WSOP woes, licking the wounds, no more internet pokers, DD 2.0, and other ramblings late nightPosted Aug 20, 2011 at 2:26 AM |
Yup, I'm even lazy when it comes to blogging. No shocker. (that's what she said...) So let me randomly at this point in time write some things to update anyone who cares to read this about some stuff with me and this site. In short, the WSOP sucked, I feel I played really well, I cashed in the main event and one other $1500 O8, the very first and very last events I played. Between those was a whole love of good play, bagging up chips, day 2s, bubbles, and general unlucky runs. I am still very confident in my mixed game tournament play, and the small sample size of tournaments that is the WSOP equaled = 10's of K's for me this year.
Furthermore it has finally hit me that my government has turned off my internet poker. Fuck the DOJ and fuck whoever was the motivating force behind the super-crackdown we experienced on April 15th of this year. Land of the free and whatnot... a a tax-paying adult I cannot spend my money as I see fit. Fuck that with a thorny stick. I going through some real soul searching right now. Move out of Vegas? But I love Vegas... hell, I'm about to have a really good meal at 2:19am... either Lasagna from Guiseppe's with their awesome Cesar salad or maybe Marnee Thai basil chicken - where the atmosphere is almost as good as the food - I'll call in the order to Marnee, then when I pick it up there will be a dozen drunk Thai natives singing Celine Dion's "My heart will go on" in Thai. I will recognize the tune but not the words. And the singing will be horrible no matter what nationality you are. Fuck me, I love this town. Not to say moving to a foreign country wouldn't be a cool adventure for me and my wife, I just really, really love this town.
Lastly I would like to say that against all odds, DD 2.0 is being once again worked on behind the scenes. Yeah, I don't even believe me until I see it either. But with that teaser, as of this posting I am very hopeful and dedicated to work very hard to make this site how it has looked in my head for over half a decade. I have never been able to make my vision show up on the page, and the fault lies squarely with my lazy ass. Lets see if I can do it this time...
