Good Spot

My dog picked a particularly comedic spot to drop his load today.

Gonna Fly Now!

I just got done watching Rocky so I'm all pumped up before bed. What a great movie.

I'm talking to my buddy Ray 'Exitonly' Coburn who was explaining how he played everything in sight today and had 18-19 tables going at a time. After I conveyed my sense of awe at this ability, he told me about how he played in the same room with Shaun Deeb today. If there's anyone in the poker world who doesn't know who Shaun Deeb is, and there probably isn't, he is a sensational young online tournament player who has probably (certainly?) played more multi-table tournaments than anyone ever despite only being ~23. Ray said that Shaun had as many as 40 tables going today at his peak!

I can barely hold a candle to the spotlight that is these guys. Still, a meager Sunday where my peak amount of simultaneous tables was just five yielded a little money. I final tabled the Bodog $100k, now a $150+$12 buy-in with 5,000 starting chips, for I believe the fifth time. I had to settle for 5th for $5,500 after pocket Fours lost a race to Ace-King when a King fell on the river. That was an unfortunate way to watch a day in which I believed I might finally win that tournament end, but it's better than a swift kick in the ass.

Beyond that, I don't have much to say. Life always seems a little blase after the WSOP, so it's hard to convey any sense of excitement about anything. I've been burying myself in the game of golf the past few weeks after finally ordering some clubs made to be swung by someone a little on the tall side. I'm no good, but I suppose I appreciate having a new challenge to engage myself with during a time of boredom.

If life is so much more thrilling in Vegas, why don't I move there? Good question!
