does anyone have...
 ...any good sites for keeping track with the WSOP. I log onto cardplayer fairly frequently and it's all right, but I wish they had a little better way of updating stacks and such, I know it's hard with 1700 people or whatever each day for the main event, but hey, they are the ones claiming to be the poker authority.
anyone else ponying up the 20 bucks to get the final table live on ppv? I did it last year with about a half dozen buddies and a couple cases of beer and I am fairly certain it was the best day I had in 2006 outside of my daughter being born and the day the Steelers won the super bowl, oh yeah, and the day I was at the AFC title game in Denver, fuck that was a good time, shit, I was at a hockey game day before that, man I take this rambing stuff literally at 8 am after working all night.

David Singer's Bust Out
 watched an interview with david singer after he got busted in the main event...
apparently he was all in for a decent amount and his opponent was on a decision when the opponent's cell phone rang
so, opponent pulls out his cell phone... opens it, checks the screen, puts it away
they announced before the event that hands were dead upon usage of a phone and shit like that apparently, and it seems to be the way things generally go at most card rooms
so, he says to the dealer "his hand's dead right? hands over?" because he assumes it's the well known rule a statement like that is an obvious tell since he's worried he's beat
dealer says he doesnt know and needs to see a pit boss... happened to be top ranking pit boss... who declared the hand still live
bam, call... singer busts
man's understandably pissed... i agree... if the rule is made that clearly, and a pit boss pussies out and lets the hand stay live...
obviously it's singers fault for jumping the gun... but, i mean, seems like a short stop asking if the infield fly rule applied to the umpire after a bases loaded pop up
pretty weak that guy drops 10g to play in the biggest tournament of the year and he busts out in a way like that

playing/running bad
ok, ive lost continually since my last win.
analysis:
playing too fancy/LAG too early in tournaments; keep the pots small early on. keep the bluffs small, play big pots with big hands. dont play position as aggressively, as too many fish early on.
cash games, play more aggressive? wait for good cards, theres no rush, no race. then, maximize profits on good hands. ALSO, EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT: make sure i pick out the fish, and attack them!! and dont get into personal battles with bad players that call me names. they can get lucky, and they can take your chips. play with an advantage in every hand! (unless advertising)
ok, thats enough; now, next time i play (im right now playing 1.5k G $1R) make sure im properly motivated, and ready to win, and for cash game, have a strategy in mind, feel like i can win, then go play.

Bangkok
 The date of this post is actually July 3 at 9am. That's because I'm sitting here in Bangkok, Thailand. It's already been quite interesting and I've only been here about 4 days. I was really hoping that I'd be able to play some poker in another country but no dice (pun somewhat intended as gambling is illegal). Oh well, hope all the poker folks I know on here are having some poker fun for me while I'm gone. I'll be back in the states somewhere between 2 and 4 weeks. Of course I'll see some of you then! Take care!

who else thinks..
...the coors light ad 'wingman' is the best commercial ever made...it came up the other night when one of my buddies had a chance to score with a hot chick and I offered to try and cut loose the anchor for him...the chubby friend, and of course my buddy was too young to have even seen the commercial, why do I hang out with these 19 year old clownshoes?
the bud light commercial where the guy is on an island and keeps getting the bottles and then goes to the guys house and punches him is pretty good too

Sick and Tired
 I'm so fucking sick and tired of putting all my money in when I have at the very LEAST at 60/40 chance and LOSING. Sure, I get lucky every now and then but it seems like I can't get past breaking even. It really sucks right now because I feel that I am playing some of the best poker I've ever played...

Las Vegas
 I'm taking my sister to Vegas the third week of June for her big 21st B-Day. Aside from playing cards, does anyone have any suggestions that would help make her B-Day a special occasion??? She likes to drink, party, dance, etc. and is open to anything.
Thanks for your help.
