, yeah. I think he may have had someone specific in mind when he came up with those crazy requirements. I wish if they were pulling shit like that they wouldn't waste everyone else's time and energy and just hire the motherfucker they want to hire. They might have well added that the candidate they are looking for is Turkish and has a stutter. Then this guy is the only one who would have bothered to apply.
Sorry for the long and pointless post yesterday....while it may have looked like I was just pimping the Poker Comic archives, I was actually trying to clean up my template a little bit. Listing every comic in the right hand column was getting to be annoying because it was so long and having to update every page in the blog every week was getting time prohibitive. You know that part when you republish and it says "If you have a large blog this may take several minutes..."? They are NOT kidding! Republishing this blog, depending on the connection, can take a good chunk of time.
So I put the archives in a post, which can be updated easily by editing the post, and linked to it in the archive spot. The "click here" part looks retarded, I know. I need to come up with something better, I just wasn't in the creative mood. Also, every time I edit the archives post I guess it will show up in bloglines, which will get annoying for those folks that read through there. Is there a way to stop that?

I had a great weekend of poker, pushing my bankroll over another plateau that I have been working on for a while. My PLO8 game had gotten a bit stale, meaning that I wasn't playing with the patience that the game requires. That means LOSSES! So I switched to the NLHE tables for a while on Full Tilt. Table after table of push monkeys! Why raise $8 pre flop when you can push in with $90 to try and win those $3 in blinds? Especially when you're holding Ace-Ten? It makes sense when you think about it. Why play No Limit if you're not going to take advantage of being able to put all your money in by PUTTING ALL YOUR MONEY IN PRE-FLOP AS OFTEN AS YOU CAN. We need some kind of hybrid word for these Push-monkey/donkeys. PMDs? 
But much more importantly I witnessed a masterful poker performance by the one and only Veneno. I tuned in as she was nearing the money in an MTT at Poker Stars with 944 victims. I rang her in chat and she told me it was her last bit of money on Stars and that if she didn't cash here she was not going to re-deposit. So I cheered her on as she made the money, tore her way up to third in chips, patiently waited at the final table until the big stack took out all the other players, then methodically bestowed this guy a new rectum when they got heads-up. This poor guy has no idea what hit him. He probably thought he had first place wrapped up when he got heads-up with a HUGE chip advantage, but he hardly had a chance.
Tomorrow is another travel day, back to Tennessee. It's been a nice relaxing weekend as Easter is not a big holiday at the Bogey household. I never did understand how someone who can't be killed, died, then came back, but then didn't stay. If he was dead, where did he go? Don't dead people go to heaven? Isn't that where he went? So the celebration is that he's alive, but he's in heaven, where he would be if he was dead? It's all so confusing. That's the way he rolls I guess. Whatever. Anyway, I hope you all had a fun Pagan Rabbit/Egg Hiding Day.
Yesterday was a travel day, Nashville to Dallas back to Oklahoma City. Dwight Yoakam was on the plane from Nashville to Dallas, about three rows up across the aisle from me. Some weird looking grey haired dude wearing a "Harley Davidson" T-shirt was sitting next to him, looking very odd in first class.
Other than that the trip was boring. I tried to watch a movie on my computer during my layover in Dallas, but somehow the 3 hour layover wasn't long enough to watch a 2 hour movie. Maybe "The Great Raid" is longer than 2 hours. Or maybe I shouldn't have stopped for fast food chinese first. What kind of chinese restaurant runs out of rice? I've never heard of such a thing. That was an error in judgement.
So I'm home in OKC for Easter weekend, and then it's back to Tennessee on Tuesday for work and house hunting. We have picked out a few from the internet to look at. I will check them out, but I can't get an agent yet until a lot of paperwork is done at work. I feel kind of like a perv, lurking about checking out locations. But at least I will be able to tell an agent specifically where I want to go. Because you shouldn't make them work any harder than they have to for their scary huge comissions.

Funny part is, I rarely get search engine hits for Shana Hiatt, but I get tons of hits from Shanna Hiatt, Shawna Hiatt and Shana Hyatt. Especially ones with the words "naked" or "nude" attached. Lately I have been getting hits for the word "pichers" too. I guess this place is really a haven for illiteracy.
Anyway, if a search for Shanna, Shawna or Shana Hiatt brought you here, enjoy!

The Country is infested with Poker Bloggers.
First it was Kansas City. I wasn't even a blogger yet just a lowly forum poster, but I found out about a poker blogger and fellow poster named Life's A Grind who lived in the same town as me. I eventually met him on a Poker Cruise and we had a blast.
When I moved to Oklahoma City and began blogging properly, I met the lovely and talented Maudie from Poker Perspectives. She was as sweet as can be, funny and interesting. Soon after I met GCox25 from Low Limit Grinder, a very cool guy who invited me to several home games and other events. It never worked out that I could attend because my work schedule was so wacky, but he always accepted my refusals with aplomb. The time we did play together was nothing but enjoyable.
On a random trip to Las Vegas, I had the pleasure of running into Pauly and Felicia. While I didn't spend nearly as much time with them as I would have liked, they were very gracious and seemed genuinely pleased to meet me.
Suddenly I was away from Oklahoma City searching for a new job, and I found myself in Lansing Michigan, and even though I was there for only three weeks total, I got invited to a day of poker and ponies with Boy Genius from Random Thoughts and Thoroughbred Selections and THG from Res Ipsa Poker. It didn't work out that I wound up in Lansing, but if I had it made me feel really great that there were some kindred spirits up there.
