Awwwe yeah... WAH (Working At Home) .... all week.

Now, I'm faced with having to start thinking about whether or not I want to give the online game another shot. Like I've mentioned in a previous post, I'm unsure if 'I got game' to play with the tricky combination of increasingly sharp players, and a good share of the effectively "right place/right time" dead money clan of the online poker community.

My strengths lie in being able to *see* player and get an idea of what they're holding. I haven't yet been able to harness and convert this vital ability to my online arsenal. But since I'll be home all week, I'll have an excellent chance to log a good number of hands and hours to help accurately gauge my skill level. I worry though because I've read so many frightening tales of people going bad for weeks and even months at a time in the online arena. I just won't have the time to recoup potential losses should I walk into a bad streak -- and this fear may impact the way I approach my game.

I wanted to post my review of Casino's 10th year anniversary DVD release, so, I'll get to that, pray to TIVO (i.e. watch last week's WPT episode) and wait for a sign or an email offer for a reload bonus I can't refuse before committing any funds to the roll.

GOOG just broke $300. This makes my decision to jump online just a
hair less stressful, though induces some flashbacks to March of 2000.

From the "List of reasons to become an expat" department:

Saw a very shocking documentary about the disgusting pathology which the corporations in our country deviously emit and manipulate, then shield from our society's own eyes.

From the "How to make good conversation ---- with a guy" department:

I know this will probably evoke some disagreement, but this compilation of Unbreakable Sports records is a good read -- unless you think 92 goals is achievable.

From the "I'm not surprised" department:

While reading Pauly's latest WSOP post, I was curiously unmoved by
learning what Phil Helmuth has in steady rotation on his iPod. Domo-origato Mr.
Helmuth.

Well a picture does say a thousand words. You tell me!!
