Tourny Pokerrrrrr updates
So this weekend is the $1000 "Recession Special." There is 2 days ones, Sammy played yesterday, Jimmie and I play today. I'll text updates throughout the day.
Sammy's big hand:
Raise button to 600 (100-200 blinds) with 6d4d
Big blind calls.
Flop 3d 3c 7d
He checks, Sammy bets 800, he instaraises to 2000, Sammy shoves, guy tanks and says "i have a gut feeling I should call." and of course does with the old jd2d. Sammy doesn't hit and is crippled, to go out later with 99 vs jj. Oh well, it's up to Jimmie and me for this tourny.
Meanwhile Bryan has been playing big cash games at Bellagio and doing ok. His friend Matt Glantz made a deep run in the 40k event and busted 18th.

Flop came A 9 6, and Bryan lead out for ~16000, antonio flat called sb folded. Turn came 8 and bryan shoved for 74000 (about pot +12k) and Antonio called with pocket AA for top set over set. Nothing on the turn and Bryan was sent home.
WSOP EVENT #1
WSOP EVENT #1 $40,000 BUYIN NL HOLDEM
Bryan is playing the 40k tournament today, follow here for text updates.
Some notes:
Got into Vegas last night nice easy flight no complaints. Sammy managed to get lost between the baggage claim and the car (about 200 yards) twice, then it was over to Bellagio for some high stakes baccarat. It such a fun game when you can just destroy the cards and yell at the dealers. We ate at Yellowtail which was also amazing. We sat outside where they had 5 tables right on top of the water show. I'll post pictures soon, but it was one of the best tables in all of vegas. After that, the rest of the crew went home to rest up, and me being so jet lagged I was on the next day already, went to Venetian for Pai Gow. Ups, downs, ended down a little not bad. Overall day 1 was good old vegas.

Ill Sneakers
House of Hoops is releasing another NYC tribute sneaker - the Nike Vandal Lo NYC “Catch A Cab”.
“The shoe is all about the yellow cab with its yellow patent swoosh, yellow lacing and outsole, and yellow dots and contrast stitching. The checkers on the cab also make their presence known on the strap and bordering between the upper panels. Some other key NYC details are the statue of liberty with On/Off Duty details on the tongue, and the sockliner containing a fare guide.”
The sneaker is coming out on June 19th.

Ripped from XXL Magazine, Danger Mouse is the man
Danger Mouse, the Grammy-nominated producer behind such acts as Gnarls Barkley, MF Doom, Gorillaz and the critically-acclaimed Grey Album, has decided to take a stand against his label.
After legal battles over the release of his new album, EMI reportedly decided to shelve DM latest effort, Dark Night Of The Soul. According to Gizmodo, DM came up with the idea to put out a book of 100 photographs shot by famed director David Lynch (Twin Peaks) as well as a blank CD. On the disc it states, “For Legal Reasons, enclosed CD-R contains no music. Use it as you will,” alluding to fans to burn leaked versions of the album.
DNOTS can currently be heard for free on NPR’s website.
As of press time it is uncertain when the package for the album will hit shelves.

Bodybuilders Flee Event
BRUSSELS (AP) - The Belgian bodybuilding championship has been canceled after doping officials showed up and all the competitors fled.
A doping official says bodybuilders just grabbed their gear and ran off when he came into the room.
"I have never seen anything like it and hope never to see anything like it again," doping official Hans Cooman said Monday.
Twenty bodybuilders were entered in the weekend competition.
Cooman says the sport has a history of doping "and this incident didn't do its reputation any good."
During testing of bodybuilding events last year, doping authorities of northern Belgium's Flanders region found that three-quarters of the competitors tested positive.

Do You Know What Makes You Happy?
According to an essay in the Boston Globe, probably not. This is a really interesting article that basically explains that people are really bad at understanding what makes them happy. For example if you could choose to cure blindess or minor backpain, most people would say blindness. However once people are used to their lack of sight, it does not have much of an effect on overall happiness. The chronic pain on the other hand can lead to significant decreases in happiness.
"In recent years, cognitive scientists have turned in increasing numbers to the study of human happiness, and one of their central findings is that we are not very good at predicting how happy or unhappy something will make us. Given time, survivors of tragedies and traumas report themselves nearly as happy as they were before, and people who win the lottery or achieve lifelong dreams don't see any long-term increase in happiness. By contrast, annoyances like noise or chronic pain bring down our happiness more than you'd think, and having friends or an extra hour of sleep every night can raise it dramatically.

David Rules
Sometimes I can be stubborn. I mean really really outrageously stubborn, and want to do things my way and only my way. At least according to my brother. He's convinced that in my world I play by "David's Rules." I can't really argue because I kinda do.
David Rule #34
1. If you ask me to do something and I don't do it, its probably because I don't want to.
2. If you ask me to do something a second time and I don't do it, just stop asking because it will never get done.

Music of the Day
The Gaslight anthem is awesome. I heard a great review of them that they're like The Hold Steady if the lead singer could sing. They are a mix of Bruce Springsteen (from NJ) and Against Me!. Check out the single "The 59 Sound"
or what my favorite song is, "Old White Lincoln"