So here I am in beautiful Tennessee for less than a week, and I have already been welcomed by several folks by email and I hope to meet some of them very soon.
Blogging may be gay, but sometimes it is really fucking cool too.
I've made my commitment to move to Spring Hill Tennessee and take a permanent position. We've started the transfer paperwork and the relocation process. The relocation is the painful part.
To celebrate, we had tornadoes come through the area. There was no wind damage, but golf ball-sized hail damaged every single car parked in the lot. Thousands of cars have hail damage to the hoods and roofs, many have cracked windshields. We hid in tornado shelters for about an hour as the storms passed through. My rental car looks like a pincushion on the hood, roof and decklid. (Decklid is what geeky car manufacturing types call your trunk cover. Remind me later to tell you what a "Plenum" is.) The entire employee parking lot looks like a giant beer cooler.
So I'll have to call the rental car company in Nashville and see what they want me to do. They may want the car back right away, or they may want me to drive it until I was supposed to. I'm not sure if I'll be forced to drive around the thousand-dent car for another week, but a lot of people around here will be driving one around for a lot longer than that.
At some point you realize that hitting the snooze button and getting that extra nine minutes of sleep isn't going to help much when you didn't go to bed until 4am and the alarm went off at 7.
I stayed up way too late playing online poker, and I really should know better than to start a tournament so late when if you make the final table it is going to make you beg for merciful death the next day at work. Yet it's almost a guaranteed way to make a final table. Even when you get it all in on the bubble shortstacked with AQ vs Mr. Giant Stack's AK, if staying up later will make you miserable the next day, that miracle queen will come on the river. At least it did for me.
Fellow bloggers are no help either, especially those who don't have to get up for work the next day. They are the enablers. You know who you are. How do you get 25 professional poker players into a phone booth? Toss a black chip in there. How do you get them out? Toss in a bar of soap. Nyah Nyah.

So yesterday I'm hanging out with some of my brand new coworkers and I ask the question "so where is (the guy I'm replacing) going? I know he's leaving the company, but what company is he going to work for?"
They said "He got a really great opportunity he couldn't turn down. In AUSTIN TEXAS."
A light bulb went off. "I know exactly what job he is taking, and I know exactly WHY he is taking it."
Yes, this is the guy they hired for the job I wanted in Austin. The good news is this guy actually fulfills a lot of the unreasonable requirements they added to the job. The bad news is that this guy is a piece of work, in that Mad Scientist "Professor Farnsworth" kind of way.
It worked out well for me in the end, just not in a way I imagined. I don't get the Austin job, as lucrative as it is, but I get a fantastic opportunity within my own company when the guy they actually hire leaves a void that absolutely terrifies management. Expectations are much lower (so is the pay, unfortunately) but it's a situation I am much more comfortable with. Now I can dazzle them with my brilliance.
Oh, and I can wear jeans to work every day.
Life is good.
Sunday at 2am I'm in Lansing Michigan, and Eastern Standard Time changes to Eastern Daylight Time, so the clocks go ahead an hour. Six hours later I head for the Airport and back to Oklahoma City via Detroit, where I set the clock right back again to Central Daylight time.
Thirteen hours after my flight lands I go back to the airport to jet to Nashville via Dallas. What the hell time is it here? Same as OKC, apparently, but none of the clocks at the hotel have been reset yet. I literally have to stare at a clock for a bit just to try and figure out what time it is where. Especially when talking to someone on Pacific time.
On my first trip to Lansing I missed my XM Radio so much I brought my Roady2 with me on the second trip. This time it's built into the rental car, a Chevy Impala. It's about time I started rending GM cars to drive to GM plants. Last two were both Nissans, and I took some crap for it.
For anyone travelling via the OKC airport (Hey, I thought of another airport that has the same name as a guy who died in a plane crash....JFK....it wasn't named after JFK Jr., but hey...) if you're in a hurry and you can't wait in the line for security, just go into the bathroom right next to the security station on the right side. When you come out, just walk to the right and you'll be directed down a hallway to the additional security stations. Just a little travel tip from a suddenly frequent flyer.
American Airlines this time....the Poker Players' choice. AA, the only way to fly. My goal is to have just enough frequent flyer miles on each airline so that I'll never actually get anything for free. So far I have a round trip and a half on united, Half a trip on Northwest Air, and half a trip on American. Plus a cancelled reservation on Delta. If I work it just right, I can do the same deal with hotel stays. The only thing I've done consistently is car rentals, and I didn't join their club for the $50 fee. I think I would have made the $50 back in free stuff by now too.
The Dallas Airport is really nice. Cool tram between terminals, and when I got off the plane I was thirsty and I spied a Pepsi Machine. No Diet Mountain Dew, but 20oz bottles were only a buck. In an airport! I couldn't resist and I was parched, so I got a diet pepsi. Every single machine I saw after that had Diet Dew in it.
All the TVs in the Dallas airport were tuned to Headline News. When a news report came on about a study about how poorly customer satisfaction was with airlines these days, the channel suddenly changed to CNN. Unfortunately for them the same story came on CNN ten minutes later.
I had some time in Dallas so I checked out the duty free. They had liter bottles of SoCo for $17. If I had any way to get it on the plane, I would have bought one and drank it here in Nashville.
