Don't you think it was hard enough on me to get busted out with A-J vs. Q-5? lol. Now I get to read about it too, geesh. Now then, a little about myself, Dave. I noticed you had in your notes on me, "no info." That surprises me not one bit, as I didn't pick up the game of Hold'Em until January of this year. It was truly an honor to make it to day 3 and have the opportunity to sit with some undoubtedly great players, including yourself. I actually qualified in the "11" bubble players prior to the cutoff, but couldn't play in the bubble tournament. Sometimes I regret the all in, other times I don't. The experience was unbelievable, my trip was entirely free, and, as I said, I had the opportunity to play and meet with some very talented poker players. And to anyone who reads this blog and has never had the opportunity to meet Dave. Well, he's a nice guy and a talented poker player. Sorry to hear Strasser replaced me. Congratulations on your winnings. It was a pleasure to meet you. Best Regards, Merritt "Todd" Teague Alright, alright, enough already.

I blame the cum-belching pigfuckers at Harrah's for adopting it in attempt to take the fun out of poker like they take the fun out of everything. What other words are forbidden? Is "Friggin" allowed? How about "Fargin' icehole?" Is there a five-minute penalty for farting at the table? Maybe there oughta be. Keep the reports coming. Us donkeys really enjoy 'em.

If anyone had any doubts before, let me confirm you don't want Dave at your table with chips in front of him. He plays a short stack, as well as a large stack, better than most every player you currently see on WPT/WSOP. Its only a matter of time before the masses find this out. I've mentioned this factoid to Dave, but for you superfans, watching your friend play live high-stakes poker is waaaay more stressful than playing yourself. On one hand, its like watching the 1983 WSOP (Dick Van Patten, eat your heart out), but on the other, its a super game in strategy determaning what cards the others 'could/should' be holding, given the betting structure/table positioning. I advise anyone who enjoys playing poker for $$ to watch/learn at this level w/o seeing hole cards. It's a useful tool to becomming a good player, as well as confirm many of your ideas leading up to your own playing in tourneys. * Rick Solomon's t-shirt was of some obscure cartoon. Some series called Family Guy or something (shirt was pic of Brian). Thank you for the kind words, good sir.
