Is Online Poker Dead?

I think not.

I give you example A.

Bommel222 played the Poker Stars world record attempt tourney for $1. He luck boxed his way to a 2nd place and won $30k. Now mind you, before this tourney score, our friend Bommel222 did not play cash games, he was only a micro stakes tourney player. He never played anything over a $1. This is all documented here.

Now I ask you, what does a man with zero poker success do after luck boxing 30k. He of course moves up to 200/400 LHE and 25/50 SH NLHE. Of course he does.

Here is bommel222's graph.



Here are a few of his hands.

Standard river cap on his part imo.

He was clearly bluffing.

Redskins New Coach

I predict Mike Shanahan will be introduced as the new head coach of the Washington Redskins next week. Maybe as early as next Tuesday. You heard it hear first folks.

Happy New Year

So with the start of 2010 I sit here in a chair. On the mend. I wonder, what will be of 2010, this upcoming decade? I will tell you my friends. It will be the decade of me! As my main man Constanza would say, "I'm back baby, I'm back!"

It appears that my days of defending America are done. I will know for sure on Monday when I hit up sports medicine for my rehab. If this is true, which I'm more or less 99% sure it is I will make my triumphant return to the poker world.

With all that info I will make my new years resolutions.

1)Move back to Vegas and reform the team. I am heading out to visit my boy on the 13th with a quick stop over in Denver to see Little Chef.

2)Win Stars yearly tournament leader board. In 2007 I came pretty close. I was in the top 20. As long as I can keep my desire to play, I will soul crush.

3)Win Stars monthly leader board 3 times this year. I have taken 2nd in this multiple times. No more.

4)Clear 300k in tournament profit and 50k in cash game profits. I have never been good in online cash games, but I feel like living in Vegas I can log in 10-20 hours a week live. Playing 2-5, 10-20 unlimited it shouldn't be to hard clear that amount.

5)Get my honorable discharge ASAP from the USMC.

6)Get down to 155lbs by the end of February and never weigh more then 160lbs the entire year.

7)Create the ultimate online set up with a money lazy boy.

8)Pay off all student loans and get 100% out of debt.

9)Get a 2010 Eclipse

That sums it up my friend. I hope everyone has a good new year.

Ruh-Roh

Have you ever wondered why the Patriots mascot has always looked so happy? Was it the three super bowls? Because Tom Brady is the Pats qb? Or is it because he enjoys paying hookers for sex. If you picked the last one, you'd be correct.

According to this NBC news channel link, the mascot likes his hookers.

I'm Out Bitches

Look at my future scars!

I Hate My Life

Our government is only as strong as its people are smart.

And that’s why grocery shopping depresses me.

You see, once a week or so I'll have a need for a variety of items that can only be bought at one type of store. A grocery store. On one hand I view it as a scavenger hunt, so that part’s not depressing. The saddening part is the checkout lane.

I don’t know much about retail, but I know that the area immediately adjacent to the register is the most valuable area in the store, because that is where people make their impulse buys. So stores need to fill it with stuff that grabs peoples attention. Stuff they want to buy

So each week I stare at that space.

And that’s where and when I get sad.

Because what people are buying is telling them the following:

Jessica Simpson is on the verge of a nervous breakdown because Tony Romo dumped her.

George W. Bush is suicidal because an Alien ate his dog.

And Whitney is exploding at Oprah because Oprah doesn't have the crack she likes.

And those were just the tabloids.

On the right of me was all the food that has caused our current health care crisis.

So the things that sell best are the things that make us fat and the things that make us stupid.

The day I’ll be optimistic will be the day that there are impulse oranges on the left of me, and books on the right of me.

Until then, we’ll get the government we deserve.

But really, who am I to judge...I just bought a Milkyway and a National Enquirer.

Former Back Up Goalie Captain?

Washington Capitals web producer Brett Leonhardt tweeted that his Vegas odds for becoming captain of the Washington Capitals now sit at 100,000-to-1.

This is the same 6'7" monster who jumped into action for the Capitals last season when the backup goaltender who had been called up to the roster had his flight delayed. Leonhardt spent about 10 minutes on Washington's bench as the backup goalie before the call-up arrived.

Now I'm not sure if those ten minutes make him eligible, but god bless. Live the dream my friend, live the dream....
