I see a lot of strange stuff on the internets. Thought I'd share this bizarre video of Drunken Midgets Run Amok:

"It's a kinder, gentler Iggy now," says I to GRob at the poker table in GVegas.He raises, insults with aplomb while running over the table, and retorts, "Nature abhors a vacuum."Now go read Mastodon Weekend deconstructed.

"Again, I find the blogs about poker hands extremely boring."Doyle BrunsonAmen, Doyle, amen.That's why Greg Raymer mentioned me first way back in the day when asked what poker blogs he read. Back when I mattered.I just cracked open an ice cold Guinness and it sure feels like old times. I have a ton of out-dated poker notes and I'll be damned if I don't feel like cranking em all out.

My apologies for repeating my Twitter, but honestly, people here in Ohio are going bonkers with delusion since the passing of legalized casinos on Tuesday.Massive job creation! Looming wealth for everyone!Good God, you know who else has casinos? Fucking Detroit.Just read that Lyle Berman has his fingers in future developments here.

Thank you, Al, for the nudge.I also missed the 6 year anniversary of starting this damn monstrosity.

Played some in the main game this weekend at the Hollywood. Loser $1 after 6 hours. Didn't play very well -- felt like I was the soft spot which was disconcerting. Maybe cause it was all old guy nits. Took a runner-runner beat early, but fought back to even, so no harm, no foul. Looking forward to playing again.Anyway, after the Bengals magnificent loss today, I thought I'd share a local

Just saw this at Wired magazine:--A move to scuttle legislation outlawing online gambling suffered a major setback when a federal appeals court set aside constitutional and other legal challenges to the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006.A three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals brushed aside assertions that the act (.pdf) breached the privacy rights of gamblers

Hey there, gentle reader. I'm still here.The end of August was when I had planned to return to business as usual here. And now it's September 1st and I'm ill equipped, as Otis would say. Aw hell, there's plenty of time to get back on the bus and bang worthy poker blogging out here like the good old days. I naively thought that going part-time at the ad agency would free me up, but instead, I'm

I received a text today from Fast Eddie asking where the hell I've been. Why wasn't I playing in the tournaments, and damn, the cash games are good.I had completely spaced with everything going on here. Plum forgot. I'm just not that bright.But he followed up with another text telling me his score from winning the Indiana State Poker Championships in the 7 card stud event. Hilarious.The Rooster

Quick poker update here. I completely spaced on the opening of the Indiana poker tournament championships at the Hollywood Casino in Lawrenceburg. Apparently the opening $300 buyin attracted 300+ monkeys and crackers and was a resounding success.So I found my way there yesterday and was dismayed to only find 50 players signed up for the $500 buyin tourney. WTF! Turns out there was a scheduling

"Poker is getting tougher these days, I shoulda worked harder during the boom."Fast EddieI'm sure there's many of us who can relate to the above sentiment. While catching up with him this weekend, it's funny to look back six years ago when I started this humble poker blog. While playing in his illegal game out in the backwoods of Morrow, Ohio, I was already a veteran of online poker and had to

I've read quite a bit of media coverage about this past weekends UFC 100. And media coverage ABOUT the media coverage and mainstream media and acceptance versus tolerance, for and against.Assimilation into modern culture thanks to the outlaw nature of the sport, our cultural desensitization to violence, and mostly, TV exposure.I started this blog in the fall of 2003 and pretty much documented

Quick update as things might be picking up here in this humble poker blog.I've been spending some time at the new Hollywood Casino, roughly 25 minutes from my door to the poker table. It's approximately 41 tables and a very, very nice room.This is an official WPT affiliated room, shockingly enough. Next March 5th - 24th will be the Hollywood Poker Open. A televised event with 18 events over 20

So I'm sitting here at home, drinking a cold one, on the last Day One qualifier of the WSOP Main Event, pondering my cash in last years tourney.Do I wish I was playing? Well hell, any poker player worth his salt would want to be there, so that's a silly question. But that being said, I made the right decision awhile back to not play this year. I've too many irons in the fire and was not prepared

So Crazy Russ Gorgiev is dead. It must be true because there's a ton of threads about it on RGP. I've pinged a few people in the know, and apparently it's true.I had talked to Russ several times on the phone back in the days of my uber poker posting. He was entertaining and knowledgeable, if nothing else.On the other hand, he singlehandedly ruined RGP, imho. He drove out every poster worth a damn

So upon returning from Northern Ontario, I hit the road with Dr. Pauly, GMoney &amp; Mr. Fabulous to follow Phish around the Midwest. Six states, 1200 miles and four shows.Damn, I can't even put into words how much Fun I had. So I won't. But feel free to head over to the Dr's supreme Phish blog and read his write-ups.I'm just happy my friends let me tag along after all the mean things I've said

I'm wanting to pound out poker posts with so many of my friends going crazy on Twitter about poker. For now, I'm trying to discern why I've dropped out of Google, again.Heavy sigh.

Might have some interesting news to report here soon.Hope everyone enjoyed a fantastic Memorial Day weekend. Me? I drank.I am also pondering the ramifications of my home poker boat expanding to 44 tables and hosting a WPT event.

Poker and Twitter. A nice rant by Terrance Chan.I hate Twitter but also really dig it. As an information junkie, it works for me the way I use it.Anyway, as a MMA practitioner, I wish Terrance would write up his picks for this weekends UFC 98, damnit.I'm taking Machida over Evans by decision in the title fight. If Evans wins, I'll officially be on the bandwagon and that's exactly the way the UFC
