Chris Halverson thoughtfully provides the text for a brief Forbes article, so we don't have to register (hate that shit).
The Daily Grind
Fish With a Pole plays in AC (Trop and Sands).
From Guppy to Shark, I beg you to change your color scheme; small white type on a black background is difficult to read.
Guinness and Poker offers another day's worth of excellence, including an interchange between Daniel Negreanu, that germy-looking, bleached-blonde weasel, and Erik Seidel, who has the quiet tall guy thing going on that I so admire (other notable quiet tall guys: Gary Cooper, James Taylor, my husband).

Back from AC, and not feeling well.
I won small and lost big (by my low-limit standards). The small wins were nearly all playing no-ante $1-$3 and $1-$5 stud. The big losses were playing $2-$4 hold 'em (incredibly aggravating, as usual, watching the likes of unsuited k3 take down $100 pots) and trying $5-$10 Omaha 8 and $5-$10 stud.
I did meet Gigi, who lives near New York City, at the $2-$4 Omaha table, and her extreme love of poker was inspiring. I didn't ask her age, but she has kids in their 40s, so I guess that makes her at least 60.
When I lose more than $200, I think about quitting poker forever. Gigi says she doesn't mind losing (although she would never play $5-$10, as she thinks that's risking too much), and that as long as she's playing, she's happy. This was a stunning concept to me. If I lose more than $50, I'm miserable until I win again.

Inspired by Mean Gene, I'm trying $25 buy-in pot-limit hold 'em on Party. I just chickened out and folded the hammer to a $3 preflop raise.

9.15 p.m. I'm watching the "preview" episode of the new World Poker Tour season, and it's tremendously diverting. I hadn't seen Phil "The Unabomber" Laak in action before. Or that smug fuck, Paul Phillips, either.
Iggy, my man, you must get cable (and Tivo, to make the cable maximally cost-effective). This is priceless entertainment.

There can never be too many poker blogs. Although there are enough lately that they're hard to keep track of. Which is why I want this one to keep tabs on the others.
I play online and in Atlantic City.
I live with my husband in Yorkville, the far Upper East Side of Manhattan. (I'm looking for a home game.)
I used to be a restaurant critic and magazine editor (talk about suited trash).
The updates start tomorrow; I've got my hands full with getting the links up today.
