I like GonzoPoker. And I think you will be successful in anything you do Bond. You have the right attitude and mindset, everything else will follow. (Now can you help me live my own words?)

Great ideas - particularly about using an 'agent'

Well, if they let Michael Craig use "fucking" in the title of one of his on the official Full Tilt blog, it's hard to stir up a fuss over "whoring."

Seriously, fuck day light savings. Fuck it and the sadist communist bastards who invented it in order to annoy people in Australia who have to work on an American schedule. Oh, you think that’s not why they invented it? According to that Wikipedia entry you just read it’s good for the retail economy and leisure activities you say? We’ll fuck Wikipedia and fuck you too.

Naturally it fell on a Monday, which as I’ve said before is Sunday for those of you across the ocean. I decided not to even bother try waking up for anything too early and stumbled out of bed in time for the Full Tilt $750,000 guarantee. I only signed up for around eight tournaments because I could feel I was nowhere near 100%. By the time Celina woke up several hours later it was wearing on me and I had her cover briefly while I took a nap on the couch. When I woke up I started making a run in the Full Tilt mulligan tournament, but ended up busting out deep losing 99 to AQ all in pre flop.

Despite a pretty dull and pointless Monday, I did have an awesome previous day. I went deep in the Stars 50/50 yet again, finishing 3rd for around $5,800, and also got 3rd in the Full Tilt $50 single rebuy add on for a bit under $2,500 continuing what is becoming a very long hot streak. I haven’t done much since, and I’m actually considering taking tomorrow off, though when I think about it that seems unlikely.

I was glancing over the Pokerstars website today and saw they have announced a Latin American Poker Tour. It just so happens that one of these events would fit perfectly into the schedule for the ‘Around the world in 90 days’ trip in late May, the $2,500 tournament in Costa Rica. Speaking of the trip, a friend of mine received an email from Danny McD today that said APPT Macau will be either the first or second week of May. That’s not exactly the news I was hoping for, but I realized if it does happen to fall on the second week of May I could perhaps rearrange my trip so I go to the Party Poker Million trip first, then Macau, then LA, then Costa Rica, and then Las Vegas. If it turns out that way I may even consider going to the EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo in mid April and killing the 12 days between its finish and the cruise’s start. Not really sure what I’d do with that time though. Hopefully we get news very soon as to which week it ends up being.

Meanwhile Kyle (Edmond Dantes) has come up with an idea to create my own specific blog page known as GonzoPoker (or was it PokerGonzo, I think it was the first one) and start trying to create a more specific image and get relationships going with poker sites. Getting a site name like that means I’d have to go out and buy all of Hunter S. Thompson’s books so I can steal everything I possibly can as fast as I can. I’ve also decided I should email the man himself, Dr. Pauly, and ask his advice about all this kind of stuff I have going on right now. As much as I’d like to work with a poker site in regards to my content, are they really willing to let a blog entry be titled ‘The Mathematics of Whoring’? I have my doubts. That’s why I kind of like Kyle’s idea. Creating my own site that can both generate income and instead of restricting my style encourage it would be preferable, even if the money isn’t as good as working directly for someone. As a result I’ve asked Kyle to be my quasi agent. Basically, in the event I have to have some form of negotiation with a site I don’t want to come off as a demanding, money grubbing, gouging bastard. God forbid I show them my true colors at that stage. Having someone represent me allows for the ruthless nature that may be required without actually appearing ruthless. Kings to you Edmond.

I finished up writing ‘Things it took me a while to learn part 16’ tonight which will appear on the front page of P5’s before it appears on the blog. I’m going to write part 17, about table image and how to use it, tomorrow night. I had some help from Shaun fucking Deeb for this entry, and I’m going to continue scouting out new guys to bring on board for future entries. I think for the image portion I might go nag someone more LAG than I am like DJK or Charder30 and get their thoughts, since the image portion of strategy is so different based on playing style. Hopefully it results in something insightful.
