Nothing exciting happening in my poker world lately. Hovering under $100, cashing out small sums now and then. I was on the receiving end of a pretty sick beat last night.

*END OF BAD BEAT HH*

Good thing it was only a $6.50 SNG. That's the worst beat I've had in ages. In fact, it doesn't get worse than that. He at least could've hit quads on the turn or river, didn't have to FLOP them to add insult to injury. Actually, I could give a shit less when he got them, it blows either way.

Check out Fluxer's recent postings. Valuable info about the questons you should be asking yourself to assess your game and game conditions in side games.

Must congratulate the Dallas Cowboys for signing free agent fucking tool Terrell Owens. Can Parcells keep TO's big mouth shut? Will TO suck out all the chemistry in yet another locker room ala The Suckout Godess in a heads up NLHE match? How many glasses of SoCo will Al be able to drink before Brian Dawkins lays a crushing fuck-you-assclown hit on TO in the teams' first meeting? I can't wait to watch that game.
