Re: TStoneMBD\'s WSOP Blog
 
I might update during breaks if something interesting happened, a sick hand took place or I'm a chipleader or something. most likely though most posts will just be an end day recap. I'm gonna try to disclude as many non-wsop things as possible cause I hate when blogs talk about what furniture or video game they just bought. I'm sure ill talk hands/opponents/strategy but it all depends on how much time I have and how much I enjoy the experience of posting. typing on this damn phone is tuff. its new so maybe ill get used to the minikeyboard more.

replies and comments are very welcomed here in this thread. I'm more likely to spend more time making elaborate blog posts if I know there's a lot of interest. ill also try to read and reply to all comments but that's also dependant on how much time I have. for all I know I could be playing 70 hours a week.

why do you figure this years HORSE to be much softer than last?

TStoneMBD 05-26-2007 08:46 PM

Re: TStoneMBD\'s WSOP Blog
 
I expect the number of entries to go up a lot since there is so much tv time. I heard there will be many more sats for it too and the buzz seems much stronger. I could be wrong tho.

gl Tstone I look forward to that really good post.

This is the same thing I'm planning, but without the pimp RSS feed from Jurollo. Should be entertaining, but it's going to suck if you spend the whole month without any nice cashes.

Please don't slack on the NVG posting because of this blog.

Hey Mike, could you shuffle chips side-to-side instead of front-to-back like the rest of humanity? Thanks a million.


p.s. Alex Jacob's zombie demeanor has put me on permanent lifetilt. How did you cope with it?

p.p.s. Stop staring at everyone you weirdo. Semi-permanent lifetilt from that one.

TStoneMBD 05-28-2007 10:48 AM

Re: TStoneMBD\'s WSOP Blog
 
hi plz, excellent post really.

1, I am multi-talented as I've taught myself to shuffle chips in 3 different ways. my personal preference is also the side to side method.

2, alex's zombie demeanor is one of his greatest attrtibutes as people commonly explode their stacks when they can't take it anymore.

3, yes I agree, its creepy and I actually brought this up with a friend. the problem is, I feel one of my stronger strengths in live poker is picking up tells and to avoid staring someone down would take away some of my edge. because of this I'm actually gonna try to use glasses this year. I highly doubt I'd ever use them at a tv table tho. for the record, I think glasses are ghey, but staring into someones man-eyes is even more ghey. also, random rant but I can't understand why vrusso uses glasses. you never see her eyes. for someone who's fame is entirely based on the fact that she's female, you'd think shed improve her image of letting male viewers see her eyes on tv.

Re: TStoneMBD\'s WSOP Blog
 
1. I tried shuffling chips front to back and sprained my wrist.. send me your address for law suit purposes.

2. I'm not watching him on tv anymore. I honestly had incredibly slow-moving nightmares about his half-open mouth.

3. Who's eyes would you rather stare into: Vanessa, Clonie or Patrik?

tstone: Good luck and cool idea. PS my sister has a huge crush on you and started to cry a little when you busted out on TV. SHe pretended she was just kidding, but then she had to leave the room.

re: rousso

her fame is mostly based on the fact that she is an attractive female. this is enhanced by the huge glasses

DeathDonkey 05-28-2007 08:18 PM

Re: TStoneMBD\'s WSOP Blog
 
I can only shuffle front and back, guess I'm weird. What's the 3rd way? I like shuffling using some chips held in my hand with the top of a tall stack - saw Chau Giang do it on a WPT episode and decided it was way cooler than normal shuffling.

Don't do the sunglass thing, your piercing stare could be your trademark.

I can say, after playing with vanessa for 7+ hours at the PCA that this is TOTALLY untrue. Vanessa is a really really good looking girl with or without sunglasses. Pretty good attitude / personality as well.

p.s i will be be reading it anyway because he is clearly a interesting guy and his ventures are bound to be interesting whatever happens and his poker skills are evident from that uspc tourney, but still capital letter after fullstop helps.