The idea of SoCo brings me back to my first attempt to attend college. I was old enough to buy beer (That kinda gives away my age. I got ID'd for cigarettes once, and I replied "Back when I was too young to buy cigarettes, there was no age limit for cigarettes!" ) but I had a fake ID from D.C. that said I was 21, so I could by hard liquor. I was "the source" at my dorm in South Dakota, where it was against state law to have alcohol on campus. I'm pretty sure I made "double secret dormitory probation" before I dropped out. This will make Al cringe fo sure...I liked to drink SoCo and Mountain Dew. Hey, it can't be any worse than "SoCo Lime" that is all the rage now. Plus you can do some extreme skateboarding whilst drunk off your ass.
Whee!
I would appreciate your help again in all of my upcoming Heads Up events. And in winning a WSOP seat!!! You are the Best!
--Veneno
Yesterday was a wild mess. I had to finish my work here in Lansing, but they need me as soon as possible in Spring Hill. I finally talked to someone there, and they want me fast. So I need to get back to OKC this weekend and fly to Nashville on Monday. I made a flight reservation for OKC for Saturday morning at 6am, but that became more and more unworkable when I missed the Car Rental agency closing and I still had to get my stuff together. Not to mention that the flight would be about an hour from NOW.
I couldn't really go straight to Tennessee from Michigan because I brought jeans and stuff for a construction environment, and I'm sure they're expecting business casual in Spring Hill.
So I changed my flight from Saturday to Sunday. At first I balked because Delta wanted over $1000 to fly on Sunday, but NorthWest will do it for less than my Saturday flight. Go NorthWest Air! Less than $300 for a flight at a more convenient time anyway.
That gives me Saturday to get my crap together here and Sunday to get it together again to head for Tennesse early on Monday. I'm excited about the whole deal.
I may be a little bit over-sensitive. I've gotten so used to being disappointed lately that when I hear the first negative thing I assume it's true and start pouting.
I called a guy I know in Spring Hill and the guy they had in mind for the job there said, and I quote, "No fucking way." So it looks like I am headed to Spring Hill on Monday. It looks like they are so scared they have offered me the job sight unseen. I'm sure they checked up on me. Either that or those small alterations to my Resume really worked.
That's one of the reasons for my initial frustrations, however. The systems I work on are practically HATED by most right thinking programmer/engineers. It's a beast, I admit. But it's MY beast. I've been with it since it's development, and probably have more experience with it than all but a dozen people on the planet. I know brilliant programmers who are absolutely TERRIFIED of working on the systems I happily seek to work on. My rationalization is that I should be able to write my own ticket because of this. The world just doesn't work that way.
I'm kind of ashamed of the pity party I tossed for myself in the last post. I got some incomplete information that was only slightly negative, and I immediately took it as fact. I have been in such a negative frame of mind lately that I am willing to give up on things instantly, even if there's still a chance. That's a bad way to be. I'm usually a pretty optimistic person, and I never had any doubt that I would land somewhere and be fine. I just blistered at the lack of control I was having over my destiny. In my world I should be able to call someone up and say "I'm available so you should hire me" and their response should be "holy shit, really? When can you be here?"
Since that is basically the reaction I am having now, I shouldn't be such a negative piss-ant. I should be counting my blessings.
So just when I've resigned myself to moving to Michigan, perhaps even looking forward to ending all the stress of trying to find a place to land, something stirs the whole mess up again, and I get excited about another possibility.
When I arrived in Lansing on Monday one of the leader muckety-mucks asked me if I'd consider moving to Spring Hill Tennessee, as he thinks they have an urgent need there and I'd be an ideal fit. I try to hide at least some of my excitement as there are plenty of people around who think Lansing is heaven on earth and that ground just isn't normal if it's not covered in perma-frost.
I reply that I am definitely interested and he takes it upon himself to clear it with those that want my services in Michigan. To my surprise they approve the activity and I'm beginning to feel like I've gotten a suspended sentence.
Then out of nowhere I get the news that the position may already be filled. What? I didn't even get a chance to interview for this position that's been described as something I may be "uniquely qualified" for? Maybe the Michigan folks shot me down via back channels, or maybe there was someone in the pipeline already that I wasn't aware of.
I know of at least one person in the company working against me and my efforts to move to Kansas City. If he doesn't cool it, I may need to solve my problem with him via the "lime and a shovel" method.
I'm tired of getting my hopes up for situations that seem perfect but for some outside reasons don't work out. I need to go back to being frustrated from poker, not frustrated from EVERYTHING else in my life.

I spent the morning reading blogs, but not through bloglines like I normally do. I'm looking for changes in the sites I normally read.
What I've noticed is a few PSO advertisements popping up and I'm really happy to see them. PSO has launched their new site, and has made the decision to embrace blogs as a marketing opportunity.
PSO has always been a great affiliate opportunity, although affiliate deals are a dime a dozen these days. But these new ads for PSO are pre-paid advertising. This is a much better deal for those of us who work hard on our blogs and take pride in the content and the appearance.
If you're like me, you get an email every other day from a "potential advertiser" who really just wants you to put up an affiliate link. Opportunities like this from PSO aren't nearly as common. Pre-paid avertising is much more preferred, for obvious and not-so obvious reasons.
I hope everyone that gets an offer from PokerSource takes advantage of it. It's really a win/win/win situation. The bloggers win because they get a little cash for all their blogging work, PSO wins because they will pick up some new customers, and the customers win because they get associated with the best poker bonus resource on the internet.
Sometimes I am very hindered by my deficiencies. When I made my plans for my next two weeks in Lansing Michigan, I was hindered by my inablility to read a calendar.
I mistakenly made my reservations for three weeks instead of two. In my defense my trip got approved at the very last minute and I made my reservations very quickly.
