Tuesday a gay buddy of mine is performing at the laugh factory. He thinks he’s funny, but he’s really not, but i’m going to go watch him bomb anyways because that in itself will be pretty funny in my opinion, and Thursday is a tourney. I completely got my ass handed to me in Australia. Got my money in with the best of it most of the time, which i really need to stop doing because getting sucked out on on a consistent basis is just really pissing me off, and I dont enjoy how that feels afterwards. I do however really enjoy delivering a bad beat so bad that it makes someone want to punch walls in their sleep like Uma Thurman in Kill Bill vol 2. But I dont have the balls to make stupid ass calls with A5 when the buyins 10,500. Down Under though, these idiots all get a good feeling in most every hand against me and they out flop the hell out of me. Anyways, back to getting sucked out on by the locals. RSVP for seats, and dont be an ass and wait until after the games started. If you text me or call and ask ” Hey, how many you got”, i’m gonna tell you to fuck off because that just pisses me off even more. RSVP at some point during the day so i know if it’s even worth having a game that night. We’ll be full though. So just take a minute and rsvp you lazy bastards. And dont pull an aaron mensch and rsvp and then call at 8:30 and ask, “Is it worth me coming?” You’ll be banned for life for that nonsense. Or at least kicked in the nuts the next time i see you.

This was the weekly email i send out for my poker schedules. Obviously I wasn’t in the greatest mood after the aussie millions tore me a new one. The truth is I got every call i wanted. AA against JJ, KK against QQ twice, 10’s against 5’s, and QQ’s against 66’s. I lost with all of them, and was 0 for 4 with my sets. I got all the calls I wanted, the ones that’ll pay me off in the long run, but the Aussie Millions Main Event was not kind to me. As far as the rest of the trip goes, I had a blast. Went on the internet and found a dodgeball league about 40 minutes away and went and tore it up on the dodgeball court over in Australia. Also made alot of very cool contacts. Tony G and Marsha Waggoner both took a piece of my action for the main event, and alot of the poker sites swapped information with me for possible future sponsorship. Sat and met with 888 poker (very cool guys), Full Tilt Poker (Said if I ever make it onto any featured table, he’ll have his guys come patch me up for any future events), and Party Poker. Party Poker actually has already paid off. Early last month I won a WPT celebrity Invitational Ticket for the tourney happening on Saturday at Commerce Casino. But because of my commitment to play in the Aussie Millions, I decided to sale that ticket and use the money towards that. I was able to get 11k for it. Well a friend at Party Poker was able to get me in that tournament anyways as long as I agree to wear their gear, and that in itself is very cool in my oppinion. I basically get to have the cake and eat it too. Alot of great things have happened since then, my second restaurant has opened in Down Town L.A., I’ve booked a part on the movie Soul Surfer about the chick who got her arm eaten off by jaws. Extreme Room makeover has picked my poker room to do an episode on. I’m going to Tahoe for the Celebrity tourney with Donny Walburg, Jeremy London, and Canseco (Whome is still a dooshbag, but we’ve worked our shit out), and then possibly to New Zeland in April for their poker championships. That is if they come through with their free buyins. Life has been a rollercoaster ride, but mostly on the up. An old friend has come back into my life, and even though there’s alot of history between us, the love hasn’t faded. Only problem is she’s married, and I’ve a wonderful girlfriend. Timing is always shitty. That girl Kesha has blown up and wasn’t a friend of mine, but wasn’t an enemy either. She was dating my dodgeball friend Costanza, and was even out in Vegas for the world championships a few years back playing with us. She was cute, but she was drama. Always fighting with Costanza for not having enough sex with her, but he’s alot older than her and guys aren’t built to outlast the energizer bunny in the sack. So I kept clear of that. But i’m glad at her success. I’m a big fan of seeing people succeed.
