The new Cadillac of Poker is well underway. I think that, given the ridiculous amount of entrants in the Main Event and the consequential lack of "name" pros at the final table, the $50,000 HORSE event will take over as the premier WSOP event.

I was in Brussels a couple weeks ago. The casino was two blocks from my hotel. They don't offer poker there, so I "played" blackjack and roullette. By "play", I mean "lost every bet that I made". As a result, my net gambling winnings on the year are just north of $100 positive, even though my poker results are well north of $2,000.

We are spending the week on the golden shores of Galveston, Texas. We saw plenty of sunshine yesterday, but if the weatherman is right, we may not see the sun again.

I am re-reading Ray Zee's book on high-low split poker. The two concepts that he most hits on in the O/8 part of the book are watching out for counterfeitable hands and high hands when a low has (or still can) qualify. These two concepts are, of course, not relevant to Holdem. As a result, most Holdem players, playing Holdem strategy while playing O/8, are often playing incorrectly. Since most players these days cut their teeth on Holdem before attempting O/8, it would stand to reason that there is a lot of money to be made at O/8. Methinks I should play more of it.

Viva los Estados Unidos. DaMarcus Beasley's miss around the 90 minute mark was pretty pathetic. Other than that, the boys in red, white and bluee did us proud.

We lost the golden boot.
