Game selection

England should beat Ecuador (I always thought Christina Aguilera had Purto Rican origins) on Sunday...and probably face Holland in the quarters (I don't think Portugal will beat them)...and then Brazil. Um, right. Obviously they'll lose on Sunday the way they're playing right now. No way can we beat a good team like Holland or Portugal playing the way we are. Oh well.

Um, I lost as a 96.5% on the flop with a set. Pretty much sums up my month. Got KK v. AA, flopped a King. Left money on the table on a scary (3 flush/3 Broadway) board. Only 25BB but it adds up. If only turn was any non-flush card.

Second series of HSP is fucking hilarious. I am literally laughing out loud. Matusow makes for great enterainment value. Imagine if Hellmuth was there too. Farha has been...crap so far. Grinder has dominated, though, a few costly mistakes but he's still the big winner this session. Laak is cool, and Tilly actually looks semi-hot. I prefer Alaei's (sp?) girlfriend, though, even if she does dress quite prudishly. Some stunning cocktail waitresses there too. Antonio seems to be trying to work his magic on them and who can blame him. Negreanu is impressive, as always, and camp as fuck. I cannot wait for Mike to blowup!

I am making so many mistakes in this post it's not even funny. Time to go to bed.

Ebay: Bought a gold D20 dice for fun and randomising poker decisions (???). Might buy a Zocchihedron too but the ones in the UK on ebay look to be imitations...and buying one from the US looks to be pretty damn expensive. Talking about expensive...if/when I play live a gold coin would be an awesome chip protector. But obviously sovereigns/eagles are expensive as fuck. An '82 full sovereign is ~£205 and 1oz gold eagles are ~$600. Buffalo are ~$800. Then, of course, there are 1oz platinum eagles which are ~$1500. That's a lot of coin for a chip protector. Bling, bling! If only I played good enough to justify/afford one :)

And, oooh yeah, the evening games on Party suck thanks to the football. Still a few tards but not that many. Meh.