Now I have to decide between staying in Michigan for an extra week (actually four days since the Easter holiday falls in the last week) or to change my travel plans. Luckily I realized it before I took too few clothes...I won't be desperately searching the streets of Lansing for a coin laundry. I know it would score big points with the "powers that be" in Lansing if I stayed the extra week.
My hopes of moving to Kansas City have basically been dashed. The job I was hoping to get didn't materialize. The only remaining chance is a guy there who is thinking about moving. He has an interview at the end of the month in Baltimore, and he might move there to be closer to his wife, who works in DC. Like a friend of mine said, it should be a "no brainer," but the term "no brainer" only seems to apply to people at my company, not their actions. Anyway if he decides to move, I can apply for his job. If I get it, I can move to Kansas City. That's just too many ifs for me, and I told the Lansing folks that I'd have a decision for them by now. So Friday I told them I was willing to commit to moving to the great state of Michigan. Weather be damned.
I fly tomorrow, so the rest of the day will be spent packing, for three weeks instead of two now. Good thing my suitcase expands.
The first one I did for vegaas was kind of fruity, so I decided to try again...
And this is kinda funny, if you are in on the joke...
I'll be heading out to the Newcastle Gaming Center tonight to play some Live Pokah....if I'm really lucky the lovely and talented Maudie will be there to watch me donk away my chips....
Fire me a gmail if you want to use it, I'll give ya the full size version and instructions on how to install it if you need em.
Some people might prefer this alternate version for Guin's...
I'm an alternate in the HUC3 tournament tonight at Full Tilt Poker. All the spots are full, but there are some SNGs set up for those that bust out early, and the railbirding should be a good time.
If you're bored and you want to see some blogger-on-blogger one-on-one action, Full Tilt is the place to be tonight.

I haven't talked about Poker Source Online in a while so I thought I'd give an update.
I haven't done a promotion in a while at PSO and a lot of the regular users haven't either, mostly because they've done all the promotions PSO offers already. It's a common complaint "What do I do now?" after all promotions are completed.
Even if you don't do the promotions at PSO, there's still a lot going on, and if you were clever enough to join a Frequent Flopper Program you are basically always completing a promotion. Sometimes when I hear the amount of rakeback these Frequent Floppers receive, it makes my head spin. PSO still frequently hosts freeroll tournaments, and the league has an incredible amount of overlay ($10K for ten $5+$.50 tournaments!)
Even more encouraging is the way that PSO is beginning to embrace blogs as a medium of advertising. Some of their recent giveaways have been aimed towards blogs and bloggers, and they are sponsoring a blogger tournament in the near future that could have a prize of $25K if enough bloggers join the tourney.
Currently PSO is in the middle of a large site redesign, and I expect after that is complete there will be a lot of action over at PSO, and I think those of you with blogs will be in a position to benefit greatly from their continued generosity.
Just because a quote from you appears in a "You might be a donkey if" column, it doesn't mean you are a donkey. I know for sure that people's quotes have appeared here who AREN'T Donkeys. I'm sure if I read through my entire blog, I could find plenty of quotes from myself that are things that a Donkey might say.
Anyway, here's a few more goodies:
You Might Be A Donkey If you've ever said the following things in your blog:
I have decided to become one of those guys that makes a living playing on-line poker. Uh oh, danger Will Robinson...lots of people think you have to earn your way to become a pro, not just "decide."
I’ve seen the film Rounders with Matt Damon more times than I care to remember. Hmmm....definitely required criteria to become a pro...
My decision to go pro comes after losing my last dollar online yesterday. Wooh! This might go on the list as the WORST reason to become an online pro....I can't come up with something worse.
I am now 36 years old. Yes that’s correct 36 years old; broke and living with my Dad. You may not want to become a pro just because you don't have any other options.
I’m not a complete idiot. I have a University degree in Engineering. Maybe not complete, but you definitely have some partial idiocy going on."
Okay, this guy isn't really a donkey. I had high hopes after reading his first post that he'd be some great material, but he seems to have a pretty good head on his shoulders....but some of these comments in his first post make me want to weep.
It also felt good to just get knocked out of the tourney regular, and not be sucked out on like usual. It felt good? You must feel good all the time then.
I've got a bible on my table, and I've got a cross with my Savior on it right next to my wood stove. Why don't you take up Morman or some other stupid shit. In my experience, if you want people to respect your religion, it's not best to shit on everyone else's."
This would put me at my final goal of playing $1000 and higher by next winter. Even if you only make half your stack at these tables that's $500. And if you multiply $500 by 300 you get $150,000. I love a plan that includes ZERO losing days in an entire year.
After those beats I decided to play a sit and go. I stepped up to a $50 +5 which is one or two levels higher than I play. The pros agree, when you are on a losing streak, the best thing to do is to STEP UP from your usual levels.
So, the poker took a dive last night, and that usually means a big win is around the corner. Or it just means you are a shitty player who didn't get lucky last night. Same difference.
This guy definitely is a donkey, and I can count on at least one donkey-like statement from each one of his posts. To quote Felicia Lee:Losers usually talk about how much they win, or how great they play. Winners usually say nothing, or downplay their ability.
Sure, there is a time and a place when good or great players should actually brag about their ability, but for the most part, they don't, and they shouldn't.
All this guy does is brag on himself, not only how he's the greatest poker player on earth, but the greatest PERSON on earth. His cluelessness knows no bounds.
This is no longer a poker blog. It's a poker blog blog. That is to say I don't seem to write about poker anymore.
