Misc.
Why do players want to yawn uncontrollably during the most intensely scrutinized moments they'll likely ever have at a poker table? I don't get it.
Michael Gracz, winner of the most recently televised WPT tournament, apparently suffered from several moments of incredible fatigue during the PartyPoker Million IV tournament.
He didn't exactly come across as a subscriber to "Conversationalist Weekly", but come-on man, spend some time in a real casino from time to time and realize that the "I'm-so-indifferent-I'm-going-to-crack-a-yawn-to-emphasize-the-point" is listed prominently in Chapter 1 of Tells-101. Not sure if the win is less a testament to his Limit Poker excellence, but perhaps more to do with a combination of Michael's solidly lodged horseshoe(s), his ability to read fellow Trekie conventioneer hands, and a very weak final table (minus Darden). OK, fine, I'm jealous -- my small and medium pocket pairs rarely hold-up.
So, I've been catching-up with some of the feverish blog content out there -- I'm exhausted!
Some of the interesting tid bits I found up to now:
This guy makes a point about having to pay extra to make PokerTracker compliant with Omaha citing frustration and inferring it analogous to Microsoft charging extra for a patch. I'd have to disagree -- I'd say he'd feel better about it if he thought of it in terms of payment for Oracle (or pick any other software for instance) Standard edition versus Enterprise edition ... Sure, it's called Oracle and you paid for it, but if you want all functionality enabled, you have to pony up.
Love the "meet the models" feature of Barstool Sports. Thanks to Mean Gene for helping the fledgling modeling industry showcase itself courtesy of non-pictorial content. He's scored an admirable regular writing assignment, whose latest column includes an amusing deconstruction of "table tirades".
AlCantHang is impressive on most of his ... insight; however on this day, he smacks a homerun by pimping a fine book (featured and reviewed in The Week) that I'm consider making required reading for the Leather-Ass Book of the Month club. Al did hit into a double play by pimping a fresh face blogger ... I'll let you decide for yourselves if it should be scored a fielder's choice instead.
In a quintessential "get me my Paxil!" moment, Boy Genius, who in his "Blog-Churning Goofball" (june 13th) post, strikes what I'm sure many people will agree is an all too familiar chord.
Good WSOP recap stuff including great player stats here. You don't realize how much money lifetime some of the Pros have yielded on the tournament trail. It's quite impressive. Erik Seidel for example has $3,406,658 in career earnings.
On other fronts, I am quite riveted by John Madden packing up his bus and moving to NBC. For a real fascinating and lengthy treatise on at what has gone wrong with MNF, check out the shark!
Interested in upgrading your DVD player's functionality? I'd recommend the freaks. You'll unleash the monster within your DVD player, and save yourself from hitting an electronic retailer anytime soon.
And did I mention?? SuperGirl irons her own capes! Take that Batman!

Try playing 12-18 hours per day for about a month straight, and then see if you care about being "scrutinized on TV," lol ;)
