Take no prisoners Tom!  It's your time!

Quick Update

Jason Dewitt (5th) & Tom Fuller (9th) both crushing the NAPT Venetian Deep Stack heading to day 3 (148 runners left).  Matt Smith also in the mix with an under avg stack.

I had a stressful semi successful week in poker (that I felt could have been a huge week).  I feel things are turning in the right direction, especially my PLO/PLO8 cash game.

USA/Canada hockey game was phenomenal.  Up and down, back and forth, unbelievable effort given.

USA Curling needs some new blood, who's in?

Things are HOPping

In the past couple weeks, a couple friends of mine have had some nice successes.  Paul Wasicka won the Tunica WSOP Circuit Main Event.  He beat out 90+ entrants in the $5K event to take down his 2nd live victory (the other being the NBC Heads Up Championship in 2007 I believe).  Also Tom Fuller had two deep Heads Up No Limit runs (one live and one online).  He made a 4 way deal at the Borgata $2K Heads Up (essentially taking 2nd/3rd place money), and yesterday he took 3rd/4th in the FTOPS $500 Heads Up.  Congrat to both of you - very well deserved.

Bring On the Curling!

Most people agree that the Summer Olympics are far superior to the Winter Olympics. However, with the Winter Olympics starting tonight, two of my favorite sports to watch are highlighted: hockey and curling.  Yes I said curling!  Shuffleboard on ice.  I love the strategy and the subtleties.  It has to be one of the harder "sports" to control your nerves to do a precise speed and direction type motion.  I will watch other events as I love most sports played on the highest platform, but I will try to catch as much of the two aforementioned ones as possible.