All I write about is blogging about poker. I blog about other blogs, I blog about blogger chats, I blog about blogger's banners. Granted all those other blogs are poker blogs, so it's still REMOTELY related to poker, but just barely.
And I have no problem with this. Guys like the "Poker Chimp" think it's easy give out "poker tips" that are original and well thought out. That just proves how fucking stupid they are. If that Chimp ever comes up with anything that is 10% as insightful as this from the REAL Poker Shark then I'll surely die of a heart attack. I just don't have that good of a poker strategy post in me. Let's see if the Chimp is still putting out monster strategies like "play within your bankroll" and "never give up" after two years.
Speaking of blogging about blogging and Sharks, a blogger friend of mine had a problem with "The Shark Army" or the "Shark Poker Tour" or some such douchebag. My friend participated in a "link exchange" with said "Shark" and lived to regret it. When they tried to leave a comment inviting him or his "army" to participate the upcoming Heads Up Challenge (Which I am way behind in pimping, sorry) he jumped all over their shit about "spamming his comments." Here is how I replied to my friend who asked me what to do:
The guy is a douchebag and I wouldn't worry about him.I'm sorry if I offended some of the people who have requested link exchanges with me, and hopefully if you were good guys I at least posted about you.
I really don't do "link trades." They are bullshit. Especially when you have a not-for-profit blog and you are trading with a for profit blog. That's ridiculous. You are basically giving him money and he's giving you nothing.
Link trades are all generally bullshit anyway. Someone is always getting screwed. Whenever someone asks me for a link trade, I always say the same thing "We'll see." If I feel like it I take a look at their blog, and if they are providing SOMETHING worthwhile, I'll link them. If they are just a banner farm, or not posting anything interesting, or are brand new, I don't link them.
Almost everyone that asks me for a link trade is a new blogger. While it's nice to link some new bloggers, most new bloggers post for a few months and disappear. How is it fair to exchange a link on a blog that has lots of hits in exchange for one that has almost none, and will probably go away in a few months anyway? I might mention them in a post, but they don't get a permanent link until they've earned it.
The way I see it, a link is an ENDORSEMENT. It says "I read this because it's interesting and has something worth my time, and maybe it will be worth yours." If you just link every blog you've ever heard of, you are devaluing your power to endorse. You're basically giving away your integrity.
Don't trade links with douchebags like this. You'll be happier, trust me.
Just so you guys know that if you ask for a banner, I'm not necessarily going to pick on you, I did three more yesterday:
I don't charge for these banners, so it helps your chances if my blog is mentioned in your links somewhere.
Update: One more, and bear in mind that I am a DIE HARD Yankees fan:

Keep those banner requests coming! I aims to please!
Seriously, I got a very polite email from someone called "dornie" from Arkansas Poker asking for a banner. Now I like to read the sites, hoping to find some info about it so I can come up with something personalized. I see the "gohogs" and the Arkansas, so I find a nice Razorbacks logo....but as I read on there's a post about how someone is happy that they can refer to "fags" as brokeback now.
What kind of intolerant bullshit is that? First of all, "Brokeback Mountain" has been out for like six months, and this guy is just NOW making "brokeback" jokes? Maybe it takes six months for any pop culture to get to Arkansas? Being happy about finding another way to be a bigot isn't exactly the way to encourage me to help you with the look of your blog, dude.
One good side effect of traveling is that it gave me a lot of time to play poker without the interruptions of having a life. After you've gotten your meals taken care of, there's not a lot to do on the road except watch TV, read or play poker.
I did the latter.
After stepping up to the $200 PLO8 tables, things have been fantastic. The move up wasn't really by choice as I had the bulk of my bankroll on Full Tilt and they didn't have a $100 PLO8 game going my first couple of nights I was there. I reluctantly switched to Party and played $100 because it was a more comfortable level for me, but eventually I returned to Full Tilt and took the $200 plunge. And what a plunge it was. The players weren't a bit better than the $100 or $50 level. Still overplaying AA, playing A2 completely ovbiously and usually with no counterfeit protection. The best thing about the $200 level is that when you quarter someone, the pot is still huge by comparison. At the lower levels it seems like when you quarter someone, most of the profit is eaten up by the rake. Sometimes you need a little nudge to play higer limits, and once you get there you're thinking "what took me so long?"
I actually almost missed the DADI event last night because I was involved in too many PLO8 tables. I'm trying to multi-table in PLO8, but it requires much more concentration than multi-tabling Hold em tables, at least for me. Luckily I remembered a few minutes before the DADI event started, and got in.
My first table was fun, with Garth and Fluxer, and eventually surflexus. The fun of these tournaments is throwing around chips, not caring about the small buy-in. I managed to win one hand with the hammer, but Garthmeister managed to one-up me and win two. I did suckout on Fluxer when he put me all in holding big slick, and I called with 87s. The flop had two eights and I think I tilted Fluxer bad. Which is the point of these tournaments. If I can tilt one player, I'm happy.
Some Chimpanzees don't get the fact that these small buy-in tournaments are for fun. The Poker Chimp even criticized Joe Speaker for playing the HAMMER! Talk about not getting it. That Chump just folded every hand until he was short stacked, then went all in with AQ vs KK and got knocked out. Woohoo! That retarded redneck really knows how to have a good time! That dumb as a rock strategy might work at the nickel-dime tables against your trailer trash buddies, but when you're against real players you're not going to get very far with it. I'm sure he went back to his blog to dispense more tips on how to be racist and beat up women. Stuff he knows.
