Long Time

Man, another two weeks and I haven't bothered to add anything. I seriously need to keep up with this. Big TV tonight as it's the second week of American Idol. Last week was classic Idol hilarity and I'm sure tonight will not disappoint. Another show I've been totally digging is Dancing with the Stars. I caught a bit of the show last year, but didn't get into it at the start. This season has been great. George Hamilton is simply "the Man", Stacey Kiebler is hot as hell, Master P is retarded, but his dance partner is gorgeous. And best of all, is the crazy judge Bruno. So far the only disappointment was that Kenny Mayne went off in week one. That guy could have been weeks of entertainment, if only he could dance.

In Poker news, I got to watch the WSOP Tournament of Champions the other week. With both Phil Hellmuth, and Mike Matusow at the table, this was probably the most entertaining televised poker I've ever watched. Great play, great banter (except from Steve Dannenman, what a moron) exciting the whole way. In my own poker play, things have for the most part been good. A couple Saturdays ago, I had a pretty good run at the Limit table at Casino Croft. There was some drunk giving his money away, and some of the other players seemed to be distracted by the female at the table. Last Saturday however was probably the worst session of poker I ever had. My cards were cold. REALLY Cold, like they were in the Antarctic cold. Only one hand truly pissed me off, the rest I just couldn't get anything. I scooped one full pot all night, and one I split. Online things are not bad. I've slowly been grinding my bankroll back up. I better get working at things if I'm gonna be playing poker full time come September (that's the pipe dream). And finally, the WPT event at the Gold Strike casino finished up yesterday. The final table was a doozy, featuring Scotty Nguyen, Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi, Gavin Smith, and An "The Boss" Tran. When the dust had settled two men were left standing. Scotty Nguyen, and Michael Mizrachi. Almost equal in chips, we were surely in for a great heads up battle... or not. Heads Up lasted exactly one hand. The money went in pre-flop with the Grinder holding everyone's favourite Backstreet Boy, AJ, while Scotty held AQ. Scotty ending up making a flush, and as he had slightly more chips than the Grinder it was all over Baby.

Anyway, Idols on so I'm off.

Bizzle Out.
