POKAH!

Well, I’m In! I just received this email from PokerStars:

Reminder! PokerStars Blogger Championship this Sunday 4pm EST

Hello,

This is a reminder that you are registered for the Inaugural PokerStars Blogger Championship to be held this Sunday, October 23rd 2005 4pm EST (1pm PST).

Good Luck to all registrants! May the best blogger win!

So tomorrow I’ll be playing in the blogger’s tourney for FREE

I also got a nice email from Zog over at www.pokerdiagram.com If you havn’t heard their podcast then you need to download it. Henry and Zog play tournaments on Poker Room and they give live running commentary on the game as it progresses. Not only are they funny, but I find that it really helps solidify my understanding of no-limit strategy because I can listen to the thoughts of the players as they’re in a game situation

But the last show where they played Hi-Lo Omaha for the first time was hilarious. Not just for their self-admitted lack of Omaha knowledge, but their commentary is priceless.

So go check out Henry and Zog. And try not to laugh so hard that you spit your Gin & Tonic out your nose.

Also, I have a few new card nicknames that I’ve found around the ‘net:

2 7 offsuit “The Hammer” (this ones pretty common)
K 2 offsuit “The Devil’s Cards” (From Henry and Zog)
Q 3 “The Gay Waiter” (A queen with a trey)
Any Q with a small kicker (The Michael Jackson)
K J offsuit “The Anna Kournikova” Looks great, but really doesn’t play that well.

So I’ll let you know tomorrow how I do on the Bloggers Championship. I’ll try to make Henry and Zog proud.

Cheers!