Wow, do I suck as a pimp. I assume most people reading this blog already know about all the DADI and WPBT events that are going on, but that's still no excuse for not pimping them. 
Last night there was a WPBT circuit event, PLO at Poker Stars. PLO is really not my game as much as PLO8, and the differences are amazing. I struggled all night trying to figure out a good starting hand besides AAxx. I played one hand a total chicken-shit with KKxx, because of my insecurity. I ended up 13th or so out of 56 players, so I didn't shame myself, but I really didn't like the way I played a few hands, and I did get a couple of suckouts to make it that far.
Tonight is another DADI event, here is a cool banner advertising it. It's a short-handed event, so six people per table. BlogsAreGay is the password. $10+1 is a good price, anybody who can't afford it shouldn't be playing anyway. Most of the WPBT folks prefer $20 buy-ins or higher, but the DADI folks like the cheaper, more inclusive buy-ins. I tend to favor the DADI crowd.
I'm not crazy about the short-handed format. I like to think I can make adjustments to short tables, but short to me means three or four players, not six. It's just out of my comfort zone. I end up playing my 10-person strategy, and that's not quite right for a table of six. There is pleny of opportunity to practice as every online site offers six-max tables now, but I just haven't done the work. So I will end up being over-aggressive or too tight or some other extreme that will screw me over in the tourney.
At least I know I will be able to give a lot of crap to the players that do better than me, both in the table chat and in the yahoo chat that's sure to occur. I know some of those bastards are six-max pros, and I need to come up with a plan of assault that will give my insults the most effectiveness.
Some people prepare for poker tournaments by getting their game ready. I prefer to prepare by loading up on the insults, and dishing them out like monkeys hurl poo.
My flight back to Oklahoma from Lansing SUCKED. My connection in Chicago was delayed an hour while they fixed the backup generator. After an hour of flying, the generator failed again, so we had to turn around and fly back to Chicago. We sat in the airport for hours (although I had a nice conversation and a good gyros on a pita) while they tried to fix the plane. Before midnight they finally gave up and put us on another plane, arriving in OKC after 1am.
I slept most of Saturday after the long travel day, and didn't even get to play a hand on Saturday.
But Sunday weak_player popped up on my IM and invited me to play in a double stack tournament on Full Tilt, the $8500 guarantee. Blinds go up normally but you start with double the normal amount of chips. That didn't stop two players from getting knocked out on the very first hand. I bet those guys are glad they took advantage of the bigger stacks.
I held on and held on and made the money after a couple of hours. Weak_player got in too. He went out when the chip leader at his table limped in front of him. He went all in with 88 and the limper called with TT. I don't understand this play. It's not like TT is a hand you want to slow play, but if you are going to call an all in for nearly half your chips, isn't it a hand you'd like to raise? King Lucky keeps telling me not to try and figure out the donkeys online, and he's probably right.
I ended up in 11th place out of 505 when my AK lost to AQ. I flopped a king, but he turned a straight. I was severely short stacked by that time anyway.
It was great fun playing and chatting with you weak. Thanks for the invite! $24+2 buy-in nets $133.32
Lansing airport has free wireless internet. Free wireless internet rules. Up till now I was playing low limit PL08 at Full Tilt killing time waiting for my flight. Why doesn't everywhere have free wireless internet?
I'm off to Chicago in half an hour, then to OKC for two weeks, probably. I got an email from a boss that wanted to talk about whether I had made the decision to move to Michigan or not, and what other offers I was considering. I tried to call him back four times over 3 hours but never got through.
My plan was to explore any "other offers" next week and make a decision then, so not being able to get ahold of him might be a blessing. I'll reply that I couldn't get ahold of him and that I'll call him on Monday, conveniently AFTER I've explored my other possibilities.
I really like Michigan and the potential here is very high. But the reality right now is very low. All the work is being done outside the plant in a trailer while construction goes on. The trailer is a good half mile from the plant, which requires many walks back and forth carrying all manner of computer equipment. With the weather lately, the trailer sits in a lot with many other trailers, affectionately called "trailer city." The lot is essentially a mudhole. Wading through ankle deep mud several times a day lugging a ton of safety gear and computer equipment doesn't appeal to me as a prospect for the next 6-8 months. After that it will conceivably be smooth sailing, but that could get very tiresome in the near future.
I have some very important decisions to make, and I don't have a great deal of confidence in any of them. But I guess when there's no right decision, you can't make a mistake, right?
I want to personally thank all the bloggers who kept me entertained the last two weeks with the chat rooms and tournaments. Being stuck in a hotel room in a strange city isn't so bad when you can listen to your friends scream in agony over bad beats. I especially want to thank those who participated in the especially stimulating chat sessions. You really know how to have fun. Thanks!
My favorite part of the Barry Bonds story so far is how he originally got his steroids by buying them from Bay Area AIDS patients who had them legally prescribed but sold them to Bonds because they needed the money. San Francisco was obviously the best place for ol' Barry.
There may not have been a rule in baseball against steroids at the time, and while there's certainly no shortages of scumbags in the sport, buying drugs from dying people that need them seems like it should carry some kind of severe penalty, even if just karmically.
I don't think there's ever been this combination of horrible person, horrible media relations and horrible teammate combination in an athlete before.
Ironically, Barry Bonds was easily headed to Cooperstown before he started using steroids. He was a 40-40 superstar. But his need to be bigger (both literally and figuratively) than McGuire and Sosa may have actually cost him his chance to be inducted into the Hall.

One thing that was really interesting to me while listening to the other bloggers in chat the other night was hearing TraumaPoker repeatedly say "I suck" and "I'm the worst player at this table." It was a weird contradiction to how he used to act in his blog. Lately he seems to have reversed his opinion. Indicentally, I'm really glad he ditched that retarded "100-2-Infiniti" name, or whatever it was. Was he supposed to start playing poker with $100, and eventually buy an Infiniti with the money? Anyway, I digress. Trauma ended up being a pretty hilarious guy. Join the chat sometime and you'll see. The trash talk between he and SirWaffles is absolutely precious.
Then I started thinking about the phrase "You suck at poker." (With a nudge from Double As.) It really doesn't mean anything. The person who says it really can't know your game that well, unless he's been watching you for a long time. And reading your mind.
If someone tells you "You suck at poker" you can basically do one of three things.
1) Consider the source. If the person has no clue about poker, then his comment might not mean anything. You could do copious amounts of research, investigating their history and watching hands they play for the next few months. Unfortunatley it's usually just a person who is trying to get under your skin, and raise your insecurity about your game. If need you defend yourself, perhaps by saying "There's no way on earth I could possibly suck, because I win money playing," then you obviously have been affected by the criticism.
2) Actually, deep down agree with the source. You can choose to get angry about it or choose to accept it, but if you do indeed feel that you suck at poker, you may think the source is correct. I'm not sure why someone would do this and keep playing, but I know they're out there.
3) The only actually reasonable choice: Ignore the source. They don't know the first thing about your poker game. Maybe they saw you overplay some shitty hand, so they think you suck. They don't know the situation. Maybe you were just fucking around, playing way below your normal limits and trying to tilt some folks. Maybe you decided randomly to make a play and ran into a big hand or a calling station. Maybe you just fucking like playing 73off because your birthday is July 3rd. Who the fuck knows?
So maybe it is just a good strategy? If you want to know if someone sucks, just pre-emptively accuse them of being a player who is "teh suck." If they defend themselves, then obviously they don't have any real confidence in their game. If they laugh and say "indeed," you know you're dealing with a player who knows not only about poker, but about how to play the game.
Since it was SirFWALGMan's birthday, I signed up to honor him. But the tournament was automatically voided because of a server crash at Full Tilt Poker. It's pretty incredible that the bloggers can get the tournament transferred to PokerStars and still get 26 people to join in.
Of course I had to be the first out. In my defense I only made one mistake in the hand, playing the suited hammer instead of the hammer. Anyway, SteelerJosh cracked my hammer with AK. Another freaking suckout. Truthfully I should have just called his re-raise and pushed on the flop and he would have probably folded when Big Slick missed. I didn't like the idea of playing two tournaments at once, and I had Poker Source Online's Poker League to play in, basically at the same time.
Unfortunately I didn't fare well in the PSO game either, as I cold called a small raise from the BB with AJ. Flop came AJT and my opponent bet out small. I raised and he flat called. Turn was a blank so I pushed, and he insta-called with TT and I didn't river an Ace or a Jack. At least I had four outs. I'm sure there's a way to get away from that hand, but I didn't have it in me.
As I was watching the ENDLESSLY fascinating Blogger Game continue, I see an ad for a $.10 tournament on PokerStars. I really never played very much on PokerStars, outside of Blogger tourneys or the one Wil Wheaton event I played. Since the bloggers in chat seem to play a lot on there, I took a look around. They have the SMALLEST games I have ever seen. $.01/$.02 PLO8? Incredible. I donked it up there for a while and I think I lost 200 big blinds....$4! It was fun making dumb bluffs at other bloggers. But who can turn down a $.10 tourney? Thousands and thousands of entries, and I had a blast donking it up there too. Eventually I busted on some crazy hand, and I didn't find out this morning that I was WELL into the money, and actually tripled my buy in! Woohoo! That's twenty cents profit baby!
Anyway, this week should be filled with lots of blogger insanity, both in chat and at the tables. There will be MTTs, SNGs and of course some more heads up affairs with Ms. Poison herself! I can barely wait!
I had my cherry broken a lot this weekend. Coming up to Michigan has exposed me to a lot of new things.
***I had my first heads-up challenge against Veneno. I took the lead in the first match, but she quickly overcame and took me out. She wanted to play another one right away. I'm telling you, that girl is insatiable. So we played another one. It ended poorly for me as I slow played my Aces. By the turn her 42o was Twos full of fours, but she improved on the river to Fours full of twos. Yes, that's right, my crummy little pair of aces lost to a pair of trips.
I did manage to exact some revenge the following night, but she was severly handicapped by some strange mango liqueur and tequila mixture. I highly reccomend it for your heads-up opponents. Well, I also recommend cracking her aces with 75s. I was open ended on the flop and rivered a four. So our match total is 2 for her, 1 for me. But I have a feeling that lovely girl hasn't had enough of me yet.
***Saturday brought the first time I met a Michigan Blogger. I met two, in fact. I traveled 90 miles to Muskegon Michigan and Great Lakes Downs. I was worried because my email wasn't working Saturday morning and I had to find the track from my memory of BGs email, and I had only glanced over it. Thankfully it was very convenient and I got there right at noon. The ATM was down at the track so I ran out searching for an ATM. When I got back 15 minutes later, I beeped BGs nextel and he was standing about 30 feet away from me in the parking lot.
BG is an incredibly fascinating guy. He's probably the most self-confident insecure guy that I know. I know that sounds like an oxymoron, but if you ever met BG you'd understand. His new travel requirements for work are a real disappointment, because his take on the local Michigan horse racing world would be a fascinating project.
THG seems like a really great guy. The first thing you notice is his voice. He should be in radio or announcing of some kind. A very strong steady tenor. Thanks for the drinks guys. I really had more fun playing the ponies with you guys than I did in the tournament. Even though my only decent score came on a horse called "Brother Derek."
***I played my first Michigan "Charity" poker. They apparently skirt Michigan gambling laws by donating he proceeds of the poker action to charity, and that allows poker games to exist. One limitation is that you can't win more than $500 a day. So even though there were almost 100 people in the tournament at $55 a shot, first prize was still only $500. I don't know the actual payout structure, so that should tell you how BG, THG and I did in the tourney. THG wins the pool for the last-longer bet we forgot to make.
***I got my first Dial-a-shot. Mine was Gin (okay, and some tonic) and I totally punted the toast. My only idea was to toast to horses named after Lord of the Rings characters. But I'm pretty sure BG would have slugged me.
If you haven't gotten the special edition DVD of "Blues Brothers" yet, you should consider it. It's a good version of a great movie. It's a musical, it's a comedy, it's an action movie and it's a fantasy movie, all rolled into one. The absurdity of the action and the plot are heightened by the lack of explanation for said improbabilities, save for the repeated mantra "We're on a mission from God." The movie simply could not be made today. The costs and the politics involved would be impossible. It was a slice of time when the musical guests were not only still performing at their peaks, but they were all available because of a lull in the popularity of their genre.
The additional footage added to the film for the special edition aren't that substantial, unless you're John Lee Hooker. In the original film his musical number in the film was shortened to a musical introduction as the band enters "Ray's" music store. In the extended edition, you get to hear the whole song, the immortal "Boom Boom." And then, at the end of the song, Hooker argues with members of the band about whether or not he wrote "Boom Boom."
Like many blues standards, nobody really knows who wrote "Boom Boom." It's not one of those songs that necessarily has to have an author. It's basically a simple but powerful blues riff with a backbeat flavor. It's commonly accepted that "Boom Boom" rose out of the Mississipi Delta, and Hooker captured it and applied it to vinyl.
That's one of the beautiful things about Poker Strategy. Nobody can claim authorship to a certain strategy, nobody can say "I was the first person to ever try 'this' in poker."
Everybody is standing on the shoulders of giants, and those giants are essentially anonymous. It's like blues or soul standards. Styles are often copied from people who originally copied the style from someone else.
The truly great players are those who are inspired by the style of others, but work to adapt the style and make it their own. But everyone is working from the same original riff, which grew out of time itself, with no known creator.
I've been staying up too damn late. It's just hard to turn those guys down in chat when they want to play "just one more SNG."
Of course, as retarded as I am, I didn't actually play a SNG with those guys, because every time I went to join the thing would fill up a half-second before I entered. Oh well.
I had no choice but to chat with those guys, because I had to brag about a $238 scoop in an PLO8 game at Full Tilt. I love it when guys raise pre-flop with AA and can't let it go. Even with three suited cards on the flop (I had the nut flush) and three to the wheel on the board (I had the wheel.) He called a $72 river bet with AA for high and a counterfeited low. Then he tilted off his remaining $50 and rebought for another $100 (table max) but he left before he could tilt away the entire hundred. Omatilt is less common that Hold Em Tilt, but when it happens it can be rough.
Desperate to brag, I found TripJax and begged for a chat invite. Then I realized that the Chicks vs. Chimp tourney was going on. I missed the first 45 minutes or so, but I got the pleasure of watching Mr. "all women except Annie Duke suck at poker" outlast ONE out of four women. Maudie (my new hero) busted him with a runner-runner straight flush. I'm so jealous of her because she got called a "tourist." Thanks to all the lovely ladies who demonstrated that this donkey doesn't know shit about shit. He didn't deserve to sit at the same table with such beauty and grace.
After the third time those guys asked me to join them in a Tourney at Poker Stars with me replying "I don't have any money in Poker Stars," I checked my balance. Duh. I had $77.10 that I won at the Omatard tourney earlier this year. I completely forgot it was in there.
When I missed the 2-table SNG that surflexus, GaryC and TripJax were playing, I joined a $.01/$.02 PL08 game at Stars. I had no idea they had games that small. I laughed every time someone potted it pre-flop for $.07. I found out that I am totally mentally incapabe of folding to a $.02 bet when there are still cards to come. I played so poorly at that table I think it actually wrecked my Omaha8 game. Gary and Surf joined the table for a brief time, but left when the "everyone calls everything" got to them. This can be very frustrating because weird hands get paid in Omaha when everyone is in. The whole point to O8 is PRESSURE, and you just can't apply pressure with an $.18 re-raise.
So finally I missed the last SNG of the night and decided to just play one on my own. A 10+1, and the opponents were....well, not great but infinitely better than Party. I got lucky and got paid off every time I had a hand. With four left I had the lead, but the second biggest stack took out the other two, putting me in second place with two left. I had AKs on the first hand with the BB, and he folded to me. I folded the next two hands to hopefully instill the idea that I was only playing big hands. Then I won every.single.hand after that. I rivered a straight, flopped top pair twice, pushed him off pots or got him to pay me off every time. If I was him I would have been pissed. Heads-up play should never be that one-sided.
By the time the SNG ended it was past 1:30 and I've been getting up at 7am so I was fast asleep by 1:35.
Tonight there will be less poker, if any. I need sleep, I have a phone date to watch Survivor with Mrs. Bogey, and I NEED SLEEP!
